*I'm not a gamer and don't do martial arts, but I lavishly supported this Kickstarter effort strictly because of that video. Wow. Look at all the headbending scifi riffing this writerly guy is doing with the video medium. Instead of being a movie, with, like, some scifi stuck in the corners, this is a science-fiction mentality expressed as viral digital video.
*My admiration knows few bounds here. The scripting is great. The costuming, the props. The set is amazing, and there's even real camera work. There are postmodern violations of the fourth wall. The acting is hilarious even though there's not a single person in it that can act. Even the narrator's notorious one-note surly public affect is deployed to supreme effect. Using this to jumpstart some videogame is like having your bubblegum delivered by an Ekranoplan.
