You’ll never look at interstellar soldiers the same way again after watching this video by the MAKE design studio. The creators there made the clip pro bono — producing work which looks like it took weeks, if not months, to finish — to drum up support for the Child’s Play charity started eight years ago by Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins, creators of mega-successful webcomic Penny Arcade.
Child’s Play, for those who don’t know, delivers toys and video games to children undergoing treatment in medical institutions all over the world. Christmas time’s right around the corner so if you’ve been putting off a donation, don’t delay any longer. And if you haven’t thought about it, you should. Giving to others in need is the best kind of multiplayer action you can experience.

Having said that, it’s a pretty damned good video, for a worthy cause.

“Look at them playing with their XBAWKES!”
“FUN FOR THE FUN GOD!”
etc. etc.

Friday, December 16, 2011 at 9:47 AMOh man, that’s sweet… And also a really good satire about the square-jawed brain-dead machismo of the space marine sterotype, blowing their way into a HOSPITAL as if it’s an enemy installation.
