Far Cry 3 And The Stranger In A Strange Land You know that old adage about how if you give a monkey a typewriter and an infinite amount of time, he’ll eventually write the complete works of William Shakespeare?
And this video proves it. “If you like what you hear, imagine what a real opera could do with it,” YouTuber MBulteau13 writes. We’re imagining. Oh, we’re imagining.
It’s easy to pick on Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace because of Jar Jar. And well, everything else too. But you know what’s always fun about Star Wars? The light saber battles! This video, however, hilariously points out how silly they look like on closer inspection.
When some terrorist arsehole’s got everyone pinned down, there’s only one way to solve the problem — up close and personal. Put another way, you can’t kill Chuck Norris at close distance; close distance to Chuck Norris always kills you.

In this skilfully assembled scene that feels straight out of the siege of Minas Tirith, a cast of hundreds go to war. Featuring undead, a dragon, and a couple of decidedly irritated mage-generals, “The Great Battle of Skyrim” lives up to its name. I, for one, walked away curious to learn more about the reasons for their fight.
Seems to me that fan films inspired by video games can go one of two ways. Either they try to perform the stunts and action in titles like Batman: Arkham City or they focus on recreating the look of the fictional worlds in the games they draw from.
