Life is a Game
NeoGAF’s mastrbiggy pointed out a Halo: Reach ‘funtage’ (with a couple of Halo 3 clips) from Bang Bang TV, a french group – it’s not like other montages. It’s Halo… through the lens of the other games you grew up with. And it’s fantastic. You can turn Closed Captioning on if you really need the translation on the few French words shown in the video… or you can just sit back and watch. It’s 14 minutes long, and I, like many others, said “I’m not watching the whole thing!” at the start… only to watch the whole thing. It’s great. (Louis Wu 12:55:33 UTC)
