Medieval Stories: The Warriors Three – A Halo: Reach Machinima
You cannot watch this video.
Please Enter your Date of Birth
From Firestorm12:Halopen Films’ latest machinima release, “Medieval Stories: The Warriors Three,” is an odd little comedy. It’s about an ordinary game of Reach, but… well, it’s narrated by an eccentric medieval bard who seems to have found his way to modern times and tells stories of Halo matchmaking with a mix of archaic language and anachronisms aplenty. Told you it was odd. Nonetheless, we hope you enjoy-eth it!
Editor’s note: Language is mature. Proceed with caution.
