Tracy Harwood Podcast Episodes January 23, 2025 Leave a reply

The Little Limpet is an Elite Dangerous animation by CMDR Nickweb85, released in July 2024. It has shades of Disney X David Attenborough X Busby Barkley.

S5 E165 What is it about those HL NPCs? Ridiculous Ties (Jan 2025)

Tracy Harwood Podcast Episodes January 16, 2025 Leave a reply

This week’s #machinima short is ridiculous, yep Ridiculous Ties – a meme response to Eltorro64Rus’ review of favorite and least favorite words used by the Scientist in Half Life, created by Finzlow. And did we say its ridiculous?! We love the well-crafted humor in this, in-jokes with some of the best timing and inspired editing we’ve seen for quite some time.

Lazzi (plural of lazzo) are comedic routines or gags used in Commedia dell’Arte. They are pre-rehearsed bits of physical or verbal humor that can be inserted into performances, often improvised, to entertain the audience or punctuate the action.

S5 E162 Lethal Company Mini Series: Pilot (Dec 2024)

Tracy Harwood Podcast Episodes December 26, 2024 Leave a reply

What a fantastic short to end 2024 on… this week is yet another great creative work by GibbsonTV, released in April. The film is based on the award-winning Roblox-inspired game Lethal Company by Zeekerss. It’s not actually machinima, being made in Blender, but in the spirit of being inspired by the game and with a original tale, it has all the right heritage for our show. Check out our comments and add your own – and see you on the other side of the New Year for more creative tidbits.
