They need to make a full-length Portal movie.

That's pretty awesome! On the topic of game based shortfilms:

I watched the first part of this ages ago and they just released the 2nd part of it the other day.

I'm also a big Fallout fan so I enjoyed this:

They just filmed a mini series as a sequel with a $20k budget so I'm really looking forward to seeing what they did with that when it gets released. I personally think someone should also do a full length high budget Fallout film, because the way the Fallout universe is depicted through the games leaves a lot of open area for a movie to fit into the universe and setting without actually having to have any of the story directly from the games. That kind of freedom for creativity I think could yield a really awesome game that wouldn't disappoint.

No problem, I love what Youtube has achieved in allowing talented private film makers to produce such high quality stuff without needing a massive budget.

Same. I'm so sick of Hollywood. Movies were so much more interesting in the 80s.

Now it's all remakes and comic book adaptations (although some of them are good).
