Yo.
Pretty much sharing the excitement of getting dugg with the others here in IP. Being a part of the Digg community, can't help but consider it awesome for us to be on the front page for once.
One thing I wanted to bring up was the fact that the Kotaku version of our video post had a misleading article title (I will agree it had a lot to do with it getting dugg 4000+). But the fact that it brought up the question "What if Nintendo Made Halo 3" left the community pondering an actual answer to it.
This of course leaves a lot of people either bashing Nintendo or Halo 3, something we didn't intend.
As for Gal, Guy, and Villain, the idea first arrived to make a long line of video game parodies to enter a video in the MLG U.S. Army Film Fest for the Funniest category. The plan was to make a parody of all 5 games as in the full version, but because of a 90 second limit to the contest, we had no choice but to cut out Pacman and FFVII.
It was the only way we could think of to keep the storyline in the video linear (as in where Guy falls and gets up after the crash) and it really had nothing to do with just making it "Nintendo." Both Pacman and FFVII took a lot of work to get right, and it really hurt to cut it out for contest purposes.
My take on GGV was for it to actually unify gaming in general. It was more towards reminiscing the old games from all platforms rather than bashing any of them (C'mon, we've all played those games at some point for enjoyment =).
So no hate...appreciate ;-)

I still can't believe we started a small fanboy war w/ our little video. We vowed to protect teh interwebz from these type of things. We have truly failed. =(
Haha don't be too hard on yourself, because our parody is a parody, it's bound to bring out the fanboys. They probably would have fought about it anyway; thats what fanboys do. lol.
Ya and by the way, is there really a answer to that question, "what if nintendo made halo ?" As far as I'm concerned, I just enjoy the memories and reminiscing about the games we all used to play... So no more arguing just, enjoy.....
