So I was out eating with my good friend MasterDana and we were discussing Marble Hornets (WHICH YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT HERE Marble Hornets) and ARG's in general when he brought up something called "What's in the Box?" that was posted quite a while ago.

I had never heard of it so I'm going to guess that even though this is quite old, many people on TL haven't either. It seems to be the trailer/preview for an upcoming European Half-Life fan movie. The production is excellent and the video itself is very well done.

Atmospheric post-apocalyptic sci-fi with a lot of mysteries and questions to be answered. This sort of thing is right up my alley.



He said there was a second video involving a young couple, but I haven't been able to find it. If you read this Dana, post the video!

Any Half-Life/Sci-fi fans who missed this, it's a must watch. The production is sick considering it isn't made by any sort of professional studio. If it isn't an outright half-life film, it's definitely an homage to half-life or perhaps set in the same universe with an alternate storyline. Very cool.

There is also this related and rather cryptic link:

Although I don't know what to make of it really

looks really interesting, and i agree that it looks quite impressive considering that it's not made by a professional studio.
i usually don't like first person views either, but so far it has held my interest.

I followed all of whats in the box.
Speaking of Marble Hornets, i don't really like where they've gone with the Slenderman "mythos", it was just so much more interesting when there weren't 10,000 people who don't understand it's origins trying to figure it out. Also they've invented a lot of new "superpowers" for him, which is kind of annoying.

are these the same guys that did the other half-life short (Escape from City 17)?

that one was really cool. so was this but IMO the running shouldn't have looked like brisk walking.

I don't think it's the same people who did Escape From City 17.
