There’s a whole different sub-genre of machinima that I haven’t shown here yet. It consists of music video montages — mixes of music and suitable scenes from a particular game. These mixes are generally humorous in nature and can be found for most popular games. While I originally stumbled upon this sub-genre a long while ago in a video that featured Halo, I’m going to start things off by sharing a TF2 one, the current flavor of the month. Enjoy.

He was also the person doing the camera work.
