Rooster Teeth, the guys that brought us Red vs. Blue (those really cool Halo videos) have created a great miniseries based on the Shadowrun game universe.
If you’re looking for something maybe a little twisted, a lot sarcastic and just plain ol’ funny you’ve got to see these videos.
Not familiar with Shadowrun? It’s based on a series of books that blends cyber punk and modern weaponry with magic, both shamanistic and traditional. It’s a fun universe that both Marc and I, as well as other club members, have enjoyed for years. The ‘verse started with books and role playing games, and now has video games.
“Earth, 2063. Long-dormant magical forces have reawakened, and the creatures of mankind’s legends and nightmares have come out of hiding. Megacorporations act as the new world superpowers, and the dregs of society fight for their own power. Sliding through the cracks in between are shadowrunners — underworld professionals who will do anything for a profit, and anything it takes to get the job done.”
Join the world of Orks, Shamans, Elves, Dragons, Yakuza and Mercs. The books are great fun. The game is too. Check out this online miniseries and judge for yourself.
