This is sorta off-topic to LotRO, but I thought you guys might get a kick out of it.

Press Start

Basically, a bunch of people decided to make a low budget movie (read: talking like low 4-digit figures here) to do a global-parody of video games in general. It's coming out on DVD Sept 25th, and looks like it's gonna be fairly funny. They even managed to get a couple of various people from the VG industry to help out with it (e.g. the actors that did Johnny Cage and Raiden in the original Mortal Kombat arcade game are in the movie).

For the past few months, the site had been releasing flash animations that give a backstory that leads up to the movie, Press Start: Bonus Levels

If you go to that page, they inverted the episodes, so start with
"Beer Comes a New Challenger" at the bottom and go up from there.

As well as the animated flash movies, they also did a few limited videos related to the Press Start movie's main villain found here.

There's also a YouTube video with a cast/crew interview about Press Start, found here.
