The Last Federation. Animated
« on: June 06, 2014, 08:18:07 pm »
Some of you might have already seen this, I couldn't find a thread already mentioning it, but I thought it was hilarious (and good coverage). It's totalbiscuit explaining the Last Federation on a podcast, animated.

The follow up is I can only assume going to be pretty hilarious.

Edit: Part 2 is here:    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ_NdBZsmqY

This is awesome, despite the inaccurate race animations.  ;D I wonder if it could be added to the game page somewhere on Steam?

Umm, why would animation based on podcast be added to steam despite subject matter? The video isn't owned by Arcen <_<

I know this is not made by Arcen, but it is a pretty awesome and funny video that nicely summarizes the players role in the game. It actually summarizes it better than the game trailers do.

It also serves to remind people of the recommendation from TB.

One issue I can think of with putting that specific video on the steam page is that it isn't Arcen's content. It's polaris's and they get as revenue from it etc. I agree it is an awesome promotional vid for the game, and would be great to get it out. But officially posting it on he steam page would probably be a huge can of worms for Arcen.

That all said, I'm saying that without any actual inside knowledge or anything. Just guesswork!  And maybe they could sticky a link to it on the top of the steam forums?

FYI, I'll post when I see part two and edit the original post to include it.

Part 2 is up here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ_NdBZsmqY

I'll edit the original post to include the link as well.

And if you liked part 1, part 2 is even more hilarious in my opinion.

Wow, that was amazing!

I don't watch his videos so I have not seen the original play through, but from the animated version it is clear why he liked the game.

I wonder if there are noticeable sales spikes with the release of videos like this one?

Yep, same thing with AI Wars.

I see they went with a very Futurama-ish design for the robot capitalists there.
