    DW lobbing a Molotov cocktail seems totally in character to me.

    Game of basketball: approximated with man in basketball-themed helmet
    Violent conflict: rendered with high fidelity

    Sounds like GTA to me.

    Needs the "machinima" tag.

    These are amazing! I know nothing about GTA. How difficult is it to make these videos with the game?

    PC version only. You can record clips while playing the game, or go into a special "Director's Mode" which lets you change characters/costumes, choose location/time of day, and turn off cops and dying. The video editor is pretty simple, and you can change camera angles and settings after-the-fact, apply effects/shaking, etc.

    Filming vehicle stunts is simple, but getting characters to interact in ways other than person-running-away-from-person-with-axe ways is tricky, since you can't really give cues. People have been using plugins to make this easier.

    Also you can play as a mountain lion and go around the city mauling people, which always makes for entertaining video ... er, or so I've heard.

    Please tell me it's P22.

    Full House, ABC, Tuesday, 9pm: Michelle badly wants a mother, but her choice turns out to be her kindergarten teacher (June Lockhart), who is twice Danny's age. Meanwhile, D.J. and Kimmy trade places for one night for a school project, much to the Tanners' dismay. Also, a mountain lion goes around the city mauling people.

    Hey, long version of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme.

    That was surprisingly delightful.

    Just need a "Turn off cops and dying" mode for real life.

    I am now about 75% sure that all of Full House was made in a video game.
