2^nd Place... Smooth Few Films

If these fellas had made more than two Halo movies so far, they would have earned first place in a snap. Most of their work is actually done in the Counter-Strike engine.

No matter. What little they've given us is pure brilliance. The following clips aren't just comedies that happen to star Halo 3 characters and happen to take place in an Xbox Live setting... they're comedies about Halo 3 and about Xbox Live. They're smart as hell commentaries on gaming in general.

First, "The Bag Boy," depicting that awkward but important conversation between a father and son. The topic, of course, is teabagging.

"The Bag Boy"Â

Next, "The Over-Achiever," in which a young soldier experiences an epitome. A higher calling. In other words, he unlocks an Achievement.

"The Over-Achiever"Â

Smooth Few Films has plenty more from other games. Head here to check out "The Leet World," a reality show starring Counter-Strike avatars, or "A Day in the Life of a Turret," featuring everyone's favorite Portal obstacle.
