Sparks McGee: Into Darkness

  • blog

For those of you who don’t know who Sparks McGee is … first, shame on you. Second, here’s the canonical Tumblr and the post that started the whole thing.

Now, here is the trailer for Sparks McGee: Into Darkness that I didn’t know about until now, three months after it was given to the world as a GIFT, YOU BASTARDS. IT WAS A GIFT TO HUMANITY.

And I didn’t know about it, which is my greatest failing.

You guys, this is one of the greatest examples of Get Excited And Make Something that I’ve seen in a long time, and I think you should make your own Sparks McGee thing RIGHT NOW.

    To be honest my favorite part was the snippet of Mal. And also the awesome CGI cowboy hats. And also the whole video.

      Only if one of the Stretch Goals was a cameo of Marauder Shields… and a flash cameo of Garrus performing calibrations! 🙂

    I’ve seen the full movie. I don’t want to totally spoil it, but the reveal at the end is pretty epic.

    Hi Wil. I really appreciate you talking about my video like this. Being creative and doing fun videos like this helps me get through exactly the kind of things you’ve been talking about in your blog posts of late. To have a person i respect greatly as a human being comment on a piece of work i’ve created means a lot. Thank you very much 🙂

    A little bit of Sparks McGee love from me to you: http://craighs.tumblr.com/image/55869592132. It almost goes without saying: He’s got a course you can plot!
