It's no secret that the gaming community has spawned a variety of subcultures, all that seem to slowly emerge in today's society. Whether or not some people choose to accept it, the world is getting accustomed to the idea of game concepts becoming (alternate?) pop culture.

Enter mountyoum. He's an avid contributor to DeviantArt and one amazing animation tweener. He has worked on Flash movies based off serious Japanese-style fighting games, and the word "awesome" doesn't even seem to cover how great they are. In fact, some of his movies are incomplete, yet are already way up the scoreboards in overall impact and quality.

In the video below, he manages to tell a story about two campus colleagues in his school, University of Rhode Island and a fictional rivalry involving Tekken like-combat (without the 3D). They have both been his friends in younger years, and so you could see how much passion he has put into this five-month (yes, five) work spanning 170 MB long (not 56k friendly, sorry).

Although it sports some extremely violent content (although not particularly in the bloody side) plus some suggestive dialogue, it's actually pretty tame. It's a blast to watch over and over again, and we hope that'll you enjoy while we try to get by in this weekend slowdown.

I'm surprise they just notice this video, this is quite old, you guys should check his recent work though.

Wow.

Wow that is weird. I go to URI and I know that kid Bruce. However, I've never seen that video. Anyone know where I can find the rest of his stuff? I want to know who the creator is.

I've Never Seen This Video

It was very entertaining. More fun to watch than a lot of movies.

For Monty's sake

if your gonna write an article on one of the pioneering artist in video game sub pop culture then at least have the decency to spell his name right!!

Monty Oum, his full name. also commonly searched as "montyoum", he is sometimes refered to by his friends as sponge-***** queerpants.

NOT MOUNTYOUM....MOUNTY!? he is definatley not canadian!
