Tales of the Grey, Episode 1c: "Experiment 97"

[KSICarbonCore]

You should put this Vault on the nexus.

[yshabash]

that better not be what happened to chell after portal 2...

[lazyboy01423]

I love it but I don't get it....

[masterb585]

this story is or at least this episode is a lot like the giver on such a deep level I'm impressed who was the writer he should consider becoming an author (i say that only because the people who make these kinds of things[good ones at least] are teenagers or college students with plenty of untapped talent)

[swassking]

nice opener kinda scared me at the end, singing computers give me the creeps. very well done most suck this was good

[CoolIizard]

Wow... that's certainly a different take on the Machinima genre; definitely a change of pace from Spriggs. Very Twilight Zone-esque. Seeing as these three were all listed as parts of one episode, will you be making more?

[sandwalker94]

the guy is like "i EXCAPED!" *granade falls in front of him* "oh shhhit" *BOOM*

[0104aj]

will there be another one i l like fallout 3 machinima more than halo 3 machinima

[strcop1]

i cant find tales of grey 2b

[terminx12]

nice man how do you make fallout 3 machinima ?

[crockpotorcrackpot]

hahaha  ESCAPE FAIL

[bryceschritter1]

Here's what I think happened. when he got out and the grenade was thrown and he dove out of the way and was maybe knocked unconcious and hurt. The oracle realized that he was unhappy and she loved him. So when he dove out of the way of the grenade oracle knew but she told the others that he died. To protect him

[CatSquire]

lol he only lasted 5 seconds

[thatcaptainguy]

really different as a machinima goes, but also really good

[jrptrapt]

honestly it reminds me of the twighlight zone. but u might have got it from there idk. still it was great. i thought it was kinda funny how the guy survived like 5 seconds from leaving the fault then he died.

[sanelson401]

one of the best i have seen so far, really enjoyed, thx for sharing 5*

[Moviegar12]

lol at 4:37!

[gruntsrule1]

this is a bit like the twilight zone

[MrKiraofdarkness]

i first thought the machine was gonna be like hal from 2001 space odyessy

[darthemporor]

Great machinima, have to say that I'm going to miss willy, but this and judgemental will make reasonable replacements.

p.s. Try not to make the next tale quite so depressing, or at least don't cheapen it like the random grenade throw... Just a suggestion

[roosterchains]

This cool, i get what they were doing its like tales of the darkside, old tv show that narrates mysteries and horror stories.

[mattstorm360]

well that weckt the mood at 4:30

[Koshea2]

So what was the expirement done on vault 97?

[TheFutureViking]

@Koshea2

The experiment was how residents of a vault would react when he/she found out the they were part of an experiment.

[master10999]

i feel so sorry for oracle when she started singing it sounded like she was going to cry

[AndaleTheGreat]

great short story

[kadaj0073]

You need to make a new series! But better. Maybe vault 77.

[druidlegacy]

mabey this will tie in with Judgemental?

[meganerd14]

nah, Judgemental is a comedy

[Ozuar]

Well I mean theyll give us more cause this is episode 1 so what it really comes down to is what that more will be

[crazmnke]

BOOOHOO i want moar now

[Dcsk8t3r867]

What's with the crappy tree animation after he gets out?

[DarknessUnkown100000]

lol im free!!BOOM!!!

[mikefian]

This reminds me of a twilight zone episode... The old man on the mountain I believe it was called.

[Baracuss1]

This reminds me of the Twilight Zone...

[RenGraes]

Wonder where the grenade came from. Duelling Group or a mis-throw perhaps??

OH! And I spy a SPRIGGS Cameo! ^vv^

[iliathebest]

@RenGraes Naa, it just the annoying man.

[RenGraes]

annoying man? o_o?

[Hades3390]

The annoying man is a man called Sticky in Little lamplight, you have to take him to big town and apparently he talks constantly, singing and making up bed time stories.

[bladedoodle]

lul he died, it is so sad and yet.... it made me laugh at that part.

[lbIeesel]

that was a quick series...

[RunningGunStudio]

Episode, Dumb Ass.

[lbIeesel]

well then... can't wait for the next episode

[Robbieagray]

wait he died? :(

[AndrewDaApe]

visited by the grenade fairy........whatta way to go...

[Eatmykebab]

This was a really good one

[Makingthebullet]

It really makes you think about love for a moment, doesn't it? Is simulated love actual love? Just because it is processed over silicon and metal, does it make it any less real than being processed by the organic material of the brain? If not, then what makes a computer different than a human mind or soul?

[zarteen]

EXCELLENT! One of the greatest serious fallout 3 machinimas ever made! The voice acting was stupendous, and I loved how you made the actor's mouths move accordingly.

On top of that, it had a beautiful plot. Bravo, and 5 stars.

[CriticalHit052]

is this done???

[ichibanjack]

the end is kind of like twilight zone

[omfganime1]

*claps* bravo

[Yakuno211]

dude...this episode had the same theme as The Giver by Lois Lowry.

[Wulf96]

the entire movie had that theme

[NeonGlobeProductions]

@Yakuno211 But Jonas did not die at the end of the GIVER there are more books and he is alive.

[TheIronHayden]

Wow that was great you guys really out did yourselves with this, this set the standard for a serious Machinima and I hope the series get's better and better

[45580677]

Can't wait for the next one but just to ask did she lie about his death.

[RunningGunStudio]

I won't answer that question, not because I'm a dick, but because it is a valid question.

This episode leaves the question open.

[xyrod]

I just want to tell you how stunned i was by your machinima. The whole plot was very emotional and well done. I hope you will continue to do videos like these. This was a very well directed story I really enjoyed to watch. And im a Fallout 3 fan too by the way ^^ - 5 stars to you

[Programmer7]

Wow, that was really good! One of the best I've seen. At first I thought I would just wait until you guys ended Tales of the Grey and started a second season of Spriggs, but I like this much more than Spriggs!

[pandemicrazor]

w8 this cant be final episode of tales of the gray .probably this story but they might come out with another tale.

[hyperspartan117]

hmm i liked it ...... he died a very random death i mean a grenade came out of nowhere and killed him

[madman12222]

well at least the talking computer dose not threaten you with cake.... and lies

[skullnight13th]

how do you get those expressions im curius i want to make a fallout machinima and those really would help me out

ps big fan since spriggs episode 1

[Silverhawxstudios]

good job with tales of the gray running guns. question: me and some friends plan to make a machinima any words of advise u can give us

[PushPenPro]

The ending was crepy. Now go to sleep...go to sleep.... ;)

[Akekillz]

OK there is only 3 episodes, because Omega means final in greek, if I'm correct.

[RunningGunStudio]

Yes, correct.

[is194]

Hahaha I loved how he died

[hayahusa44]

is that it?

[jedislayer200]

Very well done.

Guess this is going to be like your version of he twilight zone?

[darnocjosh]

So I'm assuming Each Episode is its own story?

[keanhitchon3]

i think twilight zone is the best choice to use when it comes to the vaults as we know they were seedy to begin with my only compliant is it has a serious tone i'll get used to that once o get over spriggs/willy grade insanity

[SLDkh2]

This was real nice Runningunstudios

[zeldalovergirl]

job well done! you were out of it for a long time, but came back with one hell of an episode! loved it!

by the way, small notice. The robots were called Rotri, Soltri and Boltri. Hmm... Credit to Spriggs? good ep!

[RunningGunStudio]

You caught it. Wait till they return....

[MasterGame12]

So are all the episodes going to take place in a Vault? Or will some of them take place outside, in the Wasteland? (Either way, amazing series here. You guys rock at Machinima.)

[Chronixism]

Good stuff you guys,

Loved the suspense and stuff,

But I cant help but feel the ending was rushed.

Either way, cant wait for the next one.

[magejawa21]

hes not dead because that was a pulse grenade. plus that would suck ass and runninggun has more class than that

[eldest91]

Exactly why tha hell would they kill the main char. in the first episode of the series.

[RunningGunStudio]

He was the main character for this episode.

Will he ever appear again? Who knows.

Consider it like the twilight zone.

[Wingexiasflight]

its episodes guys "TALES" plural theres many tales not just this one.

[keanhitchon3]

that may not nescaserrily be true as they are using twilight zone characters die revive disapear and reapear at any time so it leaves you guessing you can never truelly figure out what happens making it hellishly hard to plan but great to do

[theassasin251]

Personally I prefer Judgemental, I love comedy. Still, Id say this is nothing short of amazing, keep up the good work

[LoboApache15]

wow...best Running Gun Production to date...(this comming from a solid spriggs fan)

[MetShoah]

A slight change of pace for running gunn but i like it. Very creepy. Keep up the good work.

[keyonte0]

This more than a million times over makes up for JudgeMental.

[RunningGunStudio]

Is cool.

But if we want to keep these long, and still get them out within a month to six weeks, we have to keep Judgemental Short.

And we want to keep doing Judgemental. Gives everyone hope that we're still alive.

[meammadman]

anyone else feel slightly sad at the end?

[RunningGunStudio]

If you were, then I succeeded.

-Michael Reed

[Wingexiasflight]

lol i felt sad...i wasnt until she started singing go to sleep

[warpedwiselegoman]

kinda reminds me of "The Twilight Zone" in a way

[redrider115]

Greatest. Episode. EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1991sonicfan]

that was good, and it was a little sad at the end, nice work guys

[g4rulez]

very well done alot like the twilight zone a huge difference between this and spriggs the only thing is that spriggs sent constant comedy at you and this is mystery and what not but all in all very very good

[ShadowSniper53]

This is better than I expected.

[onrev]

that was good man, if i was better at english i would disect all the symbols themes and what not, but all i can say is very well writen. you should submit this to... somthing i don't know xD but it was good

[supermouse96]

i can't follow the plot but it was very well done i do wish someone will tell me the plot

[Wingexiasflight]

there is no plot.

[Nothernwolfboarder]

wow by far one of the best machinimas ever!

[darikai219]

What is this?

[motoraptor10]

what i wanna know is who threw that grenade

[Perfecttargetstudios]

this was just great

[SupiorMachinimaFan]

to bat that he doesn't get five steps away from the vault and gets destroyed.

[XxgamonxX]

lol he gets outside and gets blown up tee hee hee

[ackbarkazar]

GJ very well done and worth the wait 5/5

[dragoneye7x]

Nice... Cant wait for the next one. Keep up the good work!

[KPSpark]

VERY Twilight Zone like.

[darkdesigns]

Genius.  ^_^

[NekoSigma]

And yet again the bar has been raised for us little guys.

[kausmage25]

fallout out 3 in my mind has always been a game that could make a great machinima and now someone has finaily pulled it of. This is a great seris cant wait to see more

[Zlatchi]

I can see you used the G.E.C.K. a lot, nice job.

P.S. That grenade looked a lot like a pulse grenade, in the story is it supposed to be a stun grenade? I guess I will have to wait and find out.

[comicjoe42]

I was half-expecting Marcus to start a crusade against the vaults, freeing the people inside, etc. Apparently its not gonna be that kind of show, but I'm very interested in this series...

[mongoose1138]

Oracle's voice is kinda giving me a flashback to Halo CE Chronicles...

[imaloony8]

Rather abrupt ending, but still good. It'll be interesting to see where this series goes. So far, it looks like it will do a Twilight Zone kind of deal, which isn't a bad thing.

[DMaster305]

6:26 - 6:43 ....In the Twilight Zone....

Were you intending on making these like the Twilight Zone? Cause if so you did a damn good job..

[darkdesigns]

haha, I thought the same thing. :) They really did a fantastic job with this whole episode. Can't wait to see more. :D

[fireymage]

Is This it?!

[chidoribysaskue2]

this is just the first episode if im right. im going to assume that every episode is a vault experiment if this is a series and this was only one episode

[clarkis117]

I love it.

[ZeroAdam2009]

Worth the wait.

So worth it.

Thank you. This is really something....

[gruntsrule1]

thats ironic how marcus just gets out of the vault only to be killed by a random grenade

[shootandrunfilms]

ya just think that happend on the game when u escape and blow up and it say u beaten the game that would suck

[gruntsrule1]

that would be so bad

[Dreitzel8]

very interesting! please keep them coming

[k0t3y41]

hella crazy guys keep u[ the damn great work!

[boodabomb936]

ok that was a pretty deep sad story guys....sweet =P the way she sings at the end is pretty creepy tho >.> 5/5

[jeffdudel]

:o

Halo music?

[RunningGunStudio]

Nope. All was Fallout 3 or our own.

[HaloFan262]

that ending was actually kinda upsetting, poor marcus, killed by a cheap grenade? guess we're all human, fragile, easily disposed of. And i guess the Oracle is simply a programme cabaple of getting a soul, enough of the deep stuff, overall good miniseries, i really enjoyed it guys

[Conker0051]

that was great

keep up the good work

[chickenruler]

Wow! Just wow. Those are the only words to describe it.

The wait is finally over and what a wait it was but what an episode it was!

Wow....

[radius117]

Very nice! The audio seemed a bit off, but it was much better than most machinima.

It kind of reminded me of Deus Ex Machina by Digital Ph33r, but with a bit more dark humor.

[yuinyo]

Oh my gosh this is the best yet! I will defiantly have to keep watching this one.

[LAHE11RAISER]

what was vault 101's experiment 0_o?

[Darkshard1]

Never to be opened...

[Defayerxxl]

There experiment was to repopulat the capital waistland

[stricker608]

to repopulate

[flycycle2]

that was stupid gets out then gets a nade to the foot and explodes didnt like him dieing next time make it longer and dont kill off the main character

[DaUziel]

This was so much better than i thought it would be.

Oh, and...

Oracle > GLaDOS

[UltimaWeaponVIII]

That was.....amazing. Good work.

[eddienom]

This is really good.

keep up.

[thatguy2805]

for some reason this kinda reminds me of twilight zone

[ghstrcnadvncdwrfiter]

This is incredible! This really reminds me of the Twilight Zone series. I hope you come with more tales like this, but still revisit some of the old ones. Keep this up!

[Chronicler177]

amazing work guys, cant wait for ep 2

[MoonIMover]

Holy shit this is awesome.

Best machinima I've ever seen. And since I'm a dorky loser, I've seen an awful lot of them.

[Chronicler177]

hey your not a loser just cuz you watch machinima, lol, dont get down

[MoonIMover]

I'm not down.  I love being a loser.

I can garuntee you that almost everyone at RunningGunStudios are losers too, but look at what they made! Something fucking awesome.

[Jakeeboy101]

Tales of the Grey, perhaps not linier, or even in the same time, this was 150 years after the creation of the vaults, could the next one be 200 years, or 100?

And will it always be the same vault?

You have got me hooked, loving it so far :P

[RunningGunStudio]

They are confined to a certain local area.

The Confederacy of Baltimore to be precise.

[Jakeeboy101]

I havent played Fallout, so I dont know just how big that is, but it sounds awsome, just like this episode is :)

[RunningGunStudio]

We sort of made that up, so it's not in Fallout 3...

[MaskedEgo]

That was really amazin. Keep it up. I think this could definetely be a film, I'd love to see it made into one.

[dinkerdink88]

Ya I totally agree and also it was funny when he got out of the vault and then a grenade came out of no where and blew him up, that was totally lol anyway awesome series when is the new JudgeMental coming out?

[CptGrunt1227]

Whoa. Tales of the Grey is going to be the ultimate machinima. It's so well written and I already like where this story line is going.

Great work, RunningGun.

[speedy1231292]

Tales of the Grey is definetely looking good

[akatsukileaderman]

....judgemental is better

[zbegner666]

you know, the internet isn't all about lolz.

[Thendoril25]

I thought it to be so much better :(

Good work at it, but it was kinda slow moving unlike your earlier creations. Judge-Mental is fun though :)

[TheJangodarkblade]

i feel sory for the girl robot is that weired

[MaXimumN1nja182]

very good

[Zartemis]

That was...kinda sad. I'd actually like it if Marcus' story continued outside, culminating in a return to the Vault. It's possible he survived the grenade and Oracle lied, or didn't know he survived.

[RunningGunStudio]

I say nothing except that do not believe anyone in this series. NOTE THE OPENING CHALKBOARD.

[zbegner666]

I think tales of the grey is going to be a different story every episode with different characters thus calling it "tales" of the grey, not the tale.

[RunningGunStudio]

Correct. Although there will be a correlation

[kubrickman]

That was awesome, but in true fallout trivia, Vault 97 was used to experiment the affect of there being only one Vault member, with the only company of his imagination of 4 puppets. He soon left the vault and after coming across slavers, he killed him with his bare hands. He was known as the puppet-man.

[darksoul517]

um.....your talking about vault 77

[ghstrcnadvncdwrfiter]

That was a Penny Arcade Comic, not sure if it's real canon. And darksoul417 is right, that's vault 77.

[Fieryone233]

Did you guys actually model your own vault?

[RunningGunStudio]

Somewhat. We borrowed from the original 101, then created our own after we cleared out and expanded sections.

[Fieryone233]

Excellent, I can't wait to see where this goes.

So who's the Fallout buff in RunningGunStudios anyway? XD

[ironhidewulf]

that was diffrent very cool

[kazukdum]

Very Awseome

[DaveStrife1]

That was amazing, totally worth the wait.

[LegoMETAL44]

i want to cry because it a good sad serios

[spartaninspace]

i cant believe marcus died... and was that grenade a rescripted water bottle or a plse grenade? its hard to tell

and btw rg that was great

[JakeWearsJeans]

......................

[HankJKennyton]

gotta love it

[ryry4D]

awesome story and voice acting

keep it up!

[JackCkiller]

nice
