Aimbots  deffinition
(sometimes called "auto-aim") is a type of computer game bot used in first-person shooter games to provide varying levels of target acquisition assistance to the player. Using an aimbot in multiplayer games is considered cheating, as it gives the user an advantage over unaided players.

Galactic Mail & Sigg Jones

I believe I may have posted this in my other blog 2 years ago (if I did I apologise).
But I'm sure if you're like me.. you won't mind watching a second time (or 40th time for me).

I really love the toon shaded look. It's so natural looking.
Even the animation... I remember reading somewhere that they took out some of interpulation in the animation and took out some frames to give it a more natural 2d feel (it almost looks like they posed it frame by frame (a lot of warmth to the animation)...

aww man I gotta watchit again. my favorite of 2008 (even still my top fav)

For a added bonus.
Thought I throw in Sigg Jones, a earlier project by the same guys!
