A gothic/”alternative” metal band, who I know from their days of opening for The Gathering.
They were really great, but like their peers they slid downhill. Andrea Ferro ruins pretty much every song he’s in, and I’ve always wished him completely removed from the band.

They could alternately be called metal or “alternative rock”, whatever the fuck that means.
My favourite songs are more ambient/atmospheric or focus strongly on Anneke van Giersbergen‘s strong vocals.

Though she’s done other stuff, I know her from her trance/progressive house contributions.

I heard of Codehunters from one of those idiotic “10 things you didn’t know”-type YouTube videos. It had a reference to Borderlands – (2009 game) having artwork similarity.
However, it turns out to be Kotaku’s usual bullshit “journalism” based on a reddit comment thread. No, really. For all anyone knows, Kotak-eww made it all up.
Overall, this short is decent. Good enough to deserve the recognition it did. There are plenty of other similar styles and stories which are like this though.

A group of friends gets in deep and bumbles into crime to settle things.
Reminds me a lot of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels – (1998 movie) crossed with The Usual Suspects – (1995 movie). Overall it’s fair, but not that great and absolutely not worth a second watch.

A mockumentary about four vampire flatmates in New Zealand.
Bad. This is supposed to be comedy. I’m not laughing. From what little I saw, I doubt it will get any better.

The son of “one of the most famous” boxers becomes a fighter himself.
I just didn’t feel it. It feels slow and predictable.

Some people with accents drive a carriage through the snow and talk a lot.
Oh god, this was supposed to be good? If it can’t get interesting in the first half an hour then why in the fuck should I continue watching?

This looks like it hasn’t been updated in forever, because there are references to it being tested under Windows 95/98.
