Video Game Massacre Montages

'Art of the Instakill' Pays Tribute to One-Hit Death Dealers

— May 15, 2012 — Pop Culture
Anyone who’s a fan of modern gaming will appreciate 'Art of the Instakill,' an epic montage of one-hit death dealing moves that ensures opponents go down and stay down. Made by production team Corridor Digital, 'Art of the Instakill' has live-action actors enacting famous moves by the likes of Master Chief, James Bond, Commander Shepard and, the king of video games himself, Mario. Prepare to overdose on geekiness when watching this badass tribute vid.

It would be a great injustice to talk about 'Art of the Instakill' without talking about the soundtrack as the Corridor Digital team painstakingly remixed memorable tracks from each of the games featured into one fluid and ear-pleasing song. The results were so good that Corridor Digital even has a download link on their YouTube page for those interested.
Trend Themes
1. Retro Gaming - Opportunity to create new games or content inspired by classic video games and characters featured in the montage.
2. E-sports - Opportunity to create new competitions or events centered around one-hit death dealing moves and showcase advanced gaming skills to fans around the world.
3. Gaming Influencers - Opportunity for social media personalities and content creators to showcase their skills and create viral content with inspirational gaming moves and techniques.
Industry Implications
1. Video Game Development - Development of new video games or downloadable content that feature one-hit death dealing moves and incorporate memorable characters from classic video games.
2. Film and TV - Opportunity to create films or TV shows that showcase legendary video game characters and their abilities, or create a documentary about the competitive gaming scene and its participants.
3. Music Production - Opportunity to create new music remixes or soundtracks for video games that incorporate classic sound effects and memorable tracks to invoke nostalgia and engage fanbases.
