Stupid Video Corrupting Idiots. Why Oh Why?

I'm simultaneously elated and POed. I finally found a video I've been looking for in a full length version for years, Nine, an 11 minute animation by Shane Acker about a ragdoll sort of creature named Nine, and his mentor Five. *Spoiler warning if you're gonna watch the embedded vid. Also, it is highly advised that you turn off or down the sound when you watch the video...* The ragdoll creature things are trying to escape from a metal cougar-like construct. The cougar robot thing hunts the ragdolls and kills them, so it can trap their soul in a green glowy talisman it wears on a necklace. The ragdolls have the other half of the talisman contraption, which glows green at the approach of the cougar robot. Nine and Five are the only ragdolls left in a sort of vast junkyard landscape filled with bizarre contraptions and random junk. After Nine whitenesses the cougar thing kill Five and take his soul into the necklace Nine takes action and sets up a trap for the beast. After killing the the cougar and taking the necklace, Nine realizes that the necklace piece and the other green glowing thing that the ragdolls have fit together. Once they are placed together they release the souls and they go to rest.
That's the good news...However, someone decided to randomly totally defile the video and put extremely disturbing sound clips in the background...which ruined the entire thing. Thankfully, the video does not contain any dialog only sound, so it can be watched and still understood without sound. However, the sound effects and the like are simply superb and it's rather a waste to not be able to watch it with them without hearing freakish noise in the background. I'll embed the video, though I highly recommend watching it without the sound on.

On a completely different note, I am not the proud owner of Halo: Combat Evolved for PC. I finally managed to locate it on the Target website and order it with my gift card. Why I couldn't find it before I don't know...Anyways, it should get here on Monday or so, so that'll be a grand day for explosions, aliens and violence. I still have a bit left on the gift card however, so I'm contemplating what other game to get that I don't have, or what I might need from there (well, want).
At the moment I'm trying to think of something to animate. I've just been doing practice drawings/animation lately, but nothing that is going to turn into a real, full length extravaganza that I want it to. I'm probably gonna end up making some sort of music video. I've been thinking of either Cottoneye Joe or Levas Polka, the thought to animate these is most likely inspired in some subconscious way through these two videos:

Alright, I've run out of steam for now. I'll probably be putting up something or other on new years on Potatosheep. Happy holidays, even though they're almost over:'(.
