War of the Servers: Thunderchild

[@P3WNAGE]

I salute you those who were banned on the ThunderChild. Those players will be missed.

the thunderchild was the battle ship

Moving swiftly through the waters, cannons blazing as she came. Brought a mighty metal warlord, crashing down in sheets of flame! Sensing victory was nearing, thinking fortune must of smiled. People started cheering; "Come on thunderchild, come on thunderchild!" - Lashing ropes, and smashing timbers. Flashing heat rays pierced the deck! Dashing hopes for our deliverance, as we watched the sinking wreck! With the smoke of battle clearing, over graves in waves defiled. Slowly disappearing, farewell thunderchild! Farewell Thunderchild. Farewell Thunder...Child!

[@ValoricStarlight]

i always avoided war of the servers as i wasnt sure if it was war of the worlds... seeing this makes me want to see all of it

[@bradleysstuff]

watch it, it ascends its machinima status and becomes just a great piece of cinema.

[@Lord_Buckles]

is noone gonna talk about the amazing placement of music here, the sad doctor who music actually does pull your heart strings, even if it was for a couple of seconds

[@MichaelAnderson-ug4ko]

IDMB gave war of the servers a 7 TAKE THAT BİG MOVİE COMPANİES

[@CommanderKiv]

This part of the movie is my favorite. It's gotta be the most emotionally evoking scene in history. I think a tear came to my eye when the scene was over.

[@DehnusNorder]

I kinda like how the battle goes in the book alot better. She slowly goes closer to the Martian. After that she is hit by the black smoke but it has no effect she then rams in the first martian, Swivels around her guns and hits the second (I beleive with little effect), she then is hit by the heatray and explodes taking the third Martian with her. Buying enough time for 3 other IronClads to arive and the refugees to escape.

[@hfghhgfhfghfg]

One of my favorite songs ever, before wots i only watched the 2005 stephen king move, wots introduced me to jeff waynes rendition and im very glad it did!

[@InchonDM]

It was made in Garry's Mod, which in turn is a Half-Life 2 sandbox editor. The whole movie can be found on Litfuse Films, and it's well worth a look. Oh ya, the clip. I have to give it a five just for the sound, and then the editing comes and makes itself awesome.

[@vengefulnoob]

Really good, but in the war of the worlds (if you haven't realised that this film is based on the book, you probably can't even read this...) the thunderchild rams another tripod Another point, it's nice to see a film which is actually CLOSER to the book than both the '50s and the '00s films! Good on u mate! Hehehe my town gets hit by black smoke...

[@brunobucciarati4169]

Honestly, it's even closer to "Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of The Worlds", hence the inclusion of the song from said album

[@TheIndogamer]

**protagonist boat sinks** **upbeat rock continues**

[@Wingstrome]

GLORIOUS. Seriously wonderful and witty.

[@KKU362]

The song: Madame de Pompadour from Doctor Who written by Murray Gold. If you were wondering. :P

[@alang.bandala8863]

What? Its: Thunderchild, from Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds

[@DevilBirdProductions]

Farewell, Thunderchild! ;~;7

[@Defender78]

2:44 "people cheering" LoL!

[@sunburnteggandstuff]

Farewell Thunderchild

[@cymro5]

Good show... that song gives me the shivers!

[@melonhead82]

Strange but good at the same time. Well done.

[@Anubisbrother]

Thunder child is awesome!

[@stukajunking0987]

yeah! :)

[@ckopen7192]

this part had me cracking up the first time i watched the movie

[@TheMrsmartass13]

[@Gravity_studioss]

It feels so wrong to see people unable to put the gravity gun away

[@MFAtlas]

THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER WOTS 2

[@Deamonboy95]

Those who Disliked this Should Be Given to the Mingebag's After 5 minute's of being with Them they will understand.

[@buddy4445]

Why is this getting recommended to me now

[@mewt5358]

Holy shit it's literally just war of the worlds

[@matzenino]

Guys only for your information This vidio didnt he made. it was made by robert Stoneman. And they used Garrysmod for the film.

[@NapalmTerry]

*approving nod*

[@Noprobz]

Dude, that's epic !

[@pieboy6000]

Farewell Thunderchild :(

[@SlickGinoRomano]

@calapanpo Which Is why I like it so much! THE FILM IS JUST SO EPIC!

[@RealMcChaffee]

@Rotneybot It's Madame de Pompador from Doctor Who. The episode it was in was "The Girl in the Fireplace". Pretty sad episode.

[@coocoobumbum]

50 seconds made me cry =O

[@tabe3263]

Not gunna lie, that esculated quickly, a bit disappointed that thunderchild went down Way too easily like that, just think it would have better to add alot more of that scene as more of the rest of the thunderchild and more music into it as well.

[@NeededFourOfficial]

It died so fast because the HMS Thunder Child in the book War of the Worlds by HG Wells is a torpedo ram (based off the HMS Polyphemus), which is basically a glorified PT boat, and as such, it ain't gonna take much.

[@zerfphoenix7361]

NeededFour I know, HMS Polyphemus was constructed in the 1870s and the Thunderchild was inspired by it, but the Thunderchild lasted a little longer than this in the book and album, but I'm not hating, this is still a great parody of a masterpiece.

[@Skullkan6]

Except the canons take down like two or three fighting machines before that. It's one of the few near victories they get.

[@tabe3263]

Skullkan6 It was a victory because the civilian boat escaped just at the cost of a warship but yano, sacrafice cliches are awesomd

[@DEPTrooper]

XD this was the funniest sence in the movie.

[@user-sev_doodle_babftgamer]

Its like war of the worlds +gmod

[@reddalek555]

I'd say more of the Musical, noone ever does the book :,(

[@LordCommissarDrac]

well true now when u think over it

[@Renshen1957]

@calapanpo Agreed, the Thunder Child took out 2 tripods and had disappeared along with the third tripod in Well's book. Actually, I prefer the book, an ironclad steam ram rather than a tugboat (my opinion).

[@ipods36]

1:27 that music creeps me out...OMG TRIPODS HAVE WHEELS! WAT HAPPENED TO THE LEGS!!!!

[@alang.bandala8863]

Gmod limitations

[@mnlaaf9340]

Yep

[@sandrafomenko2537]

Mingebag shit

[@BenjaminBucketOfficial]

So this is war of the worlds gmod edition?

[@kyawmawthu]

i thought that as the thunderchild was sinking, the last cannon at the top would give one last shot

[@badwolf66]

It's from the episode Girl in the fire place..

[@Commander_Spyke]

awesome

[@maryjaneperry9951]

I imagine to get an image of 1 of emotions before it was vaporized but it explosion They seem like an orb Would a gravity gun On the front

[@RotneybotOfficial]

@MrCas943 Thanks, bud. :) I've heard of Doctor Who. Sounds interesting. Never seen an episode. But I've heard of a few creatures. Like "Weeping Angels" and "The Silence" etc. :P

[@jmm1233]

you could turn this into a film

[@MFAtlas]

Why didn't they have parson nathaniel!?!

[@RotneybotOfficial]

What music is this at 0:49? I can't stop listening to it. Its so emotional and amazing to hear over and over.

[@doctorpengo5205]

Madame de pompadour - Doctor Who, I think

[@Danimations08]

in this they could just use the remover tool on the tool gun

[@MeleeStormbringer]

interesting extraputaltion of the thunder child. What game is this from? anyway, the video is cool....neat graphics.

[@sandrafomenko2537]

Grr, shoulda modelled the Jeff Wayne / Michael Trim Fighting Machines! Good choreography though :)

[@sandrafomenko2537]

Yeah um this had nothing to do with aliens or martians but mingebags so dont be stupid

[@sandrafomenko2537]

Btw a 12 year old comment

[@DEPTrooper]

I wanna be a part of Wots2 D:

[@LordCommissarDrac]

england was the greatest empire on earth at that time with a huge fleet and military then why was it only thunderchild in the book? or show the militarys true power like in the 2005 film were they had to put shields on them to make a movie or else they would kick their ass

[@tabe3263]

Commissar even without shields, the Martians would easily crush the armies of earth easily. Do you forget how many fucking tripods were made? And tanks, helicopters and guns were not effective very the tripods, let alone without the shields.

[@Reddebrek46]

I'd like to see you do better

[@thehuntershavestolenhalfli728]

It's from half life 2 lost coast.

[@exxcaliburs6002]

lol

[@fenix611]

@MFAtlas WHY

[@YouSunkMyFishy]

Nah. They don't have the ability to remove other people's things. That's why they used un-weld blocks. I have no idea why they used SMGs, though.

[@sunburnteggandstuff]

Not really
