The Messenjah Cometh

02:38 PM - June 6, 2008 by Steve_OS

Jeremy Hartman has interviewed popular OS Forum member "MessenjahMatt" for his new article entitled The Messenjah Cometh. MessenjahMatt turns footage captured from NBA 2K8 into videos that recreate real life events. His work is considered to be some of the best fan inspired content ever created.

We are lucky enough to have three of MessenjahMatt's videos available in our video section.

I think I saw these when he first created them.. simply the best re-creations I've ever seen in a video game. Awesome

His "Where ____ Happens" is my favorite.

Ha... awesome stuff. How many takes did it take before you got the Jordan "shrug his shoulders" animation in the first trailer? I didn't even know it was in the game.

Props Matt. Hopefully 2K fixes up the cap next year for you roster dudes. I loved the vids, especially the Portland one, but the red faces always cracked me up.

Matt, you do realize this means you have to donate, right?

# 12 Naterob3 @ 06/06/08 11:51 PM

Mann..you know just seeing that makes you realize how much more Kobe gota do to even be mentioned with 23.... and how did he get that 96 fathers day shot of Mike on the ground with the ball.. niceeee!

Big thanks to Matt for his willingness to do the interview and share his videos. Just a classy guy! Although, I'm still waiting to see if he can do a clip from the old Lakers-Celtics days! And don't pretend you don't have a clue what I'm talking about Matt! They've only shown Magic's baby hook shot at the Garden about 100 times this week!

Again, a big thanks to Matt and his hard work!

hehe yeah, Gotta have the short shorts though or it just feels too wrong. "The Shot" was a different story, because I couldn't help but make it since it had that celebration in the game. Still, the long shorts bug me in that video ha

These videos are breath-taking, I can't imagine the work that MM must have put into these. Coming from a Bulls fan myself who was too young to actually live these great moments in Bulls history, I am glad I get to see them on one of my favorite games, NBA 2k8.
