Pete Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 pocthesaint aka The Saint has released his team's epic cinematic experience on an unsuspecting public. Like a terror attack in the dead of night, he brings you X-COM The Movie! A valiant effort to capture the spirit of X-COM has been made and this 50-odd minute documentary/mockumentary/concept/pre-visualisation/really-cool-thing is the result. Anywho, if you're on broadband or are a very patient 56k'er, head to the above link to check it out on one of the links in the above thread as it's well worth it for the amusement factor alone Again, hats off to The Saint and his fine crew for their wonderful effects-laden masterpiece.

pocthesaint Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 thanks for the front page love once again pete!!! heres a link to all the movies and how to dload themhttps://www.whoisjohnnebthos.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=400 also I've noticed on the bit-torrent trackers that there's still people trying to dload... But theres no seeds... So if some of you peeps who have everything downloaded primarily the 700 meg version of "This is X-COM" Please open up your bit-torrent and start seeding again... Thanks again to X-COM Communities for all your support!!! -SAINT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecyke Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 I'm about 75% through the high quality large version but cant get anything more. Is the tracker ok? All i get are "cant connects" and "bad data". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocthesaint Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 I was afraid this was going to happen... The tracker has failed... But there is a backup =] go here and restart... https://www.torrentbox.com/torrents-browse.php?page=2 hope that works for ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecyke Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 eXcellent mate, thats working nicely. My download resumed where the other left off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puasonen Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Blah, when I start downloading, it downloads a 1kb size of baggage. Should be 770mb so it's not working.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detonate Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Forgive my ignorance, chaps, but how did the movie/trailers come about? What's the story behind them, and how do you plan your storyboards, etc? Just wondering if perhaps you would be open to comment or external influences? :-) Cheers chaps, Detonate ...suddenly yearning deeply for an X-COM fix. (incidentally, I occasionally pester Dave into the idea of an X-COM graphic novel, but so far no luck....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecyke Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 Bloody hell its Detonate! Give me a shout mate if you want me to post you this stuff (cant remember if you have broadband etc).There is no movie as such, the guys gave it a go before realising how mental it would be to do, and 2 years later made this mockumentary about their efforts. I've only flicked through it so far but I've been impressed, looks like a lot of work went into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocthesaint Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Well Im proud to say.... That "This is X-COM..." has been dloaded well over 300 times since its release on 6/9/04 Keep spreading the word and seeding when you can!!! thanks to all helped!!! -SAINT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocthesaint Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 If you guys can please hold off on sending this thing around the world in 80 days and such =] I shall let you in on a wonderful little something, something... =] Im working on getting the liencses for the music and the X-COM name itself so we can release a "This is X-COM" DVD with all the trailers, teaser, improved and higher quaility version of the documentary with deleted scenes and MORE buffoonery... And Commentary too boot =] So just keep your pants on... Were working on it =] Because this would be a far far better thing to have than just a CD with the documentary on it... Plus it puts a little cash in our pocket for our insane amount of work we put into this.... =] I'll keep you well posted on the progress... Much love-SAINT PS: Were well over 700 dloads of the 700 meg version =] W00T! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecyke Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Interesting - what stage are you at in attempting to use these properties? Do you have an ongoing dialogue with anyone who currently has a say in the use of the properties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXDarrienX Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Interesting - what stage are you at in attempting to use these properties? Do you have an ongoing dialogue with anyone who currently has a say in the use of the properties?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know this topic is old and all is there anyway to get it if your firewall owned by a campus is turned off to download these movies? I can get some p2p clients working but torrents are completely blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Please, don't ask the same question in two different threads. One is enough. It's been over a year since the release of the documentory (which is about an X-Com movie that was never made, not the actual game itself). It doesn't seem the torrents are active now. No, I can't seed for you, because I didn't have enough net access at the time to download the files, either. Saint noted that the same filenames were available on Kazaa, but I'm not sure if those peer networks are operational at this time (let alone the files you're looking for). A web server was created, however, it's no longer available. The best place to ask about it is here: https://www.whoisjohnnebthos.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illegal youth Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 hey, i realize this is old... but might as well give it a shot: can anyone out there seed this thing? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 I think I downloaded it. Not sure if I deleted it after watching it and noting that it was just a string of interviews and no actual movie.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illegal youth Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 hmmm.... so it's lame and i shouldn't bother then? i'm at 9.1%... after days of leaving azureus up. if i don't catch a seed in a day or so i'll just give up. thanks for trying.

Pete Posted August 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 It's by no means lame and actually quite amusing, but extremely difficult to get hold of. If only I could remember the link to the developer's website - perhaps someone else could chip in with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Check a few posts up. BB provides a link. I haven't been able to access the movies part, and the site itself seems to have undergone major changes since the last time I visited it. No graphics anymore and all that's left is a few links at the bottom. - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illegal youth Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 yeah i've been to that link. no files. the torrent file i d/led from torrentbox is all i could find. maybe i'll leave it up a bit longer. i was hoping to get a good laugh outta this movie.

pocthesaint Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Hey guys... this is definately a necro post... but it is worth while to post this here... In 2004 we attempted X-COM the movie... and we failed... we made a mockmentary that was horrible, mind you... that basically just made fun of ourselves for attempting the film... Also... due the huge popularity of "This is X-COM"... We were offically asked to remove the "X-COM trailer" and "This is X-COM" from our hosting server... because it was literally CRASHING THE SERVERS from so many hits... hahaha! but anyways... JNP is all grown up now... and were getting our crap together... So... yup... were going to give it another try here in a few years... join the forum for more updates... www.thejnp.com/newforum https://www.whoisjohnnebthos.com/jnpspam/xcom.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Well, it's possible we can host the old movie here waiting for the new one. We have quite a bit of bandwidth. That being said, looking forwards to the next one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
