Oddest of the Odd Releases Fortnite: The Movie


Are you ready for Fortnite: The Movie?  Read on.

Fortnite Season 5 is underway and countless players across the world are diving into the hottest battle royale game around, hoping to beat out 99 other players to claim Victory Royale! To celebrate the rapid success and popularity of Fortnite, the YouTube filmmaker group Oddest of the Odd has created FORTNITE: The Movie, celebrating Epic Game's colorful, zany, and free game. 

Oddest of the Odd pulled all its resources together to create one of the best live-action recreations of Fortnite to date. Using visuals and sounds from the game, FORTNITE: The Movie follows a group of battle royale participants dropping from the party bus and fighting to the death. But this isn't just a budget effort, Oddest of the Odd produced a nearly 15-minute short film packed with jokes and references that cover nearly every aspect of the Fortnite community. 

The movie focuses on two key characters, a man who has purchased Fortnite's Battle Pass and another whose mom refuses to buy him the Battle Pass. Players who purchase the Battle Pass in Fortnite have exclusive access to challenges and unlockable cosmetic skins. In the film, the experienced player wearing an astronaut outfit is constantly being held back by his "partner," who is always shot down. Fortnite fans will see other popular outfits and items throughout FORTNITE: The Movie. 

Despite the quality of the movie, Oddest of the Odd says it makes no money doing the film but still wants to make a difference. The company is using the popularity of Fortnite and the game's strong community to get the attention of gamers. Oddest of the Odd has started a GoFundMe page with the goal of reaching $50,000 where all the proceeds will go straight to the Child's Play Charity, an organization that donates games, toys, and more to children's hospitals around the world. 

"We’re using our film as a way to get peoples' attention to serious matters. Children in hospitals are so unfortunate and don’t get to enjoy life like most children are suppose to," says Oddest of the Odd's Courtlan Gordon on the GoFundMe page. "Video games are a great escape from whatever current situation they're in. We believe that raising money to help fund children’s hospitals will allow certain kids to feel normal and give them that break from reality that they deserve. We really hope everyone can help out this great cause. It means a lot to us and we want to show people that film can bring more to this world than just pure entertainment." 

Oddest of the Odd is also celebrating the release of FORTNITE: The Movie by giving away 2,800 V-Bucks, the premium currency in Fortnite used to buy Battle Passes and cosmetic items, and a Fortnite t-shirt. To enter the giveaway, viewers simply have to repost the video on any social media using the hashtag #OddestOfTheOdd. 

While FORTNITE: The Movie, hits many of the notes of the gaming phenomenon, it's important to know it is not related to a Fortnite television show that was rumored to be in the works. Recently, a Disney XD parody account tweeted that Fortnite: The TV Show would premiere on August 12, 2019. Many thought the tweet came from the real Disney XD account and the rumor gained enough traction and retweets that Epic Game's Nick Chester took to Twitter to say that the rumors were completely false.  

However, with the rising popularity of Fortnite, anything is possible for the game. Will a television show or feature film come to light? Who knows. For the time being, Oddest of the Odd's FORTNITE: The Movie is an entertaining look at what could be.

Haymaker: VR Brawling, Up Close - Authentic, physics‑first combat that turns your body into the controller. (Game Review)

Haymaker is a physics‑first VR brawler in active Early Access that prioritizes authentic, body‑driven melee and high replayability. Its core systems are already playable: weighty, physics‑based hand interactions for grabbing, grappling, and striking; gesture‑driven kicks and knees that reward full‑body motion; adaptive AI that reads and reacts to the battlefield; and sandbox encounters that encourage improvisation with props and environment. Many systems remain in prototype; levels, progression loops, and some modes are still being shaped, but the mechanical foundation is solid and satisfying. The studio is deliberately using Early Access as a development lab: player feedback will guide tuning, bug fixes, and content expansion, so the game you play now is a promising glimpse of a more polished, content‑rich brawler to come. Core systems and combat • Physics‑driven hands : Interactions are governed by a weight‑aware physics model that responds to force, angle, and momentum; so grabs, h...

Letter Lost: Postmarked Secrets - A cozy post office that hides rules and a deeper mystery. (Demo Preview)

Letter Lost drops you into the Kharnym Isle Post Office as its sole employee, tasked with the deceptively simple work of stamping, sorting, and dispatching the island’s mail. On the surface it’s a cozy workplace sim; polite locals, daily pay, and mandatory room and board that removes the hassle of commuting, but the office’s cheery routine is threaded with odd rules and quiet contradictions that quickly make the ordinary feel off‑kilter. What begins as a satisfying loop of weighing parcels and matching stamps soon becomes a game of attention: letters hide hints, patrons’ small talk slips into unsettling confessions, and management’s insistence that you never leave the premises reads less like policy and more like a warning. The demo covers your first four days on the job, teaching the systems while nudging you toward choices, obey protocol and keep the peace, or pry at the seams and uncover the post office’s darker purpose. Either way, those first shifts are a careful, uncanny invitat...

550 Geese Killed at the Request of an HOA — And the Question We Can’t Ignore

In Madison, Alabama, more than 550 geese were captured and killed in a single coordinated operation carried out by USDA Wildlife Services at the request of a homeowners association. What was described as a “population control effort” has ignited a deeper and far more uncomfortable conversation: When did wildlife become something we simply remove when it becomes inconvenient? According to reports from the Heritage Plantation HOA, the geese population had grown to levels they claimed were “five times” what was considered sustainable for the area. The association said it had spent years attempting non-lethal methods, including deterrents and egg management strategies, before ultimately requesting a full-scale cull approved under federal wildlife guidelines. Nine USDA agents carried out the operation. Within a single night, hundreds of birds that had been living, nesting, and raising young in the community were gone. The HOA cited concerns about sanitation, water quality, and public health...
