The Outforce Gag Reel

The Outforce officially turned 3 years old recently, so we decided to hand out a little birthday present. This is some previously unrelease footage of mr. Lawrence Mackrory, who plays the part of the tutorial drill sergeant in The Outforce. The movie is a standard gag reel with all the bleeps and bloopers that came blurting out during our late-night, hot-summer video capture sessions at the O3 Games Studios. Enjoy!
