College Saga

Once upon a time, when Earth was still a beautiful place, an evil force came to turn all living things into Vegetarians.

''Three students from suburban Massachusetts would step up against this catastrophe... to end Vegetarian Supremacy.''

An amateur film made by Babson College students and released on the Internet. The entire plot is a send-up of Japanese RPGs (such as Final Fantasy), complete with random battles, pop-up text and extras walking back and forth along the same path. The original upload can be found here.

The series was recently re-released in HD (480p) on the same YouTube channel.
