    Pro-Gamer Gauntlet: Court Ordered PSA

    Funniest episode yet!! Keeps getting better - the cutting on this one is superb; the opening of the PSA, where Racing says, "Sexual Harassment, what is it?" - [cut] "innn...appropriate touching?" - had me on the floor. Racing going from snarky to wide-eyed & confused under the verbal abuse of...

    Pro-Gamer Gauntlet: Pro-Gamer Gauntlet: Pilot

    I've gotten to see some of PgG's upcoming episodes, and so I can honestly say the Escapist is in for a treat. The charm stays intact, but the comedy gets tighter - and he's got big plans for the story arc. So really, this is no lightweight new series entry - it's gonna be boffo with extra...

    The 4th Annual The Escapist Film Festival Winners Announced

    *salute taken and returned* And no worries, I think it was rather cool of The Escapist to even give the Nin episode a shot, considering its subversive nature. It was like hurling a Molotov cocktail into their film fest - but instead of it crashing & exploding, they caught it one-handed and had...

    The Escapist Film Festival 2010: Nintendobo

    Ha! Reading that feedback makes the half-dozen rewrites worth it. His sudden swerve into proclaiming himself the new Jesus is a childhood riff on the WWJD trend: children would never bother with a "What Would Spiderman Do?" meme, they would cut out the middleman and simply proclaim...

    The Escapist Film Festival 2010: Nintendobo

    Mate, very cool of you to type all that & to have watched OIPLF with your synapses on full alert. I'd been hoping, someday somehow somewhen, that the perplexing flavor of OIPLF might click with a few rare folk, and it's a damn fine pleasure to meet one. *insert formal handshake here* And...

    The Escapist Film Festival 2010: Nintendobo

    Thanks mate, much appreciated. Funny you should mention that -- it actually was a bit of a problem: the students that flee the classroom eventually find out it was all a hoax several days later, but in the meantime they'd sometimes see me around campus, and give me that look like maybe they...

    The Escapist Film Festival 2010: Nintendobo

    Thanks mate. And the beeped F-bomb sound can't really function as censorship anymore, since we all know what word is being beeped. When I put the beep in, it's for expletive punctuation, an extra ! to the f-bomb -- so it isn't meant to hide the word, it's meant to make it less casual and a...

    The Escapist Film Festival 2010: Nintendobo

    Alas..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha2fHGEdCdk Finished it in June, and so far all the festivals have rejected it. Not even any "nice try" letters. But I suppose "dark side of puppetry" is probably a self-defeating category to pursue at the festival level; puppets create an...

    The Escapist Film Festival 2010: Nintendobo

    Decovo broke up when the co-founder went to work for MTV (true story). I started Lumalin with two other guys from school. Still good friends with MTV guy, but he's off in New York now, living the high life (relatively speaking).

    The Escapist Film Festival 2010: Nintendobo

    No worries, young Dobo is bound to return someday, somewhere, somehow. And I'll pass along the remake compliment to Yosh. And while I'm here at the keyboard, I just gotta say -- some of the kind words getting typed about this vid, I'm appreciative up to my eyebrows, very cool of you folks to...

    E. Honda's multi-turbo palm-punch thing. I'd blaze through the UFC in a year, then live off my energy drink endorsements.

    Poll: Does anyone still own a standard definition tv?

    Ha -- I was hanging on to a tube TV until JUST YESTERDAY -- picked up one of the Best Buy house brands, Dynex. The first thing you notice: surfaces (even faces) are suddenly made up of many, many colors, whereas the tube TV made them look like a single color. Watching Henson's The Storyteller...
