I did not shoot the deputy.

I think the First Cut thing was a bit lame. We were actually ahead of most of the videos in terms of positive comments (whatever that means), until the First Cut was announced, at which point all interest in any other videos ceased. Nobody bothered turning from the first page. You might as well...

So... when are the winners announced?

Man, that really sucks. I think it's important to stay positive, though. Is there a way you could do both? Like, try the surgery, and if it doesn't really help, it might at least make your heart deteriorate to the point where you bump to the top of the waiting list? That's what I'd do...

First Cut really killed any interest in anything else. We were way ahead in terms of comments prior to that announcement. Then nobody seemed to bother watching anything else, us included. I blame Graham Stark.

For the trailer, we mostly wanted to showcase the character dynamic and style of humour. Each episode would have a more cohesive narrative: we'll strike a balance between the spontaneous humour and ad-libbing of a "let's play", with some scripted segments where we review specific aspects of the...

"Laura" Croft? Do you even play videogames? Heh, totally pwned that guy.

I find playing as a female character in an MMORPG, people are FAR more willing to help you out with quests, answer questions, and give you free stuff. Even when you dodge the question of "are you really a girl?" ... It's about the strategic advantage! Don't judge me!

The setting is interesting. It's like a surreal meta-world where reality and gaming collide together. A bit like Scott Pilgrim, except the boundaries of reality are even more blurred. Example: the IRL patching scene. Bit of a mindfuck when you think on it... Anyway, if we're beaten, hope it's...

That's pretty much what we were going for. We had a few gags about how we were recording with a crappy iPod camera, but we scrapped most of them due to time constraints (there's tonnes of funny clips we couldn't fit into the trailer due to them being over 30 seconds in length). The general...

Damn, I knew we shouldn't have ripped on Graham in our video [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/the-escapist-film-festival-2010/2271-Josh-Chad-Cooperators]. At least we toned it down a bit from the original cut...

I look cooler than you with that dodgy ginger beard.

Same. They seemed to just forget about the whole thumbnail thing in the end. I posted ours into the thread body [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/6.242509-The-Escapist-Film-Festival-2010-Josh-Chad-Cooperators]

Yeah, that is most definitely true. The good thing about this show is that it requires almost no budget, so if we get paid we can spend the money on screencap software and other bells and whistles. Anyway, you REALLY need to listen to the audio.

Lame, they didn't use our thumbnail:
