i want to respond... but shock, laughter, and shock are preventing anything profound.

 

[Donrad]

wow, i have way more respect for Chris Slack
oh... wait..

 

[TomNook]

So Russ, how "skilled" is Chris Slack?

 

[ckeymel]

Oh man that was goodness.

 

[Chimaera]

Truly a giggle worthy effort. Well done, guys!

 

[smallharmlesskitten]

That is a very manly voice there Russ.....And Chris....What in the name of the gummi-bears Were you thinking

 

[Knight Templar]

I shall create a video!

Don't worry I'm joking, nice video by the way.

 

[smallharmlesskitten]

I'm already working on one..... Something in the vein of Steve Irwin and David Attenborough.

 

[daedrick]

Im already working on my new master piece!

[Dommyboy]

I recently submitted my "master peice", *cough*. I had to cut back on some parts because of the time limit but otherwise its good to go. Unfortunately it doesn't contain any in the flesh actors but there are voice overs.

 

[Archetype]

Hahaha! That was so hilarious. It's interesting, I've never seen Russ making a fool of himself like that in The Escapist videos, including on the E3 Coverage series. Never the less, it was still funny; him tripping over... It looked as if it actually happened. Well acted?

And thanks for inspiring me to join.

 

[Russ Pitts]

Thanks! I've been dying to use my professional falling skills on an Escapist video. We did four takes and a practice. On concrete. Afterward I realized what an idiotic idea that was. But it looks great on film.

 

[sammyfreak]

Funny stuff, hope there are some good contributions this year again.

Yeah, I hear ya. I'm clearly better at falling on my face than anything else, so I need friends with skills to get anything done. And by "friends" I mean employees. But before I was all-powerful and lordly, I used friends.

To quote "I have friends I haven't even used, yet..."

 

[Anarchemitis]

I would so particiate, but I think it would take too much of my time to contribute on a regular basis.

 

[Logan Westbrook]

I'm definitely going to enter.

 

[Russ Pitts]

I would so particiate, but I think it would take too much of my time to contribute on a regular basis.

Even time is no longer a deterrent. We've thought of everything! Our contracts with video producers are fairly flexible, and some of our video contributors do this as a full-time job. (i.e. the money is decent)

Besides, the time commitment is only a problem if you win, and if you're THAT good, it shouldn't be a problem. Or, as we say, it's a high-class problem.

Seriously, if anyone is on the fence about contributing, go ahead and jump in. At the very least you'll get a chance to see how good you really are. You might surprise yourself.
