Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of. And unto this, our video, destined to wear the jeweled crown of hilarity upon a troubled brow.
I really don’t have a great deal to report about this video, as it was about as straightforward to shoot as it looks, once we got the props, costumes, and location together. This video was written by Graham and Kathleen, and when the script got a good laugh from the crew upon first reading, we knew it had to be done. If nothing else, it gave us a chance to make use of the nifty chinese prop-sword we got at Garagellenium a couple weeks ago!
Enjoy!
UPDATE: so, apparently in a coincidence of rather cosmic proportions, this apparently turned up on the net this week as well:
Someone was stalking you. D:
But somehow it just meshes together

Wasn’t there someone who used to frequent the forums under the guise of Conan, commenting on posts in character… that was great.

I loved the video, but I think it would’ve been so much more hilarious if, at the end after credits, Graham and Paul turned away from the door and said “we’ll put him down as a ‘maybe’ “.

Loved the callback to Door to door, it must be harder that ever to service fans while also having the joke stand by itself now that you’re on the escapist (but you did it perfectly none-the-less).
Also, I see that the tag “maple sugar pie” is on the video… is that going to become a thing?

You could also question if Crom, sword or Conan is going to become a thing too.

Loved the callback to Door to door…and Yes, warps, I have to agree. “We’ll put him down as a maybe” would’ve just rocked.
Maybe I’m just dense today, but why was Jeremy putting on goggles?

That was my best friend Adam! He really likes the Conan movies! I hope he likes this video.
