They’re back! Everyone’s favorite mercenaries Kane & Crowthorne ride again this week’s video.
I hope you don’t mind if I skip the blurb about the video this week, but we have something really cool and important to tell you about: The Daily Drop.
Starting on Thursday of this week, and continuing every single day thereafter, we’ll be posting short videos of something being dropped from ten feet filmed on a professional-grade high-speed camera. That means tons and tons of items meeting their ends in super slow-motion and glorious HD. All of the crew (and Graham especially) are huge fans of the spectacular visuals that result from the violent destruction of day to day items played back ultra-slowly, so when the chance to give this series a whirl came up we jumped at it. Most of the crew has spent the last week pulling 14 hour days to get all the content we need for this shot (we’re renting the camera, those things cost as much as a new car to buy) so we really hope you enjoy the videos as much as we do. They’re simple fun, but man are they fun.
Check out the trailer here, and remember to check the escapist on Thursday when the first item hits the floor.
Unskippable this week was “Warhammer Battle March”, a game I’d actually never heard of before today. You can watch that update here.
Cheers!

I’m glad to see the airsoft gun I donated is being used… as a phone.

The 7th is my 19th birthday, which means I’m finally legal. Here’s to hoping it’s a bottle of booze, or a cake, or a pie!

I like thinking of excuse as to why anyone needs a large scop on their pump shotgun.
(if your wondering what I’m talking about, check out Merc Solutions pic above and it’s a gun on the back wall.

Now let’s see Matt’s third Xbox ACTUALLY die in a ten foot drop.

Dropping an xbox is okay, but for continuity you really should drop…
THREE PS3s!

You know what, describing this to people as “they’re gonna drop things in slow motion” makes it sound really boring. But man, I can’t wait to watch ya’ll drop things in slow motion!
