The First Rule
April 6th, 2011

Posted by Matt

Welcome my students. Clear your minds, and remember, there is only one rule… you must click here to see the video.

Hey everyone. Sorry about the late update this week, things have been kinda crazy. This week’s video comes to you courtesy of Paul, in keeping with his long-standing tradition of writing scripts based on digging out the absurdity in the most minute details of everyday situations. We shot this video last weekend in Beacon Hill Park, not far from where we previously shot Cursing. Thankfully the weather has warmed up considerably, but it was windy as heck, and threatening to rain throughout the entire shoot. No Peacocks in shot this time, but at one time we did get surrounded by a flock of six or so that seemed to be curious as to what we were doing.

Unskippable this week was Front Mission: Evolved, you can watch that here.

Cheers!

After having dispatched a meal, I went ashore, and found no habitation save a single forum, and that without an occupant; we had no doubt that the people had fled in terror at our approach, as the message board was completely furnished with threads.

This week’s video is up. Venture forth into the great unknown, and watch.

This week’s video heavily features our good friend Cam, a fellow whose nobility and class we felt suited that of a worldly explorer. Also, he was around, so that helps. He’s appeared previously in ENN, but I believe this is his debut performance in the core LoadingReadyRun video series. We do hope to have Cam back to appear in future videos, though – he knocks his roles out of the park.

This video was shot over a period of more than a week, and continued our fine tradition of re-shooting scenes on account of audio problems. Originally, James and I played the two roles in the opening scene, having shot on a park bench near the office. We came to discover, subsequently, that the mic hadn’t been plugged into the camera, and the only thing that came through audibly was Graham’s “Ok!, Awesome!” the he spoke directly into the on-board mic as he wrapped the shot. So, instead of the career-defining performances of James Turner and yours truly, you get Jer and Paul.

Unskippable this week was Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. You can find that here.

Cheers, everyone!

This week’s video is live, and it’s a shiny new commodoreHUSTLE. Check it out by clicking right… here.

Ha! Got you! Seriously though you can find it here.

This episode of commodoreHUSTLE retells the true story of how Jer made Alex’s (and to a lesser extent everyone else’s) life miserable for a period of weeks surrounding Desert Bus for Hope, and the ultimate retribution Alex finally wrought upon him. There’s no describing the vileness of club soda, it’s something one has to experience for themselves. It actually is just fizzy water and baking soda, and that’s exactly what it tastes like, but worse, by nature of it’s being some unholy mixture of the two. Truly, it is the worst of all drinks. Go try one sometime. Then cry yourself to sleep.

Unskippable this week was R.U.S.E. You can check that here.

Heh.

In a somewhat ironic twist, a video about making sure everything happens on time went up grievously late today. Thankfully, it’s up now.

This week’s video was filmed in the basement of the VEC. Yes, the same basement in which we filmed all of daily drop. The Same VEC in which we will be holding our annual screening this weekend! (see below). A big thanks to the VEC and it’s staff by the way, they do a great job of supporting the local arts and comedy scene. A Paul written video, I suspect the genesis of this idea largely speaks for itself. Enjoy.

Unskippable this week was Red Dead Redemption (not the zombie version though, sorry). You can check that out here.

Remember, also that today is the last day to pre-order your “Never Forget” tee-shirt. There’s only a few hours left, don’t miss out!

And finally, if you live in the Victoria, Vancouver, or coastal BC area, our screening is on this coming Sunday! And it’s free admission! Hope you can make it, we’d love to see you there!

Reality Tear

On today’s episode, what will happen? This is must-see TV, tune in and find out!

And now a word from our sponsor. (Otherwise known as Graham, and really more a writer, in this case, than a sponsor, but- listen, I’m working with a theme here, just go with it. -m)

The video started out because Kathleen made an offhand comment about using our empty apartment for a video, since we’d be moving in the day after shooting.

Now, we’d already done a video about Apartment Hunting, a video just straight-up about Moving Out, and a reality show about a big empty House (of the Dead), so I was trying to think of other uses for empty space.

For some reason I thought of the complete opposite, and came across the idea to do something about Hoarders. From a the idea of a Hoarder with no actual mess came the idea that it was all a prank, and from there the subsequent reality shows just kept tumbling out.

For those keeping score it goes: Hoarders, Punk’d, Intervention, The Bachelor, American Idol (with a Jersey Shore reference in the stinger for “good” measure).

Hope you like it!

Unskippable this week was Fable III. You can catch that one here.

And never forget, our ‘Never Forget’ shirt is available in pre-orders now!

Cheers!
