Discount Deities
February 14th, 2011

D’y’all ever find yerselves in need a’ some laughs, but a little short on funds? Well, git on over to The Escapist, ‘cuz we’re servin’ ’em up at steeply discounted prices!

This was a tremendously fun video to shoot, and not just because it was straightforward and quick. Things started off well when Graham and Kathleen proceeded to buy out the entire Snuggie supply of a local store and got questioned as to why they would be doiong something so ridiculous by a passerby. We also had both Bill and Morgan on set for the shooting of this bit, which is a rare event, but always enjoyed. Hilariously, Morgan had barely slept the night before shooting, and so most of his time (on and off camera) was actually spent napping. In retrospect, I suppose we didn’t really get to interact with him much as a result.

Unskippable this week was Dead Rising 2: Part 2. Check it out here.

Also, finally, a reminder that there will be no ENN this week (or in any future weeks), owing to the fact that it is being discontinued. You’ll find details in our blog post here.

Cheers!

Installation Anxiety 2010

This week’s video is here! Go check it out!

Naturally, this is a remake of this video. (which you may, or may not, have seen before).

In the forum thread on this video, James has answered some questions you may have about this video, which I have re-posted below:

Why did we remake this?
As most of you know, we were invited to w00tstock this year to showcase some of our videos. We decided that Installation Anxiety was a great video and could play really well with that type of audience (It totally did by the way). But we quickly realized that while it was a solid video, its production values no longer reflect what we are capable of making. So we decided to re-shoot it. Once w00tstock was over, we discussed using it as one of our regular weekly updates. After several talks we decided to go for it for it. We know there will be a couple people that won’t agree, but we are proud of the remake and wanted to showcase it.

Are you going to remake more?
Who knows. It won’t become a regular thing, so for those who think we copped out this week, don’t worry. It won’t happen again anytime soon. Brand new, totally original content returns next week, and the week after that, and the week after that, and the week after that. After that I can’t make any promises as we haven’t planned that far ahead.

I’d like to amend to that that there are a few videos in our back catalog that we have definitely considered remaking in the past, and we may still do so in the future. But this is certainly not going to become a regular thing, with this video we simply wanted to give it a try and see how it worked.
