Legoville Team Formed!

Last night we had our first meeting to review and rehearse the pilot for a fresh new comedy series in the making!  The series is mostly in “stealth mode” for the most part but now that an official team has been formed, it won’t be long until the pilot goes live!  Right now we are banging out the rough edges on the pilot and it is being revised to cater to the voice-actors on the team.  The purpose is mostly for the pure fun of it– however –keeping in mind that money may eventually be made on this series, there may be copyright issues concerning the character presentation which is the main challenge at this point.  Although the formula for our episodes and the character development is taking off rather quickly, we are still trying to get our heads around how we will be producing the actual show.  Stop-motion Legos?  Will that become a copyright issue?  How much of the pieces must we change for this to not be an issue?  If we have an animator join our team, then we could revise enough of the visual structure that we could avoid copyright issues.  What about computerized animation?  Too difficult?  This would be ideal, second to using actual Legos.  And the name?  We’ve already been entertaining a nice list of alternatives, although using “Legoville” is also ideal.  After this episode has been revised, we will be meeting again to rehearse the new script– then, we should be ready for the voice-recording.  I’m excited about what our theme song will be like and how to orchestrate the credits, as well.  Over-all, there are a few issues at hand but the project, in general, is going to be a blast and there is always a solution to these unexpected bricks in the pegs.  Get it?  Bricks?  Ba-boom! Pishhh!

The Legend of Zelda meets The Office in Legend of Neil’s return for Season 3.

Episode 2 of Season 3 in the Legend of Neil series features a parody of The Office, a beloved television series by anyone who has a good sense of humor.  If you have ever played Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda, you will get these jokes.  If you have never played The Legend of Zelda, you can cheat having to spend countless hours building a time machine, going back to the late 80′s to mid-90′s buying gaming magazines (the internet wasn’t the world it is now, flourishing with game cheat information), and dying in-game a frustrating amount of times until you either beat the game or give up.   In this age you can pretend you did all of this after you Google it, read the Wikipedia article, and watch a few YouTube videos to quickly capture the experience in the most hurried of ways.  Then, when you are done spending your 5 minutes re-capturing several years of gaming experience, you can enjoy this video.

“Nerdy” has gone Hollywood and the geeks are pissed.

You don’t need to be a nerd to relate to a lot of the statements made in this rap, including how much the iPhone 4 sucks or wanting to see Jeffy’s mommy’s boobies from Family Circus.  However, most of the video is definitely targeted towards us geeks going into the deep dark rage boiling within every Warcraft and Karate Kid fan that despises what Hollywood is doing in it’s attempts to take geek-culture and popularize computer gaming and science fiction storylines in a market for non-geeks who enjoy stealing their lunch money and giving them swirlies while blasting Kanye West and Lil’ Wayne— No offense to any geeks out there currently blasting ganster rap while leveling up your pimped out WoW Blood Elf.

Web-series stars singing about gaming while dancing around Bollywood style top online musical charts. WTF?!

Apparently The Guilds online marketing research department knows where it’s at and the result is a bunch of web-series stars (specifically from this award winning web-series) dancing around Bollywood style singing in a seductive attempt to encourage online game-addiction.  WTF?!?!?!!?  It has topped online musical purchase charts and on August 3rd became the #1 pop music video in both the US and UK on iTunes, beating out Mtv nominated Katy Perry’s video “California Gurls“.  I’m both baffled and enamored.  It’s a beautiful mixture, but who knew everyone else would think so, too?

Beavis and Butt-head rumored to return by unreliable source of media news

MTV’s animated comedy series about 2 slacker teenage boys, a hit in the 90′s, might return.  It’s not 100% clear, based on this New York Post article, if this comedy series of 2 really annoying assholes making fun of stuff will really be resurrecting anytime soon– but either way, here is behind-the-scenes footage of Beavis and Butt-head during their filming of the movie Beavis and Butt-head Do America.

The Webventures of Justin and Alden: A Web-Series About Web-Series

Packed with every type of web-series reference and star, The Webventures of Justin and Alden is one non-stop continuous LOL to anyone who is a part of the underground cult-following fans who devour the ridiculous crap people make money off of online videos these days (like us). The entire web-series is pretty damned hilarious if you are part of the Streamy Awards audience, whether live or streaming.
