X-treme XP

Ross — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 03:04:37 +0000

Sport Drinks today are weak. They don’t provide the extreme amounts of energy gamers need. So, XTREME XP is there to help YOU. How? It provides not only an incredible energy boost, it actually GIVES you EXPERIENCE POINTS. Can you imagine leveling up with a sixpack of Xtreme XP instead of having to kill kobolds for six hours?

The Joys of War

Ross — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 05:12:49 +0000

A comparison of medieval warfare and its most recent interpretation, nerds hitting each other with boffer weapons. Yeah. Narrated by Nathan Shelton and shot by Juard Van Dijkhorst. Edited by Ross Payton.

“My heart is filled with gladness when I see
Strong castles besieged, stockades broken and overwhelmed,
Many vassals struck down,
Horses of the dead and wounded roving at random.
And when battle is joined, let all men of good lineage
Think of naught but the breaking of heads and arms,
For it is better to die than be vanquished and live. . . .
I tell you I have no such joy as when I hear the shout
‘On! On!’ from both sides and the neighing of riderless steeds,
And groans of ‘Help me! Help me!’
And when I see both great and small
Fall in the ditches and on the grass
And see the dead transfixed by spear shafts!
Lords, mortgage your domains, castles, cities,
But never give up war!”
–Bertrand de Born, French aristocrat and troubadour

Outtakes from Episode 1. Geeks arguing and calling each other douche bags. Hilarious even if you’ve never game.

In a world of dark conspiracies and monsters, the most daunting challenge is…creating a character to play the game. Welcome to Angst & Katanas, a humorous look at horror games and the people who play them. In this first episode, a newbie makes a character, a badass vampire hunter, while the game master tries to keep his power fantasies in check.
