The Recording Sessions.

NeN Admin — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 18:16:11 +0000

So I have a bunch of video from when we recorded Season 3 (I camcorded most of it), and have been going through some of it – and getting a laugh out of some of it. I had previously made some of it available – but I am thinking I am going to cut some of these together, and offer it up as one video. One of the greatest things about this was how much fun we had while we were recording the voices. There was a lot of laughing, banter, questioning of why this or that was happening…

Here’s some examples…

Sausage WHAT?

Clearing up some rumors…

Machinima and Awards and Drinks, Oh My!

As mentioned previously, after PC GAMER UK and our interview on Bioware’s website, we got nominated for Comedy in the 2005 Machinima Awards. We didn’t win, and I didn’t expect to – but it was still a very incredible night.

Especially having Paul thank Adam and I (among others) for making the trek out to New York in 2005….

When we submitted our final screening video, I wanted to make an intro to the Episodes (because we were going to show like Episodes 10 to 15 or something like that; something near the middle of the first season; so I wanted a way to warm the crowd up and catch them up with what to expect)… And here’s that video for the 2005 Machinima:

And here it is (recorded by me on my phone) as it was being screened:

I admit, when Adam mentioned it was open bar and they had Rum and Coke, I may have had a few (and couldn’t operate my camera later that night)…

And may have had some difficultly walking later…

Neverending Nights – Season 1 – Recap.

NeN Admin — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 02:33:34 +0000

When we were making the Season 2 DVD for NEVERENDING NIGHTS, I made a “Recap” video that would have played at the beginning – to essentially recap 21 episodes worth down to 10 minutes (and cover all the important things, and character bits that give you a feel for the characters) – in case someone new was watching the DVD and hadn’t seen Season 1. It never made it onto the DVD, so here it is for you to check out:

Neverending Daze – Episode 06.

NeN Admin — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 18:31:17 +0000

When ATARI was in the process of making MASK OF THE BETRAYER for the first NWN2 expansion, they once again contacted us and asked if we were interested in creating some promotional machinima pieces. Once again, we agreed. Sadly, with the release of NWN2, some of the characters we had used in the previous episodes of NEVERENDING DAZE were no longer available. So a new cast of characters was created; this time with only three (intended to be Adam, myself and Paul). However, Paul was unable to record, so I did the voice of both the halfling and the dwarf in this episode. The episode was made to show off various things available in the expansion (Wild Elves, some of the new classes that became available, etc), with the final being a Blue Dragon. Since the phrase “Don’t tase me bro!” was still popular (at the time) – I made a reference to it at the very end.

Neverending Daze – Episode 05.

The Neverwinter Nights Toolset had some amazing abilities that allowed anyone using it to create some very truly custom content – because everything in the game could be resized to the builder’s desire! This was the last one we did for Atari to promote the NWN2 game before it’s release. In this episode we wanted to show case how toolset builders could modify the size of ANYTHING in the game – from houses to cats! Even Thurg is modified by the toolset, if you hadn’t noticed.

Neverending Daze – Episode 03.

This is the only episode of Neverending Daze that ties in with the previous episode. This was originally intended, when the script was written, to be a BEHOLDER. However, when we got the pre-beta copies of the game, there were NO Beholders in the game (Much to our surprise!) – so we had to scramble and change a few things in the script. It was intended to show off the Beholder, ended up showing off a demon/devil.

Neverending Daze – Episode 02.

NeN Admin — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 16:09:28 +0000

As mentioned previously, when we made Neverending Daze, it was to promote NWN2 before it actually came out. We had been given Alpha & Beta copies of the game, as we worked on this. I got ahead of myself when I wrote this script – because the intended monster to show off (which is very well known in Forgotten Realms) was intended to be a Beholder. However, Beholders were not put into the Alpha & Beta versions of the NWN game (I am not even 100% sure if they ever made it into the NWN2 game, for that matter, now that I come to think of it!). So once I saw that, I had to make some adjustments to the actual script. The adventure was meant to show off what DUNGEONS looked like in NWN2.

When we got a deal with ATARI to do some NWN2 promotional videos before the game even came out, we jumped at the chase! We went up to Los Angeles, met up with the guys at Obsidian, got to get Alpha & Beta copies of the game (to make our videos with), even got Atari Sponsored E3 badges to meet with the Atari executives behind NWN2. It was an amazing experience. They wanted to hear our ideas and gave us free reign to do what we wanted. We wanted to use each episode to show case something about the game (whether it was emotes, or races, or structures, etc) – and well, here’s the first episode we made…

Merry Christmas! (From Peter and Grayson!)
