I’d like to thank everyone for the encouraging words regarding our announcement about the end of TLW after this season (and an awesome movie). We’ve been suspecting that this might go down for a couple of months, but it only became set in stone recently. It’s good to have it out in the open, and even better when nobody goes ballistic and throws things at us. You know, like e-rocks.

Since the questions are rolling in, I wanted to clarify a few things:

• Daniel is not leaving yet. He actually won’t be gone for about 5 months or so. In that time our goal is to finish the season, party like man-imals, and then make a sweet movie. We don’t know how long the movie will be, minutes-wise.
• The show is not over yet. We’re still going to do the second half of the season. For those of you wondering, it will be just a bit shorter than last season. 
• Without Daniel, we won’t be continuing Web Zeroes regularly. Since he’s kind of in it and also the director, there’s no way it could happen. We’d still like to do an episode or two before he goes, and there might be an occasional episode if he comes in town for a weekend, but that’s it.
• Nick and I will keep making stuff after TLW is over, but we’re not replacing one crazy big workload for another crazy big workload. Whatever we work on next (be it G.R.I.E.F. or one of our other ideas), it won’t be as regular or as big as The Leet World.

Anything not answered there is something we don’t know the answers to or can’t really address at this point. There’s a lot that we still don’t know, but I thought I’d do my best to answer the things we could. 

Episode 8 will be out at some point this week. I’m excited to start this half of the season. It’s seriously going to be wild.

Well, here’s Episode 3 of Web Zeroes, MMO Woes, for your viewing pleasure. We actually had this thing filmed about a month ago, but we’ve been holding off to space out our content a little better. In case you’re wondering, Web Zeroes episodes take much less time to make than TLW episodes.

Anywho, watch it, enjoy it, comment. What’s it about? Well, there are orcs, addicts and broken things. That pretty much sums it up. I think it’s our best yet, and worthy of many fine lulz and even, dare I say, fist bumps.

Also, TLW Season 2, Episode 4 is out this coming week at some point. Web Zeroes episode is after the jump!

EDIT: There was a problem with the video, but it should be playing fine now.

We’re kind of pumped. Web Zeroes, Episode 3 comes out this weekend and we’re very proud of how it’s turned out. I think it’s the best episode yet, for sure. Definitely turning into more of what we wanted the show to be.

I’ve got a new GamerSushi article, 7 Most Ridiculous Video Game Economies. I like it. It talks about Counter-Strike: Source and Sim City. What more could you want?

Also, here’s a screenshot of something I’m working on. It’s a night version of the TLW House.

Kinda cool. That is all.

The Leet World Season 2, Episode Three should be out some time next week. I know some of you are going a little rabid waiting for it, so thanks for being patient. Basically, because of the holidays and such, we lost a few weekends of filming, which is when most of the work goes into production.

However, we’re all good now. Well, I am. Daniel is still his evil self, with his plots and schemes.

Also, Web Zeroes Episode 3 should be out the week following that. This episode really gets into the stuff we’ve been dying to get to, which is just the three geeks doing their thing. It’s even got orcs, friend requests and mana.

In other news we’ve got a sweet new feature over at GamerSushi, 7 Things a Gamer Should Never Admit. Check it out!

And here’s a fun poll for you dudes to sound off about. Remember, if you’re having trouble logging in, just refresh. Tell us your thoughts!

The holidays are almost over, and I am saddened that I will lose much gaming time. Been playing Prince of Persia, Fable II, The Force Unleashed, etc. But alas, the real world beckons yet again.

A bit ago, I mentioned the Streamys, which are still accepting votes/nominations. Feel free to submit Web Zeroes for the comedic categories, if you feel inclined to do so. Also, Hawty McBloggy is running a contest called the “Best of Halo Awards” for notable Halo machinima from the past year, and Bag Boy has been nominated! There are some other greats on the list as well, so browse, watch and vote to your liking.

I think it’s about time you saw the first glimpse of Episode 3 of Season 2 of The Leet World. In true Counter-Strike:Source fashion, our dudes are battling it out in Inferno. We worked hard this weekend filming, and I’m excited about the results. Here are some screenies:

Enjoy.

Yesterday, Smooth Few Films (Jace, Jeff, Nick, Daniel and myself) got together as a whole for the first time since The Leet World started. In fact, Jace and Jeff had never even met one another until then. We gorged out on mexican food and acted fat together, and it was an explosion of awesome. Much like Voltron.

In other news, I wanted to remind everyone that The Leet World Season One Soundtrack is still available for purchase, and is still ridiculously badass. Definitely a good way to spend some of that Christmas money. Pre-paid credit cards ftw.

Also, I wanted to let you guys know about the Streamys, awards for live-action web shows. If you would like to, we would dig it if you guys nominated Web Zeroes for any category that you think it fits. This will definitely help us get the word out about our show. Click here to nominate for the Streamys!

EDIT: Thanks to you guys who have voted! Remember, if you do cast a vote, cast it for Web Zeroes!

Like ninjas, we plan on giving some long overdue extra content in the next few weeks. I know that some of you are longing for a podcast, and believe me, we have been too. It was sad for us that we never got to record a season finale podcast to wrap up and tell tales of that huge finale and what went into it. But soon, you’ll be hearing a lot of that stuff.

Speaking of extras, check out our new feature at GamerSushi, Shattered Save Slots, where we tackle some of our favorite games. This week is Final Fantasy VII.

Also, outtakes are on the way. There’s some pretty good stuff from the first couple of episodes, and possibly even more Cortez Cardinal: Ace Attorney in there as well.

Here are some screenshots from Episode 3 of Web Zeroes. We got some great footage last weekend. I think this is going to be a pretty solid episode.

You know what else is full of ninjas? Christmas. Who knew it was next week? It came like a thief in the shadows. Next time, I’ll be ready.

And here is our first Web Zeroes short, “Happy Pottermas”. While the predicament depicted in this scene is outlandish, the underlying problem is not. Nick and I in particular are sad that there is indeed no Harry Potter movie coming to theaters this Christmas. It’s just one of those staples now, you know?

Anywho, we hope you enjoy it. We like it alot. Do us a favor and click here to Digg it.

Oh, and TLW Episode 2 is coming early next week!

So if you haven’t guessed already, G.R.I.E.F. is on hold indefinitely. Now that we’re working hard on Web Zeroes and The Leet World, adding one more thing into the mix is going to bring down the quality of all of the projects. We are but mere men after all, though I am somewhere close to troll-ish in nature.

We’ve filmed part of the first episode, but it’s a very ambitious endeavor, so we’re just going to stick it on the backburner until we find some time for it. Who knows, maybe our new TLW method rocks our socks off and we have all kinds of free time to make Halo 3 machinima in addition to our other stuff. And play video games.

We’re also hard at work on Episode 3 of The Leet World, filming and doing all kinds of Counter-Strike things. Episode 2 is coming sometime in the next week, and I think you dudes will enjoy it. Web Zeroes short in the next few days.

Prepare for lulz in 3…2…

What’s this? Oh, it’s a package. What’s inside? Lulz.

Here are the outtakes from Episode 2 of Web Zeroes. Typically, we have the hardest times with the funniest scenes, or the scenes that actually require some kind of acting. You’ll notice that Nick and Daniel’s “Digg” scene took quite a bit of laughter negotiation, and I even managed to mess it up by smiling off camera during a take or two. Go me.

A Web Zeroes short will be out sometime next week, and we’re all pretty excited about it. It’s holiday related (sort of), so that’s always a good thing. Hope you enjoy watching the beard, the Yoda doll that I treat like a baby, and all of the goof-ups.

Also, I’ve been playing a lot of Left 4 Dead lately. Is it bad that I go to sleep at night thinking of Infected versus tactics?
