Bearing Gifts

Just a quick little update for you guys. Things are going well, and it seems that lots of people are coming to check out Episode Three, which is awesome (scroll down for it if that’s why you’re here).

Also, we’ve recently been listed as a “featured series” on Machinima.com along with other notable entries such as RedvsBlue, Pathfinders, and Civil Protection, so be sure and check it out! And, just like the title of this post indicates, I have a little present: Episode Two and Three audio outtakes.

Three’s a Crowd

So it’s pretty crazy to us that we’re already arriving at our third installment, but here we are. Now presenting Episode Three, “Set Up Us The Bomb”. We’re very pumped about this episode, and we think you’ll see why once you watch it. All of the versions can be found from the episodes page, or you can check out the flash version right here.

Remember to spread the word about The Leet World!

Tragedy on the Set!

Late breaking news straight from cs_militia…

Tragedy struck the set of The Leet World today as cameraman Dermot McDermot was shot and killed by former Terrorist leader Cortez Emilio Alejandro Jesus Cardinal. Details are being withheld until the authorities have notified the McDermot family, but an anonymous eyewitness states that while the shooting was unintentional, it was certainly preventable. When asked for further comment, The Leet World contestant simply known as “Cortez” had this to say:

“Bitch should not have gotten so close.”

McDermot is survived by a cat named Winkles, his grandmother Cici, and two illegitimate children. While the legal representation of The Leet World is unsure of whether or not charges will be filed against their team, they have stated that the next episode will still contain the footage taken by McDermot from the moment of his death, because “Dermot would have wanted it that way.”

Episode Three of The Leet World, “Set Up Us The Bomb”, will air this Wednesday, September 5th. Let us all remember Dermot’s commitment to his craft.

A short preview…

Well, Episode Three is currently underway, and should be released next week. We’re pretty pumped about this one, because it leads directly into Episode Four, which is going to be Ah-Maze-Zing (we hope). In other news, we are being featured on a cool gaming and videos website called GamingTv, so go check out their content.

And below is a trailer for Episode Three. Enjoy.

Posterized

If you’re here for Episode Two, scroll down, or go to the episodes page. So far, we’ve been hearing great things about this one- as I said before, we’re overall much happier with how it came out compared to Episode One. We’ve already started on the next installment, which should be a tad easier to film. The second episode just hit machinima.com, spikedhumor.com, and youtube, so be sure to vote for us if you feel like it. And keep spreading the word about the show.

Nick put this nifty little poster together for “Dirty Deeds”, so I thought I’d post it here, even though I already stuck it up on the forums… Click on the thumbnail for a larger version.

“Dirty Deeds” Poster

Stay tuned to our site, because early next week we should be putting out a small preview of Episode Three. More than just a screenshot this time.

Going to be playing some Bioshock this weekend. Very excited. Episode Two’s release kept me from opening it- but nothing will stand in my way this time!

Dirty Style

Episode Two: Dirty Deeds is now available for your viewing pleasure. All formats are up on the episodes page, though you can watch the flash version below. There are a lot of things that we love about this episode that we feel improve on the first episode, and we hope you guys feel the same way. The data rates are a little higher than the last time around, so the downloads might take a little longer.

Keep telling others about The Leet World!

Catastrophe!

Well, not entirely.  Unfortunately, we ran into some snags when trying to finish out the remainder of episode two, so don’t expect it until tomorrow (Wednesday).  The funny thing about editing something like this is that the last 5 percent of it (tweaking audio levels, making the cuts tighter, throwing in transitions and music between scenes, chopping up dialogue, etc) takes just as long to finish or longer than the first 95 percent.  Believe me, no one’s more bummed about the delay than we are, but the episode should be all the better for it.

Also, I’ll take this opportunity to tell you that the site will be more content-heavy between the release of episodes two and three.  There will definitely be some fun stuff for you guys to check out (maybe even a video) while you guys wait.

Tomorrow, tomorrow…

Well, we’ve gone for a weekend without updating, but we figured it would be worth it to tell you that we’ve been hard at work on Episode Two.  So hard, in fact, that it should (barring no catastrophes) be released tomorrow!  Check back here bright and early, and Episode Two: Dirty Deeds should be waiting for your happy perusal.  Happy waiting.

On the Set

A brief update on Episode Two: Dirty Deeds…

Last night, we filmed probably our most complicated scene we’ve filmed yet, which requires all 8 characters. The scene’s not super complicated per se, it’s just that there aren’t 8 of us. Lots of manipulation of bots, patience, and bottling up of curses is needed, but we got it done. Also, for some reason, Nick’s “camera” computer decided it didn’t like component signals, so that set us back for awhile. But now, all is ok. So far, the episode is coming along quite well, and we’ll know this weekend exactly when it’s going to be ready.

You should know, though, that we plan to release it at some point next week.
