Hey guys! Guess what... it's time for an update!

Lately, we have been pumping out videos like you wouldn't believe. We've accumulated a nice little queue that you have yet to see. When will we get to see these videos, you may ask? In due time. We want to spread them out and make 'em last. However, I can give you a little insight on some of them. One video is very (dare I say it), patriotic, and the other (which will be released this upcoming Tuesday) is a new take on an internet video involving a cat (and some keys). And then, we have 4 complete Random Sauce episodes all ready to go. I don't believe you'll see any this upcoming week, but the following week should bring more crazy. In the meantime, enjoy the latest video: Random Sauce: BR.

Aside from new videos, we have some more exciting news. The Marlin CD I've been talking about now has a release date. The Essential Marlin: Volume 1 (that's the name of the CD) will be available July 7 (a.k.a. Bungie Day). It will retail for $12.99 (plus shipping of course) through the Marlin Cafepress shop (www.cafepress.com/marlintheelite). The CD contains 20 original music tracks composed by none other than... me. Some of the tracks have never been heard before, including a little voice outtake. The money that we earn (about 3 or 4 bucks per CD) will go right back into TP to help us purchase stuff like props, supplies and equipment. I will be posting a few tracks on YouTube so you can get a feel of what you'll find on the soundtrack.

Also, we're planning a Community Game Night/Day event, where fans can play custom games with us. That's right. Us. We'll feature some maps that we've created, plus some old favorites.
The whole goal is to have fun. So when can you expect to get your fun on? July 7 (a.k.a. Bungie Day, a.k.a. Marlin CD release day) at 1:00 P.M. (PST). Keep an eye out on our YouTube page for an informative video with more details on how to join in.

So, that's it for now! Quite a lot compared to my usual posts.

Well well well! Here we are again to bring you another TP update. We have finished up Marlin Season 4, and have been working on other stuff.

We finished our Behind the Scenes of Marlin the Elite video a while ago, but we just recently put it out. So our first video is a promotional ad for our friends at Gruntsrus.com. Check it out if you haven't already. We have a few episodes of our new machinima series Random Sauce in the can, and will be releasing the first episode within the next few days.

Also, we're close to setting a release for the Marlin the Elite music CD that I've been talking about, which will contain original music that we (and when I say "we", I pretty much mean "me") made for the series. It will have 20 tracks and will sell for about $14.00. I will post a few of the song on our YouTube account so you can get a sampling of what you'll be getting.

So that's it for now! I'm gonna go look for some Game Fuel!

Tues. June 2, 2009

Time for another little update! We just released Marlin the Elite episode 39, as well as 38 and 37. Marin episode 40 will be coming within the next few weeks. This will be the last episode of the season. Like last year, we're going to take a break over the summer to work on other stuff. We'll then resume making Marlin the Elite in the Fall (most likely September 4).

We've already started making and planning some other machinima videos as well as live-action videos. One of those videos is "Behind the Scenes of Marlin the Elite", where you'll see how we make an episode of Marlin the Elite. We will also start up a new machinima series called "Random Sauce". Like the name suggests, each episode will be very random and very short. The series won't have a set run, so production will be very casual (basically whenever we feel like it). And then of course, we'll be working on Project Blackknight ep. 2. It will most likely be posted to just Vimeo.com and not YouTube, but of course we'll have more info on that when the time comes.

Also as a last note, I tweaked the website a bit to make it a little bit cleaner. Thanks to those who gave feedback on the forums. So that's it! As usual, please follow us on Twitter. You know you want to!
