Hello all!

Nostalgia Critic:

I guess I'll get the big thing out of the way first. Due to an unforeseen event we have been forced to push back the Captain Planet review to next Sunday.. Yeah I know another delay, but trust me, the video that will go in it's place will be nothing short of epic... An event came to our attention, and well Doug and his brother Rob had to drive 12 hours to film it. Actually they should just be arriving home now. This event hopefully will be on the site late Sunday (around 10 PM CST), or if worse comes to worse.. Late Monday. Trust us it's worth it!

This event has also allowed Doug to film a lot of behind the scenes footage, that will slowly trickle into the premium members private FTP account. So if you haven't donated and your interested in this extra footage from the event.. donate then! For all those who have donated, once again we thank you, and be sure to keep a lookout in the coming week for a lot more items to be added.

Bum Reviews

Next week will bring forth 2 new Bum Reviews, I believe Wall-E is one that will be done, and the other may be Wanted.

Ask ThatGuy

Ask ThatGuy Episode 5, was originally supposed to be Episode 7, but I decided to bump it up a bit. Therefore the next two episode will be Episode 4.3 and 4.6. Episode 6 should have some interesting things going down, and heck maybe some other series on this site will have some potential cameos in the future.

How Does Ask ThatGuy Work?

Basically I get all the questions submitted by all of you sent to one of my email accounts, and from there I pick the 'best' questions and send them all to Doug, and from there he reduces the lot of the 40-50 best questions from the week down to 20. He films 3 episodes at once. From here on out we plan on releasing about 3 episodes every 2 weeks. For the guy who submitted the screamer question.. I really do thank you, because that question immediately gave me a great idea on how to answer that question, which I then passed on to Doug, and well the rest is history.

5 Second Movies

Doug will be doing one more through his own idea, and then for the last one episode 101; we have decided to have a you pick one. Basically after episode 100 is online, a new email contact will be added to the site, similar to how Ask ThatGuy works, with this email link you will be able to submit the movie that you want to be made in 5 Seconds. The submission with the most requests of course wins. (Of course Doug may occasionally add a new 5 Second Movie after that if a really good idea comes to him.

Oh, and once again.. I'm not Doug/ThatGuy.. I am a completely different person, but it seems some people think that I am ThatGuy.. Perhaps a profile picture change is in order..

Thanks for reading, and be prepared for EPIC AWESOMENESS tomorrow or Monday!

AAAAAAH! I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG!

I'm also excited for the Wall E Bum Review, since I've already seen Wall E and I can only imagine how the Bum will review that.

I like the 5 Second Movie suggestion idea too.

Whatever you say "admin" smilies/wink.gif

I think we need to give "admin" the name change... how about Andy... Andy the Admin, that sounds like a rejected GI Joe Character but it'll work.

I can't wait to see Doug's videos.

I've seen the clip of that event, someone showed it to me. But I won't tell you what it is because then it would spoil the surprise. The wait will definitely be worth it. Just be ready.

"who was the blonde kid in nc: epic battle"

The one with the blue jacket? He does Captain N, another show on screwattack. Him and the Nerd *shakes fist* did a Christmas video together once.

It reminded me of the fight between Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Conan O'Brien during the writer's strike.

"who was the blonde kid in nc: epic battle"

IceDragon is half right.

He's not Captain N, he's Captain S. Captain S is the defender of Video Land.

Truthfully it's a 10 episode series that parody's 80's/90's highschool sitcoms but with an overload of videogame references. And yes, the ... NERD... teamed up with him to save Christmas.

You can find Captain S stuff here:

For the record, Captain S is Sort of a parody on Captain N, who was an old 90s TV show of a kid who gained the power to Promote NIntendo games!! (side-note: that was a half-assed joke, in case you thought I was serious...)
Captain S is basically the same, cheesy old show, but with a guy named NES as the villain (hardity-har-har) and he uses a Sega Genesis (instead of an SNES) to go into th magical video game land.

And, yeah, I think it was supposed to be a half-parody, half-original ripoff of the Stewart/Colbert/o'Brien thing, with Colbert being the Nerd, O'Brian being the Critic, and Captain S being Stewart, coming to Colbert's side much after the "war" had already started.
Luckily for US, the battle will still continue after the fight, unlike the Late-night -Fight.
