We officially have selected ten contestants for the Gman Squad community contest. They will be appearing in the members tab of the group, and we’ve already given out one initiation! If we don’t get a response from all of the ten selected, other applicants will fill the missing person(s) spots. If we go at these initiations with a consistency, then there will always be a room for more people to give it a go – so stay tuned if you weren’t selected. We got well over 80 applications and have to go with only a small number since on our end, we’re all balancing busy college and work schedules. Thanks for all that applied and stay tuned for more information on this interactive machinima-based contest.
Also, last Sunday, STEV and I attended Tim and Eric Awesome Tour – Live in Royal Oak, MI (just north of Detroit). We got some sweet pictures. Stev got to go up on stage with Tim and Eric and we saw most of the cast afterwards. Click here for the facebook album – includes pictures of us with the legendary DJ Douggpound, James Quall, Sire, David Liebe Hart, and more. Or you can click on these thumbnails.
On the machinima side of things, I’m still contemplating which of our ideas to go with which may include Gman Squad Episode 7, an action-western movie, a movie parody, and a movie parody-series. One of those should be next on the Works in Progress list.
And as a final note, Jack (“my crundle”, and Santa from Gman Squad Ep. 6) and Stev made a short video together a while ago..back when it wasn’t fucking winter..that they finally got around to uploading called Rick Dragon Meets Triple T. Check it out!

Yo Penguin maybe dat attitude is wat got chew disqualified, word.
January 30th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
relly?
January 30th, 2009 at 7:15 pm
Am I really the only one that can see through Xanatos’s plot to build an army. Just look at question 14 from the initiation questionnaire “14. Are you okay with being a follower to a mentally unstable dictator who will most likely use you as a sex slave?” I was hunky dory with all of the questions except for question 14 it didn’t sit well with me.

Some words of advice for the unlucky few who got in… when you enter Stev’s underground “non rape oriented” lair keep your ass to the wall and don’t agree to the NyQuil PM chugging contest..
January 30th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
The joke’s on you steamy cream, I hear STEV has holes in the walls of his non rape lair for people who think like you
January 31st, 2009 at 12:21 pm

January 31st, 2009 at 4:56 pm
How unfortunate.
January 31st, 2009 at 7:37 pm

February 2nd, 2009 at 11:35 pm
LOL I guess that last comment was a bit of a conversation stopper……. -_-
February 3rd, 2009 at 10:09 am
So I guess that this last one is supposed to be the kickstarter, right?
February 3rd, 2009 at 3:40 pm
I guess.
*sniff*

How do you guys use co-op on HLDM:S? Do you open the original maps on the Deathmatch version or is there a special map/mappack?
February 4th, 2009 at 12:58 am
LOL shut up oooo How ’bout this? Pirates or ninjas, who wins? I pick ninjas… Now that’s a conversation.
February 4th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
Reply to JCH152: you just bassicaly create a server for HLDM:S then use the Command Console (`) and type in the map name (e.g. map c1a0).
February 8th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
