Hi everybody. I suppose it’s senseless to apologize for the lack of productivity. It’s been…what..5 or 6 months since we’ve had a Machinima.com release? Yeah, a lot of junk has been going on with the ideas we’ve tossed around not working, and not to mention real life being a major hinder.
But we’re still here. And we’ve got a new video on the way. It’s going to be a special bonus video about our most popular video, CS For Kids, to get us jumpstarted back into the swing of things. In this one large overall piece, you’ll get an introduction with comments by the cast, a version of CS For Kids with commentary by Stev and Xanatos, a tutorial-like segment showing how the Extreme Gore sequence was built, and some extra footage. All in one video.
It’s fucking crazy that CS For Kids is almost the #1 most viewed video on Machinima.com’s Youtube page. It’s currently the second most seen video on their channel with a viewcount of well over 7-million. How this happened is pure viral chance, and help from partner promotion. I suppose people must like it, too. This is basically why we thought it’d be appropriate to make a sort-of addendum video to the original with everything stated prior. Will keep you updated, I’m hoping this release goes smooth.
Oh hey. The Janus Syndicate, as a group, turns exactly four years old on the 19th (We formed on that day in 2005). Time flies.
Also, to address the fanboys: YES, THE GMAN SQUAD WILL EVENTUALLY CONTINUE. IT’S JUST ON HIATUS RIGHT NOW FOR MANY REASONS (one being that we got a lot of unnecessary flack for Episode 7, I suppose we’ll talk in detail about this incredibly bizarre series at a later date). Episode 7 wasn’t the last. That’s why at the end it said “To be continued”. Source Wars fits this same category but is even lower on the priority level. Source Mod Todd is probably said and done. Just for the record. Ok, see you soon. Leave some interesting comments.

Oh, and here’s what Gerald did to me this past Halloween:

Hey! Its good to see you guys are still at it.
Your guys’ videos fricken rock! Gman squad is probably my favourite. So take as long as you guys need to make a video. Just as long as you guys don’t die away, right?

You should be more active because when you create an episode series and you wait 4 it and wait 4 a long time than its starting to get bored to wait 4 another episode. So you should atleast inform us when the next episode will come. Ive wrote 4 fours in this coment

I for one, say that you guys deserve to take as long as you want, because the creative process can not be rushed. Massed produced ideas are generally terrible ideas, and if you want to take extra time for personal relaxation, it really helps the overall idea process. I learned all about this in psychology class.

It’s positively fabulous to hear that you guys will continue on with Gman Squad. I say with full sincerity that it’s one of the best Machinimas to date. Better yet, you guys are one of the greatest Machinima producers. Don’t become stale like other famed producers!
When can we expect the next Episode? We’re all anxiously anticipating its release!

You guys plan on making a 4th year recap video?
November 20th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
Glad to hear you guys are still making videos. We all know you have better things to do than just play and film yourselves playing video games, but the outcome of that filming is just plain awesome. Hope to see some more vids soon, and just a thank you for all the previous hilarities in the previous videos.
November 20th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
It’s great to see that your still goin’. I hope life lets you guys live a little every once in a while. I look forward to the video!

I have a question about CS for kids. At the EXTREME GORE EDITION!!!! bit what did you use to make the heads and crap come off…i have one LIKE that but not as good…and yeah a better detail super gore mod would be nice. If you can put that in your downloads fantastic.
