That newest render looks so badass. Infinitely better, much cooler.

Apologies for breaking the flow of "official" posts, but what's the context behind this?  Is this a series you've been writing and recording for, or an existing script you've decided to read out?

No problem! It's explained a bit better in the thread for Episode One, but these are existing fanfictions written by our own Abbie Phelps and her co-writer Nate Grizzle. They're published on AO3 (and elsewhere, if I'm not mistaken) and I'm ultimately just readin' em for funsies.


Howabout this Sunday at 2 p.m. CST?

(That's 8 p.m. GMT, if I'm not mistaken.)

Also, we'll need to figure out who's hosting, if we're doin' Jackbox again and Shadow's not available. I'm down to figure out how to host it myself if nobody else has shit set up already.

Meanwhile, No More Jockeys is intriguing...

(I'm down for either this weekend or next weekend, I think.)

GENTLEPEOPLE.

I ask you: When again? This weekend is a bit soon, admittedly, but next weekend is a bit too Christmas, and I'd love to keep a monthly-ish game night goin.'

Man, that guy's fucking voice. He could do anything with that voice.

Woo! This was fun. What a weird movie.

This is doable, it'd just take a while. I'd probably be looping it together with splines like "Head," "Torso," "Left Arm," "Right Arm," etc., and probably starting by doing keyframes every five frames, and only making finer-frame adjustments when errors were egregious.

The easiest way to do the every-five-frames thing is to make [any layer with any keyframes happening every five frames], twindle-down that layer so the keyframe diamonds are visible onscreen, and then use the j/k keys to hop between visible keyframes on the timeline. Then, on your matte layer, make your adjustments, beginning to end, one matte at a time. Probably five hours or fewer for a good-enough overall thingy, depending on your expected level of detail. (You'd roto so as to lose stars, rather than to overlap stars and bodies, should worst come to worst.)

This is assuming it can't be extracted with insane levels crunching, which, maybe.

(I'm not entirely sure if I have access to After Effects here — definitely not on the machine I'm typing on in its current state. I might be able to help ya out if nobody else jumps in — at least, I might getcha farther down the field with an AEP setup or something.)

1) Seriously love the cover.

2) YES. WHAT'S YOUR TECHNIQUE. AS THE DAD-LAD SAID.

3) Sorry: 'Dad-Lad' rhymes, and so I wrote it. It's not fair. It's a stereotype.

4) It rhymessssssss. I'm sorry.

5) The War of the Ring is compelling; I'm not sure if it's the art doing it.

All three are incredibly good — the first and third are most compelling, for some geographical-feeling reason, and I'm obsessed with the lightning in the second one.

I think the bottom one is my favorite, but all would look right hanging on the wall.

Great stuff.

Oh fuck yes.

Y'all, I'm so excited about this.

Sold! This is exciting.

Well hello!

As someone who has played JackBox Games, I know I'm down for that. As someone who has not played other games, I have no idea what else I'm down for — but I'm here to find out!

So, who's down for what? What are we doin'? Who brought the snacks?

This is me not establishing a precedent for posting text with the tapes.

...man.

1) The name on everybody's lips is gonna be ROTC.

2) Rattack of the Clones is actually correct.

Thanks for that whole post — but the quote is incredible.

Wow. Nifty.
