PAX East and future songs
We’ve got a few different projects in the works, and we hope they will be out to you this year. Maybe not — since this is a hobby and not a day job, the schedule tends to be rather…elastic. But here’s...
View ArticleArcade Gaming Shrine video for iPhone
Several people have asked if they can have an iPhone/iPad version of the Arcade Gaming Shrine video, so they can take it with them and relive the magic in, say, a bus station. The answer is yes, yes...
View ArticlePAX East 2011: Breakfast With Ninjas
Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! Jude and I will be at PAX East — together! — and we want to meet up with folks. We got together with folks in the food court last year and that worked, so let’s do that again....
View ArticlePhotos from PAX East 2011
It was great to see everybody who came out for the breakfast meeting — you know, the one without the breakfast? The food court was open but it turned out there was no food ready, so we just stood...
View ArticleWe’re on the Tac-Com podcast
If you didn’t hear our epic interview from PAX East, get episode 6 here. Jude and I rarely get a chance to be interviewed together, and we went into lots of weird detail.
View ArticleJude & Dan go to Funspot
If you are into classic arcade culture at all, you know what I’m talking about. The day before PAX East 2011, we drove from Boston to New Hampshire for a pilgrimage to the largest arcade in the world....
View ArticleWhy we rarely take fan ideas
I politely said in our FAQ that you could contact us with song ideas but truth be told, I think it’s better when people don’t. It’s mostly because humor is entirely subjective — what’s funny to you is...
View ArticleNew Song: “Rage Quitter”
Download the full-length MP3 for free here. As mentioned in an earlier post, this song came from a random idea from one of our fans, Chris Repetti. He sent a note on Facebook and it instantly made...
View ArticleNew song imminent; end of an era?
A light at the end of the tunnel! Jude and I have been working on our next song for a long time — before “Rage Quitter,” actually. I found a file that said “feb mix” which means we’ve been talking...
View ArticleNew Song: “I Tried To Play Alliance”
This one’s been a long time coming! We’ve been working on our parody of Thomas Dolby’s “She Blinded Me With Science” around for almost a year — and it did not come easy. In fact, we made “Rage Quitter”...
View ArticleOur plans for 2012
First off, thanks for all the support in 2011. It was a good year for us: We finally finished our WoW song. Kat made us another great video (though we really thought someone would do a full machinima...
View ArticleLevelSpike’s animated Halo video!
Check out LevelSpike’s animated video for “Halo ((All I Play-Oh))”! Click here to view the embedded video. So awesome! I love the RB drum kit!
View ArticleOur Plans for 2013
Yeah, pretty much the same as the plans for 2012. This past year really caught us at a bad time — Jude has a family to raise, and I just slacked. The size and scope of what we are planning is pretty...
View ArticleOur demented dream actually came true
Jude and I do this because it’s fun. But I won’t lie — the recognition we’ve gotten from fans is huge to us, and we have shared a secret dream since we started. We never planned to be rich or famous...
View ArticleNew song: “Major Rip-Off (Trade-Ins Blow)”
Remember that big project we said we were working on that would be worth the wait? This isn’t it. This is just a little thank-you for being so patient because it’s taking so darn long. This song –...
View ArticleThe Project is Real
Has it really been more than a year since we posted anything here? It can’t be true. And yet there it is — nothing since “Major Rip-Off.” Oh man. Well, here’s the good news: In the interim, we have...
View ArticleApology, 2015 Edition
Well, it’s the end of another December, so it’s time for the annual sheepish apology post. This time last year, we really did think you’d be listening to the project right now. What happened? Not...
View ArticleProgress report, June 2016
We’re about halfway through the year, and I’m happy to say we have six of the 12 or 13 songs for the album recorded. I have done my “final” mixes on them, and they sound good — I’m not ashamed of them,...
View ArticleHelp us find a drummer
We had hoped to have the whole album recorded by the end of 2016. The second half of the year turned into a crazy time for both of us. Jude had a major scientific breakthrough at work this fall (which...
View ArticleDrums: We’re going digital
Thank you for the suggestions, volunteers, and “I’ve got a friend” messages after our call for a drummer. We’ve decided to move forward with MIDI drums, which will give us the greatest control. Half...
