Introducing Area 5 "Snacks"

We're always bouncing ideas back and forth about possible segments, shows, or just ridiculous ideas for narrative bits. Sometimes these things come to fruition. We just came up with a name for them: Area 5 "Snacks." Often a Snack will be born out of everyday experiences. Yesterday Rob brought in a robot piggy bank loaded with change. Armed with a Zi6 and an hour to kill for lunch, Jason and Rob embarked on an adventure and documented it in a little piece called "Robo Bank."

We know you want to see more about what we do outside the show so we'll be trying to get more pieces like this--and more photo blogs--up on a regular basis to keep you updated. Ryan and Cesar are putting the finishing touches on part 2 of our 2008 retrospective so keep an eye out for our next update. Also, make sure to subscribe to our Youtube Channel.

Thats a badass piggy bank.

Haha, nice :) Any chance the snacks could be made into a podcast? My iPod craves area 5 goodness!

Great to hear that you guys will be doing more photo blogs-- like I said in my previous post, I think that'd be a great idea. The sketch was awesome, by the way. The clerk where you guys bought the Luchador mask didn't seem too thrilled. Looking forward to more of these kinda things-- and for part 2 of the last Co-op!

Retrospective part 2 tonight, or not?

I was on my laptop all day yesterday waiting for it.

January 29, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMax

I once bought a game using all change. Needless to say the Wal-Mart check-out lady was not happy.

Dude, what is the name of that robot bank! I really want it. Does anyone know what it is called!?!?!

January 29, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterGabe

That...is very funny. But awesome lunch you got there :)

January 29, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterGMechMK2

The video started a little slow, but by the end it definitely was worth it. Thanks for the snack.

January 29, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAJ Jenkins

Love the concept and the video. Good work guys.

January 29, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterTOS

in the words of justin timberlake "Im lovin' it!" keep it up :D

Am I the only one that liked Dark Sector? I have only tried the demo so far, but I thought it was fun.

January 29, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterTechSamurai

Who did the music?

Loved this little video. :D

January 29, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterPierce

Nice little vid. Loved the choice of music.

Rob rules.

January 29, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterHue

Funny video. The name is perfect, "snack" is such a comfy word. Reminds you of when you are a little kid and just got home from school.

January 29, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJon

I'm glad that you guys don't worry about putting out smaller videos when you feel like it, this really gives your site a more personal feel rivaling the old days at 1UP. This must be a monumental task for you to put out a weekly show AND make more videos like this, and I greatly appreciate what you're doing for your fans. You guys are awesome! Thank you!

Great short guys...enjoyed it.

Really want to see you guys get busy with the paid content. I always watch the show on my ipod and would gladly pay a small sum for the privilege. I've seen a lot of TV that has tried to cover video games both network and amateur. You guys do it right and the content is always pitched right where I want it. It's great to be able to watch a show about games that doesn't patronise me or play to the teen market.

I was gutted when I found out about the series of events at EGM (believe it or not, I found out when trying to get a subscription to the mag after having watched your show for some time - I'm from the UK so couldn't just walk out and buy a copy). The reason you have such a groundswell of support is that you really are the best game in town when it comes to games commentary in this format. Keep up the good work and I would expect the internet gaming community will support you...I most certainly will be. Thank you.

I saved up $60 in change this summer, but that was money I was saving for my upcoming wedding. :P

Like the concept of these little extra bits.

Keep up the solid work, guys. Can't wait until 00-part 2.

January 30, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterD3stiny_Sm4sher

It's good to see you guys back on. I hope all goes well and that you guys continue to be able to do what you love. I can't wait to see where you guys go in the future.

January 30, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterBandus

I have done that... I bought Halo using 10p's and 50p's.

January 30, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDan Barker

omg that is hilarious! where did you get that robot piggy bank??? i need me one of them!

January 30, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterkatetheshark

Awesome, keep up the great job you're doing here at Area 5!

PS. Dark sector isn't that bad.

January 30, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSaFt

Do Youtube channels have an RSS feed? I'd rather not have to create a Youtube account if I don't have to. If not, I guess so long as you have a corresponding entry on this site for every new video I'll be fine with your "Entries" RSS feed.

January 30, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDavid

I want one of those robot piggy banks...using a milk jug right now to store my change

January 30, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterHarry

what was the shooting mode you had the Zi6 in? HD or VGA?

January 30, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJeff

@Sedition ... thanks for all the kind words, man! I, too, hope we can get some kind of paid thing going soon, but we're still in a lot of talks with various content partners and if we can offer what we do for free, we will! It's crazy how fast AND how slow things can move in the business world all at the same time :)

@katetheshark ... heh, you'll have to ask Rob, but I agree it is teh awesome!

@Harry ... I have several old bottles and containers stuffed with change. I'm gonna have to pull a Rob, soon, and count it all out ;)

@Jeff ... it was shot on the Zi6 in 720p.

January 30, 2009 | Unregistered Commentermatt

@katetheshark - I bought my robo bank at Walgreens about 4 years ago, so I can't remember exactly what his name is, but I'm fairly certain he is a "Wah Hing Robot Bank". http://www.buzzillions.com/dz_91706_wah_hing_robot_bank_reviews#bz-model-wtb

January 30, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterRob

I have a feeling...we will be seeing this robot again.

Do I smell a mascot???

January 31, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterValke

Great short. Keep it up guys! I like the idea of the robot being in all the little snack shorts...

February 1, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterHiddengrounds

I sorta want a robo bank now. Cant wait to see more mini and normal sized segments.

February 1, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterWebnet

I was really hoping that was going to end on "uh, why are you playing Dark Sector?"

February 5, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterBrandon Douglas

I love it
this is what I was missing in Coop but there we go.
Thanks guys very good work.
Cheers
