CO-OP, episode 0002 - Fallout 3: Operation Anchorage and Skate 2

It's the second episode of CO-OP! I know it seems like the third, but the first was a two-parter. Deal with it.

Between the generous donation of some machines and finally being able to spend the PayPal donation money sound gear, we're finally feeling like we can produce up to the quality we expect of ourselves. Hopefully you'll agree. If you don't, comment and let us know why! We're actually really interested to hear what people have to say, so we've worked with a partner to come up with a survey. It's important that the survey come from those of you that watch the show, so we've embedded the URL in the show itself.

This week we brought over Nick Suttner of RebelFM and Eat. Sleep. Game. fame to share a Skate 2 love-in with Ryan and Jason. Then, outside our favorite, local ice creamery, Humphrey Slocombe, Patrick Klepek of MTV Multiplayer joined our Cesar and Philip Kollar (also of Eat. Sleep. Game.) in a conversation about their experiences with the Fallout 3 expansion, Operation Anchorage. In case you haven't heard from his Twitter, Patrick is the latest casualty of an economy-turned-wrong and will be leaving the Multiplayer blog at the end of this month. We're going to miss his contributions to that most excellent of resources, but we know he'll land on his feet. People that talented never go completely off the radar and you can bet that wherever he ends up he--and his hair--are going to propel it into the stratosphere of excellence! All the best, Patrick! We love you man!

If you've been following our Twitters, you may know that this week was a very good week for our team. I wish I could tell you more, but, honestly, but I'm a little afraid of jinxing the shit out of it. There is one thing that will be obvious right away, though, and it's directly related to the donation link coming down. We got a sponsor! There were rumors that Rob had mentioned sacrificing his roommate's cat--in a most insidious way, I might add--in order to bring about such fortuitous circumstances. I haven't the courage to enquire as to whether he actually went through with it. Gift horses and mouths and all that. Thanks to EA and The Godfather 2® game, we know how these next four episodes of Co-op are going to be funded! Even though we've received a ton of messages and comments from people telling us that they'll gladly pay for our work, the ability to continue to offer it for free is something we dared not hope for. Maybe we should have dared. Just a little.

That's not the end of the good news, however, and more will be revealed next week. Keep your fingers and toes firmly in the crossed position for us!

As usual, you can also download the file from Vimeo.

I really like how things are turning out. The editing and film style that you are using now is more of a graduation from what you were doing. It must be nice to challenge yourself and try things that you haven't done before and grow as an artist. It's nice to see the love and support you guys show eat-sleep-game.com and vice versa.

Keep up the good work and I'll keep spreading the word.

Loving the show guys. Good work. One question though.

During this episode a song was playing at around the 18:40 mark when you guys were talking about Skate 2 having similar levels to the original. Can I by any chance get the song information? It caught my attention straight away and It's stayed in my head the whole day. Much appreciated.

Again, good work and keep doing what you do.

Love the show. I really don't like the text you use though for your titles. It looks sloppy and is somewhat hard to read being so squished together like that.

Quite an enjoyable episode.

I downloaded it from Vimeo and had no issues with video quality, though others might have more discerning eyes?

The only thing I can think of to hope for from future episodes is a few more folks rotated in to the roster. I'm sure it's just a matter of scheduling and logistics, but it would be nice to see some long lost, or even fresh and new, faces discussing whatever the topic of the day might be.

mice show. Still, only two games?

A great episode, guys. I'm glad things are lining up in your favor so you continue doing what you love to do.

On a side note, it's great to see you plugging fantastic places in the Mission. I had a scoop of the salt and pepper from Humphrey Slocum the other week and it exploded my mind.

Anyway, keep it up!

This is really well done guys, I know that awesome things are heading your way. The sound is awesome and the content really well paced imho.

Great show!!! Loved the music particularly, anyone know what songs were playing around the 19 and 22 minute marks? I want to go to them!

I think it would be nice if you guys did a segment on some Xbox Live Community Games. You wouldn't have to go into detail on any one particular game, just highlights of the best games. I think these games are wonderful gems that many people don't even realize are available for such great prices. There are some great games in there.

Yeah,

Thanks Area5ers (and Donors!) for bringing back the best video game video show out there. It's still early but this was a taste of the gold old/new things to come. I appreciate the work and vision. Keept it up...and I'll worry about critique when you're further along in your product. but again, thanks for the work and maintaining the vision guys. it's really what made the show what it was.

people don't drink fosters in Australia! It is one of the worst beers you can get here, but by American standards I guess it must be pretty good :P

February 27, 2009 | Unregistered Commenternorse

Yeah, I know it's a terrible beer, but the commercial reference was worth it ;)
