Hey guys!
Mega Con was great, I got to hang out with Tomamoto and The Swain who are both insanely swell guys. Tomamoto and I had plenty of con adventures, and it was fun since this was his first convention. I think the highlight of the con was acting like we were two asshole Brooklyn guys ripping on every game in the gaming area, especially Naruto. This girl even flipped the fuck out about how we were (purposely) pronouncing the names wrong.
Swain also gave me a Blockhead shirt which is MEGA awesome, it's totally one of my favorite shirts now. Also, the guy is a monster, what is he like 8 ' 12"? Jesus.
We also stopped at a free Foreigner concert which was soooo badass, holy shit. They rocked so hard the power went out during Cold as Ice, godamn.
Anyway, I wanted to pose you guys a question. I've been looking back on the awesome compilations and really not admiring the rushedness of them having been made with severe time restraints because of MTV. It really made me want to reanimate them, and maybe throw in a couple more jokes. I've been getting a couple more ideas for other "Awesome" videos even though I said MGA2 is the last one.
So, I ask you guys: would you like an Awesome DVD? This is a serious question, I'm already planning the whole thing out, and I'm about to start developing it. Before you answer, here's what I plan to have on it:
- Metal Gear Awesome 1 and 2, possibly with commentary (I want to try to work commentary in SOMEHOW).
- Every Awesome Compilation completely redone; some (if not all) being longer with new jokes.
- At LEAST 4 ALL NEW Awesome shorts, of which will have no time restrictions.
- An Awesome Halloween
- Original and (possibly) redone versions of Awesome's Creed (Thanks to Hans van Harken)
- Egocaptured (Thanks to ImpendingRiot, Tomamoto, and lefthandedsock)
- A "Behind the Scenes" of the creation of the Awesome movies.
- ANIMATED Easter Eggs (Not the storyboard esque stuff in the compilations)
- Any other content I deem cool.
I'm a fan of the DVDs of other Newgrounds animators like Jazza's Paladin DVD and the College University DVD and I like how there's some random funny content just for the DVD thrown in, and I'd like to do stuff like that, too. I basically want this DVD to kick ass and not be like halfassed thrown together shit of stuff you can already see online. I want it to be exciting to see the "awesome" shorts again, all big and on your TV with better pacing and funnier visuals worthy of a 1080P 69" PLASMA HDMI HOLYSHIT.
I've gotten a lot of e-mails and PMs about making a DVD and I've always contemplated it since the first one I'd gotten since I'm a huge DVD collector. It will take a while to fully produce... but I'll do it without question. What do you guys think, would you like something like this? What else would you like to see on a DVD for the Awesome series?
Oh and before anyone asks, yes I am still working on my super top secret project, so don't worry. lol
Also I wanted to add in something I forgot to add in the original post... I'm going to try to animate all the easter eggs, too. The storyboard-style easter eggs leave much to be desired and I know a lot of people liked the eggs even more than the actual movies, so I'm going to have those in there, too.
