DS2m1 - Something new (and brief)

On: Wednesday, January 21, 2009



This is what it is; a short show that (very) briefly highlights people and stuff that I find interesting.

Tonight what I find interesting is the project that ~Nemesis-19 and I have been working on. If you like twisty stories, puzzles, a little role-playing, and danger (well, not really any danger), check it out: Here [link] and Here [link] .

More DS2m stuff soon.

On: Saturday, October 4, 2008

I thought it only fitting that we should post the curtain call for such a talented group of actors / stage combatants.

Absolutely fabulous work.

DS2 - x44 - Anime Human Chess Match: The Final Fight

On: Wednesday, October 1, 2008

From METROCON 2008's Anime Human Chess Match.

This is the final fight of the 2008 Chess Match and it is an excellent end to an exception show. Heroics, violence, camaraderie, and betrayal; it's all here.

I guess there's not too much more to say, other than a HUGE "Thank You" to the entire cast and crew for giving us such a wonderful show. Bravo!

DS2 - x43 - Anime Human Chess Match: The Melee - Saturday Footage

Well, we weren't able to use it as part of the official Melee edit because the lighting was so very different.

Since things were much more visible, though, we thought some of you might like to see a different angle of the Chess Match's Melee.

As the title says, this footage is from the Saturday show.

For full comments on the Melee, please see the description on the previous submission.

DS2 - x42 - Anime Human Chess Match: The Melee

On: Saturday, September 20, 2008

From METROCON 2008's Anime Human Chess Match.

This is the penultimate fight of the 2008 Chess Match and, as you will no doubt understand, it is referred to as The Melee. Basically, it involves ALL the characters you've met thus far, and quite a few more.

Once again we were presented with some extremely dramatic lighting, which no doubt lends the perfect mood to this other-worldly battle royale, unfortunately the lighting plays heck with trying to capture clear images on camera. We've done our best to make it as viewable as possible without killing the mood of the fight.

I'm sure it goes without saying, but the planning, training, and skill that goes into doing a fight scene of this magnatude for a live audience is simply staggering. Unbelievable work by the entire cast and crew!

DS2 - x41 - Anime Human Chess Match: Pride vs 'The Cloaked Bishop'

On: Wednesday, September 17, 2008

From METROCON 2008's Anime Human Chess Match.

It is with no small sadness that we come to the last of the single combats moves (chess moves, of course). After this the Chess Match's narrative zooms to its shocking conclusion. This fight pits Pride (character from Full Metal Alchemist) against the mysterious cloaked bishop (character from Beats the Heck Out of Me) who has been whispering in Princess Zelda's ear throughout the entire match.

Even if I knew who this character was, though, I wouldn't mention it here. There are just too many fantastic surprises in this fight to risk spoiling them for those of you who read the descriptions first. So watch and enjoy; this is a great one.

DS2 - x40 - Anime Human Chess Match: Dark Link vs Dark Prince of Persia

On: Friday, September 12, 2008

From METROCON 2008's Anime Human Chess Match.

They're both dark, but they're on different sides of the board. This fight matches the sword of Dark Link (character from The Legend of Zelda) against the whipping chain of the Dark Prince (character from Prince of Persia).

Once again we are reminded of the creativity and commitment that goes into bringing these characters to a live performance; amazing to see a (long) chain employed against a sword in this type of show. Great stuff.
