What was to be a pretty simple promo video for Gorilla Gong, became quite an achievement in itself. I got to work with Takahata101 of Team Four Star on this one, I got great stop motion practice in with the dialogue segments and this is the first video to feature Russian translated closed captioning since I discovered Russia was often my #3 viewer demographic. This became a fun video to make and I hope to do more like it with the two antagonist characters in the future. Also, keep in mind, I didn't actually help make the site in any way. I just volunteered to make an entertaining promo to help the new site grow.

The views and opinions expressed in the parody segments of this video are that of DasBoSchitt and do not reflect the opinions of Ross Scott or any of his associates. Thanks go to "Phil". You are a shining example of how not to be a Lets Player.

I'd like to take a moment to respond to the people jumping to conclusions that this video is a slam on the entirety of Lets Play. If you payed attention, the video lampoons the Lets Plays that are basically just exploiting new game releases by shoveling them through a capture card as quickly as possible with little to no effort, editing or thought out commentary for the purpose of lining their pockets and beating others on search results. If this is what you think the entirety of Lets Play is, then I'm afraid it's you who's insulting all Lets Players, not me. I for one give mad props to the LPers that take the time to learn, or even master a game, inform upon it and edit properly so people don't spend 4 parts watching someone lose at a boss fight or get lost. I would even go so far as to say that even though guys like Markiplier for example is indeed guilty of a few of the tropes I criticize here, I would still totally buy him a drink if I saw him at a con and talk with the guy about games for extended periods of time.

It's finally finished. I had no idea making a high quality machinima would take so long to make, but it'll all be worth it soon.

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:28.500
How long has it been, a month? An entire month of script writing, scene setup, animation, server upkeep...

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:38.000
...voice acting, bug fixing, minor tweaking, hardware issues, editing, effects, photoshop, reshoots, revisions, cleanup...

00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:43.000
...and all in my free time between my friends, family and worldly responsibilities.

00:00:43.700 --> 00:00:47.000
At last the world can see what I've worked so hard on.

00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:56.000
Jubilation!

00:00:56.500 --> 00:01:00.000
The latest horror game is out today! Time to exploit--

00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:05.000
...I'm sorry, produce day one lets plays of it.

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.500
PHIL! Get in here!

00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:12.600
WHAAAT?!

00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:17.500
The door won't open! This is stupid! It's bugged! It's totally bugged!

00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:21.300
Nice going, Kojima, you asshole!

00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:23.700
Phil, the doorknob.

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.700
Oh okay! I guess I was just supposed to know that!

00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:33.500
What's up, boss? Is it time?

00:01:33.800 --> 00:01:36.500
Yes, Phil, it is time!

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:42.000
Round up the other minions! Don your facecams and obnoxious genitalia jokes...

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:47.700
...and don't report back until you've spoiled the whole game as soon as possible!

00:01:47.800 --> 00:01:51.000
Yes ma'am! But ...

00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.000
But WHAT, Phil? Hurry it up!

00:01:54.100 --> 00:01:59.500
Well, the public has been talking, okay? And they kind of want to know...

00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:07.200
... isn't it about time we improve our commentary, quality standards and edit out the parts where we get lost forever?

00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:11.100
Wait... are you saying we use... ?

00:02:11.100 --> 00:02:12.900
Well, they call it "effort" and...

00:02:12.900 --> 00:02:15.000
NOOOOOO!!!

00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:23.100
Get with the times, you try-hard! Time and effort doesn't sell anymore!

00:02:23.300 --> 00:02:31.000
Now get your ass moving or else the YouTube search results WILL BE TOLERABLE FOR A WHOLE DAY!!

00:02:31.100 --> 00:02:34.000
FINE, I'm going, GOD!

00:02:35.500 --> 00:02:36.600
OH COME ON

00:02:57.600 --> 00:03:01.300
Does this look like your normal day? Mine too.

00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:06.700
Hi, I'm Ross Scott, the creator of Freeman's Mind and the atomic bomb!

00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:08.500
Do you like machinima?

00:03:08.500 --> 00:03:14.000
And by "machinima" I mean videos made using games? Of course you do!

00:03:14.300 --> 00:03:18.700
Well besides this channel, where do you find it? Good question, right?

00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.000
Oh, I know! Machinima.com, right?

00:03:23.900 --> 00:03:30.000
But seriously, there's a lot of gaming content out there, but it can be hard to find actual machinima nowadays.

00:03:30.100 --> 00:03:34.600
But fear not! Now you can come to Gorilla Gong!

00:03:34.600 --> 00:03:43.300
At Gorilla Gong, the majority of our videos are always machinima. That's because we actually give a damn.

00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:52.000
We have reviewers with machinima backgrounds who approve the videos, write up descriptions on them, and tag them by category to make them easy to find.

00:03:52.100 --> 00:03:59.500
We don't take any money from directors, and we embed straight from their own channels so they get more views.

00:03:59.500 --> 00:04:09.400
We have new videos every day, we're free for everyone, and we don't feature videos based on how popular they are, only if we think they're good or not.

00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:16.500
So come to Gorilla Gong to see the best machinima we can find. Or suggest your own and get a new audience!

00:04:16.500 --> 00:04:22.500
Join us! Help us save the future of machinima and defeat the forces of darkness!

00:04:22.500 --> 00:04:23.500
Join us! Help us save the future of machinima and defeat the forces of darkness!

00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:29.300
Why do they call it Gorilla Gong?

00:04:29.300 --> 00:04:30.000
YES!!
