Gollum, Captain America: Civil War, & Keith Apicary!

Well here's something different. I was fortunate enough to capture Gollum and Smeagol on video as they debated about whether or not they should watch the new Captain America: Civil War movie. Personally, I thought it was a no-brainer to go see the movie, but Gollum isn't so sure. Check it out:

Now, when I think of Gollum, there's only one human that comes to my mind: Keith Apicary. I don't mean to insult Gollum like that, as I'm sure he doesn't have anywhere near the kind of pungent body odor that Keith has, but they certainly do look alike. Anyway, this past week, I went over to Keith Apicary's house to play the arcade game Confidential Mission with him. It's a game where you play two secret agents who basically have to shoot everything in sight with their hand guns - including tanks. Totally logical, right? Lucky for you, you can watch the two us prove that we're the worst agents in the history of the world by checking out our new video:

I'm sure I'll be shooting more Keith's Arcade episodes in the near future, as he's constantly stealing my things and forcing me to come over to his house to retrieve them - but only after I play some old video games with him. Until then, I'll continue to try getting a restraining order approved.

By the way, while Smeagol / Gollum are still deciding on it, I recently saw Captain America: Civil War, and absolutely loved it. I need to watch it again to officially decide where it ranks in against other Marvel movies, but it's waaaaay up there. Such a perfect blend of action, drama, and comedy. It might even be my new favorite Marvel flick. I'd love to talk with you guys about it more, so drop a comment below to let me know what you think of it and let's blab about all the characters and what went down. Also, if you're going to post any spoilers, please be sure to say so beforehand in your comment, just in case somebody reading it hasn't seen the movie yet.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed these latest two videos. Thanks for watching!

A Big Godball Update! Plus, A Trucking Movies Podcast Discussion!

GODBALL - Now available for PC and Mac on Adult Swim Games!

In case you missed the announcement, we recently released a new game for Adult Swim called GODBALL that we spent over a year developing. The best way to describe it is pinball meets Sim City meets Rampage, and we're really happy with how the game turned out. There's even a built-in level editor so you can create your own cities to annihilate! You can learn the full story behind making Godball HERE.

Now for the big update news; when Godball first went live, it was only available for PC users, but I'm happy to announce that we just launched a build for Mac users as well! So download Godball now (it's free!) and destroy some of the most beautiful cities in the world, because that's exactly what an omnipotent being would do in his/her spare time, right? Right.

I really hope you all enjoy Godball, as we put a ton of work into making it happen. If you know anything about game design, isometric style games are not easy to make, so kudos again to Jacob and Pox for working with me to make it happen. Be sure to let us know what you think of Godball once you've had a chance to play it. It takes a lil' while to get acclimated to, but once you learn the game and start upgrading your stats, you'll see just how crazy and chaotic the action can get. Enjoy!

For those of you who are fans of the show, I was recently on another episode of Screen Junkies' "Movie Fights", and we had some hilarious debates once again. We discussed the new Captain America: Civil War trailer, what movies deserve animated spin-offs, what movie characters would you want to be stuck in a bunker with, and much more. Easily one of my favorite episodes we've ever done and can't wait to debate again. You can watch the full episode here:

Yeah, That Exists - Episode 6: Revealing The Face Of Dr. Claw!

It's been a while since I shot a new episode of Yeah, That Exists, so I figured it was high time I do a new one, and I think I found the perfect subject matter. If you were ever a fan of the classic Inspector Gadget cartoons on Nickelodeon, you're well aware that they kept the face of Dr. Claw hidden for the entire run of the series. Years later, Tiger Toys produced a line of Inspector Gadget toys, including a surprise action figure that actually revealed the face of Dr. Claw! Check out my newest video to learn all about it, and listen to my impersonation of Dr. Claw himself:
