Mail. I even set up a PO box for it.

This. I was trying to think of some macho bullshit name and liked "Bro Team" because it was like Protein. My roommate of the time was also trying to help me out with a title. I asked him how "Bro Team Supplement" (LOLLERS) sounded. He said, "What about Bro Team Pill?" That was it. Beats the original title of "Neat Encounters". Seriously.

Still, I might do a joke intro with these so don't tell anybody.

The first one. I play through a game and record footage that I think is exploitable. I never really go looking for bugs, they seem to find me. For the Aliens: Colonial Marines video, I had no idea that trying to go into a small pool of water in a cave would cause the player to fucking clip through the wall and then be able to go on a LEVEL DESIGN odyssey, skipping 2 or 3 checkpoints (being an assault on some PMC base or some shit, wasn't really paying attention) then activate a checkpoint and continue the game past all that business. So you kind of have to keep an eye out for potential hilarities. That said, I don't really comb through every level of a game trying to break it. Or even go out of my way to find bugs. They just happen, and it is the best thing.

So, then I cut a story out of the footage, taking an average of 2 hours of video down to 8-14 minutes. Then comes the shouting. Then I refine the cut, and realize how fucking lame the recordings are. Then the self-loathing comes and I do a few more passes of better recordings. Then I refine the cut more.

I think it takes about 3 days to make a video, but I've been trying to take more time with them. Hard to say. I was casually working on the Space Marine video for over a month and still wasn't feeling it. It completely changed 4 times. Other times I have gone from installing a game to posting its video in two days.

It's just one dude. I really enjoy being ambiguous about this though. In the early days, I thought it was hilarious to castigate someone in the youtube comments for believing it was only one person behind this, then later implying that it is indeed only one person behind this, then later finally confirming for good that there is in fact a team involved. Now you people do that for me. Thank you. It is still funny.

Nope.

They're k.
