Maybe a day late but here it is!  Episode 2 of Thwackers.

"No Pain, No Game" - As Cat assumes the role of coach to Jakob and Mikey they begin to realize just how far she’ll push them to win.  Seriously, she’s nuts.

I’m going to take a break from the usual journal to talk a bit about PAX 2009 since it just happened.  Geoff and I made the trek across the border for 3 nerdy days to the Washington Convention Center with 70, 000 other gamers.  With our matching “Thwackers” shirts and boxes of business cards we hit the floor to promote the show.  PAX was huge, fun, and I’d say successful.  Here’s what happened…

As I warned, yes, we're pushing the Thwackers release schedule back by a week.  But we have a very good reason - we just made it better.

To the total annoyance of our post audio mixer who is delivering his audio on time, Geoff and I decided to do a bit more editing on Ep2 and 3.  After taking a fresh look we realized we could tighen things up and pick up the pace a bit.  We worked away last night and I'm really happy with the result.  So deepest apologies but we only did it to make a better show!  Trust me, it will be worth the wait.  Here's the new release schdule:

Thwackers Episode 2 "No Pain, No Game" - Monday, September 21, 2009

Thwackers Episode 3 "WiiDistraction" - Monday, October 5, 2009

In it's place this Monday I'll be posting a new journal entry all about our trip to PAX this year.  As always please follow us on Twitter, tweet about us, and become a fan on Facebook!  And thanks for your support!

I hope you’re here because you’ve watched the first episode of Thwackers and thoroughly enjoyed it.  We just thought we should give you a quick rundown of where we’re going from here.  Basically we’ve shot the first 3 episodes of Thwackers and will be releasing the next 2 in the coming weeks.  Here’s our planned schedule:

Ep 102 “No Pain, No Game” – Monday, September 14, 2009

Ep 103 “WiiDistraction” – Monday, September 28, 2009

Notice how I say “planned”.  We have the next 2 episodes well into post-production but of course we have no money and the people helping us with sound and color correction are doing it on their own time as volunteers so there’s a chance we won’t hit those dates.  But be sure to check back, we’ll let you know if something’s changed and when the next episode will be out.  Trust me, we’re doing everything possible to make this happen on time!

Otherwise look for new entries in the Thwackers Production Journal each Monday (except release days) and behind the scenes pictures from each episode the week of its release.  And as always, please follow us on Twitter, become a fan on Facebook and tell all your friends!  Thanks!
