    I enjoyed part two.

    One nitpick: I think you got Chip’s last name wrong. No big deal; I don’t even know how to pronounce it, and I’m looking at it right now. It’s “Etgeton.” I think you got some cross-contamination from Aaron Pendley in there, resulting in “Chip Pendleton.” Just as good, if you ask me. Hell, it’s probably an upgrade.

    Also, you should show the good people some gameplay footage! The company may have been a mob front, but that little thing could rock pretty hard.

    Really enjoying the video blogs, Viridian! My question is, when are you and Ryan going to put together a PC version of H&M? I think we should just put it out there for free and let people play it. Would it be possible to upgrade the resolution for a PC version? How much work would be involved?

    Crap, I think you’re right about Chip and Aaron. Doh.

    I wanted to get some gameplay footage in, but I felt the video was getting too long…I’ll do some in a later video.

    Nicely done!

    I want to play a game that features a SQIRT gun, Cthulahoop, Chubacapra war, and twisted, bitter and highly sarcastic inhabitants.

    As for the video game quote, I don’t recognize it. Drat.

    I heard Chuck Pendleton, and because of that, I choose to think you amalgamated Chip and Tuck Pendleton, Dennis Quaid’s character in Innerspace.

    Still, I like Hit & Myth and I’m glad to have been a part of it.

    “Chuck Pendleton: zero defects!”

    Hey! Hey, stop film geeking out in my comments! These comments are for GAME geeking only!

    “Guybrush Threepwood: Mighty Pirate!” :-)

    Cool video! Personally, I think many of us always had our doubts about the validity of Gizmondo. I know I did. But even if I had known exactly how it was going to go down before-hand, I wouldn’t have done anything differently.

    I was serious, that sounds like a seriously fun game. What would it take to release it? Do you guys own it or what?

    It’s all in flux, which is what usually happens to an IP that belongs to a company that went out of business.

    With the first blog, I watched it to the end. And after your last quote I was thinking that it sounded like Full Throttle, but I have never played that game. I like the rest of those games, DOTT being my favorite. I may have to give Full Throttle a try. As for this one, I am thinking Psychonauts, but I am not sure. I did play that one, but it was a while ago.

    without reading any of the responses, the end quote was from Katamari Damacy, when you finish one of the levels where you’re doing a constellation.

    i know i’m kinda behind, but i’m going through all the vid blogs >_>

    You are correct, sir!
