Great news for GMO2 fans: It’s official, people like the show! The original episode of the series, “The Greatest FPS Ever”, has pulled in several hundred views on YouTube in a short period of time making GMO2 one of the more successful series ventures by Twilight Foundry Films! GMO2 will now have a new episode every Saturday!
In this week’s episode GatorAIDS writer Shoe of All Cosmos makes a special guest appearance to play the infamous Xbox Live Indie Games title Try Not To Fart, a fast-paced “button masher” where the object is to simply avoid farting. Every time you make a mistake your character lets one rip right in the middle of a date or an outing, or even worse, a wedding. We don’t claim to be above toilet humor, but honestly it’s good to get in touch with your inner child once in a while, and if the kid in you is still alive you will laugh at this game. Try Not To Fart is only 80 Microsoft Points ($1 USD) so if you pass it up you’re crazy, it’s loads of fun — so much fun, in fact, that this is the longest episode of GMO2 to date at 18:00.
Join us next week when the cast plays Sailor Moon R for the Super Famicom!
In today’s episode of GMO2 the cast sits down with Red Faction 2, a classic FPS from the PlayStation 2 era. Red Faction 2 isn’t in this show because it’s a bad game, because it is quite the opposite, it is featured in the show because it provides great commentary — something that we hope to capture with the new GMO2 series. In this episode the hosts deal with a dystopian future ruled by evils such as Nipple Man and Dongshot; but at the height of it all lies the mastermind: Paul Blart… spawning the catchphrase “I’m going to blart in your face.”
This episode of GMO2 was actually the first one we taped, and we taped it as a “test” episode because we wanted to try out the equipment which had been in storage for several months beforehand. After tuning things to the levels we deemed suitable we shot this episode to see how it would all work together. If it failed, no biggie because we wouldn’t lose anything “good” and in the end things worked out good enough that the footage from that episode worked great as its own episode!
GMO2 (The Godmode: On II Project) is just a test idea we had for a commentary show that retains all the energy and humor of its predecessor, except without the display similarities that make it look like other shows currently popular online. With Broken Pixels taking the fullscreen “reflection” view and Video Games AWESOME playing with the angled view and cast greenscreened in the corner, we decided to take it half way and do the game footage fullscreen with the cast hanging out in the bottom corner as to not obscure the footage.
In this test video we sit down and play Cabela’s Alaskan Adventures for the Xbox 360, and rather than playing it like the hunting sim it was meant to be we treat it like a FPS ala Halo or Modern Warfare.
