End of 2013 Update! Feature Film Re-Uploads! Breaking Bad Parody!

Happy new year, everybody!  Usually, this is about the point in the paragraph where one would say “Wow, what a year!” or “I can’t believe all the stuff we got done this year!” and then proceed to give a laundry list of personal and/or corporate achievements, but you know, whatever man.  It’s late in the day, I’m tired, and you’ve probably read several such laundry lists by now.

Just a few quick things to bring you guys up to speed.  First of all, we recently re-uploaded some of our old feature-length films – Day of the Tentacle, Case of the Snatched Cerebrum, and Shadow of the Pink Panther – as long continuous videos!  Originally uploaded in parts due to YouTube’s old 10-minute length rule, you can now enjoy some of our earliest work without constant interruption.  The videos have also been re-uploaded in the highest quality possible – that quality happens to mostly be 320 by 240 pixels, but hey, it’s an improvement over what we originally uploaded several years ago.

Also, we recently uploaded a short called Wrapping Bad to our secondary YouTube page.  In this screwball, Christmas-themed Breaking Bad parody, we follow Walt and Jesse as they attempt to wrap Christmas presents, and then distribute them to shady fellows on the street.  This was filmed in around one hour for our family tradition of making a surprise Christmas video, so it’s not a full-fledged, pull-out-all-the-stops Breaking Bad parody that you might be expecting.  However, we hope you enjoy it nonetheless, because we’re all Breaking Bad fans and it was fun to make!  (Make sure to subscribe to Kommander Krunchy to catch all our goof-off videos like this.)

Once again, happy new year to all, and keep your eyes peeled for the first big Ridgway Films event of 2014 – the long-awaited release of the next Earthbound episode!!!

Ridgway Films on the EarthBound Baaaash!!

In case you missed it, here’s the complete Ridgway Films segment from Fangamer’s EarthBound Baaaash!! stream (complete with the Episode 6 preview scene!)

Thanks to everyone who tuned in to watch!

Quick EarthBound Baaaash!! Update

Hey guys, the finalized time for the WORLD EXCLUSIVE Earthbound Episode 6 preview scene is Saturday, November 30th at 2:20 PST.  After the preview, the Ridgway boyz will call in on Skype to chat with you all everybody.  Read the official post here.

See you Saturday!

Earthbound Episode 6 Preview during Fangamer’s EarthBound Baaaash!

Let’s be honest:  Earthbound Episode 6 has been in production limbo for a ridiculous amount of time.  But for those few of you who are still interested in seeing the next episode, we finally FINALLY have some good news for you!

EARTHBOUND IS BACK

Two pieces of news, really.  First off, Fangamer is hosting a mega Earthbound livestream extravaganza known as the EarthBound Baaaash!  They have lots of fun stuff planned, including pizza, charity auctions, Skype calls, and of course, playing through Earthbound.  While you should tune in and watch the whole stream regardless, Fangamer will be EXCLUSIVELY premiering a preview scene from the upcoming sixth episode in our Earthbound series during the stream!!!

Tentatively, the preview scene will be aired on November 29th.  Keep an eye on our Twitter page for more updates as the date gets closer!

The second piece of news is that we’re finally ready to announce Episode 6‘s release date (sort of).  While it may look like nothing has been happening for Earthbound, we’ve been hard at work for the past several months on the gargantuan amount of animation and post-production that the next episode has required.  But most of that work has been in the first half of the episode.  And so it occurred to us that since the first half of the episode is nearly finished, whereas the last half is not, we thought:  “Why make everyone wait an additional several months to get the full episode out in one chunk, when we could release a big piece that’s already finished, and get it out there sooner?”

And so, we’re going to totally Tim Schafer this puppy, and release Episode 6 in two parts.  Part 1 will be released on JANUARY 31, 2014, and will run around 20 minutes in length.  Part 2 will be released later in 2014.

Get excited!!!  And make sure to get on the mailing list for the EarthBound Baaaash!

Fun with VCRs

We’ve got some cool stuff for you guys from the land of VCR tapes!  First off is something we made… it’s the universally non-demanded second chapter in our surreal, low-budget Mega Man series:
