Okay, so it’s a faux video game. But it’s so perfect it makes us long for the real thing.

Peer Production: GARBAGE
We know that this video by Pavel is really, really good because so many people on the interwebs seem to be complaining about its message. But then, we work for a guy who has a big painting named “Death by Television” on his office wall.
Don’t just wonder what we mean, watch and find out:

Adventures of a Web Series Newbie Chapter 17 – Yet Another Offer

So I took the weekend off. Since launching, I’ve been working seven days a week. That’s pretty much what it takes to do this. Especially if you don’t have a team helping. Having some time off was incredible. And relaxing. And necessary.
Played some tennis (I am a tennis fanatic), chilled out with friends, read, mostly stayed off the grid. Mostly. And magically when I started back up on Monday, it felt effortless. Now that there’s only one Chilltown episode left in Season 1 (I’m planning on relaunching the series in a secret special way in the Fall), some of the pressure is definitely off. Which is a bit of a relief. So I’ve officially decided to spend the summer taking weekends off (mostly.) To partially recharge and gear up for the Fall, which I know is going to be INTENSE. I’ll still be working on all the Lele shows and the new projects, which I’m really loving. But versus putting in about 90 hours a week, I’ll only be doing about 60.
So Tuesday morning, I wake up to another online network offer. And it was BAD.

Before I continue, I wanted to address the Clay thing. For those that don’t know, I released a brand new Chilltown episode, Clay Aiken, Weed Genie?!? and I’m really excited about it! Been getting great feedback. If you haven’t seen it, you can watch it here.
But there’s a little side story. Before I launched, I put together a few teasers and one of them was a clip from the Clay Aiken, Weed Genie show that ran about 4 seconds. I put it up on Reddit and next thing I knew, a bunch of “Claymates” were pissed. One of them claimed Clay didn’t “talk that way” and another claimed he didn’t “look like that.” I wrote back, saying, uh, this is supposed to be a parody, but they, apparently, were gravely disturbed. I actually didn’t even think I reamed him too hard. Yeah, his voice is over the top, but…IT’S A COMEDY!
Is the World Ready for an Exclusively iPad and iPhone Series?
We work hard for the money here at TVWriter™. Long hours, a brutal boss (Oh, hi, LB!), and all that reading and watching. It’s enough to drive a person mad, I say. Mad!
The other night, however, while slaving away at You Tube, searching for nuggets of gold amidst the dancing cats, we found this scary bit of video witchcraft, and it made everything worthwhile:
