Neverwinter Nights Machinima!

[Tawmis]

Nameless over at the NeN Forum made a fan video Top 10 Reasons Peter > Grayson (8.8 Megs... Right Click, Save As...)

It's pretty damn funny. The Sexuality and #2 were my favorites...

In other cool, Neverending Nights related news, our Music Master himself, Travis Richards has made it to the front page of IGN’s NWVault with the music he created for Neverending Nights! You can read more about it here.

The second - yet very brief - episode of Season Two has arrived! At a mere 12.1 megs in size - don't blink when you watch this one or it might pass you by! But don't worry, the episodes get longer. We're just starting off the new season - so each one is setting something up! Just wait! (Well, because you have to!) Later episodes will definitely get longer! But let's not discuss the future! We're in the now! And right now, Episode 23 - Oh How I Treasure... Treasure?! (12.1 Megs, Right Click Save As...) is available for download!

Now while the episode may be brief - doesn't mean your thoughts and comments have to! Fire away after you have watched it!

And Bonus Question: Does anyone know what it is that Peter picked up at the end? (If not, you will find out soon enough... it comes into play later!)

You can also comment on our forum.

Well, this is it! This is where our heroes part ways with Dean the Dragon and officially begin their new quest to rescue some maiden in distress! This episode is brief, and not really full of funny - as it just sets up our heroes taking off from Dean the Dragon! But there's some subtle foreshadowing here of things to come! (Okay, some of it is about as subtle as being hit with a baseball bat...)

Short. Quick. Fast. Easy.

No, I am not talking about Pawl the Dorf.

Because, then I'd have to include "Dead."

What I am talking about is Neverending Nights - Episode 24: The Watchful Eye. (Right Click, Save As...) A mere 16.2 Megs to download! Hardly anytime to download! Hardly any room on your hard drive! And yet it's another priceless dose of Neverending Nights!

So go on. Don't be afraid. Download it.

Thanks! Comments, good, bad, and down the middle are always welcomed.

(Yes, I know "Too Short" will be one of them! Addicts... the lot of you!)

With the increasing popularity of Youtube.com, we at FNBH Productions have finally jumped on the bandwagon and created an official Neverending Nights profile on Youtube.

So if you don't have the time, bandwidth, or whatever - you can watch all the episodes of NeN on Youtube.com. I highly recommending Subscribing to the Neverending Nights channel so you can be notified of when new episodes are uploaded. Also the more subscribers we get, the higher it pushes us up the chart. We're currently #25 for most subscribers for the week! Help us push onward and get us up there!

(I feel like I am talking to myself in here these days...)

So Close, But So Far Away! So I was filming Episode 25 tonight (I find I function better when not under the influence of prescribed Codeine) - and was powering along and liking what I was doing. (Not to mention, filming Episode 22, 23, and 24 - I have been learning some tricks in NWN1 that I think is going to enhance things!) - anyway - as I am sitting there filming - suddenly Fraps stops capturing. And I can't figure out what happening. Finally I ALT TAB out of NWN1, and get welcomed by a message where my computer is essentially screaming for mercy - because I only had 13 Megs of free space. Yes. Thirteen MEGs You see, Episode 25 has a lot of scenes in it. So now, with still a page and a half to film - what was I to do? Well I ended up UNinstalling a lot of programs that I rarely used to make SOME room. Then I launched our conversion program of choice, which is River Past's Video Cleaner and began converting the 60 scenes I had thus far shot. (Naturally not all the scenes make it - some are the same scene filmed from different shots, to either pull from both, or to see which ones comes out better kind of thing). Now if you have used Video Cleaner, you know the conversion process takes a very long time (the only downside really to the program, as it's pretty nifty and has fixed corrupt videos I have had before). So I am basically going to let that run all night, and all day tomorrow (and probably all night tomorrow). Then finish up filming on Saturday (even if it's not done by then, there will be clips I can delete to make room for more filming).



(Of course, it doesn't help that I burned ALL of my CDs onto my PC and have 38.8 Gigs of music...) Just figured I'd give a wee update.



PS: As always, going to push the Youtube Channel we have these days. We have jumped up to the #4 slot for the Most Subscribed (This Week) - Comedians This can be discussed in this thread.

[Fuzz]

This thread is still going? Holy shit. Does anyone other than this Tawmis guy actually read it?

[Redemon]

I read and I watch, its a pretty good Machinima in my opinion

[Tigg]

Well, it's a form of spam I guess since he's not an Avlis player and it's clearly cut and pasted (except for the observation that he's talking to himself) but hey at least it's not porn! And NWN is a community, I suppose... especially as time advances. Actually now that it's on YouTube I might watch some more episodes sometime over dinner or something.

This thread is still going? Holy shit. Does anyone other than this Tawmis guy actually read it?

I would hope so. Or all my efforts are in vain!

I read and I watch, its a pretty good Machinima in my opinion

Phew. Well one out of ... MANY... isn't uh... bad.

Well, it's a form of spam I guess since he's not an Avlis player and it's clearly cut and pasted (except for the observation that he's talking to himself) but hey at least it's not porn! And NWN is a community, I suppose... especially as time advances. Actually now that it's on YouTube I might watch some more episodes sometime over dinner or something.

By all means, if you guys would like, I can stop with the updates.

I don't mean it to be a form of spam at all. It is as you pointed out - I just went around to other NWN related sites, and posted about NeN (since it's NWN related) to see if these people had a common interest. And I was even careful to try and post it in the right sections of the forums (some forums have just the general chatter, some have for jokes, some have for NWN related videos, etc).

So I do try to get things in the right spot.

Again, if you want me to quit with the updates - more than understood. By now everyone knows the website and can check their on their own if they would like.

Let me know.

I do take the time to answer any questions, comments, etc anyone makes (like right now!) on a wide variety of forums. I really care about what we do and love hearing feedback, good, bad, down the middle, it doesn't matter to me! I love addressing that stuff.

And along those lines... last update if you guys want...

At long last, it's here! The next juicy installment of Neverending Nights! I know, I know! You guys are starving for the episode! Well, fine, fine - I won't go into too much detail about someone making a return with this episode, and there's something with a map, and a campfire, and being lost, and... Well, this episode has it all! Neverending Nights - Episode 26: Reunited And It Feels So Good (Right Click, Save As... this one is going to cost you 45.1 Megs on your precious hard drive)!

By all means, leave all the feedback that you want - good, bad, down the middle. We want to hear it.

This episode’s thread generated some great convo! Is NeN as funny? Is it doomed? What are our plans? Come check out the thread on the website!

[Tawmis]

Weighing in at 26.1 Megs is the newest episode of Neverending Nights to hit the block (or the web, in this case!) Neverending Nights - Episode 27: Even Ghosts Get Racial Benefits. (Right Click, Save As...)

Comment away - good, bad, down the middle - let's hear it.

[Tawmis]

Last one I mentioned here was Episode 26... but we're on Episode 30 now. So I will spare you the links, and just say they're available on our site, in the video section at: http://www.neverendingnights.com

But to prove we're more than just "spam"...

Neverending Nights sees print in...

... Machinima For Dummies. And no, I am not kidding. You can also check out Machinima for Dummies.com Now, I know book sales are going to spike just because we're mentioned in the book. We're mention on Page 260, Second Paragraph.

Now, Hugh - while we were moved and loved the mention - while you're reading the book again...


Hugh Hancock reads Machinima for Dummies...


Could you next time check with us on one small, tiny fact?

Man, we didn't originally make NeN from OUR BEDROOM! It was from the GARAGE, man! The GARAGE!

Yeesh. Now we sound all gay. Sure, we act gay all the time. But now it's in print that we sound gay too. (And not that there's anything WRONG with being gay - but we really aren't!) And a GARAGE sounds far more manly! And we're manly men!

Oh well!

There's no such thing as bad publicity.

Maybe our popularity will spike in San Francisco now?

[Tawmis]

Neverending Nights - Episode 31: Side Effects May Vary (Right Click, Save As... 70 Megs on this one!) This episode is just shy of 7 minutes long, and weighs in at nearly 70 megs! (So on average, 10 megs for every minute of NeN goodness! And that's a nice diet, any doctor will tell you that!) In this Episode, our heroes feel the need to get more coins, rather than use the fine jewels (500 gp!) they got from the dragon! Also, Pawl the Dorf's reincarnation is at hand!

And if that isn't enough - Andrea, Daniel and the Goblin Posse emerge from the Dragon Cave - in yet ANOTHER location - so are they right behind our heroes or a million miles off?

My bet? They're right behind our heroes - having figured out yet another short cut! (How come villains always know short cuts?)

*starts watching obsessively*

[Tawmis]

*starts watching obsessively*

Yes! See, now THAT'S what I'm talking about!

As you watch, by all means, give feedback - good and bad! I love it all!

Oh, and speaking of watching... Pizza Delivery... in the form of a new episode!

Neverending Nights - Episode 32: Employment Opportunities (Right Click, Save As... to begin the 63 Meg Download of NeN Goodness). Peter manages to strike up an idea that Grayson can actually get behind... but will this plan backfire on them? What could come of it? Well, that's for a later episode! So to prevent from getting confused - download this one now and watch it so it all makes sense later!

[Tawmis]

And in the event you're still "watching obsessively"...

Neverending Nights - Episode 33: There Be Pirates! (Right Click, Save As... 44.1 Megs of NeN Goodness!) This episode Peter and Grayson (well mostly Peter) shares a tale of an "untold adventure" out on the high seas... where there happens to be... well, Pirates! (I know, a surprise right, considering the name of the Episode?) Peter the Ranger will become the new "Jack Sparrow" of the Pirate World... You just wait and see! Download this episode and check it out!

Yo Ho, Yo Ho... A Pirate's Life... For me....

[Tawmis]

Neverending Nights - Episode 34: Barking Up The Wrong Tree (Right Click, Save As... 37.3 Megs) is what we call a "filler" episode. Not much happens in this episode. So why download it? Well, because it feautres the talented Peter the Ranger. I think it also has Grayson the Fighter, Pawl the Dorf, Evil Foo, the Bartender, and maybe another voice or two in there. Admittedly, not the funniest episode, but an episode that had to be done! This episode is also pretty short. It's around 3 minutes in length or so? So it won't be a long download, and since it's not too funny, it won't be too terrible to endure! So go on and download it! The pleasant sounds of Peter the Ranger's voice are waiting for your ears! (And that sexy, pixelated body, is ready for your eyes!)

[Tawmis]

Neverending Nights - Episode 35: This Is Bull$#!+! (Right Click, Save As...) This one is 35.6 Megs in size, and is what I like to call a "Set Up" Episode. It's sort of like when you're playing volley ball, someone sets up the ball, and the next person comes and spikes it. Not that there will be any spiking (other than spiking the punch), but this episode sets up jokes and events for the next couple of episodes (because Pawl actually keeps the newest body he gets in this episode for a few episodes!

[TryAgainNow00]

I finish watching it.

[Tawmis]

I finish watching it.

Then how about a new episode?


Pick your poison.

There's TWO versions of this episode. In this episode, a new "language" is spoken - and there's a version that includes subtitles, and one that doesn't. Are the subtitles needed? Not 100% - if you speak "English" because you will be able to make out what's being said. But if you have your doubts, there's a subtitle version as well.

Personally, I like the one sans the sub titles, because there's no words getting in the way of the footage!

Heck, download both if you want - and give your thoughts on them! I managed to crunch them down from 106 megs down to:

Episode 36: Mind Over Matter (Now That I Don't Have A Mind, It Doesn't Matter). This episode has Peter, Grayson and Pawl taking their leave of Blackmire City - but after traveling for several miles (and day turns to night), what they encounter next, may make them wish that they hadn't. But Andrea and her crew are hot on their tails!

No Subtitles 82.7 megs (Right Click, Save As...)

With Sub Titles 82.6 megs (Right Click, Save As...)

[Tawmis]

Okay, with everything sorted out with the host provider (I really do question some of the changes they made, but whatever...) - we're now able to successfully upload the videos to our own site. So now, you can grab Episode 37: Crime Does Not Pay right here (by doing a Right Click and Save As...) and it will now download from our site, instead of PirateBooty.net. The episode that had been upload to PirateBooty.net is going to be taken down in mere moments. So once again, get your Neverending Nights - Episode 37: Crime Does Not Paygoodness from right here!

In the Episode 37 thread on the forum mentioned that a portion of the audio was "off." While I explained how it was supposed to work, I could see your guy's point. So what did I do? A small tweak. I made a version 2.0/B of the episode. Wait. What? Didn't I just explain for a whole paragraph above about the episode?! Yes. But I figured, I'd let people get both versions. So if you'd like to see the "tweaked" version - you can download that also from our site! Neverending Nights - Episode 37: Crime Does Not Pay (Version 2B).

I also uploaded it to Youtube... So both versions of the episode are available there as well.

The original is found here while the "revisited" one is here.

Definitely swing by the Episode 37 thread on the forum and let us know which one you liked better (it's a very small tweak, but can - apparently! - make all the difference in the world!)

And of course, I highly recommend subscribing to our Neverending Nights Youtube Channel.

While this episode has the original Neverending Nights intro back on it - don't worry - we have not released Travis Richards from our dungeon! He's still very much our main go to guy for music! And he always will be! (Whether he likes it or not! Or else we don't feed him anymore!) So definitely swing by Travis' page and check out all the music for NeN he's made - and so very much more!

Also remember - Travis threw together a Neverending Nights Soundtrack which you can purchase! All the profit to the soundtrack goes to him, so it would be a GREAT way to support Travis! So by all means, please do purchase the soundtrack!

Also, if you're new to us - you can check out the Character Profiles and familiarize yourself with the characters of Neverending Nights!

[Tawmis]

At long last it's here. This episode is actually pretty big in many ways. Well, namely file size (93.7 megs) and pretty long in length (without the credits it is 6 minutes and 2 seconds long - with the credits, 7 minutes and some change).

So you wanna download the episode?

Well, download Neverending Nights - Episode 38: Mandatory Flashbacks and let us know what you think.

[Tawmis]

After many delays! We're back! And almost at the end of Season Two! Two more episodes after this and we're done! But you probably don't care about that! All you care about is THIS episode.

So I will get to it.

Neverending Nights - Episode 40: Something's Not Quite Right... (48.6 Megs in size, about 5 minutes and some loose change in length). This one introduces a few characters (only to appear in this episode! Whoo hoo, right?), plus shows Andrea and company closing in! It's got the goblins and some chatter with them! And Grayson has a heart to heart talk with Peter! And for all of you wondering WHEN Grayson found out it was his sword talking to him - it's mentioned here! (Now will Peter and Pawl believe him?) Anyway - please download - hopefully enjoy - and by all means tell others about it! Whether you blog, go to other forums, tell some friends at school - hell, even tell family members! Get the word out!

And comments, good, bad, and down the middle, as always, are appreciated and desired. And by all means, feel free to visit out site - come by - join the forum! You will find we're a fine, fun, loose bunch! There's no tyranny of moderators or anything! We're all there to have a cool time and just chat about anything under the sun!

[Tawmis]

Neverending Nights - Episode 41: Something Wicked This Way Comes (Right Click, Save As... 95 megs of NeN Goodness!) The episode itself is 5 minutes and some change. The ending credits have a little something extra! So be sure to hang out for the credits at the end! This is the last episode before the last! (What?) So things are coming to a boiling point...!

Be sure to check it out and comment here!

[Tawmis]

Neverending Nights - Episode 42: Oh Mother Dearest - weighing in at 60 megs, this is the final episode of the season. I look forward to hearing the comments this episode may generate...
