I've been a fan of PP since late 2005 and their brilliant work has inspired me to make my own web series about video gaming. I know there have been a lot of PP copycats out there, but we are not one of them. PP was the inspiration for this series, but our storyline is very different. We have developed a nice plot and are planning on a 18ish episode season (we are currently shooting ep. icon_cool.gif. It's been a lot of fun filming so far and I hope some of you will enjoy it.

You can check out the trailer at www.progamergauntlet.com. The first episode premiers on May 1st. Let me know what you guys think.

I think this is the first time I've seen a user created web series sort of thing that doesn't look like complete garbage. Looking forward to seeing an episode.

I thought it was an actual documentary of a real attempt at being a pro gamer. Good job, keep us posted on when the first ep comes out.

Hi eafkuor!

We are working on the forums ATM, trying to keep spambots out and the like...
So, for the past couple of days, I've had to manually approve each post. But, we've got a better system that we're putting out tomorrow.

Thanks for the feedback though, I much appreciate it.


Also, thanks to everyone for your opinions. We've released another promo.

Episode 1 comes out Saturday.

- Paul

Glad to hear that you guys enjoyed it!

Episode 2 will be released on May 15th.

We are actually filming episodes 8 and 9 right now, so we've got a lot of buffer room. We filmed episode one back in August, so we've had a lot of time to develop and grow too.

Also, we are going to release shorts based on the characters in the episodes as well.

It had a few funny parts.

the guy with the long hair's voice is annoying. sorry.

I want to like this but it just seems to be trying too hard. You get an A for effort, but the execution is a little off. I hope it get's better, it has promise, but some of the delivery of lines was cringe worthy. It's too bad this is basically a pure pwnage clone. I mean honestly it's exactly the same with different characters plugged in and a slightly different storyline. Same concept. You've basically Americanized pure pwnage.

Roger is an americanized Jeremy

Longhair guy is a noob mixed with dwight shrute from the office

the other character we haven't seen yet is basically kyle.

Did I miss something here? I'm not trying to be negative here or be a fanboy for PP. Just pointing out some observations.

I will keep watching, maybe it gets better. As Jeremy would say I guess it liek doesn't toly lick muh ballz.

I'd be inclined to close this for advertising, but since its gotten such a popular response, I guess it's ok. Will watch it soon icon_smile.gif

Also, I'm going to move this to USER VIDEO CREATIONS, since PP FAN ART is for art of PP, not art by fans of pp.

  • Interests:Sup, I've been watching the show for a long time and in fact did register an account in September 06 but such a thing has been lost so here I am with a new one.<br /><br />In actuality I don't play a hell of a lot of games. I play many a game, but in comparison I may seem perhaps on the ghey side of things. I mean I don't play WoW, I rarely play CS these days, but you know, if I had time... Still enjoy me all the wrestling games, I love the Mario games and am loving my Wii (roflcopter?) and 360 and all of my wonderful consoles. Like I said, with more time, there would be more play, but with less time, less play, its a sad story really..<br /><br />Anyways hopefully I'll use this account more then my last. I hear the forums are where the real parties at so may as well contribute.<br /><br />I love your work Geoff, Jarrett and the whole crew and damnit, bring a premier to Aus~!<br /><br />Laters.<br /><br />
Enjoyable debut ep. It was a respectable length and was fun to watch, pretty good characters too. I mean Paul is pretty much doing the Kyle thing, Roger fits the main and is a funny dude, Brandon makes a good best friend kinda guy.

Fair awesome to hear you have lots of episodes done and are still going, its a shame when projects fall on their ass after a while. I'll be watching episode2 and beyond.
