Review: Impossible - Ghostbusters

Review: Impossible - Ghostbusters

Ghostbusters was an 80s pop culture phenomenon, and perfect fodder for a next-gen title for Braeden to review. But, will the spirits allow him to? Part 2 coming soon!

Small Status Update

Small Status Update

I am still hard at work on the Ghostbusters review, so bear with me as it is taking a lot longer than I anticipated. In other news, ScrewAttack.com revamped their site and added a section known as The Spotlight. And what was one of the first things on it? Well, how about my review of Indigo Prophecy? Also, just for a bit of fun, here's a picture from my Psi-Ops review on the website. Ironic, no? I should recieve compensation for free advertising (yeah right).

There is some language, so beware and what not. And for those of you wondering where my cameo is, well... I'm Bambi. Yes... I'm Bambi. Indeed.

10/25/09 Status Update

Okay, two bits of business. First of all, the Saints Row review made Awesome Blog of the Week during Transmission Awesome #32 over on ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com. This marks my third Awesome Blog, and a big shout out goes to Julien "Sad Panda" Diaz for nominating it.

Second, the next Review: Impossible, for those who don't know, will be Ghostbusters. Now, if you would like a small preview, there will be a video coming this Saturday night. It's MarzGurl's Halloween LiveShow! Starting at 7 PM on Halloween (US Central Time), MarzGurl will be hosting a 2-hour Halloween bash with special videos and content made exclusively for the show, including stuff from myself, Cferra, and Linkara! And that's just who I know about!

Be sure to head HERE to watch this awesome event!

Review: Impossible - Saints Row

Tons of people love Grand Theft Auto. Some people even like all of its knock-offs. But can this "inspiration" be just as good? Join Braeden as he plays, fights, shoots, and... raps?!

Cameo in High Fiction 2.1 (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)

Rabbi, the creator of the EXCELLENT High Fiction series, asked me to take part in the season premiere of season 2. Of course, I obliged. If me reading Twilight (ugh) doesn't make sense, I suggest you watch his review of the book:

A special thanks goes out to Jon Burkhardt, Chris Ferraiolo, Richard Rodriguez, and Nelson Maddaloni for helping me get the video fixed in time before I went insane from re-filming and re-editing

Site Update - 6/18/09

Site Update - 6/18/09

Well, things have been pretty interesting this week. That's both good and bad. First, the good. I got the Ghostbusters game on Tuesday (which should already be an indicator of how good it is right there. I hardly ever buy games the DAY they come out). I'm not going to go into details on what I think about the game, because, well, wouldn't that ruin a future episode of Review: Impossible? But, I will say I have beaten it, and I probably will play through it once or two more.

Now, for the bad. The next Top Five is going to be The Top Five BEST Console Redesigns. So, I filmed, and... rubbish. Absolute rubbish. So, I tried the next day. Rubbish. Still rubbish. Now, I'm going to film again today. I think I have the issues worked out, so it shouldn't be an issue today. So, we'll see.

Hopefully it will be up on Saturday. Also, the previous Top Five will be on YouTube on Saturday. Also, I'm going to start the process of putting all previous videos on Blip.tv for this site, that way I can keep everything on the site on the same server. It's not really that important, but I'm weird that way. Go figure.

The Top Five WORST Controllers

The Top Five WORST Controllers

The first episode of The Top 5, Braeden takes a look at some of the worst controllers ever released. But, these aren't your average bad controllers. These were ones actually BUNDLED with home consoles. After watching this, you're going to wonder, what were they thinking?

Best... Picture... Ever

Best... Picture... Ever

I have to say, this may be the best picture in the history of all drawing. Seriously it's that good.



Well, maybe I'm a little biased. Thanks Whitney for this awesome picture based on my Driver 2 review. I wish more people would do stuff like this.

Let's Play The Bourne Conspiracy - Part 2: "It's a Spaceman!"

That's right! Let's Play The Bourne Conspiracy continues with Part 2! For those wondering where Part 2 went, I kind of forgot about it, even after editing most of it. I found it earlier today, finished up the editing, and uploaded it for all to see. Enjoy!

Bourne is on the docks, trying to infiltrate the enemy. Guards, a giant, and an astronaut. stand in his way. Can Jason Bourne overcome these obstacles? Or will he fall to a... ROCKET MAN!

Nuggets: Icons of Drama

Nuggets: Icons of Drama

When I was in 7th grade, I was on a basketball team at a local church. I played for a couple of years, and we either made it to the championships and lost, or lost in the first round. Go figure. Anyways, in 7th grade, I was about 12 at the time, I took clips of some of our games, and put together the first video I ever edited. It's really funny to see how far I've come in 5 years.

New Layout is Here!

New Layout is Here!

No more standard Blogger template! Now, we have a professional layout, that is more suited for our needs. As you can see, we have several options now for following us, such as Twitter, Facebook, Digg, Stumble Upon, and even an RSS feed. These are just some ways to make sure you can keep up with everything from iPen Productions.

You may have also noticed two links at the top, iPen on YouTube, and iPen on Blip. All videos will be posted in these two locations. All videos will be posted on Blip first, then uploaded to YouTube a few days later. For videos longer than 10 minutes, however, they will be exclusive to Blip for probably around a month, until I have time to split the video into multiple parts for YouTube. YouTube has a 10 minute time limit, and unfortunately, this will mean those who follow solely on YouTube will have to wait for new content, should it surpass the 10 minute mark.

Something else you may have noticed is our new Partners section. Before, I had some links I really liked. Now, we have sites that are partners and friends of iPen Productions.

• Starbolts - a Webcomic created by Chris "Cferra" Ferraiolo. It is pixel-based, about a team of superheroes fighting evil. It may sound standard fare, but it is well written, well drawn, and all around a very entertaining read.
• NostalgiaAVGNFan - This is THE Official YouTube Channel of ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com. I've known Mat "Welshy" Williams for a bit now, and he's very talented at what he does. What exactly is it that he does? Why make official trailers for TGWTG of
  
• Wanted 4 Gaming - A podcast run by three gamers, it pretty much takes things to basics. It's fairly new and pretty amateur, but these guys have gotten A LOT better since their first episode, and have the ability to put together a bang up show.

If you're interested in becoming a partner with iPen Productions, feel free to send us an e-mail at ipenproductions@gmail.com, or through our YouTube at http://youtube.com/ipenproductions.

Review: Watchmen + New Watchmen Shirt!

Everyone is talking about the movie Watchmen. I've read the comics and seen the movie. My thoughts? And yes, I know the video quality is a bit lower. I decided since this isn't a regular video, to make it easier in editing by lowering the quality.




Plus, you can buy a new Watchmen-inspired shirt at the iPen Store! Link is to the right!

The New iPen Blog

The New iPen Blog

I've been going through a lot of troubles with the old iPen website, such as html, embedding, and what not. I decided forget it, I'm just going to use a blogging site like this one. Now, you may be wondering, what's the difference between this site, and your YouTube page? Well, I'm glad you asked!

• New, written updates you can only find here
• New videos are released exclusively here first
• New, EXCLUSIVE, videos only seen here
• Plus much more!

Now, this doesn't mean the YouTube page will be abandoned (far from it!). Usually, I release videos right after I finish making them (with a few exceptions where I just got lazy). All this means is that I will wait a day or so before uploading to YouTube. So, if you want to see the newest iPen videos early, you have to check them out here! I have new videos, series, artwork, merchandise, and more on the way, so stay tuned!

Triangles - A School Project

Triangles - A School Project

In my Trigonometry/Pre-Calculus class, we had to present two word problems involving triangles. While most students will probably do their's on a poster board, Mr. Patel suggested we try to make a video. I decided to do that, and well... I've had this skit in mine for a while now, and decided this would be the perfect time to do it. I decided to use the costume from my Track and Field review for this character. Perhaps a new series? I don't know, but for now, let's call the character Dwight. And yes, that is a Sega Genesis with a toilet paper roll, straws, and a timer taped to it.

Perseus: The Movie

Perseus: The Movie

The story of Perseus in the only way possible: a sloppy, poorly edited, piece of who knows what created by a group of students. Let's watch shall we?

This video was created under the iPen banner, with the help of Ashley Woodruff, Caroline Callaway (not Calloway), and Lisa Knight. Edited in Windows Movie Maker. Originally aired May 2008.

Caesar Lives!

Caesar Lives!

A school project that asks the question: What if Caesar wasn't assassinated? Uses the original iPen Productions logo and the Rubber Duck Entertainment name. Originally aired in March of 2008. Right after the Ides of March. Go figure.
