Site DOD:S Machinima

[Ennui]

Yeah, I think we'd all much prefer making a serious dramatic film here - but if all goes well with this, a comic series in the future might be fun

 

[Dalamari]

We could really use some more idlers in #dodmach, people....

 

[Absinthe]

I'd also prefer a more humorous take, but seeing as how I'm in no way part of this, I don't really have much of a say.

As for the the IRC channel, here's roughly what transpired during my visit.

-Random BS.
-Cake and the war of 1812.
-Dalamari realizing that the General Off-Topic forum supports IMG tags.
-Discussing the posting of goatse.
-Ennui threatening us.
-Dalamari learning that Ennui is a mod.
-Dalamari heavily cussing out Ennui.
-Everybody leaving.

Productivity!

ehh a few days ago me, beerdude, ennui, timmy, got some decent ideas for music going. we just need to know certain times to be on so we can discuss things we need done

 

[ailevation]

Everytime I go to the IRC channel, nobody is there!

I think you all are trying to avoid me :| ...

Quick, he's on to us! :sniper:

 

[Sloth]

Doing both a drama and a comic series sounds cool, i'll help with the extreme stuipd humor, not that any of us need any help.

 

[bvasgm]

I ask again.

Are there any specific times you guys are working on this in the IRC channel?

 

[Sulkdodds]

Everytime I go to the IRC channel, nobody is there!

Actually, I was there, but by the time I alt-tabbed to IRC you had joined, remarked that nobody was there, and left.

Not really. Eveningish GMT?

 

[Razor]

I can help if you need an extra...like some German dude #534 or anything. I would love a starring role as well like Rommel .

 

[Absinthe]

I want drunk Axis soldiers on the busted tank on dod_donner.

"Achtung, vee have Allied Schweinhunden approaching! Open fire!"
"Nein, Franz. Ze tank is broken!"
"Scheiss drauf! Load ze cannon then!"
"Vee have kein ammo, Franz!"
"Mein Gott, does ze Reich give us nutzing?!"
"Ja, Franz. Ja."
"Ach, es ist verdammt! Pass ze Jagermeister!"

 

[Sulkdodds]

The following dialogue will probably feature:

HANS: "...yaaa, aber du leben im Schwulemclub."

FRITZ: "Haha! (stereotypical gay voice) Oh! Das ist jaaaaaaaa Krass! Hahaha!"

ADOLF: "Sehr lustig. Es ist nicht deine bier."

Or something.

 

[Absinthe]

"Yes, but you live in Gayclub."
"That is very obvious."
"Very good. It is not your beer."

That's the closest I got out of it.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Not quite.

"It's not your beer" is apparently German slang for 'none of your business." :O

edit: "yes, but you live in a gay bar."

"Hahah! Oooh, it's so big!"

"Very funny. It's none of your business."

 

[Absinthe]

Crazy Germans and their non-sequitirs.

 

[Dalamari]

I think we can delete this topic, seems like nobody is ever in the channel and nothing is really getting done

 

[Vegeta897]

I'm in the channel very often.

Ennui is finding a server.

Keep your clothes on Dalamari!

 

[Absinthe]

Is there actually an organized team in place? Because I would expect the IRC channel to be designated for them. There's not much point in being an idling spectator.

 

[Sulkdodds]

I'm the only one in dodmach D:

 

[Absinthe]

We can be alone together! Under the watchful eye of Axyon. Who may or may not actually be there.

 

[RipperRoo]

I'm still interested if we ever get anything together.

 

[Evo]

What Ripper said, i'll be getting DoD:S next week when i get paid, so count me in then

 

[Ennui]

Stop acting like it's dead people, the only reason this will die is if you all kill it, I'll make it by myself if I have to.

Server update: My clan leader says that he needs to consider it and in a few days he's doing some reorganization work on our server so he'd be in a better position to maybe help us out.

Grab him by the dick and tell him to get us a server or else.

 

[Ennui]

One of our team members has delightfully caused TFG to leave the project (I won't say who), but that's not a problem and work will go ahead. I'll start recruiting people for the first episode's actors soon.

oh yeah, and this is my six thousandth post. I'm not sure whether to be embarrassed or proud

 

[baron insig]

woooooo!, okay what is the irc chan annndd i have DOD:S working now

idea: comedy based machinima: save hl2.net HQ from zee nazis!

get someone to map hlt.net into like omaha beach or osmething and work form there

 

[Ennui]

#dodmach on quakenet.

 

[The Monkey]

Only Axyon is online.

 

[Ennui]

I'm in now.

I'm thinking maybe we should downsize the project. A long episodic series is a massive undertaking and I think we should try for a short film first (5-15 minutes). What are your thoughts on this? I'd rather finish a short project than abandon a long one. After we've done the short film we can see where we want to go next.

 

[Beerdude26]

I concur. But first we have to much around a bit and decide roles

 

[Ennui]

I'll be directing; that means I may also handle some or all of the cinematography work. I might have to edit it as well if I can't find someone else to.

 

[Sulkdodds]

One of our team members has delightfully caused TFG to leave the project (I won't say who)

....eh?

Was it me? :rolling:

I think we should try for a short film first (5-15 minutes).

Sounds good to me.

 

[Vegeta897]

Like I said in the beginning, and what we originally planned, this should be a community project done entirely by HL2.net members.

Onward.

 

[OvA]

I'm still behind this 100% can never seem to catch anyone on dodmach though

 

[TIIMMYY]

I'm still behind this 100% can never seem to catch anyone on dodmach though

Yeah

And wouldn't downsizing the project mean coming up with a whole new script?

 

[Beerdude26]

And wouldn't downsizing the project mean coming up with a whole new script?

We could also do a certain part of the script

And I try to idle (and check) as much as I can at the channel.

 

[bryanf445]

all sounds good, a shorter project at first might be good for starting out

 

[Ennui]

Yeah

And wouldn't downsizing the project mean coming up with a whole new script?

We've only got a little basic first script for part of the first episode right now so it shouldn't be a huge problem.

 

[The Monkey]

We got a server yet?

 

[Ennui]

Not yet, still waiting on word from that from my clan. I'll nudge him in a few days if I still don't get an update.
