My good buddy @vigilantefridge and I were playing pong with mashup ideas, and he ended up making this masterpiece: https://soundcloud.com/poppy-jr/who-sabotaged-the-gates-of-hell2
Then he made the brief suggestion that I do a video based on it.
I didn’t even let him know I’d taken him up on it until a rough edit was done, around 1 AM the next morning. Then we spent much of the next night working out the kinks, including the thumbnail, which he made.
Interesting note:
- Just as I wanted to make Annoyed Grunt entirely 4:3, I wanted to do the same for this one. However, I ran into some difficulties with this trailer, which was the only widescreen asset in the entire project. Basically I had to crop each shot of the trailer slightly differently to make it work. It annoys me that I had to compromise, but I doubt anyone will notice.
- A lot of people complained about Jontron appearing in the Annoyed Grunt video, because he’s been in hot water recently, so the brief clip of John Romero’s head is taken from Jon’s ‘
Top 10 Necessary Video Game Sequels’. This decision serves no purpose, and no one will ever know unless they read this.
