Editing is still in the works. I'm finally figuring out how to do it faster. So far the episodes are all hilarious. I forgot how dense the episodes were with hilarious moments. I don't think a single minute of gameplay went by without laughs from roleplaying. Can't wait to premiere it in January!
Missing #bb27? Well, here's the five minute trailer for House of Eyes: A Reality TV Role Playing Game. I turned Big Brother and other shows into a RPG. It's hilarious, dramatic, strategic, and competitive. Reality TV + BB works shockingly well!

Part of the problem is that UPS adds a 10$ fee for having to deal with this issue. So....it's....bad
Just ordered something through that was from a store based in the UK. I felt the price was tight after I paid the extra fees, but I was glad I got it. THEN....I got a message UPS refused to deliver it until I paid the Tarriff cost and um.....the tarrifs essentially DOUBLED the cost... its bad...

But I do have some good news too. House of Eyes is getting a season 2! 6 new players, new twists, and new strategic storylines! There may also be something else in development but its too early to talk about.
The editing process has been kicking me in the butt amd as a result House of Eyes has been delayed to January to give me a bit more time to get to where I want to be on editing before I release episodes.

Guys I lied. House of Eyes Trailer drops on Sunday. It'll be just over 5 minutes long with clips from all 5 weeks of filming. I'm so proud of the work everyone did to make this happen
The Trailer for House of Eyes: The Reality TV TTRPG drops next Tuesday. It's a Big Brother Parody with 14 episodes filmed over 5 sessions. It's hilarious, more strategic than #bb27 (theres actual alliances in the opening weeks), and dramatic. I can't wait to show it off!!
Production has wrapped. Reunion filmed too. Ended up being an hour long reunion cause there was so much to talk about. So excited to show off the hard work.

Week 4 of filming is done with both a parody of otev and a parody of zingbot. We've always now reached the final 6 and I officially no longer control npcs and the role-playing part of this game ends and next week becomes a genuine 3 hour battle to find out who wins this season.

Just filmed episodes 6-8. And just finished the perjury phase of the game, and my god what a trio of episodes. The role players are doing a super fun mix of role playing and at the same time genuinely playing hard. Theres two weeks left of filming and I cant wait to see how it ends. #bb27
#bb27 is coming to an end. It was complicated. i enjoyed watching it, but not discussing it. Still, I'm sad its over. Fortunately if you are about to have a whole for BB, ill be filling it this holiday season by releasing a BB parody called House of Eyes. A unique 14-episode tabletop rpg webseries.

I'm ready to fall in love with a new group of players all over but theres not a new cast. It makes me appreciate BBCan because we truly were so privileged to have two seasons a year. #bb27
With #bb27 complete, I feel my love of the show and these kinds of games renewed. It's amazing how deep the storytelling potential of these games is and at how it always manages to surprise me and showcase new moments each season. Yet somehow it still feels like there's deep untapped potential.

Also during night 1 of feeds, I had Ashley as my number 1 player from just the 3 hours I had. I wavered sometimes on the #1 spot, but I never wavered on viewing her as one of the best players in that house. She felt like a "Winner-potential" candidate the moment I saw her on feeds.
So surreal. #bb27

I had a conversation with Hannah Chaddah the night before the BB27 premiere and she told me "I'm worried that the experience won't turn out as she hopes." I remember telling her "She'll be fine. She seems really capable and well prepped." And here she is, having just won the season. #bb27
