I think that this deserves a thread of its own. Sarky, you MUST do this. It would be all kinds of awesome. Hell we could even have webisodes where the sockies review new titles!

Realistic art is less interesting art. I could probably do up a quick explanatory video with sock puppets dressed as pirates if that'd help any further?

I think we needed off topic thread for quite a while lads? What you say? This looks like might be a great start.

Off topic threads like this let you know your fellow poster a lot better. ( great experience from motors forum ) . the better you know fellow poster, the more respect you can have for him. More fun too :pac:.

So yeah, need that sock puppet show ASAP. Maybe we will get big in youtube too! So all the drugs and alcohol on the house!

How realistic looking are the puppets going to be? I don't want to watch some crappy 16-bit animation.

Agree; it should be 8 bit animation in true old school style! Oh and there better be some Ninjas in there as well and an argument about cake!

Sarky's lack of response so far indicates he's working on this as we speak. Good man.

I'll see what I can do when I bring the lappytop home from work for the weekend.

If you want to Dropbox footage to me with instructions, I have an edit suite at home

Free editing software is generally complete tosh.

Did I mention how much I hate you? Cos it's somewhere around "with the fiery passion of ten thousand suns"...

But yes, it'll be done when it's done. And also it will make you its bitch.

Well the good news is that we entered pre-production yesterday. Casting will start on Monday, we hope to have the range of possible socks narrowed down to a manageable number as soon as possible. We managed to bag George R. R. Martin to do the script writing which is quite a coup so when we start filming in late 2014 you know it'll be a good show.

You can usually download a fully functioning trial of pro software for 30 days. Should be enough to keep you going.
