Tonight at 6pm PT / 9pm ET the 10th Annual Streamy Awards is taking place and ERB are actually nominated in three categories - Show Of The Year, Scripted Series & Writing.
Earlier this week Lloyd spoke to the Streamy's and you can watch his mini-interview above. He keeps it very real. ;) We don't think we will take home an award this evening but it's always nice to be nominated. Hope you enjoy the little video.
If you want to watch the show head over at 6pm PT to: 2020-12-13 01:01:47 +0000 UTC

Hello patrons! Hope you've all been enjoying the new battle. We just want to drop you an old audio demo from way back in May/June! Jeez, that feels a long, long time ago. The writing process for this Lego battle was very long; with constant rewriting going on.
The audio demo contains a 1st verse for each character and Lloyd voices both Luke and Harry. Most of these lines ended up being discarded during the writing process. Some ideas survived. We thought you'd like to hear how the verse...

Since December 1st there have been issues in the way Patreon and Discord are communicating which is causing problems with patrons being unable to access the server.
I have reached out to Patreon and I am waiting to hear back from their tech support. I think it will be a problem that they need to resolve at their end.
In the mean time I have had to remove a bunch of you from the server (who didn't have active roles: i.e. crew, writer, director) to attempt to resolve the issue.

Howdy Writers & Directors! It's already been three weeks since the Trump vs Biden battle was uploaded. Time's flying by. So, just wanna give you a quick update on where we are at. We've been working on multiple tasks over the past few weeks.
The Election behind the scenes video has had to take a bit of a back seat as we continue to work on the Lego battle. But we are hopeful to have that behind the scenes ready later this month. Just not sure when. We just didn't want to spend...

Here is a third demo from the election writing sessions. This one is a Bernie Sanders demo back when we were contemplating bringing him in as a third party to finish the battle.
Whilst Bernie has always felt like he could be the right kind of character to work well in a ERB, we just were never happy with the writing or how his inclusion would effect the balance of the battle.
We could have developed the verse further, but it always felt like a 1vs1 setup was the answer...

As news breaks today concerning Trump's defeat in the US Election, we just wanna share a short video with you all, where we finally get to see he has a real soft centre behind all the bluster. He may return for a fourth appearance in ERB in the future, but don't count on it.

Hola! Here is a second demo for your ears. This time around (compared to Demo 1 which we shared with you previously) we had decided upon the 1vs1 structure and all the lyrics are very much fleshed out. No mumbling in this one!
The essence and feel of the battle was in place. That said, a lot of the lyrics you'll hear in this demo ended up discarded as we continued to rewrite and tweak the lines. In various parts of the demo you'll even hear Lloyd voicing Biden parts.

Hello fine patrons!
Hope you all enjoyed the new Election battle. This one was a long journey for us. There were times it felt like it might not even happen. But we kept plugging away and we are really happy with the final video.
But, here's a demo we developed when we were exploring the idea of bringing in extra characters into the battle. Trump would have had only one verse. Followed by Biden with one verse. But then we'd have the two VP candidates join, follow...

Ok... the burning question: "When is the "Trump vs Biden" battle coming out"?!
The guys have been cranking. Still lots to do. But it's been going well so far. We've always intended uploading it as soon its finished, rather than waiting for an exact upload date.
Our hope is that it will be ready to be uploaded sometime between the 24th-25th-26th October. We just need to avoid any issues between now and then! So, please do keep saying your pr...

Happy to announce we have been nominated in three categories for the upcoming Streamy Awards which will be held in December which you can all watch on YouTube.
The three categories are: "Show Of The Year", "Scripted Series" and "Writing".
We've not released anything in 2020 so far BUT the awards take into account our battles from the latter half of 2019.
I guess we'd better make these next two videos pretty damn special!
