3A vs. Cancellation

One final self-promotion for my side project webseries The Guys in 3A (shamelessly cross-posted from Reid Levin Dot Net):

Today’s Adventure : Next Season on 3A

Today’s episode of The Guys in 3A is our last for DotComedy. It is a sneak peak of “next season,” which is in quotes because it is fictional. Special thanks to Jason Shwartz, who contributed some awesome animation to the episode.

Also, an especially big thanks to everyone who tuned in to watch the series–it’s been nice knowing that people are out there enjoying these things. We’re not sure what the future holds for 3A at this point, but we’ll let you know as soon as we do. Dave and I have enjoyed making the series, and we still live together in the real world (if not the fictional one), so there’s sure to be something new out of us at some point down the road.

You’ll be the first to know.

G4TechTV Appearance Online

Over the summer, a couple of our Iowa Training Films appeared on G4TechTV’s television show Torrent. Selected clips of the episode, including a brief introduction about us, are available to watch online. For free! What an age we live in.

The cycle is complete! We create content for the web, then it gets put on TV, and winds up back online. It’s a short cycle, that.

Christina’s Dating Life “Normal,” Despite Overwhelming Evidence To The Contrary

I have been on a series of bad dates via Better Than The Machine videos lately. I have had dates threaten me with broken glass, suck on my elbow, and tell me they wanted to keep me in a box in their basement and take me out when they need me. I just wanted to clear up any idea that these videos are somehow related to my own personal experiences with men. I have a very normal dating life.

However, if you do want to date me you should know that I love sucking elbows, I will threaten you with broken glass at some point, and it would make me feel stable in a relationship if you would just stay in a box in my basement. I will take you out when I need you though.

Any takers?
