Happy 2018! New Write Ups and a New Trailer

Happy New Year everyone! Here's to a great 2018 for The Red Squirtle! It's nice to be back to the blog it's been a while. Without further ado let's review the last main episode: Episode 33: The Thirty-Third Episode We've Done. If you thought Episode 32 was strange, well we're just going all in for this here.
  • Before the actual recording of this episode we had a long chat about how this affected our series as a whole. We described the series of being in several layers. The bottom layer is the story of Red and his Pokemon on this wonderful journey. The second layer, which we have seen a few times prior to this episode, is where the characters are aware this is a show that they make. So they'll have a director and Red and co are all actors, but they still live in a world where Pokemon exist. The next layer, introduced in this episode, is where this is all a show done by voice actors. Red and co are not aware of their existence. The next layer is one that emulates our real life, where it is us writing the show, but we know its part of the show and didn't actually happen in real life. Lost? Yeah so are we.
  • I named one of our fake voice actors after a friend of mine who actually started listening to the show.
  • This is also the first episode where we did a little bit of stereo play. I felt it fit in with a nightmare sequence.
Next we can talk about our Halloween episode: Episode H:Corrupted File.
  • Clearly based off the popular creepy pasta where the player gets a ghost who can kill any character and Pokemon. A perfect tool for Red.
  • In case you didn't know the song used for the montage was an instrumental version of "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen. A perfect fit.
And finally our Holiday episode. Episode H: By the Fire 2.
  • Just like the first one we did a few years back, this one had a rhyming section, a musical section, and a final story.
  • Even though we released this around Christmas time, it wasn't completely a Christmas special.
  • Recording the song portion of the episode was very difficult because we couldn't stop laughing t how ridiculous we all sound.
Alright and now for the most exciting part. The next trailer!!!


Coming this Friday! Until next time!
