October 10, 2010 – 4:46 pm
As has been revealed now, we helped host the Adventure Quest Worlds’ 2nd Birthday Event. This involved our letting them use a couple of our songs—including some previously-unreleased instrumental tracks to use as background music—for a brand new web-based MMORPG. They even made us into ACTUAL GAME CHARACTERS, as well as our friend Jonathan Coulton, […]
We’re (Sorta, Kinda, a Teensy Bit) in “The Guild” This Week!
September 21, 2010 – 12:15 pm
So here’s a pretty cool thing…we wrote a song (with lyrics co-written by Felicia Day), a snippet of which appears on the latest episode of “The Guild” this week! Felicia needed an inappropriate pirate-themed song for her “Festival of the Sea” episode; being no dummy, she knew that was one of our specialties, so she […]

Or, if you’d prefer, we can tell ye that […]

September 12, 2010 – 7:07 pm
Because there just wasn’t enough going on at PAX already, we decided to make a video featuring ourselves, 68 last-minute volunteers, five geek superstars, and a bottle of water. So maybe it’s not exactly OK Go!, but we’d like to see what they could pull off with an aggregate of about six hours to come […]

Kanye New Yorker Tweets
August 3, 2010 – 2:59 pm
Yes, it’s true: Paul created the #kanyenewyorkertweets Twitter hashtag meme. We’re seriously thinking about changing the name of our act to The Meme Brothers. Hot on the heels of Storm’s #wookieeleaks juggernaut, Paul’s insomnia and subsequent Twitter exchange with Josh Cagan led him to launch #newyorkerkanyetweets, a mashup of New Yorker cartoons and Twitter n00b Kanye […]
#WookieLeaks #wookieleaks #wookieeleaks
July 30, 2010 – 3:00 am
Yes, it’s true: Storm started the #wookieleaks / #wookieeleaks hashtag meme that smoldered on and on like the Centralia Underground Coal Fire. It’s frankly a bit mind-blowing how far it’s spread. Here’s a sampling: Wired.com e-mail interview with Storm from Wednesday about how he thought of it and spread it, with the help of @shanenickerson […]

Sometimes you order a large barrel of Awesome and they accidentally send you the DELUXE MEGA-ECONOMY SIZE. That is precisely what happened at w00tstock 2.4 SDCC. An SRO sellout crowd of around 800 was utterly rocked by each and every performer, as well as a handful of surprise guests. And we know that this comment […]
