I can't believe there isn't an active thread for VGHS on TL!

Although the series is primarily focused on FPS games, it's still massively entertaining for us as gamers. I guess it makes sense, given that FPS comprises the majority of gaming interests. But I wish there was more SC or RTS based content in it. Maybe there will be!

I guess I kind of always imagined that going to South Korea as a SC:BW player would've been like going to VGHS. Heh. So without further poo:

[image loading]


Here's a link to the webseries!

Copied directly from Wikipedia because if I'm anything, I'm lazy:

Premise:
The series is set in the near future where video gaming elevates its best players to stardom by its position as the world's most popular competitive sport. One such celebrity gamer is 'The Law', a master first-person shooter player. His fame is so great that a news channel invites him to play a match live on national television. As part of the TV show he's on, they put him into a random server vs. random opponents. Given that he's the best gamer in the world, he effortlessly kills all of his opponents. Growing bored, he starts showing off and dancing around, killing people in creative and risky ways. And all goes well until a lucky shot from Brian (who came back from being AFK just in the nick of time), kills him. Making 'BrianD' the first person to kill 'The Law' . This fortunate shot earns Brian international fame as the "One Shot Wonder" and gains him a place at the 'Video Game High School' (VGHS), an elite academy for the world's top gamers. Unfortunately, 'The Law', who now bears a grudge against Brian, also attends VGHS; the Law is determined to humiliate Brian and force him out of the school.


They've only produced one season so far... And it's AWESOME! They've already begun production of Season 2 using Kickstarter as their source of funding (just like S1).

If you're a gamer then you're going to enjoy this. If you don't enjoy it, then you're just a noob! I know a lot of TL users are super elite critics, but, just watch it for what it is.. An indie production. Honestly, given how extremely tiny the amount of resources that went into this project was, the end result is really impressive.

ESPORTS ALL THE WAY!!

For fun, here's a cool infographic about the production costs and other related info for Season 1 of VGHS in spoiler (it's a long image): + Show Spoiler +

And finally, a link to the RocketJump website for VGHS for more information, behind the scenes videos, etc. + Show Spoiler +

I would also like to add a direct link to the Kickstarter since I enjoyed the first season very much and would love to see an even better Season Two!

Active thread, alright ..

I watched all of them and I can only urge you to do it too, if you ignore the teenage drama they are actually fun.

Freddiew is very good at what he does.

VGHS had a very good season 1 and hopefully season 2 will be even better!

Yeah, ignoring the teenage drama part is a given. The show itself is very fun =]

Yeah, I noticed that the kickstarter for season2 is pretty much almost completed.. They've got backers for almost all the slots filled! It's insane..

This series is so amazing. Come on TL, what do you think?

Watched it during a week gf was out of town, after I finished, felt super terrible for watching it. At least the CG is good.

I thought the first season was sort of cheesy, but I did end up liking it alright. Nice timewaster =P

I'm just gonna throw it out there.

VGHS is sponsored by;
Razer
Astro
Monster

so is Evil Geniuses.

There HAS to be something there, if there isn't I would die.
The producers have also commented on that there WILL be a RTS group in the upcoming season, mb the tie in is there? or LOL? or fgc?

I don't really care which branch but I would LOVE to see the cross over and they would be idiotic to not use the marketing machine that is EG for promotion.

I feel that a better script writer would do them good, since they already have awesome CG.

It was too childish, I felt like puking after a few episodes. Some of the subtle references were quite funny though.

The series is back. This series (so far) was pretty moving and has some tough subjects. (I like)
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

It's not like they have an advertising budget. It's like Korra. Everything travels by word of mouth.
