ViDiOTS

James and Mark explore Paris, chat up Allison Mack, play games with Billy Boyd, and give you a behind the scenes glimpse into their life on the convention circuit.

This is one of our favorite episodes because of what we got to do after the convention. Join us as we play "Chess With Pygmies," "Shakespeare Gives Me a Headache," and "Fun With Sheep." We also got to hang out with Emma Caulfield from "Buffy" and "Once Upon A Time," and about 10,000 fans!

In this episode we visit the real happiest place on earth. We'll see Eve Myles and James Leary, play Green Ranger Games with Jason David Frank, and get attacked by bicycles. Follow us as we explore the main streets and nightlife of Amsterdam.

The ViDiOTS were invited to the Bethesda offices in Lyon, France (Arkane Studios) to hang out with the team and get some pointers on Dishonored 2. A little sightseeing, some existential scares, and great gaming!

This episode is in Richmond, VA where we both try to "blend in" by experiencing our beautiful South. Maybe our accents got in the way, but James gets to go to one of his favorite destinations that turns out to be something completely different than what he expected, while Mark gets to see one of his biggest (weirdest) dreams come true! Maybe we should have gotten a tour guide for this one because

"Storming the Castle" finds us in Edinburgh, Scotland attempting what generations of English Kings failed to do; gain entrance to Edinburgh Castle. We had no horse or cannon, just a sweaty map that I kept in my back pocket. Nevertheless, armed only with charming American ignorance, we set out. We are happy to report that we were not executed.

AKA Plano Through the Looking Glass, this episode finds us kicking around Plano, Texas. We went to visit our friend Chris Sabat (director, Dragonball Z). James asked him for help in recording a voice-over reel, but really came hoping to impress him enough to score a part in his new project 'Dragonball Super'. James thought that even a small role in the new series could redeem him for 'Dragonball."

Our next episode is one of our greatest adventures yet! James and I were invited to Cyan Worlds to play the spiritual successor to one of the most iconic games of the 90's...Myst! For those of you who've played it, do you remember all those Zombies you had to kill? Me neither. Don't tell James! (More about that later...)

James has set a lofty resolution for himself in our New Orleans episode which forces him to summon a Voodoo Priestess for help. Mark discovers he has an insatiable appetite for alligator jerky, dancing like Bono, and drinking large red concoctions from Pat O'Brien's. Once again, Mark's parents will be ashamed of him for this episode. So...we're just going to release it to the universe!

This month we have the first of a series of "Very Special Episodes" for you! With the 20th anniversary of Buffy coming up in March, it seemed only appropriate to create an multi-episode arc recorded right here in our home city of Sunnydale (well...Los Angeles!).

Part 1 ended with our intrepid heroes having a bit of a stroll through memory lane. James is still enjoying some of the benefits of his Buffy success; while on the other hand, Mark is struggling a bit with his career choices.

This next episode shows a bit of change and conflict between me and James. Maybe my old friend feels a little threatened by what I now possess? Mostly he still wants to play video games...

Hope everyone has enjoyed this little interlude. We'll soon return to our regularly scheduled travel and gaming hilarity. But now...the exciting conclusion to our EPIC four-part Hollywood adventure.
