The last couple of days have been both tiring and kinda impressive, if I do say so myself. We’ve been shooting, launching and promoting episodes, all at the same time!

But I wanted to jump on here and invite you all to our live Transmedia twitter performance this Thursday (December 9th) at 7:00 PM EST!

Our super hero characters will be acting out a short scene in their lives from 7:00 to 8:00. We try to do three every month, that means we’ll have a performance most Thursdays at the same time.

Please join us! You can read more about what’s going on in this Thursday’s performance here on our site!

During our soft launch, we’ve been posting episodes for those of you who subscribed to our production blog here at Gopherx.net.

We thank you for watching (we really, really do!) but now that our official website has launch – pictures from the party are coming soon! – we will no longer be notifying you about each episode in this blog.

We’ll have lots of other goodies to share with you – as much as we can squeeze into our days and weeks to tell you about. So no need to cancel your subscription here.

But to continue receiving updates about each episode, go here…

The above link will take you to a page on our new site that all kinds of helpful hints to keep you on top of all the wacky super powered goings on.

There’s a new episode up today! If you just want to jump to the episode while you’re subscribing to our main website, here it is!

Episode 17 “Shopping for Super Clothes”

Robert Strovesco begins his search for Captain Euchre in the likeliest of places — The Internet.

Welcome to Episode 16!

Another Episode featuring Scott Watkins as The Plumber. The Plumber knows he has to find Captain Euchre… maybe the internet can help?

Robert Strovesco has a pleasant conservation with his Uncle Sal in an attempt to get his job back.

The Plumber tries to convince Uncle Sal to give him his job back. It doesn’t go so well.

Hope you’re enjoying watching the episodes! Do you have a favourite character yet?

The Major worries that his inactivity might not be going over so well with his wife and, naturally, he resents her for it. No matter. With the sound advice of his former cellmate Tubsy for inspiration, Faultline devises a plan to rejoin Ronin Force and restore his respectability.

We haven’t heard too much from the Major – unless you have been following him on Twitter, that is!

Last Thursday we had our first live Twitter performance. We didn’t tell too many people about it, because we wanted to use it as something as a dry run. But it does explain why the Major is jacketless in this video!

When our new website launches on November 12, it’ll be easy to peek in and see all the various elements of the show. For now, if you want to see what went down with Leopard Woman and The Major, you can click here!

Twitter Performance List

We’re still working out the bugs, so to read it in order you’ll have to scroll down until you see these posts…

It’s easiest if you look for posts from Tights and Fights. There’s less of them, so they stand out more.

We hope you enjoy today’s episode!

I just thought you wouldn’t mind us suggesting something else for you to watch.

We call Ruby Skye PI our sister web series not because they have much in common, but because we work so closely together to support each others series. We share stats, ideas, frustrations… and one’s success and triumphs are the others as well.

So, if you get a second, check it out! You won’t be disappointed.

Hold your applause until the-- Nah, go ahead!

Hola, Scott here!

It’s been a while since I last posted any actual news here – there was a lot more time to do stuff like that before we started posting episodes! We hope that you’re enjoying them, we’re pretty exciting to be sharing them with you.

But actually, we’ve got a few announcements, and they are interrelated, so I thought that I might as well put them into this one post. So here goes!

Bump Two Filming starts in December!

That’s right. The sixty episodes that we have already shot, and are currently releasing online, only takes us a third of the way through the story. We have are moving ahead on production of the next sixty!

What can you expect from them? How about time travel, monkeys, ninjas, split personalities, Fantabulous Gal as a cleaning service mogul, an evil robot invasion of Leopardia – Leopard Woman’s kingdom in the middle of the planet, The Plumber goes undercover… and much much more!

We’re going into prep in November, just as we’re approaching our official launch on November 12. Busy, busy month – we hope you think it is worth it!

Okay, on to related exciting annoucement #2!

Table Read for Bump Two is tomorrow!

For the second time, we’re gathering all of our cast and key crew together to hear all the scripts from Bump Two out loud. This is a crucial testing ground for jokes and storylines – trying to figure out what works and what doesn’t. What needs to be punched up and what needs to be left alone, even though the joke may not be fresh to you two years after you wrote it.

The table read is also a nice chance to have everyone gathered in one spot – one of the few times that this happens for our oversize, sprawling production.

We’ll let you know how it goes! And then it’s on to the punch up room sessions, where the scripts get rewritten (again) and many laughs spill out of the boardroom here at the Gopher Hole.

And speaking of writing, here’s related and exciting announcement #3!

Live Transmedia Performances Start This Week!

Some of you who follow our characters on twitter or YouTube have already noticed they have started chatting with each other, and the occasional ‘civilian.’ That’s what we call our ‘low intensity’ Transmedia activities – and we’re only just getting our feet wet with those. But this week, we’ll be doing our first, live Transmedia performance!

Because we’re thinking of this as a bit of a test run, I’m not going to give you any times or dates here. Rest assured, if you follow us on Twitter, you’ll get more info. (If you don’t – why not?) This first performance will be low key, and low stress, but as we get our sea legs you’ll be hearing a lot more about these performances – and you’ll see why we call this show the most Transmedia story ever told!

The real fun part of these performances is that you can join in! We’re looking to get our audience to be as involved with how the plot unfolds us the characters themselves. It’s like an improvised scene that anyone can be a part of! Exciting, no?

So that’s it for the announcements right now. But watch this space – there’ s plenty of surprises still to come!

Trojan Borscht has stolen a missile but has no idea where he got it from, especially since he is Canada. He names his missile Barry.

Meet Barry! Barry plays a big role in the arc of our ‘Bump 1.”

We’ve been chomping at the bit to share Barry with you since we started posting! We hope that you are surprised!

You like Bary? Let us know!

Evil Trojan Borscht is bored… Careful what you wish for!

Trivia time! First person to to go our Tights and Fights Facebook page and correctly tell us what the phrase “Going My Way” is referencing will win a signed photo of our cast!

Also, I am quite partial to the Scott Pilgrim joke in this episode. I think it is very Trojy, and quite funny if I do say so myself.

Fantabulous Gal does some serious rationalizing when she moves into her ex-boss’s apartment while DynaGal’s in the loony bin.

We finally get another check in from Fantabulous Gal! She needs a place to stay, her old boss is catatonic… sounds perfect, n’est pa?
