Viperline has reached the 21st Century, plus a new show!
Hey everyone, checking out the site nowadays, you might have noticed something new. Our website officially has switched to embedded video players. I'm hoping this might resolve a few issues people have been having with viewing the H.264 files. The players should let everyone view all the videos in HD (at least the ones we shot in HD).
Going along with the new video players is a new video. We've been working on a new sketch comedy show called Rhode Island Vs. the World, the first episode of which is officially on the site now. We'll be releasing new episodes every Monday, so keep checking back if you like the show. Hope you like the new show, and let us know on the forums if you have problems with the players. Stay tuned and thanks for watching.

New Series, Same Hijinks
Hello everyone, on your recent visit to the site, you might have noticed a new tab on menu. I'm happy to announce the start of our new series, Survivor: Wastelands. Since Stranglethorn Vale doesn't exist anymore in our universe, continuing to call the show that would be a little dull (keeping the name while never setting foot back in Stranglethorn Vale for 23 episodes was fine apparently). With the name change, we also decided to roll back the episode numbers as well, so while this is technically Episode 31, it's Episode 1 of the new show. Regardless, you should all head over to the "Survivor: Wastelands" page and check the new episode out. I'll be starting to edit Episode 2 this weekend and I'm aiming to get it out by the end of the month. Stay tuned and thanks for watching.

Episode 30 and the end of an era
Hi everyone. In my usual attempt to get one episode done a month, I've (yet again) missed my deadline by a few days. I am happy to announce that Episode 30 of Survivor: Stranglethorn Vale has been released, check it out in the Survivor:STV tab.
This episode also ends a big chapter in the show. Since our infrequent releases do not allow us to frame our show into seasons, we go in story arcs. This episode marks the end of what I've taken to calling "The Vanilla WoW Saga". I hope you guys enjoy the episode and look forward to what's next. Thanks for watching.

Finally, Episode 28!
Hello everyone, after way too long a delay (which involved me swapping out pretty much every part in my computer) I'm happy to announce that Episode 28 of Survivor: Stranglethorn Vale has been released. We've filmed up to the climatic Episode 30, so I'll be getting to work on Episode 29 right away. I noticed on the forums that some people were asking us to put up a Youtube channel with all the episodes. That is definitely going to happen, but we are creating it as an extension of the Director's Program we're already a part of with Machinima.com, which basically means I sent them the paperwork and now they have to do whatever they do to clear it. Sometime in the (hopeful) near future, Viperline Films will have it's own Youtube Channel where you can watch your favorite Machinima series, plus some other stuff we've got planned. In the meantime, head over to the Survivor:STV tab and enjoy the latest episode. Thanks for watching.

Episode 27
Hi everyone, just letting you know that Episode 27 of Survivor: STV has been released. Go the to Survivor:STV tab and check it out.
On a somewhat sidenote, I'd like to announce that we've finally decided to join the 21st century. In the upcoming weeks, we're going to both be adding a channel on Youtube will all our videos as well as a working player on this site (so you don't have to download all the episodes now). Stay tuned, and thanks for watching.

Finally a New Episode!
Greetings everyone, first off I'm sorry for the long wait between Episodes 25 and 26. I've been having some computer problems recently that have taken up way too much of my time. Thankfully I'm happy to say that Episode 26 of Survivor: Stranglethorn Vale has been released. With any luck I should have Episode 27 and 28 done in the upcoming week (i.e. not a 3 month wait time between episodes). Go check out the episode in the "Survivor:STV" tab, and thanks for watching.

Status Report
Hi everyone, since I've once again realized it's been a really long time since I posted anything, I thought I'd give you an update. We have a couple pick up shots for Episode 26 that still need to be filmed. I was planning on doing it this week, but the snowstorm ruined any chance I had of trekking across the state. It won't be till the middle of February before we can shoot unfortunately. In the meantime, I've been working on Episode 27 as well, so the plan is to release 26 and 27 roughly a week apart (instead of the normal wait time). Stay tuned and thanks for watching.

Episode 22
Hello everyone, I'm thrilled to announce that Episode 22 of Survivor: Stranglethorn Vale has been released and is up on the site. This episode marks a few changes. Characters will be changed irrevocably, a new threat begins to present itself, and we're switching to a new file format. To accommodate our fans who are on Mac, we're jumping from Windows Media files to H.264. If you have Firefox, make sure you right click the link and "Save Link As", otherwise the video will open up in a separate Firefox window. At any rate, enjoy the episode and thanks for watching.

God Has Forsaken Us
After multiple attempts (including the ever-popular freezer trick), I am saddened and angered to report that the data on that hard drive is unrecoverable. This means we need to reshoot. We will be doing that over the 4th of July weekend, so expect Episode 21 to be out in the week or two following that. Thanks for watching (or in this case, wanting to watch but unable too because of inept producers).

The Joys of Setbacks
Hi everyone, I figured people might be getting anxious as to the release of Episode 21. We have recently hit a snag with the post production though. The primary hard drive all of the assorted files are saved on is malfunctioning. Memorial Day weekend will be data recovery weekend for us, and I am hoping we can salvage everything before I smash the drive to bits for betraying me like this. I'll keep everyone updated on the progress of the recovery and my plans of vengeance. Stay tuned.

Paypal and Us
As you regulars might have noticed late last night, I updated the site home page ever so slightly and a magic little "Donation" button appeared below our cast list. This is so that people who wish to help make episodes come out faster, better, and crisper can help us ever so slightly. It is in no way mandatory and is on a "you wanna do it, go ahead" basis. Anything donated will go DIRECTLY and unequivocally to NOTHING else but the maintenance of the website, software updates, and pizza. Thank you if you do donate. Thank you even if you don't

Announcement
Hello Internet and good day. I would like to take the time here to announce that Dan will no longer be working on the series. With the beta of Starcraft 2 being out he has slowly become addicted and last night he killed a Koren male for using a cheese tactic. The Michigan state police found him in his room under his bed saying he needed to hide from the nuclear launch that was detected. So please understand that we cannot move on without him. So the site will be shut down later today and sold to Russia. Thank you for your understanding, and have a happy April fools day.

Expect a great deal of new content to be on the site in the coming months (this entire mini-series as well as three more episodes of Survivor). Stay tuned, and thanks for watching.

Holiday Updates
Hi everyone out there, I've noticed that there has been alot of people wondering when the next episode of Surivor: STV will be released. I figure I'll give a status update as to where we are right now. Our new mini-series is taking most of my time nowadays, and I am hoping to have the majority of it done by the end of this week. After that I can start working on Episode 20. We're going to continue along with filming though, I hope to have around four episodes filmed while I'm still on Christmas break. Sorry for the delays, but I don't have as much time to work on this stuff as I used to. Stay tuned, and thanks for watching.

Who Saw This Coming?
Hey everyone, so it's been about a month since we here at Viperline Films began our partnership with Machinima.com. I always figured I knew the average size of our audience pretty well. Turns out I was completely wrong. The videos are apparently racking up far more views than I ever thought possible, so I just wanted to thank the both the old and new viewers for continuing to watch (this is one of those weird moments where I realize that people other than me actually like the show).
I figure I can give a production update here as well. I haven't started any editing for Episode 20 of Survivor: STV, both the fun of college workloads and my desire to work on our new TF2 series has prevented me from doing so. The TF2 series is progressing, I hope to have another episode pre-cut by the end of this weekend. My intent is to have the entire mini-series finished at roughly the same time so I can do a more periodic release than we have with Survivor (i.e. whenever we can make them, we try to make them). Stay tuned, and thanks for watching.

Episode 19
Hello everyone! Sorry for the insanely long time between these episode releases (take a look at the "delays" post on the forums for the full details on how busy I've been). I did want to get at least one video out right now, so Episode 19 of Survivor: Stranglethorn Vale is released and up on the site. We have Episode 20 filmed, though I will most likely focus on the Team Fortress 2 series at the moment.
On a sidenote, to those of you who have Facebook, I finally got enough time to make a Viperline Films page. Search for it and sign up, it'll be a far easier way to let you guys know when episodes get released. Thanks for watching.

Updates, Updates, Updates
Hi everyone out there, I came to the realization that it has been a couple months since I posted a progress report and my vastly overinflated ego has led me to believe that by not updating the site, I've driven the fan base to pillage, loot, and murder without remorse (I think I'm that important apparently). Well the time has come to end the anarchy. While we do not any new videos completed, we have been busy this summer. Between Survivor and the Team Fortress 2 mini-series, we've filmed seven episodes that I will be taking up to school to edit. In the coming weeks, expect to see a great deal of new content.
On a side note, I'll take the time to announce that we have partnered up with Machinima.com. We're taking part in a sponsorship program that should expand the our viewership. The release of content on this site will not change, however; videos will be posted here as we complete them. Thanks for watching.

Good News Everyone
God doesn't completely hate me (big surprise there). We were able to successfully recover Episode 17's source footage and edit logs, so I hope to have it done by the end of the week.

And Just When Things Were Going So Smoothly
Hi everyone out there, I have the great honor of informing you that production on Episode 17 of Survivor: Stranglethorn Vale is going to be delayed due to a broken hard drive. We will most likely not be able to reshoot the episode until the very end of April once finals are done. On the upside though, I figure I'll take this time to announce that we will be doing a mini-series this summer set in Team Fortress 2. Stay tuned.

Episode 13 Progress
Hi everyone, I figured I make a post about our work on Episode 13 (instead of my usual posting of one announcement a month). We filmed everything for the episode during our Thanksgiving break, but due to the fact that it's getting to be finals time means we're probably not going to have the episode finished until the end of the next week at the earliest. Thanks again for watching.

Episode 12
I love making really late night posts. In preparation for Wrath of the Lich King, I decided to get one more episode done before I forfeit whatever is left of my social and productive life to Northrend. This does mean that Episode 12 of Survivor: Stranglethorn Vale is now up on the site and ready to be viewed. Click on the videos tab, download, and enjoy. Thanks for watching.

We're Somewhere Between Awesome and Horribly Bad
So we here at Viperline Films thought that maybe the show was actually good enough to make it into some Machinima festivals. Well, we were kinda right. I just got an e-mail from the Academy of Machinima Arts and Sciences. They said that Survivor: Stranglethorn Vale was not qualifying for competition, but they are giving us an Honorary Mention for "Best Student Work" category. Survivor: Stranglethorn Vale is now an Honorary Mention winning series!
Oh, and quick update on Episode 11, we shot all the footage last weekend, and I'm starting the editing this week. With any luck, it will be up on the site by the middle of next week. Thanks for watching

New Higher Quality Old Videos
As you may have noticed, the video quality of the last two episodes has been alot better than the seven before them. We been able to expand our disk space on our hosting site so we can upload higher quality videos now. In addition, I've also re compressed the other seven episodes to the same higher quality. As for Episode 10, we've finished shooting and have started editing/recording lines. I'm hoping to have it finished in a week or two. Thanks for watching.

Forums and such
Just wanted to let everyone know that the comments page is no longer, it's been replaced by an actual forum (only took us nine months). As for episode 8 progress, I am waiting on the last audio files I need, so it should be done relatively soon. Thanks for watching.

Finally...
First off, hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. I decided to type up another update since I actually have new stuff to update. We finally got episode 7 shot last night and I can begin editing it, so hopefully new episodes will begin working their way onto the site in a few weeks. Once episodes 7 and 8 are up, we will try and finish one episode a month (as of this post I have scripts through episode 16 written). There has also been talk of possibly upgrading the site, so that we would have higher quality videos to download.

Updates, Updates, Updates
After two months of insanity, our server issues have been fixed and filming has re-commenced. The slight problem is that due to conflict of schedule, we did not have access to the normal amount of computers that we use to film. This has lead us to film Episode 8 of Survivor: STV ahead of Episode 7. Next weekend is looking like a pretty good weekend for all of us, so I hope Episode 7 will be filmed then. Hopefully we will have smooth sailing from there and I can edit and post the next two episodes in a few weeks. Basically, the ball is rolling, check back often

For Those That Care To Know
To all the the people out there who are wondering when we're going to get off the couch and release another episode, I figured I give you a little update. I was hoping to have another episode finished before August was over but we've run into server problems (i.e. it doesn't work) so August has been maintenance month for us. We should have a working server by either today or tomorrow so over the Labor Day weekend we can hopefully shoot the next 2 episodes (meaning we'll get one done before everyone else besides me gets bored and just starts playing WoW). I am hoping to get the episodes edited and up on the site in the next two weeks, so just check back when you're bored.

Updates for Episodes 4,5, and 6
I figure since I haven't made a new post in about a month, I'd let everyone know how progress is going with the future episodes. Due to the fact that Fraps saves videos as ridiculously huge avi files, we've been doing the episodes out of order (my hardrive was completely full). We've been working on 3 more episodes since about March, and two of them are completely done (Unfortunately they are episodes 5 & 6). Episode 4 is about 90% and I will hopefully finish it in the upcoming days once I get the rest of our audio files. Stay patient and thanks for watching.
