More later and yes, the site has been updated.

Handlebars by The Flobots
Accidents, similarities and coincidences happen and I was willing to leave it at that…until I saw the entire music video when I got back.  Still a coincidence I believed, but then I heard the lyrics.

If someone isn’t watching us then wow.  The evil corporate, conglomerate, Octocorp the bad guys controlling everything.  Heh, that wasn’t thought of by us before at all.

This video and song hits close to home in so many ways I wouldn’t be surprised if this was based on something we did in the passed our present.

For more on P.K. check out his highlight reel again, before that is removed and Octo-vision has a chance to step in and match his talent.

The silly truth is that there is still a lot of work in progress but after revealing what we’ve been up to I’m satisfied.

 What a concept.

With an impressive background in Hung Gar, Wu Shu and Northern Shaolin Praying Mantis Kung Fu, Stiver is believed to fit the role.

Jake’s talents can be seen in the following videos:

This is why we’ve looked into other programs and mediums. Working with Brightcove, we were able to provide our videos with much better quality. Check them out and see the difference:
