Back in '49 by Amoeba Man

INSTRUCTIONS: Find someone who seems bored. This may be anyone from a homeless person to an obscure fascist dictator. Ask them to tell you a story. Then tell them a story. This task is only complete after someone has listened to your story.

KLANG! WHOMP! FLIFFLE-FLAFFLE! (Thank you, Don Martin!) Amoeba Man is back in action, huzzahing and hip thrusting like never before! Most triumphant!

This was a task I wanted to do the moment I saw it, but unfortunately, it came out right during peak schoolwork time, making it very difficult, and I haven't really had the chance till now. Of course, I can hardly leave the house for it, because it's too cold. This doesn't inhibit me much, but unfortunately, not everyone is as temperature resilient, so I can't really go hunting around looking for someone to tell a story to. So, I was limited to those in and around the Amoeba Sanctum. That means the angry and uncooperative Kolorbahl and the stoic and brooding Dr. Schleitwerszt. I would have done Kolorbahl, but there's no way he would have done anything to help the process (by his own admission later that day "I don't have any stories"). Schleitwerszt would go better because of a few things:

A) He's a doctor.
B) He writes novels.
C) He's a doctor.
D) He's funny.
5) He's a doctor.

The list goes on. One thing about the Doctor, though, he's an aspiring director of arthouse films. He uses odd camera angles a lot. Don't sweat it, though, or you'll make him mad. He relates a story about the Best Bunny and the Bad Bunny, and for the first time on film, Amoeba Man talks about his origin story.

So, some of you may be wondering about TPS0. If you actually bothered to visit www.totalplaystudios.com, you'll know it's going through some rough transitional times. However, rest assured, everything is working it's way out, and TPS0 will continue. This video also marks the transition from Youtube to Vimeo, which allows longer, higher quality videos. I'll be transferring the TPS0 library to Vimeo, so that should be interesting. Or horrific. Who knows? It means that there will be less cutting to meet length restrictions, though, so hopefully we'll be able to get some extended episodes up with more funny. When TPS0 returns, it will be (not unlike SF0 this era) slightly different, but equally good (or better!). So get ready to strap in for a whole new year of fun, SFZerians! Until then...

HENSHIN!

Hilarious, as usual. Nice to see the return of Dr. Schleitwerszt.

Witty, and replete with charm

After my efforts to catch up with the winter surge of tasks is complete, I'll have to look for any episodes I have missed to date.

Thanks! I'm pretty sure you haven't missed any, but if all goes well, TPS0 Episode 5 will be forthcoming soon.

And, if you can believe it, there's more snow on the ground now than when I filmed that.
