Davin Lengyel, a longtime friend, and fellow actor on PP has recently created a new show called Brotherhood of Leet: 8 Bit Wars. This will be a very cool new series for all the 8-bit junkies and non-junkies alike. It's a very interesting new show, and I cannot wait to see the finished product!! I'm also sure that you'll recognize a lot of the cast members...

Hi all,

It's my pleasure to introduce my latest guerrilla Internet project - www.8bitwars.com - a comedic mash-up of classic gaming and military drama. It stars a host of really talented people, was a blast to film, and should be worth a couple good laughs. The series hits the net this winter, but the teaser trailer, forums and store are live, so check it out and share with friends.

Cheers!
Davin

Desperately in need of a good laugh, I fell into the fortunate acquaintance of an actor by the name of Scott Gorman. He is a professional actor, recording artist, and musician, just to name a few of his professional endeavors, and concommitent to all of this, he knows how to hit a good punch line.

Well perhaps more fortunately, he also is the lead singer of a group called Boyballz. His music is part hip-hop, part dance, part hilarious. I'm not a music critic so I can't really give you anything more than that. But I really like a couple of his songs, and so should you.

A shout out to the Pure Pwnage fans... there is a song DEVOTED TO HAVING BIG BOY BALLS. Nuf said. I hope you'll listen to his music and make him a millionaire.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you Scott Gorman, and the musical stylings of Boyballz.

I have been having the best time rehearsing for this show... and now finally it is here!! Opening night is tomorrow and tonight is the invited dress rehearsal.
We have been running the show once (if not twice) every night for the past nine days - oh wait, we had sunday off ;)
But the great part about that is that we are entirely ready for an audience. It would be nice to do the show for PEOPLE!!

Also, I'd sincerely like to thank all the sexy ladies who submitted to the fun Costume Contest!! I honestly had such a fun time submitting ideas to Ming (the costume designer) and I am pretty happy with the results. However, it must be said that, in fairness, I wasn't able to exactly copy any gamer grrl's costume precisely, mostly because the pieces that girls use are things that you have collected from all different places and times in your life. That what's makes an outfit so cool- its ORIGINAL. It's not like I can just walk into a Gamer Outfit Costume Store and point at mannequin and say "That one please!" (or can you?) Whatever. I shop at the Gap sometimes. I release my need to "hip".

Anyways, I really appreciate all the help that was offered from the girls who submitted. I'll be posting pics from the winning submission and our dinner out together, and hopefully she can do a post about the show.

That being said, please! Come and see the show. Especially if you got to U of T... what are you waiting for?? It has men in diapers, a dancing Klu Klan, and a duelling Satan and Jesus. You'll like it, I promise.

The city is so alive with beautiful people right now. The line at Starbucks today looked like a line-up for Ford Models. Viva Film Fest!

Anyways, what I really wanted to do was to spread the word about a great event going on tonight for charity hosted by my friend Steph Bernston called The Prom. Its a prom night fundraiser in support of "Girls on the Run" tomorrow, Saturday, September 12 2009.

GOTR is one of the charities affiliated with the Chicago marathon, which she and her friend Michelle will be attempting to survive together on October 11 2009 in the windy city.

They write:

If we promise to run all 42.2 kilometres over four long hours, will you come dance for the same amount of time at the GSU gym for $15? There'll be drinks at the pub, free snacks a-plenty, a live DJ, general hilarity and even the crowning of a Queen and King.

If you can't attend the prom but would like to donate to Girls on the Run, you can find our online fundraising pages at:

Donate through Michelle Arthur's Facebook Page

Donate through Steph Bernston's Facebook Page

Please visit the event page for more information about prom and the charity we are fundraising for. We hope to see you there!

Except, not actually...

Back in May I played a small role in the Ready-Set-Panic Productions show "I Got Fired!" with directors Mark De Angelis and Charles Ketchabaw. It was a hilarious scene, and I found it really hard not to laugh the entire time. The guys recently sent me a copy of the finished scene. Here's the clip:
