Title: My Life with SEGA: The Next Level (short film)
Post by: mylifewithsega on April 28, 2013, 01:50:06 pm: Hey gang!

After completing 53 reviews for My Life with SEGA - Star Trek is almost finished and will be posted for subscribers before May 15th - I decided to have some fun and make a SEGA-themed action/comedy starring myself, Mickey Mac (2-Man Scramble) and Shawn Morgan (Night Trap). Our very own Barry the Nomad has put together a sweet poster, which he'll post shortly. It's already up on our Facebook and Twitter.

Just to give you a little sweetener, here's a sneak peek at the car race through Miami. The final short will be available by May 29th. I hope you dig this short scene.

Stay cool.

Post by: mylifewithsega on May 09, 2013, 01:15:52 pm: Thanks, bro. Neither can I. Hahaha! Once lunch is outta' the way, I gotta' get my ass back to editing the fucker. The fight sequence is driving me nuts.

My shirt's the product of a fan. He also made a Night Trap T-shirt, which I wore in the 32X review. His name handle's 'SlothMachine' and you can find him on eBay.

@TheIrishNinja - Thank you, good sir. I really owe Brandon and Barry a lot for the poster. They did an incredible job. Now that the short's finished, I'm sad to say the poster looks slicker than the movie. The Next Level looks very, very 80's.

Post by: mylifewithsega on May 20, 2013, 02:55:24 pm: LOL! Thanks, man. The part with me drinking was just something I thought of on the spot. That's me when I'm playing a video game. I'll be mowing people down and drinking soda as if it's going outta' style.

I hope you like the finished movie. The following gun/fist fight trumps the car chase for me.

Post by: CrazyT on May 21, 2013, 07:17:14 am: I actually based that off of watching the real thing. It was really funny because it captures the idea of how silly it is when we play videogames just ordinarily drive in to people as if there's nothing wrong. hahaha, really well executed.
