RDCCDX In Deep With the FBI


posted by Aaron

The latest episode of Ronin Dojo Community College DX: The Digital Pirates of Dark Water Saga (RDCCDX) has hit the shelves. Well, it’s technically a 1/2 episode – one of the simple set-up sequences that creators Ben Levin and Matt Burnett call “interludes.” The comedy series is a video-game-centric story that starts with the release of the sought-after fictional title Cold Phoenix Saga 4. This is episode 2.5, Parking Garage Diplomacy.

If you haven’t watched the first 3 RDCCDX installments, go catch-up first.

Enroll in Ronin Dojo Community College DX

I believe we have a new champion of long titles. Ronin Dojo Community College DX: The Digital Pirates of Dark Water: Ep. 1: Release Me seems to have no real competition worth mentioning. I should also mention that said episode is excellent. It’s the latest release from the guys at For Tax Reasons – Ben Levin and Matt Burnett. It is filled plenitudes of hilarious video game humor, much like their earlier YouTube hit IM IN UR MANGER KILLING UR SAVIOR.

After you soak in this first episode, go read Ben Levin’s 5 Stages of Animation, in which he likens the animator’s process to the five stages of grief. We feel your pain, Ben.
