Oddly enough my tv watching habits have crossed over to the internet and i'm really not watching anything unless i can get a full season of it (currently upto season 4 of the x files). This is something i will have to fix. Though I do have to add, the ABC over here has started posting its original shows only for pod cast which is how i have been watching them. If you can find season 1 of the Hollowmen get it, and then send me a copy.

oh also type Gruen Transfer into the itunes store under podcasts and watch it, its really really really good.

that's definitely part of the problem -- discovering the shows. right now it's pretty much word of mouth and scanning sites like digg.

tilzy.tv is covering a bunch of shows, and so is newteevee.com. but they are more industry blogs than a tv guide for the web.

HAWP !!!!!!

a.k.a. : Hey Ash, Watcha Playin

Brother sister duo Anthony and Ashley Burch sporadically put out episodes that blend video game scenarios with bro/sis animosity. I enjoy them all, but I can see how some might think they're hit and miss. Watch a couple and I'm sure you'll find one you dig. When they hit they're hilarious.

Latest on Team Fortress 2 can be found here: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/39754.html

Before that, they're on Destructoid at:

(navigation on destructoid sucks, probably why they're slept on)

Enjoy!!

Right now, I'm watching Captain Blasto. http://www.captainblasto.com/

Captain Blasto, a comedy video web series, follows Colin Carter, a high school outcast, who recruits a middle-aged crew of comic crooks, including his high school janitor, to stage fake robberies in their small town which he can foil as his childhood comic book super hero.

But what happens when these bogus burglaries become real?

Dorm Life! It's a mockumentary about kids that live in a dorm that just finished its first season / semester.

www.dorm-life.com

It's very similar to the Office and just as funny you guys should check it out. (:

Has anyone tried Bytejacker? It's a show about downloadable games on all platforms. It reminds me of Epic-fu in that they manage to find content I have never seen anywhere else before. In Bytejacker, this usually comes in the form of obscure indie PC games which are free to download. The show is quick, funny, and informative which also makes me think of Epic-fu. Gamers in the audience will love it.

I've seen a few, it's only thanks to this thread that it has jogged my memory.

first up is the satirically religeous "god inc".

That's followed by we need girlfriends

I mentioned them before but i also liked Street fighter 2, the later years

Ive also started to get into other rev3 shows, for sheer entertainment, I really like Internet superstar through it's very first episode I got wind of What tom green is doing these days,

Are there no web shows that have any type of closed captioning?

Were looking at doing it for the project 2357 show, will depend on submissions and what language they come in. Were also still working out how to encode them.
