2 Guys Hurling goes high quality

As promised, I’ve created higher quality QuickTime versions of each episode in Season 1. Here are the links for those who’d like to recapture the glory and experience the trebuchet all over again.

Episode 1 – “Good Start”
Episode 2 – “The Frame”
Episode 3 – “That’s It?”
Episode 4 – “A New (bucket of) Hope”
Episode 5 – “Final Assembly”
Episode 6 – “The Hurl”


So… now what?

Now that season 1 is complete, and you’ve all seen the results of our hurling experiment, what happens now?

Well that’s a good question.

First of all, I think I’ll post higher quality QuickTime versions of Season 1. YouTube is a great site, but I must admit I’m not that happy with the quality. I suspect that the YouTube quality is directly affected by what you upload to them. I guess I could re-encode the videos and try again with YouTube, but I figure it’ll just be easer to encode and host my own. So look for that soon.

Secondly, Jason and I do plan on making some enhancements to the trebuchet before we call it a day. When that happens we’ll post an epilogue episode to cap off Season 1.

finally, we also plan on doing a second season of 2 Guys Hurling, but have run into some problems. Our plan was to build a Ballista this summer, and release the first episode probably in September some time. Turns out the Ballista kit is out of stock, and we may not be able to get one until August or later. So I’m not sure when we’ll be able to get Season 2 going, but I’ll keep you posted.
