Today I'd like to share with you one of my favorite web series, and perhaps the biggest reason I'm sad I won't be going to Gen Con this year. The Legend of Neil is the story of a loser who (through interesting methods) gets sucked into the "Legend of Zelda", Captain N style. It's a real treat for gamers, but really for all fans of (somewhat profane) comedy. It's made by Sandeep Parikh, of "The Guild" fame. The humor is similar to "The Guild", but a bit more on the nose with its game references, and raunchier to boot. If you have a few hours to spare, I'd go through the whole series if I were you. Oh, and if you'll be at Gen Con, be sure to check out the cast members who will be there showing off season 3.
I recommend that you start out with the first few episodes of Season 2 (especially episode 2 - my favorite), and then if you like it go back and start at season 1. Don't worry - the episode intros catch you up to the story pretty fast. It's not that season 1 isn't good, but the series really starts clicking by the 2nd one. And besides, you get Felicia Day playing a nymphomaniac fairy - what's not to like?
hmmm. Video game refrences you say? Like a not sucky Captain-N?
You have intrigued me! I shall watch! When my internet decides to stop lagging :(.
Captain N? Sucky? You are dead to me :P
The show was pretty funny tho, I'll probably watch more later.
*Weeps*
Well maybe me not watching it in the 1980's as a child is what made me not like it. Come to think of it, I watched it a couple of years ago, so I can understand why you disagree (if that is the case). Or you may like it for the pure nostalgia, such as I feel the Mario show. It's cheesy, it's bad, but it has so much nostalgia you don't care :).
Anyways, what were we talking about again???
Pie. We were talking about pie. Pecan, to be precise.
Ah yes. Delicious, pecan pie...
Mhhhhhhmmmm......
But now I'm hungry
.
Pecan?
Now I have lost interest in theis subject.
Like the Captain N Mega Man would have said "Mega yuck!"
Apple pie FTW!!!
TommyJames, you are obviously not a fan of deliciousness.
Apple, Cherry, Pumpkin, Blackberry, Peach, Chocolate, Cheesecake (is it pie or is it cake?), Peanut Butter (Arkus has had my version), Lemon (he's had mine of this one, too).
And I make a killer Chocolate Amaretto Bundt Cake.
Don't tell me I don't know deliciousness.
I just don't feel that pieces of nuts belong in my desserts.
}P
BTW
Started with the first episode.
This show is frickin' hilarious.
I can say with sound mind and body (my body is ready), that Tommys peanut butter pie is made from the purest win.
As far as Captain N ' goes, yeah if you didn't grow up on it in the 80's I can see why you wouldn't like it. I myself have gone back and tried to watch shows from my childhood and sometimes grind my teeth on whats happening in the show.
But I'd be lying if i said I still didn't enjoy them.
Thanks for the compliment, Arkus.
Just finished watching the series.
Can't wait for the next season!
Season 3 just premiered!
That was convenient.
