Hey there, it’s just Dale, checking in at the Empire. I totally came here to let you all in on my thoughts, and then I hit a brick wall. Not literally though. But I was just like, “meh. Life is life. I think I’m much to profound and cool to write anything entertaining for you.” And so I just left this post blank, for like at least 3 hours. Then I went and goofed off in front of my camera, while building a snowhill. And that was really lame and exhilerating at the same time. Continue reading

[Update] Bank Robbery
I figured since I hadn’t posted anything in like a whole week!… I would post me some delicious shpeels in regards to our new movie in editing, Bank Robbery. I probably don’t have too much to say about it but this will fill up some of your time, thumbs up.
Well it was last weekend me and some chumskys were eating nachos at my place when we decided to spawn a movie. Bank Robbery is what resulted. Basically I just plopped a ski mask on my face and acted like myself. The other fellas played some folks. Anyhow majority of that video became bloopers, which we will probably release soon cause it’s the beans. And I bet you’re wondering why we didn’t post this new golden delicious video up. Too many calories in one shot isn’t good for you.
So hopefully it should come up next week or maybe even this weekend. Until then stay classy.
Thinking Time!
So anyways, I’m sitting here trying to come up with some form of news that I could offer about the goings ons in The Empire, but alas, I have none.
I could start chatting about “Cheese Balls”, rap about a on going project in the editing phase “Bank Robbery”. But I honestly have nothing, I could talk about the new and improved script for Quest For Triumph, and how we’re going to include that second one, and probably make both at least several different videos. I could talk about our plans for shirts, or plans for LPs, but I don’t really have any news about nothing. Continue reading
[Update] Quest for Triumph 2
After many hours of sitting here in bed typing I finally established a beautiful masterpiece, the script for Quest for Triumph 2. In addition to that I have added a brand spanking new cast of characters for various people to act and selected some quotes from various old BSE productions to use in the video Continue reading
Chroma Keying!
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ouXYi5eQ5I]
While waiting for a music download for our next video, I doofed around a bit with chroma keying for the first time. I’m actually starting to get excited about it, and I’ll see if I can actually use it in a video soon. There’s still some kinks to work out, like tracking (so that the picture moves with the camera, instead of it being obvious that the picture is separate from the video), but I’m actually surprised that I could even do it this well on my first go.
Let me know what you think!
Bacon Bits!
I can’t believe none of us thought of this before, or if one of us did, never even bothered to bring it up. Because “Bacon Bits” is possibly the coolest name ever for the sketches of a group like ours. From now on, we are calling all of our sketches a “Bacon Bit.” I mean, come on, it doesn’t get more clever than that!
Here we come Bacon!
Also, I thought I’d note that I am currently working on a new logo for the Empire; while the current one is okay, I’m hoping to get something more professional, more scale-able, and most importantly something more acceptable for the Bacon Empire.
Wish me luck!

Mico here with another whatever the poop I’m doing and I’m here to talk about my feelings… yay!
Ever since I was a little boy, fresh out of diapers, I have been into Legend of Zelda, thanks to Calen. I was probably the only person on earth who didn’t think Link was called Zelda, because Calen addressed that issue as soon as he started playing the game at my house so I didn’t have the oportunity to be wrong. But something I’ve wanted to do is create a series that highlights all of Links adventures, Continue reading
[Update] The Quest for Triumph Sequel
As a chief movie producer (Calen) my goal is to arrange for a second Quest for Triumph video, either a re-make with more quality, jokes, etc. Or we will make a sequel with all of these included. The date we had in mind was for summer when most of us admins get together. Scripts are already in the process of being written and ideas are being produced. Our goal is to establish a hilarious materpiece with our next Quest for Triumph video. We will update later as we progress with establishing this new video idea.
The Man Behind the Music
As the guy in charge of bloopers and musical guidance, it’s my job to find the funniest stuff and put it into a nice little tidbit just for you. I (Mico) also have the wonderful job of deciding what kind of music goes into the videos.
My last two projects were the blooper videos. I had to take the funniest goofs that we made during our previous three videos, Warzone Overtime and Staring Contest Continue reading
Up and Up!
Bacon Strip Empire is on the move. We hope to provide all of you devoted followers of ours up to date as best we can, and to do so we have introduced our own website. (For all you computer people out there, we realize we don’t own the rights, but it is ours, okay!)
But yes, we are working on a lot of new projects and ideas, including the release of Continue reading
