2PP Presents "Penny-Arcade: The Series"
Our partnership with Penny-Arcade continues to expand in strange new directions. Behold "Penny-Arcade: The series", a documentary series about the life and times of those who inhabit the Penny-Arcade office.
You can currently find the 2-part pilot episode along with the first regular episode of the series online at www.penny-arcade.com/patv. New episodes should be expected Fridays at a rate of 2 per month, with additional offerings from ourselves and others to fill the gaps.
If your curiosity has brought you here from PATV, i bid you welcome, and apologize for the current "transitional" state of our site. If you at all enjoy the music featured in each episode of the PA series, click around and explore some of our other video content. We have a rich history with the chip music scene, and it's pairing with the PA series has felt very right. We have a fine selection of products available. Please buy them, and continue to further your education.
For those new to the site, i also highly recommended reading this interview that took place for GameSetWatch. It covers a great deal of our history, and should serve to get you up to speed on our past, present, and future. |

PAX 2009
If you haven't seen our most recent documentary on the PS3-exclusive title "Infamous," drop by Gametrailers to watch all 3 episodes of Behind The Scenes Goodness at Sucker Punch Studios.
Sweet, we made it to our second post of the year! So we're back in Seattle for this year's Penny Arcade Expo, one of the country's largest gaming conventions open to the general public. Last year, we came to screen one project, Reformat the Planet. This year, we're here to create a new one.
We have to remain fairly tight-lipped about it all at the moment but I can tell you that we'll be trailing PA masterminds, Mike & Jerry, for the entire weekend -- documenting their interactions with the vendors, volunteers, and, most importantly, their fans. We'll also be covering all of this year's musical performances (including our dear friends Anamanaguchi so be on the lookout for some good old fashioned 2PP-style concert footage. We saw the performance area come together today and it looks unspeakably badass. With about 75,000 people expected to attend, we're looking forward to an exciting weekend.
Big ups to everyone at Penny Arcade and all the Expo staff. We've had a great time so far and everyone has been extremely generous and helpful. We're really looking forward to sharing this material with all of you once we figure out what form it's going to take. I have to be up and ready to go at 7am to catch all the kids lining up early at the convention center so I'll stop here for now.
For more regular updates, be sure to Follow us on twitter. We just posted links to two brand new videos so check 'em out. |

Blip Festival 2008 Live CD
We're back. We never really went anywhere, we've just been so busy making this incredible live album release, we didn't have time to update the site. That or we forgot how to update the site. Take your pick.
Blip 2008 Live is now available to purchase in physical and digital forms. You can also stream the entire album online for free at bandcamp.
The site is currently in the process of receiving a complete overhaul. Other big things are in the works, including our second year at PAX in September, a cross country move to a new base of operations in Portland, Oregon, and some big new projects that will take us in a new direction.
We'll be back online soon, better then ever. Until then, kick back and enjoy the sounds of Blip 2008 Live, and keep in touch with our twitter feed. |

Pitchfork Media Gets Reformatted |

2 Player Productions and Pitchfork Media Team Up
In a move that is sure to split the tight pants off of hipsters everywhere, influential internet outfit Pitchfork Media has finally discovered chip music. To make up for lost time, they've decided to stream the entirety of our Reformat the Planet documentary off their site. The catch: It's only available for one week, so head there now and you can say you knew about chip music before all those hipsters on your block did.
Here's the link- Reformat on Pitchfork
So once again, we managed to miss our weekly video update. While some may think we merely set ourselves up for failure, i can attest that this time we had some really good excuses. A whole bunch. Seriously.
Better late then never, we're rolling out a new mini-series of videos, the "080808". We where lucky enough to show up in time to catch a few performances at the 080808 outdoor show in Philadelphia, hosted by our friend No-Carrier. The first video is more on the abstract side and features the Nullsleep track "Angle of Reflection".
Look out for more videos coming soon in the 080808 series featuring performances by Minus Baby, Animal Style, and 8GB. |

West Coast Premier of Reformat the Planet at Penny Arcade Expo
Reformat the Planet will be showing at the 2008 Penny Arcade Expo(PAX) in Seattle, Washington. This will be our west-coast premier, and perhaps the largest venue RTP has had the privilege to play at. With attendance over the years steadily rising to the thirty seven thousand at last years event, PAX has become the ultimate destination for gamers the world over. RTP will be introduced to a new audience that's bigger then ever, and we're all very grateful that the guys at PA liked our movie enough to want to show it to their friends.
We'll be joined in Seattle by our pals Anamanaguchi, who are performing as part of PAX's legendary live concert event. Having previously given new life to video game cover bands and the nerd-core rap movement, PAX will be opening their door for the first time to chip music. Little do they realize the breaching charges placed on the door by the guch', set to blow that fucker to splinters right before they storm in and clear the room.
In theory, you should be able to find us for the duration of the event populating a merch booth packed with all sort of excellent 8bitpeoples swag. What's much more likely to happen is that we'll find an excuse to stick Anamanaguchi in the booth and sneak off to play Mega Man 9 and Bionic Commando. So if you come by to make a purchase in good will and find the station manned by scruffy-looking musician types with colorful t-shirts and tight pants, don't panic. They are in control.
To celebrate our next big screening(and make up for last weeks missing video) we've added three clips of Reformat the Planet to the site to give everyone a better idea of whats in store for them. PAIN!
No, not really. Unless you find pulse pounding live performances and slick 8-bit ascetics painful, then be sure to take your medication before clicking the link.
As of this moment, the time slot for the PAX screening is still TBA. In the meantime, you should be concerned with putting your body through an intense physical and mental training routine in preparation for the three most jam-packed days of awesomeness in human history.
