03-08-10 No Sketch For You!
After a weekend of way too much junk food and Modern Warfare 2, I have to sadly report that there will be no Synaptic Kamikaze this week. The sketch I had planned to release is nowhere to be found on my computer so I'll have to re-edit it for next week and I just don't have the time right now to do ...

But here it is at eight minutes long, 450megs, with a load of laughs and a some random violence. Not to mention some kick ass music by winKoneR as usual....

Episode 8 is the start of a new arc and probably the ...

02-12-10 Humans Are Crazy
We got a new comic online, this one is my favorite yet; and a new Synaptic Kamikaze to boot!  For this sketch we tried something a little different, and went the reality TV route.

While I consider Dot Swoof my full time job, sadly I am still a college student, and must occasionally go to classes and take part in assignments. Today is now the first day of classes at my college, UNCG. And I'm pretty sure my biology class is being taught by Martin Scorsese.

But I'm su...

It just occurred to me, that it's been a little more than two years since we put this site online. Looking back, it's been one hell of an adventure; the site has improved since then however, and the same goes for our content.

I've always liked machinima, ever since the Warthog Jump video way back when Halo was a new game on a struggling console. Not much later, RedvsBlue came on the scene with a fresh taste of internet comedy and since then people have endlessly tried to follow in their wake.

And so, a wave o...
