CTFxC: Charles And Alli At Lollapalooza

Alli, Charles & Shay
on their way to Lollapalooza

Charles Trippy and Alli Speed get to go to some pretty wild places and events and luckily they upload them to their CTFxC Youtube channel for all of us to share. In this video they, along with Shay Carl, Casey (Shay's brother), Lisa Nova, BrettTheIntern, and KassemG are going to Lollapalooza 2011 and their video below shows a ton of great behind the scenes stuff. Oh yeah, and Nice Peter is in the mix somewhere too.

The bands that played today (August 6th) were: J. Roddy Walston & the Business, Fitz & The Tantrums, Mayer Hawthorne & The Country, Big Audio Dynamite, Local Natives, Deftones, My Morning Jacket, Grouplove, Walk the Moon, Black Lips, Death From Above 1979, Ween, Beats Antique and Coldplay doing an encore after their great show Friday (the one Alli and Charles were at).

Alli & Charles listening to
In My Place by Coldplay

Lot's of great bands, Charles talks with Sonny Moore from Skrillex who in the past has let Charles use some of his tunage. Also, there's a great scene when Alli and Charles are listening to Coldplay where he explains Alli is crying because they will be walking down the aisle (fairly soon!) to Coldplay's "In My Place" (which was the song playing when Charles proposed to Alli in Spain. If you haven't seen it, that's the link).

Shay Carl And Charles Trippy After VidCon: No Rest For The Youtubers

Even though VidCon is over, Shay Carl and Charles Trippy are still hard at work making videos. This one is just a behind the scenes type of thing with a guest appearance by Rocktard whp will not part with his gum (and gum wrapper). It's always cute seeing Shay with the kids and you can tell they are his world.



It looks like Charles will be playing a cop. I was wondering about the cop shirt when they came on. He is supposed to be Princesstard's step-dad and he does look the part (well, except for the earrings lol). VidCon just finished and these guys are already back at it pumping out the vids.

CTFxC's Behind The Scenes At VidCon

Here's a little of the VidCon experience through the lens of Charles Trippy's CTFxC as he and Alli take in the fun in L.A. It's always cool seeing all the various Youtubers floating around in the background in these gatherings. I spotted Philip DeFranco leading that game of Ninja and of course Shay Carl getting his beard handed to him in the basketball game with Charles and iJustine yawning as they were preparing to go on stage.

I liked how Shay's various tardlets wandered into the room first thing in the morning. During the trip through the kitchen I noticed IJ was filming in this video as well as the Shaytards' video so I'll keep an eye out for that one.



It was funny when Charles was pointing out where last year's VidCon took place and there was a party "down there" and the "Chubby Bunny Challenge" (see: The Chubby Bunny Challenge: Enter At Own Risk from last year).

If you didn't get a chance to go to Los Angeles you can still see some of what has been posted on the official VidCon channel (I saw Charlieissocoollike drop his pants when I stopped by earlier and there's lots of music. I will be watching for VidCon videos from others that will be posted in the days ahead.

Shay Carl Behind the Scenes At Vidcon

In case you don't know, a little gathering of online folks has been taking place in L.A. known as "Vidcon" and here Shay Carl and the Shaytards are vlogging about the shindig. Shay and the family are going to be on stage (hopefully Shay won't throw Rocktard out into the audience like last year) and if you watch the video you will likely see all sorts of the top Youtubers. First there's KassemG, Michael Buckley from his "What The Buck Show", iJustine, Tobuscus, MysteryGuitarMan, CTFxC (Charles Trippy and Alli Speed) and many others passing by the camera.



Now don't you wish you had bought a ticket? It unfortunately sold out in early May. If you're thinking ahead to Vidcon 2012 it is still a long way away and the location and other stuff has not been worked out, but you better plan on buying your ticket as soon as they become available.

CTFxC: L.A. Roof Top Pool Party With Wheezy Waiter

CTFxC's Charles Trippy and Alli Speed are in L.A. covorting with Wheezy Waiter on the roof of a building with a huge pool. It just does not get better than that.



Later, they go to a favorite spot for locals and out-of-towners called Roscoe's for chicken and waffles and are joined by the folks from Prank vs. Prank.

Conan O'Brien On CTFxC And TeraBrite

It's Valentine's Day and Charles and Alli have a special guest. Yes, Mr Conan O'Brien actually says CTFxC FTW" (although he did make a slight error). How did Charles & Alli get Conan filmed? Well, TeraBrite (aka Sabrina & DJ), who did the closing music for the CTFxC videos, were on Conan's TV show because of a contest.



And here's the whole video when TeraBrite ambushed Conan:



If you want to see the great video they shot that won them the chance to be on O'Brien's show, take a look: Conan's VD Explosion Contest Entry. You'll probably like it simply for the awesome burp.

How did CTFxC do in that epic "Just Dance 2" dance off?

Well, I'm glad you asked. You will find out at the start of the video. If you have no idea what this "dance off" contest was, it was between Charles and Alli, Wheezy Waiter and Philip DeFranco. See this Bradshaw's Blog post to see all of them busting moves respectively.

Charles Trippy And Alli, Wheezy Waiter And Phil DeFranco Bust A Move

It looks like it is Game ON for Charles Trippy and Alli (CTFxC) as they are now in an epic dance off with Wheezy Waiter and Philip DeFranco. They have been challenged by the good folks at Ubisoft who brought us Just Dance 2 and here they are bustin' moves left, right and center:



Have to admit, I am glad Charles declined wearing the little green shorty shorts. Alli looks SO much better in them. Gotta give Charles props for his mad dancing skills. I don't think I've ever seen him dance in any of his videos (actually Alli mentions she doesn't think she has ever seen him dance before either).

But now on to Wheezy. He of course enlists the aid of one of his multitude of Wheezy clones. I think Wheezy may have the moves of Bristol Palin.



And here's Philip DeFranco's entry which features the scrumptious Tricia Helfer, formerly of Battlestar Gallactica and now a part of so many other things such as the video below. I was so busy watching Tricia shaking her booty that it took me a while to notice the "special effects" going with Phil's face lol. Gotta say Tricia looked GOOOD. A Very pretty woman.



If you want to vote for Charles/Alli or Wheezy/Wheezy clone, or Phil and Tricia, you have to go to the Just Dance 2 page over on Facebook: facebook.com/justdancegame. I did check out the page quickly and it has a bunch of the songs and dance moves posted on the Facebook page and you can go to their Youtube channel at justdancegame where they've uploaded about 275 videos related to the game.

CTFxC: Too Many Hoodies And Charles Finds A New Toy

Poor Charles lol. Once again he is swamped with CTFxC hoodies that are all spread around his and Alli's living room getting ready to be shipped out. Can you think of how to help the poor guy out and remove the clutter? He mentioned that he felt it was almost like being on the show "Hoarders". I think it may be time for them to consider moving the hoodie operation out of their living quarters. Charles did like that some of the folks who ordered their sweatshirts and hoodies posted pictures showing some of Zoe and Marley's dog hair that came as an added bonus. Maybe he could add a special pre-packaged Marley hairball, almost like one of those chase cards that you find in sports cards. Just a thought.



Have to admit I lolled at the animation by cybertoons at the start. Very realistic in Alli's "I kill you" expression lol. Also. liked the look Alli was sporting on her way to class with the hair pulled back, sunglasses and black top. Just sayin' she looks good. A little too darn perky for school though and liked her realization that they are actually getting married this year. Felt like telling her not to stress about their forthcoming nuptuals, but like every bride-to-be she'll stress no matter what. Can't wait to see THAT video.

Didn't know about the B&H Photo deal, which is actually pretty cool. Didn't see any negative comments on the video about them getting $1,000 as on other channels you would expect to see comments like "sellout" etc, but that shows CTFxCers are REAL fans. Wouldn't mind getting 1K myself, but I would need to be a Youtube partner first and since I haven't uploaded any videos of my own... but still cool to see. I think I saw Mr Safety got a special camera attachment in one recent video from Youtube. Reason number 837 why I (and you) should be uploading videos and trying to get subs - cool swag!

But once again about all the hoodies - Charles and Alli are doing a good thing by providing them to their fans. The problem is that their fanbase continues to grow and grow and what started out as a small little home-based business is going through some bigtime growing pains. Charles, if you're reading this, and he has read this blog before because he tweeted about it (yes I know I sound like a geeky fanboy cuz I like that Charles read my stuff), you need to move it out of the apartment at some point! You guys need more room to do the packaging and storage and whatnot. As far as I can see, CTFxC is becoming a brand unto itself and you have a couple of choices - grow your brand or let it die on the vine.

I obviously don't know what kind of money they make from the sweatshirt/hoodie side of things (and it's not anyone's business what they make except their own), but they can make the clothing part a real money matter if they chose that direction. But knowing Charles he would probably say it's not about the money, but he likes seeing his viewers happy. Even if he doesn't want to make a ton of money on the merch, he's getting to the point where he needs a hand. He still has to take all the hoodies top the post office and deal with those clowns lol. But enough of my career advice. He and Alli are doing alright without my trying to help lol.

The sticky toy he got was pretty hilarious. My nephew got something like that in his stocking for Christmas and it was a sticky lizard that he was playing with all day, throwing it up and letting it stick to the ceiling and walls. Actually take a look at the other video Charles uploaded about the epic 80s sticky toy:



Charles uploaded it to his iPhone channel where they post lots of stuff like this. If you aren't also subbed to that one, it's Trippy.

CTFxC: Allie Eats Zombie Chow And Viewer Mail

It looks like Charles Trippy's Movember beard is coming in pretty good in this CTFxC and he is making some headway as far as getting his office cleaned up. Still lots of stuff all over the floor including viewer mail which he and Alli will open in another video.



I think the best part of that video had to be Charles in the wig and glasses and then showing the picture of his Dad all permed out. Of course, the scene with Alli eating the eyeballs and gizzrds or what every it was she was eating. I think I for one will pass on the Zombie food. But the book How To Talk Like A Zombie looked fun.

Next we get to see all the stuff people have been sending in to them. It is always cool stuff that CTFxCers send them and this is no exception. A lot of work went into the art work. Charles always seems to say that he doesn't want his viewers spending a lot of money on the items they send them, but it is always funny seeing how Zoe and Marley react to the toys and dog treats that are mailed.

CTFxC: Candy For Breakfast, The Tennesse Trip And Half Nekid Swimmin'

Candy for breakfast? Charles, Charles, Charles...



If you're a diehard CTFxC fan, you know about Alli's medical problems, but there's a link below if you want more info. What do you think? Should Charles go to Tennessee and leave Alli? It's easy to say no, stay Charles, but she is insisting he go and film his trip.

I did like Alli's little makeup tutorial with Marley just before they went to the doctor's office. Alli in the car was histerical lol. "Are you guys PC gamers? There's this game called... oh do you know this song?"

Those mini-huskies of his friend Scott were amazing. "Let's see Shay Carl do that with Malachi!" when he was holding the dog above his head.

And here's yesterday's CTFxC vlog:



It looks like Charles Trippy is almost ready for his trip to Tennessee that he mentioned last week - he and some other youtubers are heading to Tennessee and planning on doing some snowboarding, but he hasn't said who will be joining him there. Alli is still recovering from her trip to the emergency room the other day (see this post if you missed what happened there: Alli Hospitalized But Released And Charles Gets COD Black Ops). The reason Charles has a camera strapped to his head is that he wants to be able to record his faceplants when he hits the slopes on his snowboard.

Alli is still not 100 percent, but towards the end of the video she was playing with the dogs, so good to see her up and about. Charles meanwhile was getting his golf bag handed to him by Alli's dad when they were playing virtual golf at the bar where Charles' sister Mel works. But to give him credit, Charles was getting better towards the end.

And if you are interested in checking out those hoodies and new t-shirts, go over to internetkilledtv.com for more info on how to snag them.

Alli Hospitalized But Released And Charles Gets COD Black Ops

I was wondering about those stomach pains that Alli Speed had been talking about in previous CTFxC videos - I was thinking along the lines of maybe a stomach ulcer due to the stress of being in her final year at school, but watch the video for more information about her condition.



It was good to see her released from the ER after the long wait to find out the results. Ovarian cysts are fairly common, though they can obviously be painful as you saw in today's video. Have to give Charles a thumbs up for sticking by his woman all day while she waited. I'm guessing she will have some minor surgery to get the cyst removed, but that will take some time to get it all arranged. I'm thinking all will be well, but you should continue sending good vibes and messages to her. Alli's Twitter account is @AlliSpeed if you aren't following her yet.

After getting her home, Charles decided to brave the crowds and try to pick up a copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops at a local store. My first thought was "how could Charles leave his fiancee alone?" but then I realized Alli probably told him it was okay to go check out the game - she's a die-hard gamer chick and like Charles mentioned, he was surprised she didn't try to start playing the hottest game out right now.

And... here's CTFxC from one year ago today. Because Charles mentioned in the vlog a few days ago that after watching that day's video we should check out the one from a year ago, here's Charles Trippy and Alli Speed back when they were still in Spain. November 9th, 2009.



It looks like Alli was suffering from a massive migraine (as well as Charles calling her a lumberjack). Did you see the look on Alli's face when he kept talking about her being what a lumberjack aspires to? That's the look from a girl who's not feeling well who's about to gut you like a fish if you don't watch your step, lol.

Charles tried a lion bar which sounds like it would be tasty. If I was in Spain or one of the other European countries, I would probably gain a ton of weight from eating all the great food that's available.

Once again I'm not sure if showing the CTFxC video from a year ago will be a "thing" or not. We'll have to see how it goes.

And don't forget to send Alli a tweet telling her to be well!

Hot Librarian Alli And One Year Ago On CTFxC

Charles Trippy starts today's CTFxC vlog with a stern warning not to fall for any phishing scams which is good advice - there's lots of people out there trying to scam you, so what you should do is send all your banking information to me at... yes, I'm kidding, but if you are approached online for your info, MAKE SURE IT'S LEGIT!



And yes, that first shot of Alli when she wearing Charles' glasses made her look like a hot librarian lol. Something about a girl with big beautiful eyes who wears glasses...

And loved the chinese firedrill at 2:45 where Alli and her dad ran around the car at the stoplight and then jumped back into their seats in the car. I haven't done that in years. If you saw that, would you do it? I am so going to do that when I get a chance. And that indoor golf simulator does look awesome like Charles says when they stop by to see his sister Melissa.

That great painting that Charles points out is obviously from the movie Caddyshack (a true classic!) I read that Bill Murray has a copy of that painting.

On the way home after mama Speed's birthday celebration, Charles mentioned that one of the people on Twitter told him that they need to go back and watch the video they uploaded one year ago and compare where they are now with then. So, by making use of the YouTube time machine, here's CTFxC one year ago.



Yup, that's them back on November 7th, 2009. They were still in Spain! Charles was talking about their website InternetKilledTelevision.com and how they had just opened the site's online store and the CTFxC maniacs were all over it and the website was a little sluggish because of the traffic. It was funny seeing Alli talking about her hair in this one and the one from yesterday when she got it clipped.

"Who's Katie Price? Does Anyone know who that is?"

Wow, here it is a year later and EVERYONE knows who Katie Price is. LOL at Charles for not knowing about her, but then again a lot of people didn't know Price a year ago.

He also asked about why it's called soccer in the USA and football (or futball) elsewhere. I think it was because when it developed in the States, their organization was called the "Association" and that got shortened to assoc - soccer. I read that years ago, but I could be wrong about the origins of the word. We may need to call HotForWords for a ruling. And, yup, Marina has a video explaining all about HotForWords: Soccer or Football?.

And they were just starting the Twitter accounts. Hard to believe it was just a year ago that Twitter sort of blew up right?

So, should I keep showing their videos from a year ago? Should I make it a thing? I sound like Wheezy Waiter saying that lol. I don't know if it's a thing yet or not (explosion!)

CTFxC: Alli's New Haircut And Beer Pong Reprise

It looks like Alli's gonna get her head shaved - no, not shaved, just styled. Actually she does bare some resemblance to actress Zooey Deschanel with those bangs.



It's also Alli's mom's birthday, so wish her a happy birthday - I don't have her Twitter account, so I can't point you in that direction lol. The also are trying to find Marley a new dog coat or "Fugu Jacket" as Charles calls it.

You can also find a bunch of other dog jackets on Amazon and elsewhere.

Later we see Team CTFxC playing beer pong against Alli's brother but it looks like papa Trippy is the secret weapon lol. What do you think about Charles' idea for a new t-shirt with the Dracula picture and the words "Real Vampires Don't Sparkle!"? I think it's a great idea.

Also, right at the end, Charles asked what your opinion was on Justin Bieber - he seems to think that Bieber hasn't shown much appreciation for what YouTube has done for his career. What do you think? Personally, I can see the point Charles is making.

There haven't been too many shoutouts for YouTube coming from the guy. Of course there's also the problem of forgetting where you came from when you blow up as big as Bieber has over the last year or so. Maybe Bieber has forgotten that feeling you get when you are seeing the 100th or 1000th subscriber on your home page. When you get huge there is sometimes the accompanying feeling of "entitlement" as in "oh, yeah, I would have been big with or without Youtube" or any outside help you might get on your rise. I can't peek into Bieber's mind so I can't say one way or another what he feels he may owe YouTube as far as acknowledgement. There has been a noticeable lack recently of him saying much about the website that helped launch his career - and I think that may be what Charles was pointing out.

But that's just my opinion - what do YOU think?

CTFxC: Wanna Name Alli's Alien Bambino?

Charles is preparing to head over to Cape Canaveral to watch the latest Space Shuttle Discovery launch (likely on Friday November 5th at around 3pm) and poor Alli is wracked with tummy troubles. If you want, you can check Nasa's launch schedule.



Charles also let us know that all the Internet Killed Television Theme Songs were downloadable from their website, so if you want those, just travel over to internetkilledtv.com. Alli is out and she runs into a girl that they met at the Weezer concert back in late January. If you haven't seen that video, you can watch it here: Charles and Alli go see Weezer. It's funny because while Alli is filming the girl, another girl spots the camera from behind her and freezes lol. Random stuff in these CTFxC videos that catch your attention.

Charles was taking Zoe and Marley out for a walk but it started raining, so he put Marley in her little yellow rain slicker lol. He also uploaded a video to his iPhone channel on YouTube. You can see the clip called Little Dog In A Yellow Raincoat!! (with Alli singing) at Trippy - you can even download the song from SendSpace for free (now THAT'S a dedicated CTFxCer!).

But What Was That Part About Alli Being Pregnant?!

No, Alli is not really having a baby. It seems that Alli has been having problems with her stomach for a while (that's why she hasn't been in too many CTFxC videos). She gets these abdominal pains for several days and they subside, but they return a few months later. They've been to see doctors about it, but they don't know what it could be - so, Charles has decided that it has to be an alien baby. It's so obvious! Alli has a little space baby growing inside her and Charles is already picking out names: E.T., and Alli thinks "Charles the 4th" would be good. So, she's not preggers, and hopefully it's not something like an ulcer. Send Alli some best wishes that she will get over this quickly.

Another thing, Charles mentioned that he will definitely be going to Tennessee around the 12th (he mentioned that cabin thing with other youtubers in Sleepy Charles Trippy And Cussin' Alli) and he bought a GoPro thingy that you wear as a helmet so we can see what Charles does when he does a faceplant when he goes snowboarding when he's in Tennessee. That should be interesting.

The guy at the end is another youtuber, themightythor1212, who will be showing Charles around for the launch of the space shuttle. And wow, that was uploaded fast! Here's themightythor1212's video:

Sleepy Charles Trippy And Cussin' Alli

That'll show Charles Trippy why you can't stay up for days on end! The opening shots were of Charles doing a faceplant in front of the camera. It was almost like a CTFxC 24-hour web cam and we just tuned in when Trippy was passed out.



And it was good of him to give Alli a mulligan so early in the contest. If you don't know what the contest is, Alli has to go through the entire month of November without swearing and Charles has to go through the month sitting back and let his facial hair grow. If Charles goes through the month without shaving and if Alli swears (again, that is, lol), he can get a Google TV. If Alli can make it through the month without swearing, she will be able to get a new pair of jeans - probably an expensive pair I'm guessing.

The reason why Charles was so sleep-deprived these last few days was because of the Rally in Washington they went to with his sister Melissa (there are posts on here about that). I think the best shot was where he was asleep supporting his head with the spoon while eating Honey Toasted Oats lol. Followed closely by where he is drooling on his desk with the headbanger music blaring in the background.

I think Alli getting a do-over is fine because it is just the first day and trying to alter your behavious like that is not something you can do immediately. Besides, it will good for her to try to reframe from swearing for a month. She's been cussin' and swearin' like a sailor (sailors get a bad rep in this dept).

This is the first time we have heard about Charles and other youtubers heading over to Tennessee to live in a log cabin - sounds like Prank House goes country-style. That won't be for a couple of weeks, but I'll keep an eye out for more info about that and will pass it on to you. Alli will be being all scholastic and stuff, so won't be able to go, but expect a split video with Alli talking about her day at school and Charles and whomever is at the cabin with him having a great time.

CTFxC Does Washington DC On Halloween

Well, we got an explanation from Charles about why there was no CTFxC meetup like they had hoped at the Jon Stewart-Stephen Colbert Rally Charles, Alli & Melissa were attending in Washington DC - there was a massive Internet blackout. No cell phones, no texting, no Internet - BIG fail on the part of the InterWebs, so although Charles Trippy had planned on telling everyone where he and the girls were, they couldn't, but it still looks like it was an awesome time.



Loved all the signs and costumes they spotted in the crowd. And one dude found them and gave his YouTube channel - arandomkindofthing (go give Shane a shout out from CTFxC!). Of course there was also that total DB who interrupted them to make a snide comment about liberals and their skin. Alli TOTALLY called it right with that guy. And did you see the guy wearing the Rorschach mask? I half expected him to say "Never compromise. Not even in the face of Armageddon." lol.

Still the shots after dark were pretty cool too, with the Lincoln Memorial all lit up and Charles got a good quote from Lincoln: "Hey Charles! CTFxC FTW!" But they did meet up with a couple of youtubers, jeremyi and kxkevin12 - so give them a shout on their channels too. It was also interesting to see the spot where Martin Luther King Jr delivered his "I Have A Dream" speech. That's one thing about DC - massive history all over the place.

What do you think about their latest outro for their channel? I think it sounded awesome. It was done by Terabrite, so there's a link if you want to check out their channel.

CTFxC: Alli & Melissa Descend On Washington For Stewart-Colbert Rally

Looks like Charles Trippy will be heading over to Cape Canaveral later for the latest space launch, but first, Alli and Charles' sister Melissa go to Washington DC during the big Jon Stewart-Stephen Colbert Rally on October 30th. There was some talk of a mini-CTFxC gathering, but it looks like it was lost in the hoopla of the Stewart-Colbert party.



Have to agree with uber-gay Michael with his assessment of Melissa being gorgous - she's always smiling too which is another of her attractive features. Hey, if you aren't subscribed to Melissa yet, her Youtube channel is mel and she now has over 53K subs!

As far as Alli and Melissa's DC trip, it is always interesting to see all those monuments and buildings. I've never been there (yet), but I have always wanted to see Washington, the White House, Congress and the Smithsonion. Don't know why, but the Lincoln Memorial has always intrigued me - with a humongous Abraham Lincoln sitting in a chair staring down at you. Have to get some pictures of that some day.

It looks like Charles wants to put together a mini-Youtube gathering when they are in Washington which is cool. The reason why Alli and Melissa were in Washington was for the Jon Stewart-Stephen Colbert Rally To Restore Sanity And/Or Fear on Saturday afternoon on the National Mall in DC. Have to lol at Colbert for dressing up like Evil Kenevil.

 

Check out these great pictures from the Stewart-Colbert Rally.

If you are not subbed to Charles' iPhone channel on Youtube you probably missed these two videos. First, Charles visits the Washington Monument:



Second, Melissa slids down the stairs at the Lincoln Monument:



Here's where you can sub to Charles' iPhone Channel. Charles & Alli post short little clips on this side channel all the time, so if you are a dedicated CTFxCer, you're missing out if you aren't subbed here too.

CTFxC: At Best Buy Discussing Zombies And Charles Gets A New Canon Camera

Here's the latest video from CTFxC where Alli Speed forgets her camera battery (vlogging fail!) and Charles Trippy gets stuck in a Best Buy parking lot after hours and discussing zombies and new video games. Like he says, he can have fun anywhere.



It was interesting to see the lecture Alli was attending and her reaction to the religious views of the dude answering questions. I liked that she did say that she was showing the clip not to promote any particular point of view but just to show the happenings on campus.

Lol at Charles for his "With Zombies!" comments regarding the new Mortal Combat (with zombies). He said "there'll be Nickelodeon with zombies and Disney with zombies and Dora The Explorer with zombies... oh wait. I'd like to see that one." He asks which game he should get:

Dead Rising 2

Fallout New Vegas

The new Call of Duty: Black Ops

Which ones do YOU think he should get? Or do you care lol?

Charles also uploaded his Halloween video, so check out: Charles Trippy Says "Real Vampires Don't Sparkle!"



The video starts with Charles showing what YouTube looked like on the wayback machine, 5 years ago. It is surprising how little traffic the website got back then. They are also planning on giving away some Throwboy Pillows, so watch the video for those details.

This video is mostly about Charles testing his new camera, a Canon PowerShot SD3500IS versus the old one they were using, a Canon SD780IS . Lol at Marley in the thumbnail looking all upset. That's actually a great shot of Alli - she does have big, beautiful blue eyes doesn't she?

The new camera looks so much better in the video! Love the depth of field and increased vertical space that shows up with it. The camera has 14 megs and "5x Ultra Wide Angle Optical Image Stabalized Zoom" - which means - lots more of the image can be seen to the sides.

Wise choice in camera equipment Mr Trippy.

Lol at Alli's Crocodile Hunter accent when describing the "Hobbit's Den". I liked the part where she starts talking about Hobbit dung and Charles is "What?!" Yes Charles, your fiancee's an odd girl.

Charles Trippy Says "Real Vampires Don't Sparkle!"

This is the video Charles Trippy filmed when they were in California earlier this month and that he has been working on since they got back. In their last CTFxC video, Charles was showing how he was putting together some of the music for this Halloween/Twilight themed video.



It looks like Charles/Edward scored big time lol. Also, this was filmed by Mr Safety of SMPfilms. The hot girl at the door was ChristaBelle28. Check out her videos! She's got about 38 posted (I liked A Real Woman's Workout).
