The "director's cut" of the official trailer for Hordes of Orcs - a new Mac game published by Freeverse Software. Created by Blake Buck, this version has a slightly different ending that was deemed too intense by Freeverse Software.

It's the Thanksgiving holidays! Which means we're being a bit slow at getting a new show recorded with all the holiday festivities. So to tide you over until the next show, I present you with the Jerrall.
Jerrall was the first film Blake Buck and William Miller shot together in the fall of 2003. This was back in our senior year of high-school at the Mississippi School of Mathematics and Science - an academically selective boarding school for gifted students. The film presents one legendary Calculus II teacher and his ensuing wrath on his students.
Though as crude as it perhaps looks now, Jerrall paved the way for future films; we also had a lot of fun premiering it in our Calculus II class as well. If you have any feedback for us, leave your thoughts in our forums here.
In the coming weeks we'll be posting the rest of Buck and Miller's Foursouth films, so stay tuned!

Freeverse Software's Big Bang Brain Games is easily the best collection of puzzle games ever created. Is this because it features fantastic graphics? A poweful musical score? Enthralling gameplay? Or because it's getting high scores on a certain unspeakable website?
It's because BLAKE BUCK made the trailer. Keep an eye out for subtle BDPE references too!
