NOT the End of HPAW

Due to overwhelming  community support we have decided to continue doing HPAW for the time being. Thank you so much to our loyal fans. Spread the word and help HPAW grow! Well it has been a long road, but as with all road they must end. So too must HPAW with very viewership and the amount […]

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Marathon Continues At Last!

You read that title correctly! About 4 years later I have decided to finish off the Metroid Prime 3 Marathon. Partly in honour of Metoid’s 25th anniversary and partly because I recently got Metroid Prime Trilogy I have filmed the ending parts of the marathon. These final parts only feature Mempf and were originally streamed live on […]

Luigi’s Mansion Marathon

Taking a break from the F.E.A.R. M.E. Again project and with a new Luigi’s Mansion on the way for 3DS we decided to take a look at one of the Gamecube’s launch titles, Lugi’s Mansion. However there is a twist, we did not use a Gamecube and we did not use a Wii to play […]

F.E.A.R. M.E. Again: F.E.A.R. 3

F.E.A.R. 3 came out recently and for the first time ever I am filming a true first encounter marathon for a F.E.A.R. Game. This means I have never played FEAR 3 before and all impressions are initial and likely to change. This marathon is also unlike traditional marathons in that it will be filmed in smaller […]

Portal 2 Marathon

By popular demand and largely because Valve released the Portal 2 soundtrack for free I decided that our Co-op marathon while awesome was not enough. We need the full single player story as well! The sequel to a game we covered in an episode needed a marathon and here it is with one of the best […]

L.A. Noire Special

As discussed in our L.A. Noire episode, HPAW presents the L.A. Noire Vice special! In this quasi-marathon, WorldGone Awry joined by Teclis and Mempf play through the L.A. Noire vice case files in a 3 part special. While the episode was spoiler safe for the most part this special most certainly is not! What have we […]

HPAW June 9th 2011: L.A. Noire

It’s the end of e3 and we need LAPD’s finest detective to solve this mystery. Cole Phelps and WorldGone Awry are on the case. Joining Mempf, Teclis and WorldGone Awry this week is Kaisuke as we show off L.A. Noire and talk about the latest happenings at e3 2011. We also talk about our own […]

Portal 2 Co-op Marathon

The cake is still a lie, but it does not matter, because we are robots now! The HPAW cast moves to do its first ever PC co-op marathon using a computer built out of spare parts. Mempf, Teclis, Kaisuke, WorldGone Awry and Biske come together to complete the cooperative testing experience that is Portal 2. […]

Crysis 2 Marathon

Patch 1.2 released for Crysis 2. This has apparently fixed the Nano-Catalyst and melee after death bugs.  I have not yet tested the accuracy of this. Never the less, this entire marathon was filmed at version 1.1 and was affected by the previously mentioned bugs. Crysis returns to the world again, and we have a marathon to […]

Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D Marathon in 3D! Coming June!

I am proud to announce that HPAW will be acquiring a new 3D camera for an upcoming Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D marathon on the Nintendo 3DS! The game should be coming out in June and the marathon will be on launch day and first encounter (well, it is Ocarina of Time, so yeah). We expect […]

HPAW Presents: 3DS Quest

Today is Sunday March 27th, the day the Nintendo 3DS launched and Teclis, Kaisuke and Mempf travel to the same place we went to get our DS. This is largely unedited and will be split into two parts: The Retrieval and The Unboxing. Please enjoy, Crysis 2 Marathon Parts to appear soon.

HPAW March 12th 2011: Amnesia The Dark Descent

HPAW takes a suggestion from the forums! This week we have WorldGone Awry playing the beginning of Amnesia: The Dark Descent (I am aware I repeatability incorrectly called the game Amnesia: The Darkest Descent). WorldGone Awry should be well out of his comfort zone as he is unable to fight the insanity that consumes him. […]

HPAW February 4th 2011: Special Two Part Episode!

Welcome to 2011 HPAW fans! Since its already the second month of the year why not kick things off with a two part episode! Unfortunately 2011 also marks the departure of Kaisuke as a cast member (we look forward to future guest appearances!), however, we plan to fill his spot ASAP. Other than that we […]

Fallout: New Vegas Marathon

Welcome to the latest post-apocalyptic world of New Vegas and let WorldGone Awry be your tour guide in this wacky wasteland. Coming along for the ride as usual are Mempf, Teclis and Biske, so hold on to your hats and join us in the world of Fallout: New Vegas. This marathon will be filmed over multiple days (busy schedule’s are […]

HPAW December 2nd: Call of Duty Black Ops

HPAW is back with the newest game in the Call of Duty franchise. Black Light was kind enough to bring in his copy of the game and demonstrate both the exciting single player campaign and the refreshed multiplayer. Joining Black Light we have a full cast with a few things to talk about including our YouTube return and […]

Fallout: New Vegas Marathon Preview

We had to reschedule this weeks episode; however, since we had the group together we decided to film a preview to our upcoming Fallout: New Vegas Marathon! We are going for a more “Oblivion” styled marathon starting arbitrarily along the story and doing what ever we feel like, the way Fallout is supposed to be. So please take a […]

HPAW November 2nd: Kirby’s Epic Yarn

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Marathon Teaser

Metroid: Other M Marathon

HPAW returns from its summer holidays with a brand new Metroid adventure. It may have a new different format but make no mistake, this is a Metroid game. It’s packed full of so much Metroid fan service, and truly bridges Super Metroid to Metroid Fusion. Join Mempf and Teclis on this  new Metroid adventure for […]

HPAW July 11th 2010: Left 4 Dead 2

HPAW is back from the dead as a zombie to eat all your brains! Wait no, let’s try that again. HPAW is back to KILL some zombies or as I like to say trimming the hedge, thinning the numbers. WorldGone Awry brings his real life zombie killing experiences to the HPAW recording studio to give […]

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Marathon

HPAW returns with new marathon on potential game of the year, Super Mario Galaxy 2! This is quite possibly the closest in proximity two marathons have ever been, filmed one weekend after the Splinter Cell: Conviction Marathon. Join a full cast, Nw Striker and WorldGone Awry for a long multi-part marathon chronicling Mario’s latest adventures!

Splinter Cell: Conviction Marathon

First all all, the things we went through to bring you this marathon, delay after delay, technical problems and DRM. But we did it and its done! This May long weekend the HPAW cast + WorldGone Awry (yes that’s right) take on the single player campaign of Splinter Cell: Conviction for the PC and Xbox […]

HPAW April 17th: God of War 3

HPAW is back with one last episode before our Splinter Cell: Conviction Marathon, God of War 3 for the PS3. Joining a full cast this week is Nw Striker and WorldGone Awry as we take a 2 hour look at the start of God of War 3. The violence is high, Kratos is angry and […]

HPAW April 2nd: Heavy Rain

HPAW returns with another new episode. This time the rain is heavy, the mood just right, a near perfect execution of story telling. Heavy Rain is this weeks focus and although we have a slow start (first encounter episode) the game really drew me in. We have a full cast (and a guest, kinda) so […]

HPAW March 14th: Supreme Commander 2

Now that the Olympics are over (Go Canada Go!) and the Mass Effect 2 marathon is behind us, we can continue our 2010 season. This week we bring you the first official RTS game featured on HPAW and my new personal favorite, Supreme Commander 2 for the PC (also available on Xbox 360). This game has large maps, […]

Mass Effect 2 Marathon

On Saturday we started to film our Mass Effect 2 Marathon; just days after the game launched we bring you what could be our best marathon yet.

HPAW January 22nd: Assassin’s Creed 2

This week Teclis brings in Assassin’s Creed 2 for the Xbox 360 and shows us how much the game has changed and evolved since the original. We have a full cast and both Nw striker and WorldGone Awry for this episode, so enjoy the first episode filmed in 2010! We may end up canceling our Modern […]

HPAW December 31st: Batman Arkham Asylum

HPAW kicks off its new 2010 season in the last few minutes of 2009. This episode we look at a fan requested episode Batman: Arkham Asylum. New art, new music and even new video encoding settings; we have everything except for Biske (but we do have WorldGone Awry). So sit back and enjoy the last days […]

We are not dead!

We have received some concerns about our lack of updates lately. I’d like you you all to know we are not dead or canceling HPAW or anything crazy. We have, however, been very busy until recently with final exams, new jobs and Christmas mayhem. Starting after Christmas (hopefully before New Years but don’t hold youe […]

HPAW November 14th: New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Welcome to another (on schedule!) HPAW episode. This week we feature a “co-op” Mario game for the Wii. Co-op really is a relative term but the fun is there no matter what. Unfortunately Biske was unable to join us this week but we were once again able to get both WorldGone Awry and Nw Striker […]

HPAW October 31st: Tekken 6

You heard the possibility of a Tekken 6 episode and it’s true Biske was able to get a copy of the game for us to play. Once again we have a full cast along with WorldGone Awry and Nw Striker. Also note that you can now seek to any place in the video in our […]

Please bare with us while we perform this testing, we expect downtime to be minimal. SERVER HAS BEEN MOVED PLEASE REPORT ALL REMAINING ISSUES! YOU CAN NOW SEEK TO ANY POSITION IN […]

HPAW October 17th: Halo 3 ODST Firefight

Well we heard your disappointment in the lack of Firefight in our ODST marathon and originally we had planned to include it in our marathon. However technical issues resulted in the marathon ending much later than planned and the removal of the Firefight section. To make up for this we present a Firefight featured episode […]

HPAW Needs Your Help!

UPDATE WiiQuest Documentary now available in HPAW player It’s that time of year, our web hosting agreement is nearing renewing but HPAW’s funds are low. We have never accepted donations and that is still the case, HOWEVER a deal with our webhost says if refer people they the bill will be payed for. So if […]

Halo 3: ODST Marathon

UPDATE: Extra Part has been released. HD download only! Did anyone mention HPAW Retro? No I don’t mean old games, I mean old cast. That’s right we have Nw Striker AND WorldGone Awry in the studio for this special expansion. I say special expansion because a lot of what I saw during the marathon wasn’t […]

HPAW September 18th: FEAR 2: Reborn

Well we have less than one week to go before we start our Halo 3: ODST Marathon but before that we have a regularly scheduled episode. We initially had some trouble trying to decide what game we should do for this episode but when we started to discuss it in detail the answer became clear […]

The answer is yes, we have another start to finish marathon on Crysis: Warhead. This marathon features a full cast consisting of Mempf, Teclis, Biske and Kaisuke. Both […]

Goodbye YouTube

Well it seems like it finally happened. We got “3 strikes” on our YouTube account and automatically suspended. We saw this coming a couple of weeks ago and started to make preparations in case this occurred. We will not let this affect HPAW as we now have our own video player that should work for […]

Summer of Crysis: Crysis Marathon

Welcome to the long awaited (by us) Crysis Marathon. Crysis is a game which I have wanted to feature on HPAW since it came out, however, my PC never had the power until now. It wasn’t that my computer couldn’t handle Crysis at max settings, it’s that it couldn’t handle recording Crysis at the same […]

Summer of Crysis Preview

Hello and welcome to the preview of the upcoming HPAW project, Summer of Crysis. Summer of Crysis is a start to finish marathon featuring the cast of the Kingdom Hearts 2 Marathon. We really wanted to do a true start to finish marathon without any large gaps in between any of the parts, just like […]

Poll of the Week: June 27th

The return of the poll! I need help in determining what filesize (which relates directly to video quality) we should use to appeal to the largest number of people. We currently have a guideline not to pass the 1.5GB/video mark. The main considerations are how much disk space people have (if they can store it), […]

HPAW June 11th 2009: Prototype

Welcome to another episode of HPAW. This week we had a plan but that plan changed when WorldGone Awry showed up.
