    Wait - do you even watch the video before you comment? Or is being first that great an achievement?

  • eric (guest) wrote in reply on April 1, 6:05 pm

  • Lazlo319 (guest) wrote on March 31, 8:41 am

    1st! Cool!

  • apstinky wrote on March 31, 8:42 am

    Nice, how long is your eye going to be messed up? I actually like the new style, adds character. You should get an eye patch, and then dress like a pirate for your next Q and Erik.

  • Fisherking wrote on March 31, 8:43 am

    Fantastic!

    More Justin's girlfriend, please - she is gorgeous.

  • MarcJo33 wrote on March 31, 11:32 am

    At about 2:43 you can see Erik hurt his eye in super speed. Looks painful. I hope your eye gets better soon Erik!

  • Aiden (guest) wrote in reply on March 31, 2:59 pm

    Thats 3:03, bub

  • MarcJo33 wrote in reply on March 31, 4:18 pm

    Sorry, my mistake. It is 3:03. Not sure where I got 2:43 from!

  • Florian (guest) wrote on March 31, 11:43 am

    nice, twitch and riot gear :P.

    The test film looked kinda cool :).

  • Mythicman (guest) wrote on March 31, 1:19 pm

    That test film looked really beautifully shot! It was gorgeously lit. The editing in it was really sharp as well. Kudos.

    By the way. When I first saw it, I thought Eric's fringe had just gotten in his eye. Get a haircut Eric!

  • poobum111 (guest) wrote on March 31, 2:43 pm

    dear erik,
    did the peice of pink ting, actully get stuck in ur eyeball? just curious......get better soon.

  • texabyte wrote on March 31, 3:05 pm

  • MacevoyProductions wrote on March 31, 3:09 pm

    My friend and I were building a snorri cam and I wasn't thinking and I had my arm underneath where he was sawing. Next thing I knew, my arm had 4 puncture wounds in it. I have a pretty impressive scar from it. Be proud Eric! It was all in the name of film making!

  • toppie34 wrote on March 31, 3:23 pm

  • Rondo wrote on March 31, 4:42 pm

    Hope your reyes heals soon Erik, I guess the death ray got the better of you.

  • ResidentEman wrote on March 31, 4:47 pm

    LOL. Awesome. I could probably apply a similar process to making a gun turret. That would be badass!

  • Rederick42 wrote on March 31, 5:05 pm

    That right kids, always use eye protection. Eye protection and condoms. Get well soon Erick!!!

  • ugman77 wrote on March 31, 5:06 pm

    wow looks great! and the eye injury painful...hope its feeling better. im pretty bad about wearing eye protection too. was it like a plastic shard or something?

  • KMProductions wrote on March 31, 5:06 pm

    That was a great build! Sorry about your eye.

  • Sminc wrote on March 31, 5:07 pm

  • Atomicpenguin12 (guest) wrote on March 31, 5:13 pm

    Dude, you should totally put a pirate's eyepatch over that bandage. you could even do a Pirate theme for a few weeks until the bandage comes off

  • randomman (guest) wrote on March 31, 5:13 pm

    Nice build!
    Very imaginitive. These are always very creative.
    Also, sorry bout your eye there, dude.

  • ciwi286 wrote on March 31, 6:32 pm

    Hey guys great episode. Hope your eye gets better soon Erik.

    What do you mean in the description "guest directed by Justin Johnson"...I thought he directed all of them?

  • Justinsuperstar wrote in reply on March 31, 8:33 pm

    Erik usually directs himself in the show. I hop on and do test films whenever he feels he won't be able to turn the episode around otherwise.

  • goldenkirby wrote on March 31, 6:39 pm

    does this mean that we can have a contest to see who can guess what color eyepatch Erik will wear next? or is it going to stay as a paper towel taped over his wounded eyballs?

  • goldenkirby wrote on March 31, 6:41 pm

    hey does this also mean you have a shard of pink plastic inside of yur eyeball? maybe you should mention that when girls ask about it. Chicks dig battle scars on a man =D

  • Kevin (guest) wrote on March 31, 8:48 pm
