Sn4tchbuckl3r was Donnie's World of Warcraft guild buddy who was often interrupting his angsty photoshop tutorial/relationship crises with increasingly persistent demands to come back and play the game.
This new series sees Sn4tchbuckl3r coming to terms with his MMORPG addiction and seeking help in a new (Second Life/Sims looking) game dedicated to teaching gamers how to be better people.
I've only seen the first episode so far but it's absolute gold. They've made about half a dozen so far with more to come.
Best gag so far - "What's the key command for curling myself up into the foetal position and crying myself to sleep?" "Shift-Command-C - but it's not available until beta 2".
(Evidently there all also plans to revive the "You suck at Photoshop" series too (which recently picked up both the Best How-to and Best Comedy series videos in the Webby awards). A story on Wired tells us that:
"Once fans began to realize this was the end of Donnie Hoyle, there was a sudden outcry of anger and confusion," said Hitch, who voices the tutorials, in a phone interview. "People were sending hate mail ... posting [threatening] comments and generally doing everything in their individual web 2.0 power to get us to bring Donnie back."
Hate mail and threats? - FFS, seriously. What are some Internet people like?
Anyway, I'm happy to hear it will be back as it is a great series.
