Clusterfuck Managed

Got another big functionality update for you guys today, are you ready for it?

Today we've merged the Short Cox and Josh TV pages into the brand new Videos page. You'll also notice that the new section features the videos created under our Dark Jester Network label. I've also shifted a couple of videos that used to be under the Josh TV section over to the Dark Jester Network section, because truthfully, some of those videos weren't actually episodes of Josh TV. The new Videos section has all of our content in (currently) 3 categories (Josh TV, Short Cox, and Dark Jester Network). As we produce more content, the categories will grow. So how can somebody keep up with all of those categories? Well we've included a Latest Video link at the very top of the page so you can always view the latest piece of stupid we've posted in the video section.

Also, I've begun the slow process of switching all of our videos over to the Vimeo video service. Over the years we've gone from YouTube to Google Video to Viddler and ultimately found a good home at Vimeo. With YouTube and Google Video we ran into some copyright and "content" issues, leading to some of our videos being blocked or outright deleted. We then switched to Viddler, but soon after found Vimeo, which to us is a much better service. So, we're switching everything over to Vimeo so all of our videos use the same player and provide an overall more consistent viewing experience for you, the viewers.

Lastly, as we make this switch to Vimeo, we'll be releasing rarely seen videos from the old Dark Jester Network that got buried in obscurity when the original site went under. Already, we have one of the original promo videos we shot for the DJN's original launch, a completely embarrassing Super Smash Bros. Brawl match between myself and former DJN collaborator, Randall Danger, and the first episode of our short-lived DJN original series 2 Guys Living in an Apartment. Also, I've added the Short Cox episode "Telephone" to the Short Cox section after having been absent entirely from the website since we shot it, as well as tacking on an old DJN video there as a Short Cox episode (since it doesn't really "fit" as a DJN short) titled "Firecrackers".

So enjoy our new Videos page, friends. Once all the site-building around here is complete, you can expect it to keep growing. For now, keep an eye on it as we continue to throw all of the old DJN content on there. Peace!
