Episodes

BoL is intended to be an ongoing series. The following outlines comprise the initial four episodes currently under post production:

EPISODE 1 - “PITFALL!”
The soldiers of Bravo Company prepare to launch the Nintendo NES in Europe on L-Day. They amass their gear in anticipation of being dropped over enemy lines by helicopter. They are frustrated by delays that force L-Day to be moved ahead one day.

That evening Warez and Camp take time to reflect on their training under Jaggie. We are introduced to the rest of the soldiers in Bravo through their experience training on pre 8-Bit machines. Lt. Jaggie leads the men through strict training, featuring time runs of Intellivision’s Pitfall.

The men celebrate the end of their basic training and receive their dog tags. Now they are part of the “Pixel Dogs” – the colloquial name for Bravo Company. Once in Europe, the men undergo some final training, and we catch up to where we started the episode – with L-Day delayed until morning. We end the episode with the morning of L-Day, when soldiers board 8-bit helicopters and head out towards Europe.



EPISODE 2 - “BAD PINS”
The Gamer Army experiences heavy losses when Bad Pins in the Nintendo NES launch console cause numerous launch casualties.

Warez is the sole survivor of his helicopter after his helicopter is damaged. In the morning, Warez talks to Lt. Roe and Col. Douglas and Bravo is tasked with capturing a Segite fortress with the aid of Peenaw from Kilo Company.

EPISODE 3
The first public screening of BoL (episodes 1 and 2, along with the world premiere of episode 3) will be held in Toronto at Innis Theatre on the UofT campus September 30th.
