Building Block World: The Paradise Getaway

This episode was originally going to be recorded by Alex, but due to technical difficulties we had to use a filter instead. Thankfully we live in the day and age of NTSC-RS, a software that can produce a very convincing VHS filter and renders very quickly.

Alex Parr here; I had bought a (stock) "Phat" Xbox 360 specifically for this purpose, at least until I could get my main console fixed. Unfortunately, whenever I went to record something onto a VHS tape with it, for some reason the image would always come back out in black and white! I'm not sure why; the raw video signal would always display fine otherwise, and I didn't have this problem with my Slim. It wasn't my VCR either; I recorded some SNES footage directly after this and it came out just fine. Again, I just had to get my equipment cheap, didn't I? Oh well, it is what it is I suppose.

This is the only episode to have an epilepsy disclaimer. This is due to the glitches in Will and Bea: The Game.

Unlike most episodes, this one is not based on my dreams, since I couldn't remember any at the time.

The events in the recap have absolutely nothing to do with this episode or any of the previous episodes.

Mr. Potato Head's appearance in the recap is based on One-Eyed Bart from the first Toy Story, with the missing eye and the green gun.

Patricia doesn't actually have a third eye.

Charlotte and Rose's conversation is based on the fact that the Balloons haven't had very many major roles in the series.

MKClassics is (obviously) a riff on DKOldies, an online game store notorious for scamming and ripping off their customers.

The giant Atari 5200 power supply is a riff on how heavy the official power supply is in real life.

The scene where Cami states she's 23 was Alex's idea.

Speaking of the aforementioned scene, it was animated in Flash in my usual style.

Alex Parr here; the part where Yardly pops just from hearing the word "pop" was also my idea. I wrote a similar joke and sent it to Kaie about four months prior to him writing the script for this episode.

This episode marks the return of Atari and his not-so-great attempts at making games.

The "Break the Fireline" cover was composed in Furnace Tracker and is one of the few tracks on the show to not be a MIDI.

Mr. Furby's "HA HA!" originally wasn't in the script, but Johnny shouted it during our recording session, and I thought it was so funny I decided to just add it in.

This episode marks the return of the "THE END" gag from S1E2. I always wanted to make it a recurring gag, but I kept forgetting about it until this episode.
