The groundwork is laid for the above Two Worlds II promotional video in episode one, but the comedic talent is obvious even if you come in blind. What makes the video work so well is a combination of being self-deprecating, using clever writing, finding humor even in the editing, and hiring a fantastically funny actress like Suzanne Krull. And you can't very well not give credit to the wonderfully ridiculous Sordohon suit, which was pulled out of a closet where it had been sitting since it was made to promote the original game a few years ago.

I'm predicting this will be the videogame equivalent of the Old Spice Guy campaign. The ongoing series was produced by Two World publisher Southpeak Interactive in collaboration with a comedian named Ian Bagg. Expect at least two more weekly installments. South Peak tells me they've been so pleased with the reaction that they're looking to extend the series beyond the few episodes remaining. Also available soon: "Gandohar calling" ring tones. No joke.
