Neil Cicierega the Live Journal

AHHH

2009-10-26T18:23:30Z

Some sort of horrible malware infected a bazillion pages on me and my family's sites, eviltrailmix, lemondemon, potterpuppetpals, etc. Please bear with us while the sites are temporarily shut down and being cleaned up.
I'd also appreciate any advice for fighting this infection. I think it's some incarnation of the one known as Gumblar/JSRedir-R/Martuz, but most of the news and info about that one is from May. I have no idea if there's a current epidemic of it.

McShark....

2009-05-08T22:36:36Z

http://www.hollywoodeasttv.com/profile/NeilCicierega

All three parts of McShark are now up. Live the adventure. Feel the action. See... McShark.

Wow

2009-05-06T00:16:20Z

I just got a letter addressed to "HARRY POTTER, 17 Summer Street, Kingston MA", return address "RON WEASLEY, The Burrow" and completely covered in stamps on both sides. Inside was a piece of paper asking if I'd like to spend the summer with Ron and his ridiculously large family.

Really, this really happened.

Two videos!

2009-05-01T21:21:39Z

Our two latest videos:

RYAN MURPHY: PSYCHIC FRIEND
In this video, Ryan Murphy plays an infomercial psychic with incredible accuracy.

MCSHARK: PART ONE
McShark is an imaginary 80s action show, supposedly cooked up by executives during a one-month period in 1986 when pool was the hottest thing. This is part one of three-- the next part will be up on Tuesday, and the final installment next Friday.

The Questioning

2009-04-12T16:15:45Z

Hey everyone watch this video. Especially 90s kids.

We're gonna try to post weekly videos from now on! We've got a few good ones lined up. This one is a Ryan Murphy invention... It starts out with a realistic depiction of our average day at work and quickly turns into a fantastic vision of a world where Balloons can Talk.

2009-03-11T21:03:17Z

Hey guys. I am not dead. Here are some PREVIEW IMAGES FOR FUTURE VIDEOS

NY ComicCon

2009-01-27T19:07:24Z

I am going to ComicCon in New York this february 6th! Anyone else going?

This was a return to a sort of rushed creativity that I haven't had a chance to do lately-- I bought the toys one day, recorded the song the next day, and finished the video the day after that.

2008 happened

2009-01-03T02:33:19Z

I've done this a few times (forgot to last year) and I always hope it doesn't come across as braggy, I just like to sum up everything I did in a year so I can look back on it later. And, of course, brag.

I directed or otherwise helped create 30-something videos, including: Neil Saves Christmas 2, Rugrats, Button, School Is For Losers, Slumber Party, Breakfast Buddies, Ben Bernanke, Awakening of the Incorruptible, The Vortex, YouTube User Purge, Bleed With Me Harry, The Prognosis, the Flim Fest 2008 commercial, Hollywood East, the View-Monster commercial, Bigfoot Begins, a bunch of NKOTR videos, a bunch of various videos for hollwoodeasttv.com, and 123456 Pokemon.

I played 7 Lemon Demon shows, in such exotic locals as Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Michigan.

I bought a Panasonic DVX100b video camera.

I held a YouTube death threat contest and received over 300 entries.

I scanned a whole Harry Potter coloring book and let Something Awful destroy it.

I did much Flickring.

My beloved pet rat Betty passed away. :(

YOUTUBE MADNESS!
- "The Mysterious Ticking Noise" was nominated for a YouTube Award, which I subsequently won in a landslide!
- YouTube invited me to a mini press tour in New York City.
- I got to visit the Google offices.
- I was on the Fox News channel, where I was glossed over by Shepard Smith.
- And Good Morning America, which was somehow just as condescending.
- I met Tay Zonday, who honored me with an ancient dagger made by his ancestors.
- I also met Felicia Day, who honored me with a Tay Zonday.
- I was featured by local news (Boston's Fox and NBC affiliates) who were both incredibly nice.
- I became a YouTube Partner, which means I earn money for doing nothing.
- I posted a ten minute long video of myself sexually molesting the trophy.
- Weezer requested that the Potter Puppet Pals appear in their music video for "Pork'n'Beans". They had me FedEx the puppets to California, but they didn't arrive in time for the shoot! We played much phone tag and managed to track the puppets down in a FedEx warehouse in Tennessee, and got them sent back to us. Meanwhile, the music video people created their own naked Dumbledore puppet, which can be seen incredibly briefly in the background of one shot in the video. Whoo?
Lemon Demon was invited to play at ROFLcon, an "internet culture" convention in Boston. We played and had a good time. I met Tron Guy, who honored me with a mystical kiss.

I redesigned Lemondemon.com and relaunched the forums, which had been dead.

I RELEASED VIEW-MONSTER, MY GREATEST CD YET.

I met Josh Bethoney and Rich Kearney, two cool important guys working for Plymouth Rock Studios, a film studio set to be built in Plymouth, MA.

Me and my friends Ryan Murphy and Kevin James created Hollywood East!, a video to promote the studio, and went on to continue doing so as the New Kids on the Rock.

I HAD LEMONIC DEMONADE '08, MY GREATEST LEMON DEMON SHOW/PARTY/MEETUP YET.

I turned 22 years old.

I met Ming Doyle, who is now my wonderful girlfriend.

I started working at the Plymouth Rock Studios offices, making miscellaneous videos for their website. My first real job ever!

I was flamed to death in the Something Awful subforum Helldump, where the forums' most successful goons lambasted everything I hold dear, which hurt me terribly so.

Lemon Demon played at Youmacon in Michigan for the second time, where I met the actors who played Zack and Bulk from Power Rangers, who honored me with jars of organic honey.

I helped Barack Obama win the Presidency by donating, and dancing.

I sold over 900 CDs through cdfreedom.com.

I think the only concerts I went to that I wasn't a part of were Jonathan Coulton shows. Well, he's cool.

I didn't go on Second Life once.

My older sister Leah is going to be having her third baby next year. This is exciting, because she makes fine quality children.

I got a theremin for Christmas.

I have a ton of people to thank for helping make this the best year I've ever had. Thank you, ton of people. :)

New Kids on the Rock: Ryan's Christmas Wish (part 3)

PART THREE!

(Part one is here. Part two is here.)

Merry Christmas, y'all! I'll most likely have the full uninterrupted version on Youtube, in glorious "HD" pretty soon. Hope you've all enjoyed our Christmas antics!

The Continental

2008-12-22T04:58:51Z

Now, I'm sure you've all seen the famous SNL skits with Christopher Walken as "The Continental"... I only recently discovered that these are actually a parody of a short-lived 1950s show with the same title and gimmick. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Continental_(TV)
Yes, lonely women in the 50s could tune in every week and be seduced over the airwaves by some suave berobed man talking to the camera. It really happened.

I MUST see this. If anyone knows where I can see some clips from this show, help me out! YouTube is no help. I am a desperate and lonely 1950s woman.

New Kids on the Rock: Ryan's Christmas Wish (part 2)
