After a month or so of keeping our fans (both of them) in suspense, I'm more than pleased to announce...
HAWP IS BACK!
We're now being hosted at GameTrailers, and you can see the newest and Braid-est episode here.
Though you might initially scoff at having to go to a different Web site to fulfill your trimonthly dose of Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin, know this: our videos, supported by the Herculean servers at GameTrailers, are now being shown in full HD. Every pockmark, every inch of stubble, and every creepily bugged-out Ashly stare will henceforth be available in eye-popping high definition.
HAWP is back, and more highly defined than ever.
Tell your friends.

They have even more assholes than us!
That is all.
I like it cause it's random and doesn't take each episode very seriously.
Much respect for the Rev and his reviews. and his sister i guess....
I didn't like it, and I bloody love HAWP. I see what you were trying to do but it didn't work. It had nothing to do with Braid, it just used the idea of time control, which is not a Braid-exclusive theme. You should have included elements of Braid in the game, such as the green outline for persistent objects and so on.
I can't really suggest that many ideas for change because it is what it is, I would have just done it differently. I think I would have made it so that Ashley was calling Anthony's Foetus the princess, which would have given way to the phrase "Sorry, but your Princess/Foetus is in another womb". Also, when Ash tried to touch Anthony, he detonates.
Alternatively, you could parody this episode by doing another Braid-themed video and use it to "undo" this one.
It sounds kinda weak right now because it's unrefined. I just feel there was a lot more potential with that joke. It's like thinking with portals; there are millions of possibilities. Overall, not the best introduction to Gametrailers, IMO.
Rev, I know you want to try to turn HAWP into something like a franchise, or whatever you want to call it, but I really don't see it happening this way. There is not a single video site on the internet that isn't filled to the brim with morons. You should just keep making them for Destructoid and let it take off on its own, because I really don't see you successfully forcing this into fruition. The nature of the beast prohibits it, it would seem.
..at least post a damn video here
I've heard other people featured on GT discuss their payment, I didn't realize it was an off limits question.
HA! Someone saw the /b/ meme.
The bit where Anthony is like "goddamit" when eating his cereal, funny funny stuff. Rest of the video? Like UglyPhil said, wtf did this have to do with braid? The videos are really starting to turn into just "Watch my family" videos. I'm guessing the next one won't even be about video games at all. The first few were good but between this and the craptacular Batman one, maybe HAWP has had its run.
Ashly reversed time. Time-reversal is the key mechanic in Braid. Thus, related. Also, the Batman one was brilliant. Shoosh.
Anthony wore a shirt, the guy from Braid wears a shirt too. Thus related?
Like I said, poor connection between the two. This was more of a parody of Back to the Future or Terminator than Braid.
To be honest, this episode sucked, the conenction to Braid is understandable to anyone who knows about the game but as TurboSpaz said, the connection wasn't strong at all. Braid wasn't very relevant to the episode.
Hopefully this is just one low point in what has been a series of highs.
Um, would it be possible for you people to embed the GameTrailers video onto this page? I'd rather not have to go anywhere other than Destructoid, ever.
You guys deserve to be on gametrailers! you are fucking awesome!
I'll be sure to keep watching you guys :-) keep up the great work!
I'm weirded out by the fact you're only a year older than me. Jesus, what have I done with my life? You're 21 and writing for a website, and here I am with what? Oh yeah, SCIENCE.
I don't mind at all that HAWP is being posted on Gametrailers, if Anthony and Ashley want to make a bit of money out of it then why not, more power to them. However it's those bastards on Gametrailers who don't even know what it is but are more than ready to prejudice against it that piss me off. If you don't like it then shut the fuck up and go back to watching game trailers or whatever it is you do on that site - it's not for you cunts anyway, it's for us at Destructoid.
Meh, I didn't have a problem with it. The only complaint I have is that they didn't dress Ashly up like Tim.
Chapter 1: The Comic Convention
His quivering tumescence could no longer bear her presence, and he emptied his love across her spectacles. Newly decorated with his affection, she smiled at him as he felt a stitched paw on his shoulder, leading to the wolven visage of a virile young man. "Come on", she said, "let's get this train up and running."
He knew the night was just beginning...
Purple Prose Pr0n is the best.
"Gay"
"Was that supposed to be funny?"
"She's kinda hot"
I feel like I'm at a fancy dinner part with such rich dialogue like that!
I will spend the next few days in morning over this horrible event.
I'm not aware of any rules here, in particular, but at least in general, I was raised not to ask people about their money. Not taking the piss out of you or anything, but when I saw "inappropriate", that's immediately the first thing I thought. S'not usually the kind of thing one walks up and asks someone they don't really know.
