So Freddiew just posted a video regarding a new project that they will be working on and will be releasing in the new year. They are ask for pledges to help support the project
They have many  different pledge reward packages, I think this would be a really good way to show support world wide by using bitcoins as a way to donate.

One of the larger package would be producer credit in their series/feature

Pledge $1,000 or more
3 Backers
All the above, PLUS: Associate Producer credit on the series, as well as your likeness inserted into the series.
Estimated Delivery: Mar 2012

The largest package being this one here.

Pledge $10,000 or more
0 Backers • Limited Reward (3 of 3 remaining)

All the above (except where noted), PLUS: Producer credit, a speaking walk-on role (or we work with you to get your likeness in the project)


I will be emailing them to see if they will add a bitcoin address for donation and what ever that address raised maybe support the pledge levels or maybe we can talk to bit-pay.com in setting up for this project.
Either way what ever Pledge package we get should show how easy it is for anyone in the world to donate even as little as a penny to the project.

If everyone donates a bitcoin or two I'm sure we could easily raise enough money for even one of the smaller package.
Also it would just be cool to be able to buy one of the pledge package around the world by using bitcoins.
What do you guys think? I think it be pretty sweet to have a bitcoin logo in the video or even in the end credit showing the support from bitcoiners,

Make sure to vote on the poll!

What is Video Game High School (VGHS)?

It's the near future: You're dead. Your kids are probably dead. Your grandkids (if they're alive) are playing video games. Why? Because professional gaming is the biggest sport on earth.

Around the world, millions of players duke it out in fighters, RTS’s, First Person Shooters and more. To the victors go the spoils: glory, clan contracts and million dollar endorsements. The best young gamers are recruited by elite boarding schools to sharpen their skills. The best of the best go to VGHS: VIDEO GAME HIGH SCHOOL.

VGHS is a feature-length action/comedy web series (9 episodes, ~10 mins per episode) about best friends, first loves, and landing that perfect head shot. It follows Brian, a young FPS player stuck in a town where he doesn’t belong. His fortunes change when he scores a massive kill against the world’s top amateur player: VGHS senior “The Law.”

Brian rockets into the national spotlight and lands an invite into the hallowed halls of VGHS. There his skills will be tested as he fights to fit in with the most talented gamers alive. Along the way he’ll make unlikely friends, fall in love with no-nonsense FPS hot shot, Jenny Matrix, and face powerful enemies – namely The Law, who vows to destroy Brian for good.

Will Brian’s dreams end before they’ve even started? Or will he pull it together and become the gamer he was born to be?

Here the video talking about the project.

Here is just a quick message i sent to their Ask A Question Link.

Hello Freddie, I'm apart of the Bitcoin community and have started a thread rallying support for your project, Bitcoin is a very easy way to donate since anyone can send even a penny with no fee, anyone can donate with in seconds from all around the world.

Would you add a bitcoin address to your site?

I will be talking to bit-pay.com also, this maybe easier then just sending bitcoins to you guys. So you wouldn't have to worry about exchanging the btc into USD.

What is bitcoin?

Please let me know what you think I will be talking with community regarding other options that may be easier to help support your project.

Thank you for your time.

So i got reply back from Mr. Wong.
It's seems that he knows about bitcoins and even have followed them in the past couple months.
Since the site works with Amazon payments. and since Amazon don't use bitcoins yet. we would most likly need an alternative if we want to use bitcoins. maybe something like http://www.bitcoin-charity.com/ or if we can set something up with bit-pay.com, i've sent them a msg will see what happens.

Unfortunately, Kickstarter works through Amazon payments, so we'll be unable to accept bitcoin payments.

The nature of the bitcoin market, from what I've seen in the past couple of months, has been extremely volatile, and unfortunately, we'd need to convert bitcoin back into USD at the end of the day because there are no production expenses we can pay through BTC.

No one is forcing anyone to give away money here, it was just a post for those who like his work, and a chance to get some exposure for bitcoin to the general public. Either way i will be doing a pledge of my own. Just saw this as a great opportunity to share bitcoin with millions of youtube viewers, and show how easy it is for anyone around the world to donate and rally together.

Really? You don't know Freddiew?

I think he may be the second most famous guy on Youtube. He's actually the only podcast (I guess you call it?) that I actually watch.

My favorite is the real life Aimbot. :-D

This thread is nothing but pointless trolls. 2 more people to add to the ignore list. Who gives a fuck who posts where? Seriously. Get over yourself.

I just don't get it. How is the act of giving some guy bitcoin a plug for bitcoin, or in any way sharing it with millions of youtube users?

Honestly, I don't get that or how the OP is connected to him. I guess I threw you in with the other guy who was just trolling because he posts on SomethingAwful or something like that. lol.

I'm not connected to the OP nor do I even understand what he's doing.

This is not a dumb idea. My problem is that I don't like his videos that much.

Well, if you setup the BTC payment maybe I'll donate half a Bitcoin or something... Just because I like bitcoins Tongue
