So recently, I got it in my head to go back and re-film all of Neverending Nights in 1080p HD (originally it was in like 800x600 or possibly even worse, back in 2004).
I plan on releasing each new HD version every Saturday (released 3 so far)... Unfortunately, the audio is all the original (I try to clean it up where I can and improve it)...
First episode is here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Wr4-u9-zw0&index=1&list=PLbRG7dzFI-u3EJd0usasgDrrFO3mZ1lOZ
Episodes 2, 3 and 4 are now available also. (See the above post for the link and the play list).
Episode 03 contains a "Sierra" reference for any interested in trying to spot it. (Should be pretty easy).
Episode 04, 05 and 06 are released. I just released 06 right now. (If anyone is interested?)
Episode 07 - Things That Make You Go... Boom? - HD
https://youtu.be/Bytt4jTOe1U
Not sure if anyone's even reading this (since there's been no replies) - but...
Episode 08 in HD:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovs8CFih5_g&feature=youtu.be
This was one of the episodes that had audio issues in the original. I tried to fix it, but sadly there was only so much I could do. :(
Episode 09 in 1080p HD is now available!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmyZfjJKLWg&list=PLbRG7dzFI-u3EJd0usasgDrrFO3mZ1lOZ&index=9
Now that Peter & Grayson have flashy armor - will they be able to find some flashy weapons?
Episode 10 in 1080p HD is now available!
Peter the Ranger and Grayson the Fighter come across their good, old, friend Pawl the Dorf - who wants their help exploring a cave. What could possibly go wrong?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2NqGyhJnP8&list=PLbRG7dzFI-u3EJd0usasgDrrFO3mZ1lOZ&index=10
When we originally released this episode "back in the day" - it was a fan favorite. So much so that we would eventually implement the three goblins into the story much more...
Episode 11 - HD - Deep, Dark, Revenge
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVgOZ_eSJdc&index=11&list=PLbRG7dzFI-u3EJd0usasgDrrFO3mZ1lOZ
Episode 12 - Where There's Smoke... in 1080p HD is now available!

Episode 13 in 1080p HD - "In & Out, A Hero's Tale" is now available!
Peter and Grayson awaken to find that Pawl the Dorf still hasn't returned... while Peter "talks to the fish" in the lake... a mysterious voice begins to speak directly to Grayson's mind...
https://youtu.be/e4c0SuVI5tc
Episode 14 in 1080p HD - "Here Comes The Sand Again"
(For those missing the reference, it's a spoof on the 80's song title Here Comes The Rain Again (https://youtu.be/4c9r15O1JVw?t=34) by the Eurythmics).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79C2nLHVM7Y&index=14&list=PLbRG7dzFI-u3EJd0usasgDrrFO3mZ1lOZ
Will Peter and Grayson find their way out of the Arreis Desert? (Anyone notice something odd about the name of the Desert?) And where is Pawl the Dorf? Before this episode is over - one of them will be called "A Great Hero." How? Why? Watch the episode and find out!
Episode 15 in HD is available!
How can the situation for Peter and Grayson get any worse? Just watch, because it certainly does! BUT - Peter has come up with a new plan as they travel the deserts of Arreis! Will it work out? (Are you really wondering if it will? Because if you are, you've not been watching this show!) This episode also brings back a familiar face! (And foreshadows the coming of another character...)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxNJgNYYe_Y&index=15&list=PLbRG7dzFI-u3EJd0usasgDrrFO3mZ1lOZ
Episode 16 in 1080p HD is now available!
Peter & Grayson's luck can't remain "bad" all the time right?
Well, their luck finally takes a turn and Peter & Grayson seem to get a break! Also, the episode ventures around back to Pawl the Dorf whose luck also changes!
This episode introduces four new characters to the series!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCzmEd5aWpM&list=PLbRG7dzFI-u3EJd0usasgDrrFO3mZ1lOZ&index=16
Peter and Grayson head to the "Hero's Bar & Keep" for a drink... and a show? Things take a very strange twist for our dynamic heroes... very strange indeed... and the lady, seen at the pier previously (where Alan the Astounding most recently passed out), makes her presence known... and how does that tie in to our would be heroes? Watch Episode 17 of Neverending Nights and see!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmzApiwTLrE&index=17&list=PLbRG7dzFI-u3EJd0usasgDrrFO3mZ1lOZ
Double Dose! (I for got post about Episode 18 - and I just finished 19!) So... for your double pleasure...
EPISODE 18: PEPPER FLAVORED: Peter and Grayson leave the Hero's Bar & Keep (And Brothel) in the City of Ator and roam around, until the hear an all too familiar sound of a very special vendor. Out of salt (having used it on the Ice Cube Monster), Peter and Grayson make their way to see Poppy the Salt Vendor who happens to be in the City of Ator. While talking to Poppy the Salt Vendor, our two heroes learn that they're much closer to finishing their quest than either of them dared hope! What do I mean? Watch the episode and see! And if you enjoyed it, please share the video far and wide!
https://youtu.be/vGywEJUbRoA
and Episode 19: This episode introduces Daniel the Destructive (a role, that was originally intended for Alan the Astounding, however the actor was unable to commit to finishing the series; so Daniel the Destructive was created to replace him). This episode immediately establishes the kind of personality that Daniel the Destructive has (which is quite different than Alan the Astounding!), and the episode also focuses on Andrea the Assassin. We are given a clue as to why she's hunting down Peter and Grayson – and more particularly the sword that they have. We also meet Andrea's "mother" – and get wind of something called 'The Crimson Draco Legion.' This episode is essentially setting up Season 2.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvfRFALGVsM&index=19&list=PLbRG7dzFI-u3EJd0usasgDrrFO3mZ1lOZ
Episode 20 in HD.
This episode goes over everyone - we see Peter and Grayson discussing their plans - and their next move - to tackle the dragon! We also cut over to Andrea the Assassin and Daniel the Destructive as they take a short cut through the Plains of Desolation... and finally, cut over to Pawl the Dorf who meets some rather unique looking "Mountain Dwarves"...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pM19dI5Iogs&index=20&list=PLbRG7dzFI-u3EJd0usasgDrrFO3mZ1lOZ
At long last ... Episode 21, which back when we did this was the Season Finale for Season 1.
EPISODE 21: ACCUMULATION: Peter and Grayson finally build up the courage to face the Dragon of Ator! But not before they decide they need to solidify their courage with a little bit of Liquid Courage... However, when Peter and Grayson arrive – they take notice to the two heroes in the Yellow and Blue armor that they saw back at the City of Neverending – and ponder if these two heroes are here to kill the dragon that they're going to slay, to become rich and famous! Things unfold quickly, and we get to see several other characters – including the fate of Pawl the Dorf after meeting his mysterious (and extremely violent) "Mountain Cousins."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_nvEeKfiMo&index=21&list=PLbRG7dzFI-u3EJd0usasgDrrFO3mZ1lOZ
EPISODE 22: THIS IS 'DRAGON' ON TOO LONG: Peter and Grayson have stormed the Dragon of Ator's den to confront him, slay him, and become the greatest heroes the City of Neverending has ever heard of. Unfortunately, things do not go as smoothly as they had planned after storming through the Dragon's front gates...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Xx9KCMGzVE&index=22&list=PLbRG7dzFI-u3EJd0usasgDrrFO3mZ1lOZ
Forgot to post about Episode 23 here (though, I am not sure if folks here are interested? Not seen a comment one way or another in awhile!) :eek:
Episode 23: Oh How I Treasure... Treasure!
Short episode. Peter and Grayson get both some financial help, as well as some advice from the Silver Dragon of Ator.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLbRG7dzFI-u3EJd0usasgDrrFO3mZ1lOZ&v=Ad7kiKuRAp0
Another short episode.
Episode 24: The Watchful Eye.
Peter and Grayson get one last piece of advice - and one last piece of help - from the Silver Dragon of Ator, before setting off on their quest again... Surly, with the financial help, the advice given, and the gift given to them in this episode - nothing could possibly go wrong from here...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E0G3-zOONo&list=PLbRG7dzFI-u3EJd0usasgDrrFO3mZ1lOZ&index=24
EPISODE 25: THE NEW RECRUITS: This episode focuses on Andrea the Assassin and Daniel the Destructive as they continue their pursuit of Peter the Ranger and Grayson the Fighter – along the way, the deadly duo recruits some new members to their cause.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txofUV0gl18&index=25&t=7s&list=PLbRG7dzFI-u3EJd0usasgDrrFO3mZ1lOZ
EPISODE 26: REUNITED (AND IT FEELS SO GOOD): Peter and Grayson still have the map from Dean the Dragon... so how is it even possible that the dynamic duo gets lost in these caves? Well, rest assured, it's possible! And just who is it that they have reunited with? And how is it even possible? Those answers all begin in this episode...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzvghy87SPs&list=PLbRG7dzFI-u3EJd0usasgDrrFO3mZ1lOZ&index=26
PISODE 27: EVEN GHOSTS GET RACIAL BENEFITS?: In this episode, we see that Andrea the Assassin and Daniel the Destructive are hot on the trail of Peter and Grayson, as they arrive in the City of Ator. Meanwhile, our would be heroes discover that they close friend Pawl the Dorf, not only died... but came back... as a ghost... with racial benefits!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVZTAIRo5yg&list=PLbRG7dzFI-u3EJd0usasgDrrFO3mZ1lOZ&index=27
I had just completed Episode 28 (HD) today - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQEnL6d2jM0&index=28&list=PLbRG7dzFI-u3EJd0usasgDrrFO3mZ1lOZ
We learn why Pawl the Dorf is wandering around as a ghost...
:mote:
Neverending Nights - Episode 29 (1080p HD) - "The Plan"
Andrea and Daniel are hot on the tracks of our would be heroes... This one has a #StarWars reference pretty early on - can you spot it?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e9N-oUsRxk&list=PLbRG7dzFI-u3EJd0usasgDrrFO3mZ1lOZ&index=29
EPISODE 31: SIDE EFFECTS... MAY VARY.
With Peter and Grayson paying for Pawl the Dorf's reincarnation, the dynamic duo realizes they're in need of more funds again. Lucky for them, the City of Blackmire has the one place Peter and Grayson know very well - second only to the layout of a good, drinking tavern - and that is - a Wishing Well. When Grayson dives in to scrounge up some coins, a young girl tells them about the curse of those, whose wishes become undone when coins are stolen. (Who could this possibly impact? Well, this episode tells you that!) At the same time, Pawl the Dorf talks to the odd priest about doing a reincarnation - and the two of them complete the spell - but at what price?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUAqgT57sxM&list=PLbRG7dzFI-u3EJd0usasgDrrFO3mZ1lOZ&index=31
I forgot to post Episode 32 and 33... But I just finished 34...
#NeverendingNights - Episode 34 (HD) - Barking Up The Wrong Tree. Peter and Grayson get a visit from a mysterious canine who comes to bring a warning - will they be able to understand what's happening - or will this go as things typically seem to go for our would be dynamic duo?

At long last...

Hard to believe - but I made it my New Years Resolution to get back to this - and so begins Season 3 - the final season of our beloved show...
http://neverendingnights.com/archives/3574
EPISODE 44: SEEING THE UNSEEN: Peter and Grayson make a startling discovery – that they're not alone – in their own prison cell! (For those of you who thought you were seeing something weird in Episode 43 every once in awhile; that 'ghostly figure' finally reveals itself!) But – who or what? – is it – and what can it mean for our dynamic heroes?
Oh, also – you might want to hang out during the credits on this one for some out takes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5hN2Ueh_1A&list=PLbRG7dzFI-u3EJd0usasgDrrFO3mZ1lOZ&index=46
Peter and Grayson discover there's someone else in the cell next to them - a Bard! But ... there's something very, very, very weird about the Bard... Naturally, because Peter and Grayson can't seem to catch a break. The Bard seems to think there's something up with Grayson however...

Grayson is trying to figure out how Peter is getting all the ladies at the tavern - and get some pick up advice from a guy in a white leisure suit!
This episode has a very special appearance from Al Lowe from Leisure Suit Larry fame! As well as Jules, who I also originally met thanks to Sierra On-Line! Very special episode! This version - after the episode ends - Peter shares a story that's based on a D&D Session run from my friend Paul (which is only in the HD version).

Grayson learns a thing about an oddly colorful individual at the bar about "Funkafying" himself and raising his "Funk-Fu." The special character in the very colorful outfit is voiced by none other than Greg Johnson from Toejam and Earl! (The colorful outfit is supposed to represent Funkatron where the alien duo, Toejam and Earl come from!)

Congrats on finishing your story, Tawmis. I haven't seen it yet (I have no familiarity with the source material), but the fact that you persevered and completed it even though no one on this forum seemed to respond speaks volumes.

Thank you. It's definitely a work of passion that's very dear to my heart.
And for the source material - you need not be familiar with the game engine (Neverwinter Nights). All you need is a weird sense of humor about two guys - out to slay a dragon - so they can be rich and famous and never have to pay for drinks again - and all the things that go wrong. :)
