Freddie Wong
Freddie Wong was just a guy who wanted to make movies. But nobody's parents want their child to make movies for a living, because it's too "risky". So Wong's parents hated the idea. But still, they let them have his way after Wong's father was brutally humiliated for his love of New Fist of Fury by coworkers.They accused him of "not knowing shit about what movies really are", causing him to cry himself to sleep every night like a sissy. It was during one of these moments that he was discovered by Freddie. The father pleaded with him to avenge his humiliation, but when Freddie suggested that they begin by filming his father perform seppuku, he was promptly slapped in the face. Nevertheless, a filmmaker was born, I suppose, though technically he was born quite a while before this "avenge my humiliation" business, but there is this transitionary moment when...oh right, he has a younger brother. He's named Ted, or Jimmy, or something.
Film Schewl[edit | edit source]
Freddie began attending film schewl, aware of the fact that there was a 90% chance that he'd be waiting tables at Chinese restaurants after graduating, because stereotypes are based in truth. There, he made friends with Brandon Laatsch, who introduced him to the world of violent video games.
Their friendship blossomed after they successfully sabotaged the project of one puritan asshole who claimed to be Jesus incarnate and said he would get the two expelled for playing Satanic games. Unbeknownst to this moron, his entire tirade was filmed by the duo, and during a mid-term examination, the tirade was switched with his intended project, which was later discovered to be even shittier. The moron was promptly expelled, checked into rehab, and now identifies himself as some Amazing Atheist.
Anyway, with their new-found FRNDSHP, they began making movies by sneaking into people's dorm rooms and using their property as props. The first time they managed to pull it off without getting caught was when they filmed "Aces", a short film about two assassins who are targeted to kill each other, but they don't know that the other guy wants to kill them too, and for some reason they both independently come to the conclusion that a one-on-one poker game would be the perfect ruse to pull off their mission. Unsurprisingly, the game morphs into a chaotic gunfight and ends in an unresolved cliffhanger, because short films.
They followed this up with numerous other attempts at filmmaking, which ranged from legit independent efforts to half-baked shorts and video-game bragging, because college=overambitious douchebags, or something.
Post-Graduation[edit | edit source]
Anyway, after graduating, they decided to completely sell the fuck out and figuratively fellate any and every production company that was willing to pay for it. When asked about this by a disgruntled hipster, Freddie said that unlike the hipster, he lived in the real world, where cooperation and deals propelled you forward, and clinging to vague, retarded ideals held you back. Truer words have never been spoken by him since.
Anyway, ever since they sold out, their videos became more focused, and production values steadily increased. Their videos ranged from action-comedy, to action-romance, to action-videogame-comedy, to action-videogame-romance, to action-videogame-fanboyism, because every gamer is a fanboy and it gets annoying sometimes.
So anyway, they kept growing an audience, since cheesy short films with non-shitty VFX were not something people ordinarily viewed for free. Unless you were one of those abominations that specifically looks for obscure indie efforts and then pirates the shit out of them. You are a stain on society, sire! A STAIN!
Anyway, Freddie Wong's shorts were the first time a lot of ppl could view videos with good VFX for free without indulging in wanton copyright violations. And the wanton violence kept on satisfying their audience, and Freddie and Brandon kept on making money, because that's what no copyvio + fellate production companies=to. HAHAHA, MATH EXPRESSIONS, I AM SMART TAKE THAT MOM!!!!
Anyway, with the increased money and prominence, Freddie chose to produce a webseries based off of his ultimate competitive gaming fantasy, aka a school for competitive gamers that wouldn't have to be a mind-numbingly boring and wasteful experience because fiction. Thus was born Video Game High School.
Video Game High School[edit | edit source]
Set in the near future, wherein gaming tech is ruled by augmented reality, but controls remain remarkably similar to PC and current-gen consoles because motion control still sucks balls, it follows the tale of Josh Blaylock, an aspiring photographer whose career was cut short when his mother fell in love with a Virtual Intelligence. Paranoid about the VI using his mother to execute vile plans for global domination, he set about taking care of her and keeping an eye on the VI. But gradually, his trust of the VI grew, and he began spending more and more time playing multiplayer shooters. On one of his gigs, he successfully defeats the notorious competitive gaming champion B. Firenzi, also known as "TheLaw". This is enough for him to get an admission offer from the prestigious VGHS (see: name of the show).
Therein, he meets a number of ppl, such as the pretty badass chick Brady, the pretty propah chick...I forget her name, and the pretty goofball guy, Ted Wong! Oh, he's Freddie's brother. But btw, Freddie in fact plays Ted's senile-ass father, which only goes to show how much he wanted to make a fool out of himself the whole time but couldn't because he was the lead actor in all his goddamned shorts but this series gave him a chance to change it all. Also, TheLaw is also a student here, and after putting up a pitifully brief pretense of being Blaylock's role model, proceeds to try and ruin his life in every way possible.
Of course, TheLaw momentarily succeeds, but ultimately fails miserably, Blaylock and Brady eventually fall for each other, and Blaylock is now a rising star in competitive gaming and has landed a role in Rockstar Games' Red Dead Redemption.
The second season sees Blaylock being forced to side with a borderline insane TheLaw, Brady being forced to deal with an overbearing mother due to former FPS tutor Zachary Levi not returning for the new season, and the propah chick dealing with other stuff...like her dad. Also, Blaylock screws over Ted while he's emotionally vulnerable AND THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN!!!!!
The third and final season will begin/has begun/began on October 2014.
Set Phasers to Two[edit | edit source]
Shortly after the release of Grand Theft Auto V (video game, not their short film) Freddie and Brandon announced they would be diversifying their content. This in effect meant that Freddie Wong's channel was renamed to RocketJump, since nothing says sell-out better than switching a person for a COMPANY!!! and Freddie Wong's second channel becoming Brandon Laatsch's channel. So yeah, they're producing content they've always wanted to now. Also, watch BEAR AND DON'T PIRATE THE SHIT OUT OF IT PLEASE PLEZ PLZ!!!!!
