This is a very exciting time for Myndflame. Not only has Myndflame released a new web site, but the group is now unveiling the daily ROFLBear series. Go check it out and let them know what you think. I've had a sneak preview and find the material funny, witty and a great daytime break.

Am I the only person who watched to around halfway before realising it was the old bear form model? o.o
Worth the watch anyway and will surely be checking up on more as they come :P

The only thing rofl about this is that yer saying it took em the better part of a year to make it...hope the other episodes are better, because this was just boring.
Hayden Aug 9th 2010 12:44PM
I agree, insane... found that to be terribly boring as well.

Seriously did wow.com get payed to advertise that? cause I hardly see "care, diligence and creativity" in THAT.

Very funny, classic comedy. But almost a year in the making? Wowza.

Myndflame should just focus on Illegal Danish 3. It's been 2 1/2 years since Escape From Orgrimmar and over a year since the "trailer". As much as I love Illegal Danish and Zinwrath, I've almost stopped caring.

I'm assuming that the year was spent making many, many episodes so that a new episode can be released daily. Not a year spent making this one episode.

I don't understand what was supposed to be funny..... And the fact that the updated bear and cat forms have been out for quite a long time.

At least it was short?

I haven't seen it yet, but the ignorance in these comments disgust me. Time to clear things up:
Myndflame has been working on the series since the beginning of 2010. They've produced loads of episodes already intending on realising a new episode everyday. MEANING THEY SPENT HALF A YEAR MAKING 50 EPISODES NOT ONE.
The models are outdated because they started editing the first episode in Janurary 2010 when model viewer didn't have the new models or something.
Will comment later on when I watch the episode.

Oh ho! It funny because, the bear, he try to make mail box, but, but, he cannot make mailbox properly first two times. Then, when he make it third time, it look like it will stay up, but it doesn't! It funny!

I thought it kept falling apart because of his challenging roar at it.
Elennoko Aug 9th 2010 4:01PM
I really liked it. I found it funny. People are just spoiled by other stuff nowadays. This isn't supposed to be a 30 minute thing, these are just, like, shorts.
Tri Aug 9th 2010 5:01PM
I thought it was cute :)

I really don't like to be negative, but I was tremendously underwhelmed by this. I'm not sure what the target audience for this material is, but this style of humor reminds me of things I laughed at in cartoons as a young child.
With so much time and effort already put into the series, I wish the producers well, but their pilot episode doesn't give me any desire to follow this on a daily basis (especially with video ads that are almost as long as the ROFLBear video itself). I will check back over the next few days to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I am not impressed with what I see so far.
I do like the look of the mailbox though.

I doubt anyone is still browsing comments on this post a week out, but who knows.
True to my word, I watched the first 5 episodes of ROFLBear each day this week. Today's episode surprised me by having actual words in it (in the form of the ToC theme song), and it appeared to have considerably more thought put into it. However, I still can't get into the series. Sorry.
