The Markiplier Effect!
What does Markiplier like to review? GAMES. What does Bandai-Namco produce? GAMES. What does that largest 'China Mobile Games' Developer company make? GAMES. What is one of many Red Giant business models? GAMING!
How many views does Markiplier have on YouTube: over HALF-BILLION with over 2 million subscribers and growing: http://staging.channelmeter.com/channels/markipliergame
Who snagged him for the Red Giant Booth: http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/youtube-star-markiplier-host-red-giant-entertainment-panel-presentation-san-diego-comic-pinksheets-redg-1927081.htm -- When this news came out it was ridiculed by some with "so this is the big news" --- but cannot underestimate the power of a large fan base.....
How many "likes" did mentions of Comic Con and REDG did he get on FB (at the time of this posting)?
PS: His brother works for Red Giant Entertainment.
Exposure is the key. Connections are key. We're proven to have these - or none of these folks would consider doing business with us. The "circular" pattern of REDG is incredible. Having gaming in their business model with an online celebrity who reviews gaming and is Pro-REDG is genius. A win-win again for the future here, IMO.
PS: They are particularly quiet about this year's Comic Con "panel". I'm sure we'll hear more this coming Thursday evening on that!

We will arrange co-branded bags with TRU. Here's a Red Giant bag example to date: http://instagram.com/p/q9gO14SNKf/
Hi PI....These were stung together quickly at the onset of announcement: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=104645318
I haven't submitted these yet but will very soon..may add or delete a few prior.
GLTY!!
I've marked a few here over time and 37thirty37 is deserving of a mark (though I marked him before but now it's confirmed).
Great discussion points this morning...
Thanks Tlsmd. It amazes me that we're still having to educate people that this isn't about some aimless and massive print job to just sell comics...
Many projects announced in the past few years are coming to fruition and we're starting to hear of them to date. The REDG team (and us) shall reap the rewards of their hard work. I personally have no reasons to believe that this will not work - understanding there is still risk. Life is full of risks and no guarantees - and full of surprises too. Seeing this unfold and uncovering developments makes me confident that we're not at the end within the darkest of moments - and agree with you in the "new beginning". Should we turn to darker moments, then we shall discuss that in like manner (but to me: the fun has just begun).
We still have folks waiting for the "big" news, but to me, TRU and Bandai-Namco is big news. I know the really big news is GSL and revenues (make no mistake about it) but the aforementioned announcements lead us to this, IMO.
Since they've covered distribution plans through TRU and addressed gaming with B-N; I do feel it in my bones now that the Movie announcement(s) are next - official PR's and/or (updates) coming this Thursday to a theater near you...
Great points Penny_Island..totally agree. I believe Benny will have to address the status of GSL based on so many inquiries that will be sent his way for this upcoming Shareholder's video. I also hope that we do get some insight on CPM and projected revenues - or at least a mention of when that will be released.
I'm with you on awaiting developments. It's hard not to say they haven't been working their @ssess off to get us to where we are today (although it does not reflect in the pps currently).
Great Quote:
Toys-R-US wouldn't say print is on its way out: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=48668
Yes, Toys-R-Us is also at Comic Con: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/toysrus-heads-to-comiccon-international-in-san-diego-at-entertainment-earth-booth-2343-with-nine-noteworthy-exclusives/27764/
Furthermore, print is only one aspect of the business and will be used as a medium for advertisers to market their name brand, bring in revenues and distribute REDG IP to the masses:
Amen Ragsy!!!!!
I bet they may announce something during their Comic Con panel and reconfirm during next week's shareholder's video conference, IMO.
I have too 37-37. You all rock in my book and really enjoy the different perspectives and knowledge base.
If this were any other board, at this current level, it would be unbearable to be around. Never quite seen anything like this before.
Would really like a few others that have strayed away from here to return but we certainly do keep each other informed during the ups/downs.
GLTY!!!
Yep - considering some OTC CEO's lack intelligence, can't string a PR together and hype their pps to high heavens with nothing to back it up; I believe we are in good hands overall. Benny is a genius (IMO) and has experience and has assembled a great team. The team obviously has industry contacts and will continue to say that with such contacts (along with a solid business plan) the combo is lethal (in a good way). As they say, "it's not what you know, but who you know" (Benny has both).
All we know is that we are at the pivotal turning point here. A lot of progress has been made (on the business model).
GLTA
I just responded - looks like your idea is being considered, good stuff.
Unless I read it wrong, I think Gimme was referring to another poster on this board, not Benny. At least I hope.
I just slapped the ask for the final time. I could not help it as I am so confident of what's to come here...
GLTA!!!
$REDG
Has anyone submitted questions to info@redgiantentertainment.com for the upcoming shareholder's video? What are some good ones we can think of? I haven't done so (yet) but a general consensus on what we should ask - strength in numbers mentality may help....
#1 question will probably be status of Giant Size Line (and ad space filled)?
Perhaps confirmation on CPM averages?
Long term stable finance deal?
What have they used the notes for - expansion? (note conversion discussion)
Status of certain Movie Titles? --- Last Blood, Wayward Sons Legnds or Magika...
Red Giant Media ties to Red Giant Entertainment (expansions - or update on Kevin Fox)?
What IP's will be used for gaming through Bandai-Namco (or when the deal will be signed)?
What new team member did you add recently?
Reducing amount of shares in the future (or share buy back after deals come to fruition)?
Was the November Non-Disclosure Agreement linked to TRU or Bandai-Namco (not asking who specifically - but confirming if there's more coming)?
Status of Murphy report?
Would you consider a Reverse Split?
When do you anticipate revenue streams coming in - or an outline of where we stand today vs. the 2013 shareholders video update?
JNH update?
I'm sure the many great contributors on the board can think of more....
I hope that nobody asks him if he lives in his mother's basement again so he has to explain how his mom passed away....that was embarrassing and unprofessional. Hopefully this forum will remain in a certain decorum. Either way, he cares enough to update us and it couldn't come at a better time.
$REDG
LOL - Tlsmd.....So true. Hey, looks like your prediction came true - cause he'll be saying that next week during the shareholders video update.
For those without Instagram - here's some action from #SDCC (Comic Con) tonight:
As promised here: http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/red-giant-entertainment-give-away-nearly-100000-ad-supported-comic-books-comic-con-international-pinksheets-redg-1931057.htm -- They were put out in mass and kept refilling the long table but couldn't keep up with demand:
Fans came to look....
....and fans kept coming......
As promised, Markiplier is there: http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/youtube-star-markiplier-host-red-giant-entertainment-panel-presentation-san-diego-comic-pinksheets-redg-1927081.htm - Looks like Markiplier will draw huge crowds (and with over half-a-billion views on Youtube - he's bound to make an impact):
ALL GONE (in about an hour or so):
I know it may have been good to save some for the next few days - but it's about "supply and demand". If they market free books from day 1 and they don't have any to give out - could look bad too. Not sure - we'll have to see how many are remaining for the next few days. Glad they got before & after photo's for the nay sayers......Bottom line, they're picked up and in the hands of current/future fans. Nobody walked by these and there are no stacks left - not one left apparently. The next few days will now be Markiplier, Ana Alexander, various writers/artists, recruiting new talent and cutting more deals (and who knows what else these days). I'm excited and obviously not can't get to sleep -- LOL.
GLTA!
$REDG
This is a key point - Bandai-Namco put out this news....As you stated, they put Red Giant in the PR. We will have our own PR once the deal is sealed. Both parties are excited, IMO......and TRU is also excited as they carry Bandai-Namco games (and this will be an advertisement in the GSL, IMO).
So take it further. Again, all realistic projections.....Let's say, Wayward Sons Legends with Lin Pictures (which has shown status upgrades in the production process) is officially announced. Now, Bandai-Namco places their ad in Wayward Sons Legends. Then the game is created. Now put that in Toys-R-Us. We keep saying post-after-post that all of this is inter-related to satisfy each party while we grow (and profit). This can be done with Last Blood or any other IP.....create the game, then the movie - create the movie, then the game. Not counting toys, DVD's or other areas we can get our foot in the door with TRU. Eventually, we're turning from getting our foot in the door - to kicking down the doors saying "Heeeeere's Joooohnnnyy"
In light of the preceding news that Bandai-Namco put out today, it’s my opinion that this is indeed another BIG development. Granted, we need to have the deal sealed, but there’s lots to look forward to as we near the Toys-R-US GSL launch, etc…
I corrected it Ragsy (thanks) - long day for me here.
Looks like Marvel will unveil some the title(s) of currently "untitled" movies at Comic Con: http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/07/24/marvel-announces-another-untitled-2008-film?abthid=53d06a2bf1804de922000019
Perhaps Big Red will do the same as a surprise announcement during the panel. Good way to make a grand entrance, IMO (Last Blood, Wayward Sons Legend or Journey to Magika?).
$REDG
Got to glance at the news.....seems very signicant and addresses the gaming aspect of the business.
Gonna be a super busy day for me, so will try to chck in periodically. This news is still sinking into me.....
I'm hopeful that we could get Zoe Saldana to work with REDG again….yes, again (see below). Since Avatar, others have since snagged her for Star Trek and Guardians of the Galaxy. Just like we have Ana Alexander for Porcelain (YES - Ana will be at the Red Giant Entertainment BOOTH this Comic Con); is the way I’d like for Zoe to perhaps be in Wayward Sons or another future project. Either way, she’s a great comic book fan – and there are many others in the same light.
Amen Isen...
All those would be great indeed. I believe we should get one more before Comic Con. I think those you listed would be impactful. Although we may also get more catalyst news with a Movie PR (one of many to precede or come after comic con). Either way, we're locked in and ready to go...
Come on push...let's close at 23.
This is what I believe it will be Gimme...
That's one heck of a day of research haul...have a good night!
DD: TRU/LEGO/LONG:... The more I think about the Toys-R-Us deal, the better it gets. To think that Lego is the world’s largest toy manufacturer and they were advertising in REDG IP on FCBD shows great things to come here, IMO. So aside from other advertisers already present (i.e Capcom, Diamond Comics Distributors, Gamestop, DK Publishing's / Lego Movie Books, BBC America & Carbine Studios) just concentrating on Lego as a major toy manufacturer in the world and REDG ties to Lin Pictures (whom produced the blockbuster Lego Movie) as well as TRU. Of course I'll give props to Kris Longo too!

It's confirmed Ana Alexander will be at the Red Giant Entertainment / Keenspot BOOTH!
Palmach and I will be happy now!! LOL
GO PORCELAIN!!! http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=103583394
Niiiiice points imhereforthehaul -- Member Mark #14 for ya!
Toys R US, FAO Schwartz and The Lego Store (all in NYC). Pretty much in that order I believe...
Brian - Definitely good to see such type of publicity for Red Giant Entertainment. The article was well written and some time was spent to lay out plans and potentials. The article was written outlining the TRU deals and what can come of it - while sticking to the original business plan. It was written by Robert Sodaro without mention of any upcoming movie involvements - so considering that, it's still a winner (and article subcategorized under: Animation).
Agreed Coop...
My advice to everyone is to simply not respond unless you really have to. Go back into their post history and see the patterns of numerous posts with the same messages on several tickers.
It's laughable...:-o
I usually mark posts that are ludicrous and respond months later to revisit commentary.
Nice find ClunyBSU. Thank you for sharing this!
GLTY
Good luck with the surgery Gimme. Best of wishes to you...
LMFAO!!!
Cool (extensive) article on Shockwave Darkside:

Good read for the weekend…..Have a great weekend everyone!
$REDG Long
TanMan - same ones as FCBD (big hitters - like Coop outlined): http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/red-giant-entertainment-announces-inaugural-advertisers-giant-size-comic-book-line-otcqb-redg-1886119.htm (Chose the March PR to show how what they said came to fruition in May!)
Nothing like holding DD in your hands, like these when I picked them up and opened the books to see for myself:
ADS EXAMPLES HERE (didn't even open them up right away when I got them, went to a Starbucks, got an ice coffee and then opened them):
Tie this into future Giant Size Line plans as posted here: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=103989301 and we know that Kris Longo is a maestro and will get further ads secured!!!
Adding this for you cause if anyone understands being tied up at work to catch up, it’s me.
GLTY!!!
