Hello all!

A Dog's Breakfast is taking off online…thanks to you! Well done on doing such a great job of getting the word out there!

The “A Dog’s Breakfast” Trailer, with well over 7,000 viewings (that’s in just one day!), is today’s #3 favorite and #4 top rated comedy clip on YouTube. It is also the #9 top favorite YouTube clip today in all categories! Total viewings for the 3 clips is now well over 110,000! Wow! Reach around and pat yourselves on the back… and then stop congratulating yourselves and start thinking about other ways to get Hollywood to bow before the squirrel king ;-) I can’t believe we already have ADB lingo (Dog lingo…dingo or squirrel lingo…squingo?)!

ZeroCool just got even cooler with the help of her code monkey husband (Karma that gurl!)! I just found a link on the A Dog’s Breakfast Forum for A Dog’s Breakfast The Game… I admit to spending WAY too much time batting poor McGillion’s head around the squirrel wasteland…no high scores though…stupid McGillion! This is a must! Nice work creating a bloody good waste of time! … that, by the way, is a compliment…Thanks!

I've added a number of links to press articles in the A Dog's Breakfast weblinks. Have a look and let them know you care with a comment on their respective website... the barking dog gets the squeaky wheel, if you know what I mean… if you do, please tell me!

Adogsbreakfastmovie.com is taking a bit of a battering what with all the new attention. So, please pardon the odd error page of indigestion now and again. I'm looking into a "chunkier" account with our hosting service that should allow for a bit more system resources and bandwidth, but I don't want to make a switch until the initial chatter dies down or crashes the site...whichever comes first!

Love to the lot of ya!

D!

PS. Yes, I do now own a new MacBook Pro 17"...sweet!

I'm glad to know I won't be the only one on the internet posting a picture when receiving a new laptop ;)

Oh my gosh that game is positively disgusting, the only thing more disturbing is the amount of fun I have had bouncing poor Pauls head into all those squealing squirrels. 972.7. I feel so dirty.

that damn game :p  
thanks David, you didn't have to listen to all Kathy's bloody squeeing... :grin  
Thanks for updating, it makes me more impatient.

Dogs bark if they get their squeaky toy stuck under the couch ... make enough noise and someone will free the toy ... and now Ive lost myself. What did you mean? lol :p  
 
20,000 views and counting!
Loved the game!!

Go Zero - COOL :grin Loved the game. :grin :grin 8)
Off Topic for a moment

I'll check out the game this weekend, but a quick FYI--Kate Hewlett's play "Humans Anonymous" was wonderful! Funny and touching and true in so many ways!  
 
(She is also a sweetheart!)

MacBook Pro Very nice. Nacs so rule... I got one a year ago and have no desire to go back to a PC.  
 
And the game is a lot of fun. I do feel a bit sorry for Paul though. Does he have any idea that people are spending hours batting his head around squirrel land?
Paul - Whumping
Written by einsteinsreject on 2006-12-06 19:31:49
Oh dear, I feel so bad for enjoying whalloping Paul's head through the squirrels! (I feel like such a traitor to Scotland and the first decent Scottish sci-fi character in... how many years?!) 1003.9m as well...! 
 
Anyway, so looking forward to seeing this movie, depending of course on when we in the backwaters of Scotland get it! must... keep... squirrel... marketing... hey, in the last week i've converted 3 new atlantis fans, i'm sure i can start with them! :grin
Written by Mahoney on 2006-12-06 18:16:18
I agree ladyc3, I fell bad for Paul but I also get this strange pleasure from bashing his head. Is that wrong? :? oh well, it's very fun and VERY addicting!
Poor Paul!
Written by ladyc3 on 2006-12-06 16:01:58
I feel bad for Paul, but that was a funny game. Sorry Paul! :p
Written by Scary on 2006-12-06 16:00:13
ROFLMAO!!!!!! That game is so disturbing but a whole lot of fun. :grin :grin  
 
Have you told Paul about it? 
 
Congrats on the new computer. I am hoping to have me a new desktop PC by the new year. This one is over five years old and getting slower by the day.
MacBook rocks!
Written by Astrumporta on 2006-12-06 15:03:13
Hope you enjoy the MacBook -- very fast for "universal" apps, not so much for the PowerPC ones, but still darn good. If you buy Parallels, you can defile the machine with Windoze, too. It works pretty darn well, if circumstances demand it. 
 
Congrats on the YouTube hits! I'm off to blog you now...
Written by sueKay on 2006-12-06 14:05:44
Congrats on all the youtube views!! 
 
My best score on the game is 975...sorry Paul McGillion!  
 
And congrats on the Mac Book Pro!!! 
 
*kicks her evil decrepid (sp?) Dell Dimension Desktop* 
 
I will relent and buy a notebook eventually...lol!

Mars looks like - THAT'S IT! A COMPUTER? WHERE'S MY TREATS, TOYS? 
 
Maybe you should get him a Rubber Duck. :)
Still trying to do my part to help out.

I convinced a friend(night..also known as Alex) of mine, who is an administrator of the website UberCrue.com to put a ditty in his site about the ADB website. You can see it at this link:

Thanks night, your the best! 
 
Oh! And David, congrats on the MacPro, I so want one!
Written by aizneth on 2006-12-06 11:24:24
This game rocks!  
 
Dear Paul McGillion, 
 
I love you dearly, so please forgive me if I giggle madly every time I send your head flying and blood spurting everywhere. (753.6 feet -- score!) 
 
Love, 
Aizneth
Written by furina1975 on 2006-12-06 10:46:32
1081.3 feet. Thanks to the squirrles. I have to say I find the game sort of soothing and hypnotic.
Game & Views
Written by windshieldbug on 2006-12-06 09:16:07
David, question for you....can we implore MGM about screenings through their website? I know there is a way to contact them! 
 
I love that we are doing such a great job marketing this thing! That many views already!!!! 
 
GO KATHY! GO CODE MONKEY! I squeed quite loudly when I read that!
another addiction...
Written by doudoubaer on 2006-12-06 08:56:24
why give those links to so addictive games!! i didn't know i could get so much fun cutting mcgillion's head off!!  
 
i wondered if hitting squirrels earned us points... because i got a lot of them little things... 1029.1 is my best score for the time being... now i definitely need to go and change batteries because my laptop is getting tired... wonder why? ;-)
Written by mystisblom on 2006-12-06 08:23:30
697 I'm the squirrel queen *G* But I really miss a highscore, but you are right the Game is amazing! 
 
I'm so happy that the trailer hit it off like that, it really is crazy good work. Can't wait for ADB to come to Germany or even England (Yes I'd go there to see the movie gg)
I cant get no sleep!
Written by angiebaby on 2006-12-06 08:14:52
Going into work looking like C@~* and telling everyone you "couldn't sleep" where in actual fact your up til god knows what hour playing the game....way to addictive!!! (but brilliant) :zzz

Have pimped the trailer on my LJ.
 
 
I wish I had the chance to pimp it on my LJ but my home computer went crazy this morning when I went to turn it on - the power switch went "na na na na na" and decided to go on strike. Am hoping poppa bear will be nice and take it to the shop for me to get it sorted (logging on at work at the mo cause I need my fix of squirrelness) as I can't, unfortunately, afford a new one. Even if it is on it's last legs. :sigh  
 
Congrats on the number of You Tube hits and new MacBook. :grin
CRAZY Squirrel and poor Paul

All my friends watched this trailer, more or less volunteering :grin :grin :grin :grin  
But they like it!! 
And now a game :eek WOW! My personal high score 584,8 :)

Have played game (which amused my daughter to no end). 
 
Have coveted MacBook (and a 17" at that!).
You... you... GIT!
Written by 11nine73 on 2006-12-06 04:46:59
Sorry but that's so unfair! Here I am struggling with a stone-age PC and you get yourself MacBook. Why does everyone have a new computer/laptop except me?!! :cry  
 
Umm get yourself a better hosting package or more bandwidth before the site crashes, or you're going to get into trouble. Do you really want a horde of angry squirrels on your case? Of course you don't. 
 
And while you're at it, try a more stable portal. PLEASE. Look I'm begging and everything. 
 
Oh and by the way, congrats on the many, many viewings. I have favoured the clips and rated it despite not actually seeing it (back to the stone-age PC again). 
 
Love backatya

Permission to Squee TOTALLY! 
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! 
Enough! Get back in tree!
Check again!
Written by ZoniDuck on 2006-12-05 23:38:26
I just watched it again from my home computer, and it's over 10,800 views now. Holy crap! 
 
I haven't even had a chance to pimp it out to my friends and family yet. I have to wonder if there aren't a whole lot of others like me. I think you can look forward to even more hits tomorrow. 
 
And no, I am not at all envious of your new laptop. I'm always this shade of green. No really. :p
Written by thaddia on 2006-12-05 22:55:35
Yeah Kathy, that game is definitly cool, and soo addictive! :grin Great work!  
 
That's great that the trailer is doing so well. I think I've been living on that youtube page, hehe. I just can't stop watching. :)
*Undefinable Squeal of Gladness*
Written by Aten on 2006-12-05 22:28:07
Hooray for Zerocool! I knew this game was a "hit" when I stumbled upon it on day one! 
 
Errors? So it's not just my messed-up machine, then. Phew! :grin  
 
*does the happy dance in praise of all*
Geeky grin!
Written by casey on 2006-12-05 22:08:41
David,  
 
Your photo is hillarious! :grin  
 
You are such a geek - but hey, I'm like that with a new computer especially since I kinda organised the building on mine. 
 
I know some will hate me for saying this but I never saw the glory of macs! ;)  
 
Glad to hear the news on the ADB clip - I gotta admit that I laughed my head off when I saw it (especialy the rubber ducky squeak). And I wanna tell you that I love your dedication to your craft - showing your skin - hee :P 
 
I haven't seen that game yet but I'll have a look! You have me intrigued and I will venture into the forums later. 
 
 
Written by watcher652 on 2006-12-05 21:48:26
Heh, I missed the BC news link when I went surfing earlier today. Thanks for posting them all here. 
 
Oooh! A new Mac! I'm so envious! I have to get a laptop myself but it will have to be a PC to be compatible w/ work. I had an Apple II back in the mists of time, and a Mac IIsi that just up and died with no warning one day. Sadly, my brain is no longer able to handle more than one operating system, so I'll have to go with the dreaded MS (yes I know you can get both on a Mac, but I'm technologically stunted). Enjoy the new toy! 
 
And that is just the sweetest look Mars has for you.

And here Zero was a little worried about her game - we told her not to be. Told you Santa would be have little squirrel helpers this year!
Written by elefant on 2006-12-05 21:09:58
heh, I beat you to the Macbook Pro -- albeit its only a 15" -- but I got one -- and not to mention that my brother opened it before because he said he wanted to "check" that everything was in place.. but that's besides the point.  
 
congrats on the movie's success! so will there still be screenings (specifically in Vancouver), or do we have to wait 'til the release on DVD or something else?
Written by Shawna on 2006-12-05 21:08:14
It is an addictive game, isn't it? ;)  
And yeah, it's amazing how quickly the lingo developed. 
Boy, this is a fun place.

Its true what they say - dog's do look like their owners. Or is that the other way round?
Written by lemonchicken on 2006-12-05 20:21:09
(I)I can’t believe we already have ADB lingo (Dog lingo…dingo or squirrel lingo…squingo?)!(/I)  
 
"squingo dingo" sounds fun! lol. Still head smacking ...

Go, Zero!!! 
 
Loving the informative updates. 
Hewlett confetti.
I step away for ONE DAY and look at all
Written by Jan on 2006-12-05 20:05:54
I find myself stranded and computerless for ONE DAY, and when I get back there are three whole updates, full of good news and videos of high-pitched girly screams. What a nice surprise to come back to! 
 
I'm curious to know if there are any hoops MGM would like us to jump through while marketing Dog's Breakfast-- are they against, say, t-shirts, but very in favor of YouTube? Is there anything they'd rather your squirrelly minions NOT do? Or can we let our little rodent-y minds run wild? 
 
**goes back to watch trailer for millionth time**
Great news!
Written by s_aurius on 2006-12-05 19:50:42
I am so excited to know how well the youtube clip is doing. I'll keep promoting! 
YAY Kathy! Your game is definitely addictive. :grin
typos anyone?

You just keep giving us nice updates. The game is a 'bloody' waste of time but when we are already here it's something fun to do. :p She did a wonderful job with it. 
I watched the views jump from 5,000 to over 7,000 in just over 2 hours. Someone has been refreshing the page. :grin I know some of those views are mine.  
Keep throwing nuts our way, ignore the "Don't feed the squirrels" signs.
Written by kamelion on 2006-12-05 19:45:53
OH MY GOD! The penguin game! My best friend and I are addicted to that game, my kids think I'm nuts. wait until they see this version... hilarious... *goes to abuse McG* 
 
Everyone keep up the incredible work! :grin :grin :grin :grin
Squirrels and decapitated McGillion
