Year Five

Year Five refers to Channel Awesome's five year anniversary event. Unlike the past events, instead of one collaborative video, there will be five short films making up the event. All of which the contributors celebrate the website's fantastic fifth year!

Premise

On July 2nd, 2013, a teaser trailer for the five year event was released. The minute-long trailer announced the name of it as "The Uncanny Valley." Instead of a full-length movie, it will be a collection of five short films produced by and starring various contributors from the site. The trailer spliced together random scenes from each film. At the end, it stated the videos will be released between July 23-28, as in a short film per day.

The shorts involved are by Doug Walker, That SciFi Guy, MikeJ, Brad Jones, and Welshy. These are the known shorts:

MikeJ: "Internet Dating and Me" - A documentary following MikeJ as he tries Internet dating.
Welshy: "The Darkside of the Internet" - A documentary featuring various people highlighting the good and bad of the Internet.
Doug Walker: "Dragonbored" - A comedy/drama about a mild-mannered man who accidentally unleashes his video game-created character into the real world.
Brad Jones: "The Reviewers" - A comedy about two friends trying to become internet reviewers, but aren't very good at it.
That SciFi Guy: "Dragged In" - A sci-fi/apocalypse story involving That SciFi Guy and the government.

Summary

Dragonbored: Carl is obsessed with the Skyrim-like game Skyguard to the point that it's affecting his career and relationship. While playing the game one night, he wishes for adventure and his game character, Jimbroth, is brought into the real world. Jimbroth soon becomes a hit with Carl's boss and girlfriend, causing Carl to try to reclaim his life. The short shows the dangers of being more obsessed with fictional lives than your own life.
