Year Three refers to Channel Awesome's three year anniversary special event. Like Year One and Year Two, there is an epic video followed by a series of collaborations. All of which the contributors celebrate the website's fantastic third year!
Premise
On June 6th, 2011, a trailer for the third year event was released. The trailer gave a title to the event, Suburban Knights, and showed various members walking along a field in various costumes from different movies and games. The trailer hinted that the team would be going on a quest of some kind, but no specific details were given.
On June 21st, 2011, a second full trailer was released. This trailer gave us pieces of the plot. Suburban Knights will involve the Critic and the gang searching for a mystical, powerful gauntlet. They have to play a game which involves dressing up and acting as fictional characters to figure out riddles leading to the location of the gauntlet. During their quest, they will run into evil-doers looking to take the gauntlet for themselves. These people possess magic powers and turn the tables on our heroes, effectively changing what was a game into a battle of life and death. At the end, it's revealed that this will be a 7-part special, starting on June 27th and ending July 3rd.
Summary
As a mysterious man makes his way to Chicago, the Critic gathers up his friends/co-workers for another epic adventure. Using a map from a recluse named Jaffers, he intends to find Malachite's Hand, a gauntlet with untold power. To do this, they have to play a D&D-like game and must be dressed as "fantasy quest" characters. The group splits into two teams and head off as three shadowy figures are shown nearby.
The Critic's group is making headway on the quest, finding a forest mentioned in the first riddle. While on their quest, tensions rise among the group. They encounter a being named Cat, who puts up a fight with them before he is defeated. Meanwhile, Spoony's group is wandering down a different road when they encounter the three beings from the end of the first part. While at first the group resists the beings, they realize the beings are too strong for them and they make a hasty retreat. As the beings persue them, the mysterious man is seen watching from a distance.
