The first all-new original program to launch on the re-branded Machinima Prime,
Dr. 1Up is visited each week in his office by the biggest and most fearsome names in the video game world - including Master Chief (
Halo), Lara Croft
(Tomb Raider) and Nathan Drake (
Uncharted), Raiden (
Mortal Kombat), and much more - so he can treat each character's ailments.
Dr. 1Up is directed by Ukrainian Yuri Baranofsky (
Break A Leg, The Temp Life, Leap Year) and written by Woody Tondorf (
The Morning After, The Dark Knight Legacy). The series stars Noel Carroll as
Dr. 1Up, YouTube personality Bree Essrig as Nurse Janet and Haley Mancini (
Most Popular Girls In School, Smosh's 16 bit High, Mad Men) as Dovahkiin. Additionally, each episode will feature notable actors and YouTube personalities including Inside Gaming Host Adam Kovic who plays Master Chief and premiere voiceover star Matthew Mercer (
Attack on Titan, Destiny, Arkham Origins, Resident Evil) who portrays Solid Snake.
In the first episode episode, Nurse Janet (Essrig) concocts a plan to get Joel and Ellie from
The Last of Us, to stop whistling; it involves giraffes. In the exam room,
Dr. 1Up tries to break the difficult news to Solid Snake that his body is positively riddled with tumors from smoking, but Snake's inability to stay visible for more than 10 seconds brings 1Up to the breaking point.
Dr 1Up second episode, Mass Effect, launches next week on October 10. How did Commander Shepard (Alan Pierre) manage to sleep with his entire crew without any of them knowing?
