Anthony Saves The World: Episode 1.1: Victory Points

[Clarity112]

I see potential, this wasn't particularly great, but I see potential.

 

[Palademon]

What the fuck did I just watch? And why was it cool?

I am one of the few people that agrees with this guy.

 

[Lost In The Void]

Man you do not fuck with a man who's got seven victory points; its just not cool

 

[Black Beanie Boardy]

Vey good look forward to more

 

[Mysnomer]

I was so afraid this was going to be hamfisted and over-acted. I am pleasantly surprised that it was both funny and interesting. I don't know how the over-arching story will play out, but I do believe it will be a fun ride.

 

[sooperman]

This one certainly came out of nowhere, but that's not always bad. I'll agree with the commenters here, there is potential.

Also, was that guy a Highlander, or what? He got killed three times. That's whack.

 

[Emergent]

No. It wasn't even really bad, that would imply it evoked any emotion or meaning at all. Just boring, with literally no characterization and a plot ripped straight from a LRR episode (the time travel one), though probably not intentionally.

 

[Kuro Kaze]

Way to rage quit the game when he had seven victory points. Not cool bro.

 

[Michael Jaynes]

That made me smile. Ripping the directions and the dollar bill in half, "ooo a seven!", "my mom gave me that table". I just watched Anthony's rants on recommendation from Extra Credits, so it's funny to see him showing up in a new series on here all of a sudden. Looking forward to more.

 

[dubious_wolf]

I enjoyed that.
I HAD SEVEN VICTORY POINTS!!!

Myself as well, I enjoyed that way more than I should have.

Probably cuz Settlers of Catan is fun

 

[CronoT]

*shrug*

Eh, needs more Ash. Seriously, it does. Without Ashly's over-the-top psychotic-ness, Anthony's WTF-ery is just too random and spastic.

I found myself loving most of it yet despising parts, my main objection was to the weird transition at 3:13. To me it was completely out of place and just broke the flow. And when you're trying to do action, even more so for action and comedy, flow is vital to make it feel right. Maybe there is something I am missing about the scene, maybe a reference to something (printer scene from office space did spring to mind for some reason), my other objection is to the sound effects, to me they're far too pure and need to be filtered to take the artificial edge off of them. Also at around 1.11 Mikey looks right at the camera, I found it highly noticeable and kinda ruined that bit for me.

I know I'm being pretty critical but that's because I see the potential for a great thing in this, and most of what annoys me seems to lie in the editing process and hence even if the whole series is pre-recorded can be tweaked to perfection. Aside from those points I really enjoyed it, it was much better to me on the second watch.

 

[JRCB]

That was pretty awesome.

But his mom gave him the table.... from the future?

I must keep watching to find out about the table!

 

[DeadAccountMoveAlong]

VIRAL! Wait, I'm not on /v/.

I actually really enjoyed this. Seems Doomsday Arcade-y, with less video games and the same amount of nonsense.

 

[standokan]

I miss a german accent, you can't become the next terminator without a german accent.

 

[Wandrecanada]

I just saw Scooter snap a man's neck and then shoot him. I guess he really is Moxxie's son.

 

[mechanixis]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT IT'S ANTHONY BURCH

Just last night I was watching the Rev Rants and wondering when we'd hear about him again!

 

[LokiSeto]

I feel bad that the "wood for sheep" joke was wasted and didn't come out right.
