This was one of the best yet. It's still somewhat rough around the edges, but it's improving.

I feel like Anthony was channeling at least 90% of Ash there. Which is disturbing cause it means Ash is dead now...

You have more than earned the right to take this series where you want in just this one episode. If you make them I'll watch them :D Thanks

The dialogue and absurdist humour is great. But everything else seems to just... float there in a static pool of one-liners. Where's it all meant to be going? Is the whole series going to be just them, in a house, shooting at dudes wearing bicycle helmets and making speedy pop culture references?

I swear the pacing, delivery and cuts are getting worse with every episode. We've had, what, five episodes and we know NOTHING about what's going on. You guys really should consider getting some creative and technical help from the Loading Ready Run guys - they do more with less, and do it expertly.

Best episode yet. That little bit with Anthony at the start and end completely solved the little continuity hiccups. Very well done.

And the dialogue is great as always. The scene right after Anthony fires the gun at the cieling, then points it at Mike was awesome and perfectly timed for comedy.

...And just how many different versions of Monopoly do you need?

I couldn't even finish this episode. Perhaps my tastes are a tad on the uppity side, but watching two guys get drunk and screw around with guns is not high grade humor. This is a compilation of shorts from drunk frat parties where they raided the theatre prop department the night before... also drunk.

You guys are working to improve your material, and I appreciate that. You drove me off at about 5:20.

*Edit

Went back to finish the episode. It is unfair to judge something only in part.

More drunk jokes, a gun on top of meat, and a snowball fight.

All of my complaints stand.

*Edit 2

I would like to compliment an undercurrent of humor that you have been investing in for the series: gamer humor - one of the main reasons you have a legitimate place here. I would like to see more of it, personally. That seriousness (the suits, the action, etcetc.) with a strong undertone of silliness is valuable to the series. "I had 7 victory points!" Rolling the dice in the middle of the fight. A stack of monopoly games. All of these breath gamer humor into your show. Please, for the love of the gods, keep it sparse!!! If you start shoving it front and center, you will ruin the gracefulness of the humor.

I have to agree on several accounts, but asking one show to take notes from another show creates an incentive to have every show do their work the same way. I appreciate that they are deliberately doing things differently. Naturally they will tone their idiosyncrasies down to a comfortable level, and hopefully, the escapist will get to see a unique and quality show from these guys.

The past few episodes were crap, this was the first one I actually liked. Yet, I keep watching them. Why do I keep watching them? Oh yeah, because I'm at work and have nothing better to do.

I really liked Anthony fumbling with the gun. I remember one of the first times I looked down a rifle sight I got my eye right next to the scope. The recoil slammed that scope right into my face. I would've given myself a black eye if I hadn't been wearing a pair of sunglasses.

Thanks for the nostalgia. I don't know how you guys make this show work, but you do. Keep it up ;).

I'm with the camp that says best one so far. As a gun enthusiast myself I thought the scene though highly disconcerting when thought about in real life, was hilarious in the episode and within the context of the series! Loved the drunken conversations. Also nice effects on the stabbing.
