I didn't mind it that much. It wasn't the greatest thing I've seen. It was interesting, and it sure doesn't deserve some of the hateful comments it's getting. Remember, pretty soon, this will all be over. The Apocalypse Lane art won't be on the site theme anymore. The videos will play some ads for weird MMO's or something along those lines. You can take a few day's break from the Escapist and its content if you really hate the theme song that much.
This show will never, and indeed, probably cannot, appeal to everybody. That doesn't mean it's a bad show. It just means that some people will never, ever like it. Some people like this kind of humor, the kind of show with things like the Great Rooster. Some people like a more carefully planned kind of humor. Of course, the latter group will hate Apocalypse Lane. That doesn't mean they have to come onto the forums, comment on Apocalypse Lane videos about how crap they are, and leave hateful remarks. If you're one of those people, just check Zero Punctuation every Wednesday. No big deal.
That being said, the show could definitely use some work. I'd like to know who Big Pete is, especially. (Unless, of course, the username of the video maker isn't some strange fourth-wall breaking explanation.) However, from what I've been seeing, it will probably get some work and become more interesting. (You know, like every show on this site that was ever good.) I'm looking forward to next Friday.
