This argument makes no sense. Do you think every critic of movies also makes movies themselves? Do you think every game critic here on the Escapist makes games themselves? Of course not, because that's not how criticism works. You don't need to make something yourself to be able to give valid criticism.Dexion said:Find it funny that ppl whine so much, i loved it tbh made me laugh plenty. And to all the nay sayers..go make something of your own..put it up here..and see how much flak you take.
The issue is a scheduling error. That kinda sounds like a problem that can happen to anyone at anytime regardless of quality or content. This is kinda like the clip show excuse. We have to make X amount of episodes for this season but had an X problem (money, time, writer idea bucket all dried up) it would be preferred by the audience that no show ever gave into the sexy lure of the clip show episode but things happen and it's a business so we just gotta deal. And that's whats happening right now. Something happened so here's a lesser product. I'm sure we won't get a blooper reel again anytime soon.Wolfenbarg said:Getting extras in-between episodes for Doomsday Arcade made a lot of sense. Their episodes ran quite long, had great production values, and really had us engaged through the process for each and every week, so when they started taking huge breaks and teasing us with extras when the episodes were running even longer while leading up to the finale, we all sort of understood what was going on. This show has only run for three proper episodes before hitting its first major speed bump.

Criticizing is okay, but your original comment (the one on page 1) was just bashing and hateful.Internet Kraken said:They do get paid. What the heck made you think they didn't?

Internet Kraken said:So let me get this straight; not even 4 episodes into this series, and you already screwed up the scheduling. That's pretty damn bad. It'd be more understandable if this wasn't a tired Pokemon parody rehashing the same jokes with mediocre quality animation. Hopefully if you're taking this much time to make the next episode you're actually putting serious effort in it to address the problems with this series. That's the only reason I can see it taking so long.
As for this...well there isn't much to say about it now is there? It's a bloopers episode. Bloopers, along with rehashing old clips, are the benchmark of a series running out of ideas. The fact that you're already pulling one out doesn't bode well for this series.

That's not what I was getting at.

If you consider that to be bashing and hateful you desperately need a reality check. Most people, when criticizing something, are not nice.

That is something to consider but in order to discern that we would have to know how much effort and time goes into what they do or what goes into submitting something into the escapist. I do not know how you know they had made lots of episodes between the film festival and there arrival I would have just as easily assumed they had not made anything until they got hired. I also assume if they are under 18 they go to school and do homework or over 18 they have jobs that take up lots of time as jobs do. I also do not know what happens when people's time schedule gets screwed up and what that pertains too.Wolfenbarg said:But these guys had plenty of time to create new content and have a healthy backlog of material in the months between the film festival and when they actually aired.Swifteye said:That's not what I was getting at.

That's the issue with having a contract with the same site that licenses to the likes of Extra Credits and Zero Punctuation. This isn't youtube, the second the Escapist decides to license their work, they're working professionally. If they don't have enough free time to get videos out on a bi-weekly basis, then they should stick to another venue until they have the ability to do so.

My thought is to just take there word on what they said and assume that once it's fixed things will be back to normal. This isn't a dig at there ability to produce material or how they should have gained a certain amount of cred before using auxiliary material. It is what it is. A failure to produce material due to an unforseen event that must be attended too while also keeping up with the contract to deliver something at an expected time.
The escapist is a professional business of sorts (there not like a network or movie company but they probably operate similar to cracked or blistered thumbs) but even then I can't really say how exactly they go about handling there procedures when dealing with submissions and the people who make them. Like I said earlier when it comes to making cartoons or live action shows one may have to resort to using clip shows or blooper reels.

Its funny, but i want to see more of the story, anyways it's still an awesome series.
OT: I like the series so far and the blooper reel was funny. I'm still hoping to see more funny things from this series. I'll give ya the benefit of the doubt and hold out for more.
There were other, better, far more professionally handled entries to the Escapist Film Festival that lost so these guys could resort to one of those lazy cop outs before their show has even gotten interesting. I'm all for giving slack to guys just starting out, but so far we haven't been offered a thing to make us sympathize with them enough to forgive a blooper reel so early on in production.Swifteye said:The escapist is a professional business of sorts (there not like a network or movie company but they probably operate similar to cracked or blistered thumbs) but even then I can't really say how exactly they go about handling there procedures when dealing with submissions and the people who make them.

I never saw that show just kinda ignored it myself. Personally I see this as an isolated incident and in two weeks we will have episode four and the show will be going along as usual which given this websites track record with animated shows will be an "okay" run.

If things like that continue to plague this production, it'll do a "I Hit It With My Axe" real quick.
