This show ended as it... um... continued: 50% epic, 50% hilarious, 100% awesome. Most people would not have the gumption to put a two-minute ad parody or a three-minute song number in a final episode, but you did both and you did it well. Mr. Shanks, whenever you decide to leap into another creative endeavour, I'll be right behind you. Don't turn back. You might startle me.

Also, I'm glad that my theory that the man upstairs was Yahtzee was confirmed. I mean, of course, you had to hide the truth behind a veil of smoke and mirrors, because of all the stupid people on the internet, but you and I and the rest of those in the know can see it clear as day. 'Oh, I was looking for Yahtzee...' clever, clever...

I salute the epicness that is Domesday Arcade, thank you guys for giving us such a great series.

(Favorite part is still when Shanks blew off his legs with the rocket launcher)

Haha! awesome works guys and Shanks, if you read this, you have the same name as the guy who plays Daniel Jackson from "Stargate SG-1", if you didn't realise.

Would have liked to have known who Mr. Mitchel is? (Nefarious's boss)

Series 2 they get potal'ed into the game world?

Phenomenal show, too bad it's over.

Going to watch the series again now.

The man upstairs is obviously a question you will have to answer for yourself0.

After reading what I wrote, I realized that this is going to turn into a region debate with video game characters replacing gods. FUN!

Good work guys, I hope to see more from you in the future wether it's on The Escapist (they would be stupid to not take you back for another series) or some other site.

So Polybus made it possible for the video game characters to cross over? I thought they used Portal technology to do it.

That was a great series guys :D It became something else around episode 11 but still was a great series through and through. The kissing was a bit...ew :p But other then that, it was great! My favorite part of the whole series wasn't even one of the bad puns, but right after Lazer cat died. "Because he's my friend, I can't lose anymore friends..." was just done really well.

I haven't been watching since about episode 11, the finale made me pick the show back up again. The cameos by LRR and Yahtzee and everyone was great, this series was amazing. I hope ya'll find something else you can do in the same vein as this, it was great.

Also, I wonder if there is room for a sequel, as you did leave the man upstairs a mystery, as well as how Peach died (I think.) I could see there being room for a tie up or something, maybe not a sequel but just a longer ending without, you know, a musical :p.

Good, but the end almost felt like an April Fools thing. I figured the man upstairs was Miyamoto. Would have made sense.

That was amazing. It was funny and was arguably the funniest of all the episodes. A very appropriate way to end it guys. GOOD JOB!

Not knowing who "The Man Upstairs" is would be fine if the creators of the show hadn't admitted that THEY know who it is: If he didn't need an identity, then why did you give him one in your own minds? You must have thought he needed an identity; that's how WE feel. However, it's not as satisfying making it up for ourselves; we've chosen to partake in your creative endeavor for entertainment, and naturally are interested your creative choice in this matter as well. Your choice of his identity is the only official one, and thus the only one that can be appreciated as a creative decision for the show. By leaving it out all together, you have equally displeased everyone.
I sympathize with your sentiment, just like I sympathized with the way Stephen King ended the Dark Tower books. However, he left the ending simultaneously open and closed. You've just left the ending hollow, something that the audience is forced to fill with their own creative substance. A thankless conclusion, in that respect.

That was amazing!
it oozed high brow comedy and wit from every pour!
Loved it!
no disappointments what so ever!
What a great series, sad to see it end but happy to see a good ending.
Also I give my personal thanks for giving Luigi the murder of his brother.

Amazing. Simply amazing. Props on the kiss scene at the end - very unexpected!

And it was admirable that you didn't reveal who the man upstairs was - you are quite right when you say it would be impossible to satisfy. (Ah, much as we fear from HL2: Episode 3.)

Bruce got the best death scene in the series, I'd say. Had forgotten about the grenade, but was very pleased to see it resurface here.

The music video was painfully hilarious. A lot of good masking work there - seamless.

And you'll be happy to know: I DID check my browser tabs! See what sound design can do for you? Ha!

Well-resolved. If you ever do anything again, I'll watch it. You all kick arse.

Since everyone wants it, and to save Shanks some time, I uploaded the music video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2oTH62Sc1Y] to YouTube.

Also here's a link to download the MP3 version [http://www.mediafire.com/?mz33mm2yavy].

The MP3 is high quality, the video isn't because of some compatibility issues, I'm working on the HD version now.

And for anyone that missed Shanks' earlier links, here's the PokeMetal [http://www.mediafire.com/?tcy4jjw4zmm] and the MarioMix [http://www.mediafire.com/?zztjn2nfutu], enjoy! :)

When Kratos killed everyone, all I could think was "Bruce can't be dead. He has to die awesomely."

"You're under CARDIAC ARREST!" counts as awesome.
