Doomsday Arcade: Episode One

[Markness]

Nice work guys, I hope the second episode is as good as this one.

I have a dream.. cast. Old joke is old. That was decent but I don't think it will be a great hit.

Also, can someone clarify this line for me? "Don't you think you're (something I couldn't make out)?"
"Well, I tried (something I couldn't make out) technique but all that did was leave a bad taste in my mouth."

"Don't you think you're promoting this a bit too much?"

"Well, I tried Chris Slack's (De-Rez) technique but all that did was leave a bad taste in my mouth" - Referring to oral copulation.

Thanks.

I had hoped for a double feature (Pilot+ first new episode) but ok. I'm curious about the next episodes.

We'd considered either starting up the series with a new installment, like we did with Unskippable, or holding off re-releasing the pilot and doing a 2-for-1 deal. Ultimately we decided this series needs the set-up of the pilot to make sense, that some folks may not have seen the original at the Film Festival, and a two week delay putting out the second episode would help more than it hurt. We're confident Episode Two will be worth the wait, so please stay tuned for a couple of weeks!

In the mean time, we have yet another new series, There Will be Brawl, premiering tomorrow afternoon, and Unskippable, The Escapist Show, Zero Punctuation, Unforgotten Realms and de-rez will return next week. So maybe the waiting won't be so dull.

Too Many videos!!!!!!! Not really

...They're surprised by the Citadel? ...but doesn't every city them? I live in a Citadel.

Other than that, awesome. Can't wait for the next episode.

"ye....shut up"

Haha, my favourite part. Looking forward to the new episodes!

I just realized, i love the 8 bit tie from thinkgeek =P and the radiohead hail to the thief wall XD

nice work with the graphics and the concept, but with some of the jokes and such it comes off like you were just trying too hard. it doesn't have the same wit or delivery like de-rez (most similar for comparison).

Colour me dissapointed it wasnt new content, Im really looking forward to this series

Copy and paste minus the smiley.

Episode One

Tied for first place in this year's Escapist Film Festival, this is the story of two gamers who find themselves the targets when video game characters invade the real world with one objective: Kill the fascist users!

I....well I didn't like it. I agree with this:

nice work with the graphics and the concept, but with some of the jokes and such it comes off like you were just trying too hard. it doesn't have the same wit or delivery like de-rez (most similar for comparison).

Kind of reminded me of an amateurish attempt by some media students to make a comedy series. Not once did I laugh, and all the jokes were weak. The acting was strained and forced, and there was none of the sublime wit of De-Rez or Unskippable. Ok, so the graphics were good, but graphics are very rarely funny.

It's a bit like that awful series called Disc Read Error I once saw.

Congratulations on a great start, guys. I am looking forward to seeing more! Don't let people's attempts to compare you to other stuff get to you - make your own series, your own way!

 

[RAWKSTAR]

This is fantastic!
Possibly my new faverate on here.

I'm sure it's supposed to have that feeling of a forced joke.

Unlike a lot of other people, I'm excited for the new series and feel that it has a lot of potential. ZP is kind of a shot in the dark with each eps, but this has something a bit more epic like UR. I find this much funnier than Unskippable because of it's outlandish action and behavior of its characters.

There is however a lot of room for it to go downhill...

good! i rather liked it. not top notch like zp or unforgotten realms, but damn good, and the funniest live action thing on the site! keep it up, i like where its going.

"Ironically forced humour" has been around for too long. It really isn't funny anymore and probably needs to stop.

 

[Karisse]

A welcome addition to the Escapist video line up.

 

[Smokescreen]

Enjoyed this. Good work people.

 

[Syphonz]

I have no idea what I find beyond the intro so, charmingly funny. I mean, after the Mario Stalin speech everything was so...cheesy, yet, amazingly funny. Somethings wrong with me, I should hate this.

 

[AceDiamond]

While not uproariously funny (possibly because I have become a jaded 20-something recently), I did find this funny (and did laugh heartily at Snake's first words being primarily composed of Japanese Pro Wrestlers)

Can't wait to see more.

Also I actually do sort of enjoy the "forced" delivery of some of the quote-based jokes because let's be honest, that's how it comes out in real life anyway.

 

[flaming_squirrel]

Well..it has potential in my opinion, there was the odd genuinely funny bit in there, on the other hand though it was spoiled by poorly placed, overused meme's and some godawful acting in places.
But like I said, got potential for a good series there, just not fully utilising it yet.
