Unfortunately I doubt you guys will ever unseat ZP as the premier Escapist draw, but it's great work and I like it a lot more than D-Rez or Unforgotten Realms, I can't wait to see the next episode.
Please, not only you Pedro, but ALL OF YOU. DO - NOT - . I repeat DO -NOT- compare EVERYTHING to Zero Punctuation. It's like comparing a windmill to a car.

It's uncomfortably energetic.

"Thank you very much Mr. Roboto."

That made me laugh incredibly hard. This is by far the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.

Not bad. Just have to see if DR is going to be doing any more before this displaces it as my favorite escapist show.

Real shame it isn't a new episode and a unlike the other new show, funny.

QUOTING, for emphasis.

They're not as much a rival for ZP as they are for De-Rez, cause real life and gaming mix are their grounds. Unskippable went ZP's way to humiliate the game from the inside... Might prove to be a good series, but for now I'll wait in the dark corner before I say yay or nay.

It was in response to the "best Escapist Webseries Ever" line, I just had this sort of "Don't pretend you can unseat ZP, it is folly" thought in my head. It escaped and spewed itself onto the forum.

I had hoped for a double feature (Pilot+ first new episode) but ok. I'm curious about the next episodes.
the tie can be bought at www.thinkgeek.com

and hooray for your replacement script. [/sarcasm]

That was my favorite part as well, except for that one line "Hey, just what you've always wanted: a Solid Snake at your back door!"

Ok is his tie real or not? I can't figure it out.
It's real, its designed to look 8-bit

I really like this, though not as much as Unskippable. Best of luck!

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."

The game character actors really aren't doing it for me. But the two weirdos under attack are very funny. Love that Python-esque inexplicable surreality. I'll put up with the goofy costumes and mediocre premise just for that.

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. ;)

I may have seen this before, but its still incredibley funny. Theres just so many great quotes in here.

"Can you speak Japanese?!"
"No, but I can read"

God, I've got to get that tie. This is now my faviourite thing on the escapist appart from Yahtzee, keep it up.
i like ZP also but ever since his latest episodes starting from fallout3 i realized that not only does yahtzee lie but he: plays online mode, doesnt pay attention to story as much as he says, and doesnt pay attention to simple controls

Great, really fun to watch. So many great references; "Somebody set us up the bomb!" I also like the fact that there are also multiple Half Life references (the citadel in the background), as that is not often done.
Man, I got to get that tie!

They cut out that bit of funky music in the transition from the videogame world scene to the real world scene! I am have sad face, that music made for a really sweet polish. Still a class show though!
