ENN lives once more

[The_Decoy]

Well I'm assuming that a few of you on here enjoyed ENN as much as I did, and will be happy to know it's been reborn as "Checkpoint" over on Penny Arcade:

Good times for all

It's pretty much the same but with a pallet swap and logo change.

This makes me happy. Thank you for telling me. Thank you.

 

[The_Decoy]

You're welcome They're great guys, I don't know why the Escapist let it go....

 

[SwimmingRock]

You can't tell, but I'm making my happy face right now. I only read the first half of the news section of yesterdays PA, so this completely slipped by me. Who knows how long it would've taken me to find out by myself. What I'm saying is: thanks for the link .

 

[The Shade of Time]

Awesome, I missed ENN.

I do love me some Graham Stark.

 

[Ranorak]

WHOO!!

Too bad I now have MORE sites to check out on my daily funny video routine.

Apparently, ENN didn't get much traffic on The Escapist. Which is kinda surprising, considering it was great...

OT: Oh yeah!

That's absurd!
I watch enough of the episodes for everyone.

The Escapist had to make room for new material, like... Jimquisition.
Nobody laugh.

Fine then, I'll cry instead. Or scream. Whichever you think is more appropriate.

That made me sad...

Yeah, I used to always be around at 2pm on a Wednesday for it coming out, it's a shame that it's gone but Anthony, Show About Games Show, and Tales from the Table are still going :/ I mean they might be alright shows but ENN actually made me laugh a lot

Well, it's got a new home now and that's what's important

I knew this already, but it just makes me sad you making this thread because my school's internet allows escapist videos but not PA videos :'(

Well, it wasn't 'nuff... :/ Quoting Escapist's IT Director on why it was shut down...

It's usually the same reason for just about any show that stops running - not enough people were watching it to make it worth the time/money to create it.

By the way, those guys made the <url=http://loadingreadyrun.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=14251>announcement themselves quite a while ago.

I read ENN as Elvis.

Anyway, this is pretty cool. Glad to see that it's not gone forever.

 

[Alfador_VII]

Great to see this back. The show did not deserve to die, I guess the average Escapist viewer didn't appreciate them.

Clearly everyone in this thread is better than that, Yay for Checkpoint!

 

[sam42ification]

This is awesome but why do the videos take so long to load? I have a fast internet and the escapist and utube (not to mention so other sites ) load really fast. With Penny Arcade it's taking ages. Glad to see it back though.

 

[DJDarque]

Pardon my ignorance, but what is ENN?

EDIT: Question answered.

 

[Keith Keiser]

Best news I've heard all day!

 

[ragestreet]

Op is credit to team!

Capcha: dellev acquired

Yes! With this mighty dellev I finally have the power to verb nouns!

 

[natster43]

Awesome news. I'll watch this after I get home from school.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is ENN?

Escapist News Network. It's a show that ran here on the escapist but was canned. It's up and running on Penny Arcade now though The old episodes still haunt the Escapists servers, and are worth a look (though the newsroom ones, where they changed the format are worse that the old way in my opinion).
