Escapist News Network: A Few Good Gamers

[Caliostro]

ENN, now powered by the Konami Code.

I probably missed it, but what's the title of this episode about?

it's a spoof of the title of the 1992 movie "A Few Good Men" (it's the movie where the quote "I want the truth!...you can't handle the truth!" came from

The STD joke was great haha. Morgan's accent reminded me of Apache. It was over the top funny.

Probably the only thing I didn't enjoy so much was the Final Fantasy caption about it being "like the first one should have been". They AREN'T sequels, they're completely different games that all happen to be part of a series. Although the roman numerals are a sort of cop-out, it's still not the same as Assassin's Creed 2 or Uncharted 2. THEY have the same characters and overall set-up. In a lighter side to it, it does mean the Squeenix can finally work on a new series that ISN'T Final Fantasy, which will most likely be a successor.

I think this is more of a pointer to the fact the the original Final Fantasy game was supposed to be the last game ever made by Square Co., but the game did so well that it single-handedly saved the company from bankruptcy. It was intended to be the Final Fantasy.

However, it also spreads an incorrect message to certain unenlightened ones on The Escapist that take that and make the assumption that simply because it's called "Final Fantasy", it's apparently gospel and that any Final Fantasy game with a roman numeral after it is sacrilege.

I liked the "and simply not speaking Russian" crack on COD modern Warfare 2 that terrorist mission was fun

I've been battering the Konami Code into places on this site for a while now and still nothing.

I'm disappointed.

 

[Splitfire3]

Doctors, Lawyers, and Politicians are the Math geeks in of yesterday?

We're Screwed!

(Really though, where's the engineers and scientists in that one?)

Also, does anyone else want to try and fire that turret with a GH controller?

So that is what Americans sound like to Europe.

Great episode, etc. etc.

Loved the Afganistan joke. And the one about hunters being "easy mode." My first WOW character was a hunter. So was my ten year old cousins... And I won't give my feelings on EA. That would get me banned...

Hey, does this remind anyone else of "This Hour has Twenty Two Minutes." It was a sketch comedy show, framed as a news show. Sort of. I can't really describe it well.

It's so sad but it took me a while to actually click onto the Imperial Hot gag.

I actually cried a little when I was enlightened one day, I think I was mid nothing and it suddenly dawned on me.

 

[duchaked]

hahaha oh man, the two that got me was about smashing the TVs with the (lubricated, no less) waggle-er, motion remotes
and the AA gun with the guitar hero buttons xD awesome stuff, two biggest laughs I've had from ENN

Where's Europe fit in here? LRR is from Canada.

So, basically... you?

I don't think so. The producers are all English I do believe

The credits state ENN is written and performed by members of the sketch comedy group LoadingReadyRun. They are from Canada. I don't know how involved the producers get in the filming of this, but the accent was probably Morgan's (the actor that portrays the military character) idea, or someone else in LRR.

GoodEyeSniper has it right, Hileict.
We can't be held responsible for how someone might read it if they're ignorant of the history, the joke we made is that FF1 should have been the last one.

 

[chantzzzzz]

Remind me not to drink milk while watching these. They keep getting better and better, so hopefully that continues

My chain of thought at the hunter joke: "She said catastrophe in reference to hunters! Perhaps because people say that hunters are so populous that they ruin the game? Wait... Cataclysm caused by Huntardation? Hah! It's funny because I don't like hunters!"

I love these guys and girl. And on Kathleen's wrist, I thought it was from when they were moving the couch.
