Sorry, gang, but the whole interview skit, it... well, it sort of died on the table there. Perhaps it's best just to pull the sheet over its head and move on.
Kathleen can trash-talk with the best of 'em, though.

Or maybe Jeremy is secretly a cockatrice, and if he gazed directly into our eyes, we'd all turn to stone. I'm just throwing out ideas here.SonicKoala said:

In a way, maybe they did something right there, if the awkwardness (and strangeness) can be felt even through the monitor. A silly little misunderstanding goes horribly wrong. Makes me wonder, is it okay anymore to laugh at this. I´m appoint.operagirl95 said:
But I like Paul´s short appearances more
All too obvious that the interview was staged on both sides.
I have to say I'm dissapointed by this slot, because in an effort to appear funny (albeit with some success), ENN has missed an obvious niche. A straight-faced weekly video news bulletin presented by a couple of clean-cut, well presented people like Graham and Kathleen is exactly what's missing from this website. There are, admittedly, video news sites out there, but they're all too often mired by shrieky internet demagogues, opinionated reactionaries and journalistic plagiarism.
The Escapist hosts a lot of informative articles every week. It's a genuine shame that all the serious/quasi-serious stuff is confined to written form, while far more widely viewed video spots are all toung in cheek spoofs. I'm not saying there shouldn't be fun video spots. Clearly this site would be lost at sea without the likes of ZP. But surely there's room for some more serious journalistic fare on The Escapist's servers?

I like to think we are presenting actual news, with a satirical twist - you still get an idea of what is going on, but also you get some laughs in. Regarding us just presenting straight up news, no jokes - I'm not sure gaming news should take itself more seriously.
I'm glad everyone liked the end joke. Jer and I had a lot of fun with that. The original version was quite dirty:
Jer: Have I ever told you that you're like a sauna?
Kathleen: Because I'm hot and steamy?
Jer: Because you frequently have hairy european men inside you.
Finally: just call me Kathleen! Referring to me by "De Vere" makes me feel like I'm on some sort of organized sports team and I'm being yelled at for being rubbish at it, getting distracted, looking for four leaf clovers in the outfield and then getting hit in the head by a pop fly.

As much as I like watching Unskippable, ENN and the rest, the guild interview fell flat. I understand this was probably a joke they were all in on, but it was too convincing at how uncomfortable and akward the situation was and it went on for far too long. To be honest it probably would have been better if it was recycled GamerX interview footage or outakes.
I must say, I wholly expected Graham to do a runner when he was called out on being horribly, horribly unprepared.
I only laughed at the "once you go black" joke because im rude. Other than that it wasnt really good..
Thanks for your contribution. I had forgotten that since the last episode was in September. I guess I'm a terrible fan. I'll be self-flagellating if anyone needs me.Onyx Oblivion said:
Also, to the person who said it was obvious that the interview was staged... just wow. Are these the same people who are still "calling out" professional wrestling on not being real?
This weeks ENN was just bloddy brilliant. The stab at Langdell, the Black Wii, and I thought the Guild piece was pretty good, although I think it could have been about 30 seconds shorter. The patter during the credits was awesome. The sauna joke was made of awesome, and yes Jeremy you need a new coat.
