I thought this was a great way to change things up. It was funny and seemed a bit more shooting from the hip.

I don't know if I would do this every week... I mean, two-weeks, but a couple times a year I think this would be great.

It was funny, and a nice change, but the format's just too... well, friendly. I've got friends for when I want to hear people bantering, and then I can actually get involved. This just seems like a video saying "well, we're having a good time, but you have to stay outside the window there." The more freeform stuff like Desert Bus worked because it was a two-way thing - this just feels exclusionary.

It's like Phailhaus... with BOARDS!

In other words, awesome... with BOARDS!

That's not to say that boards aren't awesome, just that they add a new level of awesome onto the PhailEnn mix.

I liked it...but probably as a way to break up ENN. If this happened too often, I'd get a little tired watching this.

I love the super dry delivery, perhaps I'm just used to that kind of humour, who knows.

Honestly I love you guys, and rarely have disliked anything you've done to date. This is a fun format, it's a nice change of pace, it's more casual, and very reminiscent of Phailhaüs, but I think something was slightly off about it. It could be lack of the text overlay, the random banter between Graham and Kathleen, but there seems like something was missing. With that say, it was a nice change of pace, I enjoyed the drawing up of the new THQ logos, you wouldn't have been able to have done that in a normal ENN segment, so you lose things in order to gain things. So I suppose nothing is really -missing- per se, the simplicity just gives it a different charm.

Overall, love this format, but I'm also a fan of the old format(s), so whichever way you guys go, you have my support.

Interesting experiment, but it didn't really work. Maybe it would be worth another shot if they changed things up a bit

Format now more "TMZ" as opposed to "Daily Show"/"Weekend Update".
Verdict: Works just fine I suppose.

This was a good break with the usual format. Though both have there good points.

I love this new format, its freaking awesome! The old one was getting kind of bland. I also like the 4 people format instead of just 2 (Not saying 2 is bad, still freaking hilarious, just 4 is twice as amazing)

I like it. It seemed more natural. Before, it was always "Line of truth. Joke based on truth. Next story." Now it can kind of go any direction within that same format.

Still, whatever you guys do, it will continue to be funny, but it will never be as funny as the stuff you do in Loading Ready Run. <3
