Escapist News Network: Resident Evil Romance

[standokan]

wow i didn't watch enn for a time but its really improved, it's awesome now

 

[MDSnowman]

I giggled throughout the entire audio novel, and then laughed so hard my lunch nearly came flying out of my mouth at the sandwich comment.

 

[ShadowsofHope]

That was just slightly disturbing. Just slightly.. yeah..

..Anyways! <_<

 

[Telperion]

The novel reading at the end of the episode made me feel really uncomfortable. I mean like, my body was shivering and convulsing with disgust, and I was feeling nauseous. Good job, but please don't do that very often! The double entrendes were making me feel like closing the web browser before the end of the show. You don't want that!

On one hand, I can see the point about VG novelizations being quick cashins, but on the other hand, I happen to love Warhammer books (not really video gaming, but close enough) and I can't really join in on the laughing at people who read VG novels. Granted, I happen to think there are pretty solid WH novels and while they aren't mind blowing, you could do a lot worse in the adventure&action department than read some Gotrek&Felix or Malus Darkblade...

 

[Nojh]

Wow guys. Wow. I'm seriously. Wow. That was probably the funniest thing you've done yet. I can't believe how horrifying and funny that was. Wow. Kudos to whoever wrote that, the voice over, Jeremy and Kathleen for their performances there. I'm still flabbergasted.

ALso if next week doesn't involve a hippo in some fashion I'll be very disappointed.

What Graham says is true...but, like abuse victims of the francise...we just keep coming back! And...we always will ;;

 

[ziggy161]

The Resi book sounds amazing XD
I would SO buy that just for the massive lulz!

 

[TheJwalkR]

Oh god....
That was...
how about no more video game novelizations

 

[Galad]

ugh, I fast-forwarded after the first 20ish secs of the novelization thing. You did it great guys, it's just so cheesy and over-the-top I couldn't stand it lol.

 

[Plurralbles]

that... was awkward.

But if you need something for 18 vats of grape jelly, You could always send every active escapist member some ; )

I read Mass Effect. It was okay.

 

[Sampsa]

Great choice for narrator! Also, there're DAO books? Gotta check my nerd heaven first thing in the morning.

 

[addeB]

Maybe a elephant could replace the hippo?

 

[gamepopper101]

I think (though I'm not certain) that this episode clearly made fun of Stephani Danelle Perry.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Wow, that was... uh interesting. I see Kathleen enjoyed it, go figure. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to wash my brain out.

 

[goggzilla]

Yes. They've made a concerted effort to change the humor in order to attract more viewers.

For their sake I hope its working, because these guys and this site is great and should get more support, but personally I preferred the dry / straight news style from before.

Gaming for Pets for example, when Graham delivers the "Hey look an Eagle" line with the Cthulu Gamestop graphic. That in my mind was absolutely perfect.

 

[antipunt]

oooo WOoow that was awkward

 

[ben---neb]

That was sufficently awkward...

Great episode guys!

 

[The Iconnorclast]

Whoever wrote that romance novel part... wow.

*shudder*
