I didn't like this series at first but imo it's starting to pick up.

That's one virus I don't mind catching

Y'know, I really never liked StarCraft much.. Too much "YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS".

Needs more Supreme Commander, with it's absolutely insane gameplay. Screw not having enough minerals, Monkeylords advance~! \o/ Sadly, SupCom 2 is becoming more StarCraft like with the blasted resource gathering.

Other than that, episode was awesomesauce. Poor Jer and his inability to stay standing while pointing fingers. ;;

Zynga also had it coming. Especially after RMT being almost mandatory expectancy in games like World of WarCraft, Final Fantasy XI and such.. It's only a matter of time before an MMO (or whatever Zynga calls their genre of games) gets the same treatment..

"COD 4 Life, dawg!"

Yeah! Those losers who play real-time strategy games can't mess with the pros who play first-person shooters that use strategic maneuvering and team-work to over come rushing enemies... Wait...

I find it funny that James is saying Starcraft is lame when in cH he was waiting in line for it

Both Zero Punctuation and ENN... the Escapist has been taken over by cats! Actually, that doesn't sound so bad. Might have to watch this a few more times for any missed visual gags, spent most of it laughing too hard.

Aww, poor Zynga, welcome to the real money trade issues plaguing many online games. Solid Snake's bathhouse adventures on the Wii... motion controls... I just can't complete this joke. Fable 3 impregnate your 'friends' mechanics, sounds more like they're trying to add to the potential humiliation of first-person shooters and the crouch command, so I guess there will be PvP in Fable 3. I'm actually surprised that Assassin's Creed 2 didn't make TeenBeat, isn't that look (minus the arsenal) the popular look nowadays?

Though, the Starcraft report seems almost real. I imagine plenty of people will be calling in 'sick' to work on release day. Wait a minute, case of Starcraft, so by being in the beta, I've been a carrier of the disease? By talking to friends about it I've... oh dear god, no! What have I done!

You son of a-
Ugh... Actually, thinking back, didn't LRR reference that in the end credit text blurb of an Unskippable Episode a while back?

True story. Well, actually, I like Starcraft, too; but Supreme Commander is just so freakin' awesome I can't describe it. The best thing was that it didn't take the route of other RTS games and use a similar (or even the exact same) system to Starcraft. They actually added new, creative things to an RTS game.

Possibly the best Youtube quote I've ever seen in my life, posted to a SupCom 2 preview video:
"Supreme Commander 2: Super Kawaii Bintu Space Prince Battle for Friendship and Resources"
Everything awful about that sequel jammed into one title.

Between the opening credits, closing commentary, outtake, picture captions, headline captions, and stories themselves, it's impressive how many gags you guys stuff into each episode.
Thanks!
It's possible that this series takes more writing per episode than a normal sketch, there's so many little things.
