Ok good things first... Now thats over, The series keep playing the you-get-fired-if-you-do- something-i-dont-like joke. It wasn't funny the first time and it will not be funny the next hundred times, also the series need more progression in the story. Well you could throw in a joke or two written by a mentaly unstable frog, but then series would have some humor and it's obvious you guys don't want that. The episode with mister yee was and still is the funniest. I gave you guys a chance and well im going to watch next week's episode, but i think i would be better off jamming a fork in my eye because it's more fun.
More Bob. It's alright so far, but the 'main' characters are bland. I'd like to see more of the other employees.
This episode taught me something very valuable...
After the third episode, I Swore i'd never watch another.
Yet, I was tempted to see if ANY of the pages of criticism that has been hurled at this series, or suggestions, might have forced the writers to rethink what they are doing.
Instead, you guys seem determined to forge ahead with your idea, and I can respect that.
What I can't respect is this show.
I gave it three chances, and even a fourth and now I know that it's pretty much not worth my five minutes. I wanted to like it, I really did, but hey, not everything can be a hit and/or winner..
But We do have Doraleous and Associates and THAT new show, quite frankly, is so full of Win that it should wear a condom lest it impregnate every living being with pure awesome babies.

That's dudes, if you please. There are two animators, and we both do our work with rather impending deadlines.GamingAwesome1 said:
That said, dogs generally lack variety in facial expression. They communicate with body language - posture and tail motion accounts for 95%, and the other 5% is eyebrows, ears, and a varied degree of "growl snout." Hang out with a dog for a while, and really pay attention to the face. You'll see what I mean.
Also, doing a lot of facial animation would slow the release of each episode significantly. I can assure you that we have been steadily improving our methods from one episode to the next. Having more expressive facial animation may happen down the line, but it needs to evolve naturally over time. We have exactly one artist who very thoughtfully hasn't gone completely insane, yet.
Just be patient for now, if you please.
I have to say... I liked it.
WHAT? Yeah, it was pretty good. I think its one of those shows that if you "Watch" it, it gets monotonous very quickly. I just turned it on for five minutes and listened, and it sounds funnier without the flat visuals.
I still think that you cornered yourselves by calling it "Game Dogs" as opposed to "Code Monkeys", which had NOTHING to do with monkeys but was funnier than a Talking Crack Pipe. I can't say much for this show than that statement over and over.
I'll go back for one more week. If the first episode made me chuckle and this episode actually inspired a laugh, then within the next two episodes or so, I should be floored with silliness (hopefully).
Don't let me down.

Dear god...
I'm sorry, but the continuous "YOUR FIRED" and "ARE YOU INSANE?!" half jokes are starting to get to me. At least animate some walking when you can easily see their feet. Changing up what he says in the beginning would probably help, too. Axe Gary, make the plot flow faster, and show some promise if you want people to continue watching. And don't try the whole "Take that, Haters!" Thing. It doesn't work when you considering 99% of your audience haters.

Your funny. Unforgotten realms... was an epic. Literally, it was flowing, long enough and still held your attention, and it actually made people laugh, it's one of the greatest series i've ever watched.Mr.Squishy said:
On the other hand, I've never seen apocalypse lane, so I wouldn't know.
I don't like it by any means but I keep watching it mainly out of boredom and to see if it will actually get better. So far it has kept sucking. Pretty bad...Skizzo321 said:
Apocalypse Lane had a bad start, took a while to introduce the characters, but it did have some great lol/wtf moments to hold your interest. Game dogs doesn't so much.
I'm not ready to write the series off as lost after just 4 episodes, shorten it, add more jokes.

At least the very lame "Filmed in front of a live studio audience" thing is gone cause that was lame. I mean, we know it's not really filmed live and putting it in there just screams "Hey, we're funny!."
But to be harsh, I am being harsh already sorry, I don't find the humour in this and I don't care much for the story, so thanks, but I'll skip.

This series is so BORING and UNFUNNY. UNFUNNY.
I thought for a moment at the start that the boss was going to make a reference to all these hateful comments ("People say I'm not funny") but then that didn't happen and the series didn't improve so it was bad.
I feel kind of stupid though because I keep watching just to see how awful this series is. I really hope they either can it or improve it, and since I can't imagine ANYTHING that would make this better, I hope they can it.
The boss dog is NOT FUNNY. Nor is he particularly intimidating. And was that whole "boss is like satan" joke supposed to be a suprise? Because you played it out for a full fifteen seconds till the end, but it was so painfully obvious.

Not really a big fan of unforgotten realms whether i tried to see it as straight-faced or ironic. It just was so...boring...and it was just ridiculous when they met the french-speaking hammer with the monocle...and not in the funny way. I find game dogs to be better, although it is still LOW down on my quality ladder.
The thing is, I can tell the show is a satire, but I just can't tell what it's supposed to be satirizing. On the one hand, Gary and Mr. Yee should be exceedingly familiar to anyone who's worked in a corporate environment, as should Chet and the others, for the good things and the bad. Sometimes the show strikes me as a parody of a corporate game dev environment, but then other times it's just a parody of itself. When Bethany introduces herself as 'The Token Girl' that sealed it for me, everything here is token, so am I laughing with them, or at them?Mirrored Jigsaw said:
Then again, I found the "Probing Uranus" joke in Mass Effect 2 funny, so what the hell do I know?
I was entertained, didn't laugh out loud but enjoyed it. I liked Gary referencing the forums calling him "unfunny," hehe.
I'd say this episode beats the first two, but the 3rd episode was a little better.
