I love the dry, sardonic delivery. Beth is my favorite still and I love how the character development is going... I actually care about the characters now.
Favorite Line: "I'm going to catch that car someday!" Cuz I swear, that's what my dog is thinking every time my car leaves the driveway and he barks like one of dem crazies.

That was a much better episode than its predecessors. I hope the series continues along this direction. I like the conflict between awesome ideas and getting things done as represented by Chet and Roger. I can sympathies with the Roger's fear of letting another programmer play with his code.
I just want to point out most development teams do not program the intro first (if it is programed at all). It is like writing a novel, while the end user experiences it from start to finish, there is no rule that states the creator has to make it in that order. In fact it is often not a good idea. If you are trying to setup a later plot point it would be a good idea to have that later plot point finalized before you do the foreshadowing. Simarly if you are showing off game play elements in the intro it would be a good idea to make sure those game play elements work in the game first.

is this a furry series because i don't exactly agree with furries,its getting awkward to see how the internet is beginning to fill with them. PS no offense to whoever is one.
For what it's worth, this week's was "What the hell is a furry?"Plurralbles said:
I... Still didn't laugh, but I remain entertained. I think it's because I know enough people like these three for it to be laugh out loud funny. Also, I'm kinda glad Gary didn't make an appearance this week. Good to see the "You're gonna get fired! FIRED!" joke isn't going to be over used
I can quite honestly say that this is the best episode yet. I can also quite honestly say it is still terrible. At this point, aiming for mediocrity would be a creative doozy.
Once again, the humor relies on switching words normally associated with humans to words normally associates with dogs; "man" is replaced with "dog," "hand" with "paw," and so forth. It isn't clever. It isn't funny. It's sad.
All of the characters are still deathly whirlpools of blandness, the "animated before a live studio audience" card is still lame, and Bethany's statements of "sigh" and "gasp" are still damned annoying.
What's funny is that you people apparently listened to us on one matter: Gary's intro. Unlike the others, this one didn't leave a negative impression on me. In fact, it left no impression on me. It's sad when my greatest compliment to a show is that a couple of seconds left no impression on me, positive or negative.
Is there no feeling of need to improve upon what you've created? If there is, I'm not seeing it.
To those of you reading the comments before watching the video, know this. If you didn't like the other six episodes, this will not change your mind.

This cracked a smile at least.
I saw definite improvement in this one.
It's weird to say it, but...
Good work on this one.
Now just please drop the live studio audience bit, it's still not funny.

Well, define furry... The series is about anthropomorphic animals doing game development. It's not intended for a "furry" audience specifically. There will most likely not be any furry jokes in it other than "What the hell is a furry?!" =)i dont know said:
Bottom line, if you like dogs and jokes combining regular dog behavior mixed with human behavior you might just like this show.
Also saying you don't agree with furries is a rather wide statement as the "furry fandom" is as diverse as can be =P
I like dogs. Dogs and turtles. Dogs more, can't imagine my life without them.MaxRaine said:
But there is only 1 moment in the entire 5 minute show I actually found amusing. Still not enough to even smirk.
Again, other jokes were recycled. "Some day I will catch the car" is pretty similar to Homer Simpson's "Some day, that bowl will overflow, and I'll be there".
Wait, what? The only thing Beth ever does is either whine, moan, ask what's going on or misuse an onomatopoeia.GameGoddess101 said:
I have to concour with some people here, it is slowly getting better. I noticed Gary had a new line this week in the opening, but I couldn't hear it.
