Game Dogs: Pilot Episode: D&D Kills

[TETSUOrocks]

It's a good start. Hope for a fuller episode next time. Good theme music.

I've seen about three threads on 4chan about how this is a horrid furry show.

 

[Lord Thodin]

Kinda dry, picks up when Gary gets in there though, and when uh....the girl dog throws the dice at the dorky one....and then gets 100exp it made me laugh vury hard. Good job guys!

Your avatar is the greatest thing since.......I dont even know if there is something that cool. Rest easy on the pantheon of awesome my friend.

 

[Sgt. Dante]

So kinda like VG cats, only without the slow decline from good to just not funny. Just went ahead and started at the not funny.

 

[Timberwolf0924]

well, it was alright.. I laughed.. FurryFandom Shall Ensue..

 

[pyro42]

lol now that was funny, made funny by the controversy the surrounds D&D. for those who don't know the game D&D was labeled evil by the church many years ago after some kids died in an active subway tonal. first off as a pastor I can tell you that D&D by it's self is not evil, letting the world consume you so you can't tell reality from fiction is bad. If you can't tell reality for fiction it's probably a bad idea to play D&D. and for heavens sakes don't play at all in an ACTIVE subway tonal. sheesh it's stupid people like that, that give gamers a bad name.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

Well... the intro was a bit overlong, and it did drag a little. But I chuckled a couple of times. Let's say you got... *diceroll* 75xp and a cloak of +1 The Rogue Wolf Maybe Watching Episode 2.

 

[Normalgamer]

Not bad, not bad, I chuckled a few times.

 

[GundamSentinel]

Didn't make me laugh... bit cheap, if I'm honest. Maybe because I'm reading Darths and Droids again. That's how you make D&D funny.

 

[HyenaThePirate]

I'm sorry but no!

This was so bad didn't even make me smile...

This is obviously meant for KIDS who think that talking dogs and random mild violence is "cool" which I'm pretty sure no one, bar a few people. Hopefully episode 2 will be better but I think the idea is bad in General, I mean seriously, Talking Dogs!?!? save that shit for Disney and at east don't put any dog puns in. I know it was only "Dungeons & Dogs" but I could so see this escalate into "Modern Wooffare 2" or something, so please Russ stop this now before you make more series like this.

MODERN WOOFFARE 2 LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! That one comment is funnier than this ENTIRE animated episode.

On the series.. I think there is an IDEA here, but... well.. the problem is, sometimes, "Ideas" can be great on paper, not so good when implemented. I believe this series is the case of that...

I'm sure if I was sittin around with me mates and we were having a beer and came up with an idea for a bunch of dogs playing video games, it would be hilarious... the problem is, it's a bit like making a Gary Larsen tv show based on the Farside... the one-off panels are great, everyone knows that if you read the paper, but a half hour prime time cartoon would be disastrous because it just doesn't work.

Worse, this show runs the risk of becoming a poor man's "Code Monkeys" meets Big Bang Theory.. with "dogs". Not to say the "anthropomorphic" dog thing is the problem, it's just the subject matter involved.. I suspect these dogs might "work" at a gaming company.. and all the usual "character types" are there by the numbers... There's the obviously good-looking, "cool guy" dog, the nerdy curly haired friend, the obligatory "chick who probably doesn't seem like she should be playing games cause she's hot and doesnt engage in geek culture but is accepting of it and is probably the best game player in the group", the obnoxious, condemning "boss" who thinks "these punks are just wasting time when they should be working cause thats what grown ups do", and I'm sure other stale archetypes that will take about all of five seconds to flesh out upon sight. How long before we see the big fat sheep dog "uber nerd" that nobody likes and that engages in weird geek fetishes?

If you are into animation, ICEBOX had a series about poker playing dogs done in a similar fashion that actually turned out to be pretty damn good and was genuinely hilarious because of the SITUATIONS that occurred. If you haven't seen them, I suggest you take some time to go watch them. Just look up Poker Night on youtube because I think Icebox.com no longer has em up, but if you do, you'll see what I mean.

 

[uncle-ellis]

So wait.

I just.

What did.

those where furries.

 

[TwoShedsKeisadiya]

gonna have to say that was less than mediocre. the animation wasnt the worst ive ever seen but it wasnt good. i might watch another episode but it needs some radical changes if its gonna get any fans

 

[Badassassin]

kids, don't play D&D.

d&d is demonic and deadly... hahahah

+100 exp for bad pun
+100 exp for self-laugh

 

[feather240]

No, the animation is too choppy for slapstick.

No, why does it need to be dogs? It's just... *ugh*

No, jokes aren't that great.

I might watch a later episode to see if it improves, but that's about it for me.

 

[farmerboy219]

its was ok, willing to keep watching tho

 

[elricik]

As far as first episodes go, it was alright, made me laugh a few times, I'll watch a fewer more episodes before I make a final judgement.

 

[revjay]

So this is an animated drama about dogs? Did I miss something? Nice effort but not my cup of tea.
