happy Halloween to you guys too. Can't wait for the next episode. Hey it's not like they have to stick with the characters being dead they could just have the next episode and pretend like none of this even happened... like itchy and scratchy. either way time to go draw some porn of Roger out of respect of course.
I saw that there was no new episode this week, so I looked at this one to see if the series had ended.
The whole thing was pretty tasteless, and the suicide at the end was insensitive. Also, jokes about obscure laws have been done to death and aren't funny.
If you wanted publicity and shock value, you sure got it. But this episode, above all others, proved that you guys are just plain bad at this. I beg you to abandon Game Dogs and focus on the site's other animated show. The one that's actually funny. The one that the community doesn't hate. The one that falls in line with The Escapist's usually high-quality video library. Please focus on Doraleous & Associates.
But above all, just let Game Dogs die. Please.

Well, I'm assuming this was the last episode. No point in waiting another week for another game dogs. It's kind of disappointing that the creators of game dogs can't keep up the standard set out by other, superior animated series.
Also, I'm putting http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/game-dogs/ on my leechblock list. Just so that I don't accidentally watch the next episode should it actually come out.

Oh come on! If you hate these videos so much why do you keep commenting! I'd like you try better! Attempting to act all high and mighty behind a screen! besides the video was hilarious! Get your self a sense of humor!
I really hope this is not the end of the series.
Sure this episode was a bit dark, but I was hoping to see more.

Y'know, this has made me curious.
I've actually been watching for the next episode all week.
It's intriguing.
And I want to see it.
So it still isn't out yet? T.T

No final episode , no Lame joke , no this is the end =>>>>>>> Hell YEAH ITS FINALY DEAD *does the happy dance * Now all thats left is to get rid of the one thing on the main page that make everything look ugly and : * The series is going to fall in the abyss of Forgotten Sh*T that should no be remembered * *EVIL Psychotic Laugh hahahahahahahahahaha*
So I come here to see the new Game Dogs and... where is it? Hell, it's even been removed from the "Latest Video" lineup and hidden in the "Archived Videos". Does that mean it's officially over?
And now, my two cents:
The series has never been that strong, but it's at least been enjoyable. Towards the end of the first season it was starting to fall apart, and the second wasn't much better. It seemed strange to me that the writers had set up a story... and then refused to tell it. Take, for example, the 'Nam episode. True, there were one or two funny lines, but really you could have cut it down to about a minute, used it as a flashback in another episode, and then it would have been a nice way of explaining how the boss became so vacant (yes, the character left such a huge impression on me I can't even remember his name). Instead, we have to sit through an entire episode of quite frankly boring dialogue to get to something funny/important.
As a whole, the entire second season just felt random. You decide to centre your season arc around the takeover of the business by Russians. That's a good, strong idea. But when did that ever come into play? The Russians' assistant made that pretty funny angry call to the review website, then (again) there's an entire 5 minute episode devoted to a 30 second (at most) joke that has nothing to do with anything... and that's about it. There was, however, a glimmer of hope in A Woofcraft Wedding, which was far and away my favourite episode. I don't think it was particularly funnier than the average episode, but it was more in tune with my sense of humour (using visual gags such as: "Why not just kill me?!" *look at each other* *frantically types*). It's nothing that hasn't been done many times before by much better people, but at least there were signs of improvement.
Then came The Hand Of Fate. I had no idea there was a poll to kill off a character going into it, so it came as a complete surprise that a character that had just received a lot of room for potential character development was suddenly killed off. Not only killed off, but killed off FOR LAUGHS. I wasn't offended or shocked, it just felt... random. Sudden. And that's not even starting on how utterly out of left field Roger's suicide was.
I'm not saying abruptly killing off the series was a bad thing, but it's rather sad that it didn't even get a last hurrah of a final episode, one that conclusively felt like a series finale rather than a waking nightmare of random violence. Even if you hate the series, you have to admit, wouldn't you have liked to have seen a final episode in the style of the last episode of Blake's 7 (look it up if you don't know what Blake's 7 is)?
I'm not particularly sad or happy, I'm just disappointed. There's now yet another series out there that just stops rather than actually ending.
