The party members try to get a decent night's sleep before concocting a plan against the Spider Queen.

When the first post on your thread is not even a "First" leading to a suspension, but a link to another series that does what you are attempting to do but better, which is posted a good 15 minutes after your video... your show has failed.

In an Era where GameCrush is a legitimate business, I am proud of my fellow Escapists for not being taken in by this amazingly shallow poorly done "show" just because it has tits in it.

This episode did a much better job about not having so many rapid cuts and little one-liners that no one had context of. The pacing just felt a lot better.

One issue to note is that somewhere mid-way there is a bit of metal music interlude and the level volume is MUCH higher then the spoken dialog, which led to me almost throwing my headphones off. Try to do a better job matching the sound levels.

"I'm really good at everything so I do it" - Quite possibly the best line in the series thus far...

Best of the lot so far. Whilst the part of the episode I found funniest wasn't the D&D stuff (it was the Hello Kitty MMORPG banter), the cuts weren't as annoying, the camera wasn't as jerky and overall things were funnier - there were plenty of moments that made me laugh. This has definitely won me over.

Not a lot of rapid cuts, and one-liners? What show did YOU watch? Or did you just mean in comparison to the previous episodes? Because I still saw plenty of that within the first few minutes.

Hmm... I started watching these videos last week and I have to say I'm really enjoying them.

Keep up the good work!

 

[Distorted Stu]

Yeah im going to say the link posted in the first comment is much better than this crap. I mean, the first 2 seconds i pulled my headphones out. THE NOISE. Noise levels need sorting out, needs a sript, better camera. hell a better show.

 

[lethargychick]

Best episode yet! Looking forward to more!

I thought they said this was supposed to not suck by episode five. Somebody lied to me. I even tried watching it after mentally telling myself to give it a fair chance. I watched it from the point of view that I hadn't seen the first two episodes, and gave it a fresh start. I still couldn't stand it.

In four minutes I got about fifteen seconds of mild humor total between a portion of the Hello Kitty conversation, and the idea of sacrificing a horse. That's not a very good ratio. And whoever edits this seems to think that cutting to random, weird noises is a good idea.

I am officially finished giving this show chances, and I hope many others feel the same. Let's all go watch the D&D game linked in the first post, 'cause it's sooooooo much better.

I thought I'd try the fabled ep 5 (I am willing to try to like something) and I'm afriad it still does nothing for me. I can cope with the skaky handheld cam, but the choppy editing was too much. It felt like when my Freeview Plus (a bit like a UK version of Tivo) messes up and trys to play a recorded show at x2 speed and the sound goes to hell trying to keep up.

I was referring to previous episodes. The beginning was the worst, but as the episode progressed you still had the sence you were watching the same scene rather then a bunch of randomness.

D&D is not always easily filmed, there is lots of dead space. I know people have said others have done it better, but I am seeing improvement here and hope they continue to improve.

So this is the episode where the series was supposed to get better? I don't see it. I decided I'd give it until episode five, and decide then. I've made my decision. I'm done with the series, but good effort.

 

[PhiMed]

I was told this got good by episode 5. It got better, but it's still pretty damn awful. Therefore, I'm done with this show. I've got better things to do.

Really funny video, keep up the good work!
(not exactly there, but on your way non the less)

its getting there, less cutting more playing please

Their awkwardness of what to do and their limited imaginations make this rather painful. In concept having stripper and porn stars doing anything is cool. But the concept falls flat on inception. We wnt to watch strippers and porn stars use their 'skills' in variuos other tasks, in this case play D&D. If they don't strip and or 'porn' (used as a verb) then there is no difference in watching just normal, actually cute or hot girls play.

I agree this was the best episode yet. Still not great, but good enough to make me give this show a second chance.

Yeah, about that, having these 'adult film stars' in ordinary situations such as playing D&D helps to bring into focus the fact that they are people as opposed to walking vaginas. Plus would you really expect the escapist to have people screwing in their videos, if that's what you want there are plenty of other sights out there for you!

It's getting much better. I can't wait to see the next one.
