I Hit It With My Axe: Episode One: Meet the Party

[baconfist]

I liked this movie, I had a nice "oh snap" moment when I realized that these people were mostly in porn, which I noticed about 3 seconds after I saw Sasha Grey's name. Might not be humor filled but it's still interesting.

 

[Coldman42]

I wonder how many people google'd these porn stars afterwards...

Probably a lot, but i recognized most of them. Not by name mind you because i don't get that into my porn. Well mostly. I did recognize Satine Phoenix's name.

I AM NOT OBSESSED WITH PORN!!!

 

[Deef]

I could only make it half way through before being over come with unbearable boredom, my own DnD group is more interesting than this, but were not goth porn stars are we? I've gotta say, this is easily the worst video in escapist history, way to go.

What about Gamedogs?

 

[Wolf Devastator]

I find D&D dull it's still better then watching people play D&D

My thoughts exactly...

Yes, even compared to Game Dogs... at least that's animated boredom.

Also, I thought this site was all about the PG-13 content, what with the bleeping of the word fuck in your own reporting videos and all that. I don't really see how having pornstars who play D&D fits this model.

I thought that too.

Serious question. Is this an attempt to make D&D cool?
As I don't so much have a problem with this video, I just don't get the point.
Its not a documentary, review or comedy, as far as I can tell

How does someone's real life profession affect a video's rating? They dont strip in it and you wouldnt know that they are porn stars or whatever if it wasnt explained in the description. And i dont think that the wording "adult film performer" is dangerous to minors.
...Yes if you do recognize them then you are certainly no minor anymore.

I was thinking more along the lines that older escapists may start commenting on where they know them from. Then the odd comment thats not "PG 13" may slip out.
I think it could be bait for the moderators wrath.

BTW, is this meant to be reality TV, I've scanned through the older comments and see that mentioned

 

[Evil the White]

Well, that was weird.

 

[Guybrush Threepwood]

I was kinda hoping for comedy.....orrrr anything other than adult performers sitting around a table talking i guess. Could go well, could be kinda bland, time will tell.

 

[DC_Josh]

I gave it a watch through, its nice to see an avant garde piece about D&D and hookers floating around this ocean of media.

Although it made me feel slightly forlorn... Always felt bad for porn stars.

And they say Gamers are eternal virgins... this'll prove them wrong

I'm not a regular at THE ESCAPIST. As a matter of fact,I joined because of the video series here that so many of you seem to have such a problem with (yes, I'm including "I don't have a problem, I just didn't like it" into the group of people who seem to think this was posted IN ORDER to offend them). To those of you who feel it was a waste of of your time, well, you're the best judges of that, but to those of you who were expecting some kind of knee-slapping hilarity or some mysterious epiphany, I honestly don't know why you did. Was this promised to you? No. I don't see where all the name calling and accusations are coming from.

I guess that those of you who DON'T like "I HIT IT WITH MY AXE" won't be back next week posting about next Wednesday's episode.

I, however happened to like it quite a bit, so I'll be back.

Probably because every video series in the history of the site has been either
1) A critic who reviews comically
2) A comedy series

 

[Johnnyallstar]

I would get back into DnD if I could play with hot chicks

 

[Dmartin2010]

I like the juxtaposition of stereotypes we have in this. Here we have these women that are in the sex industry playing a game that is still trumpeted as being for mostly geeks. I mean, come on, that sentence alone contains enough conflicting character types to make it all a pretty cool thing.

 

[Firia]

I don't enjoy how these people roleplay, or how the DM sets things up. Then again, totally not my game, so that's okay by me.

So you're upset because the video didn't meet your false expectations?

Neither the video description nor any of the tags indicated comedy, anybody who went it expecting funny has only themselves to blame. I mean really now, the escapist is not a comedy website. It is a gaming website. The Escapist staff has put out videos that were not comedy before, so this is precedent you set for yourself by intentionally avoiding some of the site's content.

Welcome.. but I won't be watching.

Okay, I had false expectations. Now what? What grounds have you gained in the argument? The video is STILL not interesting/entertaining for me in any way whatsoever. Surely it's not wrong to hope the video would entertain me, even slightly? Like I mentioned before, the video is, intentionally or not a throwback to Italian neo-realist movies. Non professional actors, nothing happens, filmed on location, use of hand cameras - all the elements are there. I hate neo-realist movies.

D&D made more awesome? I don't know who you are, Mr. Sabbath. But in the eyes of this
old table-hand, you have done a great service. I look forward to your future productions.

Ah, nothing does my heart better than to see table top gaming brought out of the shadows.
