I'm curious to whether this will be a good series or not, I've seen many a thing with an amusing random-esque start that just turned to shit later.

My curiosity is piqued though, so I'm hoping for the best.

mmh...looks like they're going for a "red vs blue" -esque banter thing.

color me interested, but not yet enthusiastic.

A 4:00 video of which about 10% is title screen and credits? Maybe a little more could have gone into the actual content. I feel like me and 2 friends could have made this episode in about an hour.

Good stuff! I saw a Jessie Moore in the credits.. Is that the guy from roboawesome.com?

I can't wait to see more meatbag & co. The writing is excellent!

Swing and a miss.

That bored the piss out of me.

I could see what you were trying to do, it just wasn't very funny.

Right, so no punchlines, buildup leading nowhere, basically just pointless unfunny banter. Yeah, not coming back to this one...

Already done better by Red Vs. Blue and anything by Kevin Smith. Sorry guys, not good...yet.

This... is crap. No jokes, no overall punchline, just two guys talking about something random. If this continues, I certainly hope the creators actually put some time into the next episode. Otherwise, it looks like someone had an hour of free time, Fraps, and a bucket load of boredom.

I expect better out of the Escapist.

Yeah, that's not working. Just talking about something strange doesn't make it funny.

I hope there is NO episode 2!
Oh really? Because, you know, it's not like things can improve. That would be preposterous.

It was good, if only for the idea that minecraft could be treated like a real world :) Also tree face

Only funny part was the part right before the credits, IMO. Everything before was boring and everything after killed the face part.

Way I see it, this has a fantastic foundation. A guy and his robot (who should be a bit less human) trying to find their way home in the world of Minecraft.

What you should do is make the comedy more situational/random. That entire conversation, though it has an entertaining preface, was just the same stuff repeated OVER and OVER and OVER. Repetition=/=funny.

This is one of the few shows I've seen you guys put out that I actually like the concept of. I really hope it improves.

Hmm... not terribly impressed. But it took Jim about 5 episodes to prove himself to me. So I'll happily give it a few more episodes.

First thought: Meatbag? WTF is this?
Second thought: A sudden Minecraft series? What is this, Machinima's website?
Third thought: OMG, Awkward Panda studios! I love those guys' work!
Fourth thought: Robot person turning a situation into a hypothetical question? Definitely their work!
Fifth thought: Twist ending? Most definitely their work! It is weird, though...

Not sure. Might be good. It kind of depends on where they take the series from here. I was more intrigued by the concept of "we're never going to get home", than the actualy discussion. I want to know more about these two and why they are never coming home and where they are coming from than I do about their pseudo-philosophical discussions. So if this series does not change one bit from this format (i.e. the two charachters running around discussing things in different locations) it'll be a miss for me personally, but I still do see some potential for growth (i.e. adding a red string about something on a grander scale of their journey while still doing their silly little talks to flesh out the episode).

Anyway, my two cents. Good luck with the show.

Just because you know how to make a video doesn't mean you should. Making an entire video about one joke that didn't even crack a smile to begin with just means it's time to pick it up. I'd call this show a one trick pony but I don't consider playing dead so well a trick, more it's just dying. If there's an episode 2, I won't be watching it.
