Poll: Game Dogs Poll: Are you still watching it?

[Zepren]

I gave up on it ages ago.

Bad place for this post to be, right underneath Furburts attempted punch-of-life for it but still.

I've given up on it and that thingy and associates bake cakes or whatever it's called. Gave em both a chance. Now i'm just gonna boost the hyped for DA.

EPISODE 24 SOON! I CAN'T WAIT! I JUST JIZZED A LIL!

 

[Slaanax]

I watched the first episode and I don't think I laughed once. I tried the latest episode, I was actually some what put off by it because, being a dude I enjoy playing healing classes in games.

 

[Athlumney]

I'm still watching it. It's ok but not great but then again so was Apocalypse lane to begin with.

 

[Dahni]

I've been watching it if only to see if it gets any better but to be honest, I don't like it. Its humour is so paper thin and lacking in whatever it is that makes pretty much everything else on the Escapist hilarious.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

I've watched every episode, hoping that it'd eventually get better. I can safely say that the series is one of the least funny steaming piles of crap I've ever seen.

When you're making Tim and Eric look moderately talented, you're doing something horribly wrong.

 

[Legion]

It's not like they are paying for it, or even being forced to watch it so the comments are not necessary and if anything are just a pointless insult to someone who had put effort into creating something.

You think criticism is an insult. Your opinion is invalid.


People voicing their opinion about the last 5 episodes do so because they do not like those individual episodes which in turn makes them hate the show and they have every right and reason to voice their opinion. Criticism is helping this show more than you fucking about saying criticism is an insult does.

Criticism helps the creators improve on the concept. Saying that the show is not funny will alert the producer that the comedy show he's producing is genuinely disliked due to it not being humorous. This will make the producer force the writers to do a better job or replace them completely.

If the producer of this show does't give a flying fuck about genuinely improving his show the he can say so.

You clearly don't understand the meaning of the word criticism.

"This show sucks and is not funny." Is an insult.

"The show is not funny because ..., it could be improved by ..." is criticism.

If you don't say how something can be improved then you are just mindlessly being rude, saying something isn't funny without explaining why is not going to help them improve it.

The again, judging by your first sentence I can't really expect a mature response out of you so I don't know why I'm bothering.

*snip*

True, but look two posts above yours at Furburt's reply, that's the kind of thing we mean when we say people need to actually say what's wrong rather than just saying they hate it.

Russ can actually get some feedback from it.

Exactly, Considering there are a lot of type of humour out there, without explaining what joke isn't funny and why they aren't going to have an idea of what's wrong.

Snip

But a lot of people say that the show is not funny. The criticism of an entire community matters giving that they're the ones watching the show.

"It's not funny" implies that the show is not funny and the suggestion is pretty obvious: "step up the humor".

What kind of humour? Fart jokes? Dark humour? Twisted humour? Dry/Ironic humour, Toilet jokes? Slapstick? Everyone finds different things funny, without saying what jokes you don't like and why how the hell is he supposed to improve it? Trial and error? I can really see everyone appreciating that when the style changes every week.

 

[Soxafloppin]

Ive never watched it, mainly because ive seen allot of people bashing it on here.

 

[Magnalian]

Still watching it, casually, but not enjoying it much. The jokes seem a bit... meh-worthy. Good thing we got Loading Ready Run.

I was gonna say something, but whatever I type will be similiar to this anyway, so... yeah. I can'\t figure out why I'm still watching.

 

[oppp7]

It's not that bad. At least it updates, unlike several other series' I could mention... (Pure Pwnage, Homestar Runner).

 

[SmartIdiot]

No. How people can find it funny is beyond me, but there you go.

 

[BonsaiK]

I just saw the latest one (i've only seen the first, second, and sixth episode now) and it doesn't seem to have improved, much to my dismay. So tell me, who out there is still watching and enjoying it?

I gave it a chance. When the pilot appeared I said I didn't find it funny at all, I thought the humour was poorly written, with a basic lack of understanding about how character humour works in cartoons. However I also said I'd watch four episodes to see if improved. I did exactly that. It did not improve (mind you, it didn't get any worse either). Therefore I don't watch it anymore.

If people enjoy it, that's nice, and if the people who make it want to continue to make it that's fine too. I sincerely wish them the best of luck. However I shall not be watching, because every time I click on a Game Dogs video I'm potentially sending a message to the creators that I like watching it, and I do not want to send that message, as it would not be a true reflection of how I feel about Game Dogs.

 

[Christemo]

didnt even bother watching the first episode after i saw the feedback.

only Unskippable, Yahtzee and ENN can satisfy my need for jokes. sadly Unforgotten Realms stopped :´(.

 

[AnneSQF]

I watch it, but I rarely find it funny and I never laugh.

 

[Epitome]

I watch every episode once, but sofar a resounding Meh is my opinion. I love Doraleus & Associates though its awesome Apocolypse lane is the best after ZP by a mile and a half but Game Dogs... meh

 

[Tiroe]

It's not very funny, but I still give it a chance. I mean, it's not horrible, and the story got me a little bit curious about how their game is going to turn out. For me, it's in the middle between the thursday's shows, Apocalypse Lane, which I can't stand, and Doraleus, which actually makes me laugh.

And what does *snip* mean?

Edit: thanks JEBWrench!

 

[JEBWrench]

And what does *snip* mean?

It means that you've removed some excess chaff from the original post in order to focus on one aspect.

 

[orangebandguy]

Honestly, it's repetitive and boring. So I don't enjoy watching it but I did anyway because it might improve.


I got sick of hearing 'Are you insane?' or 'Fired FIRED!'

Maybe De Rez could come back and replace it? please PLEASE!

 

[Nifty]

Gamedogs is just too....'Joey'. Time to take Old Yeller out back and shoot it.

Saying that though, I think most of the little series' The Escapist does aren't funny and only watch, predictably, ZP and occasionally Unskippable.

And Rebecca Mayes Muses, but that's only because I fancy her.
