My favorite part of this episode was the I-Ninja clip they played in the Double Jump skit. Love to see that game getting some love.

This was one of the better episodes imo. I mean, there have been better sketches but I liked all 3 sections of this episode so, looking at the whole package, this one fares quite well. The ridiculousness of the first sketch, the sight gags in the third sketch and the second sketch was a sort of "guess the punchline" game. There's still improvements needed but I laughed enough times to warrant the 5 minutes of my life that it took to watch this. I more or less like this show and that's why it hurts me when it falls flat. Keep trying guys, there's some good stuff in here but you just need to identify what's actually good and what's holding you back.
Double jumps really have become a default for most games today. From the top off my head i can't really think of any games that only let you do a single jump, as i can think of it's no jumping at all(Zelda), or it's a double jump(pretty much anything), maybe even more.
As for the show itself i didn't really appreciate the Dragon Age thing, but i did like the Scribblenauts and Analyzing the Obvious ones.

All three parts this time had their moment: Got excited on the Nurf DND Opening, liked the Scribblenauts Middle Part, and lol'd at the Over analyzing the Obvious End. Good work!
Common Sense? What is that? HEHE!! Sometimes I feel this is the norm in the world today.
Also, "No, there is no party." "Was that a double negative?" I was beaming there.

The episode gave me some chuckles. It was enjoyable and an improvement from the last episode.
Yet you still are not there, this has quite alot of potential but you will just need to spend a bit more time on writing and improving the quality of acting. Still, I can see this series getting somewhere!

See, this is the thing. I don't like LRR. I enjoy ENN, but I don't like Unskippable or the LRR sketches. I never enjoyed Doraleous and Associates or Gamedogs either, but enough people enjoyed them for them to continue on this site for some time.JoelChenFA said:
I enjoy this show though. It's not laugh out loud humour, but there's usually enough to make me smile.
Humour is subjective. Just because someone personally didn't enjoy something doesn't mean it needs improvement or changing. It just means it wasn't made for that person. Maybe they'll enjoy the next one. Or if not, then maybe they should watch something else.
I find this show a little corny ... but I also like it a lot. I particularly like the "Overanalyzing the Obvious" segment. The tone is just perfect.
There have been a lot of comments on how you guys should just focus on shorts. While I agree that they are your strong suit, I don't think you should leave out longer skits if that's what you want to do. Just because it's one of the weaker points of your show it doesn't mean that you have to omit them completely from your writing process.
Watching your longer skits, It seems as if you have multiple people influencing your overall writing of them. This is not necessarily a bad thing. The reason why I think that is because they seem very random as far as the jokes are concerned. Keep in mind that when you are writing a longer skit the idea is the same as with your shorter skits. You want to focus on the punch line and everything that is said (or done) should build up to the best joke that you can come up with for that scene. Random quips can be effective to keep the momentum of your comedy moving until your punchline, but they have to do with the overall theme of your skit for any one to get it (or carry your skit until your next joke).
I hope I'm not being a dick here. I'm just trying to be constructive with this post. oh yeah, if you want to emulate an action sequence using nerf guns you can do it, but if you want to do it effectively you'll want to make sure that your protagonist doesn't get shot with them. Think of it this way, how many action movies have you seen where the protagonist gets hit with an arrow three times before they before they kill someone with a sword? I wouldn't be so critical if this was youtube, but you guys kind of beat out other people's submissions to be featured on The Escapist.

I liked the first one best, maybe just because the knowing ridiculousness of everything was perfect for my sense of humour I thought the actual technical timing was above normal for that one too. Particularly liked how the guy was excluded in the last shot and then the camera moved to make the punchline. Maybe the acting wasn't quite so brilliant but self-aware comedy is the hardest of all comedy and even professional actors often dodn't do it well
