Show About Games Show: Snake & The Dark

[JoshTheater]

This episode really cemented my viewership of your show. I liked your style from the beginning and enjoyed the first few episodes enough, but this episode won me over. I'll be watching you as long as you're on The Escapist.

Honestly, I think that the concept behind Darkest Day Ever could actually work if a developer implemented it well. I'd add in a light source the player could use, though. Nothing like a flashlight. More along the lines of a candle, where it'll run out eventually, and isn't very bright or far-reaching. Maybe there could be hidden breaker boxes (like, achievement/trophy-worthy kind of hidden) that might light up parts of certain areas.

I think you just basically described Amnesia: The Dark Descent, if you replace carryable candle with lamp that runs out of oil, and breaker boxees with tinderboxes used to light candles on the wall. I think this sketch was actually somewhat poking fun at Amnesia, along with other survival horror games.

As usual, there are some great ideas here but they're poorly executed. Each of the sketches this week had an absolutely brilliant concept behind it but didn't come close to using the full potential of the idea. There were a few laughs, particularly the hopscotch sketch which was unexpected, but you could do so much better! It saddens me that this show is missing out on what could be something exceptional. As it is, it's very hit and miss. An idea for a sketch isn't enough on its own, you need to follow it through. I seriously think that a bit more effort on the writing would go a long way here, or possibly the editing (not sure quite what it is but it's a bit off). No complaints about the acting either, the Snake impersonation was rather good and you clearly put some time into making that cardboard set. Just keep working at it, I know there's some comedy gold in here somewhere.

You folks certainly can make a set.

[Nincompoop]

I like this show x).
[small]The cast is hot too.[/small]

 

[leviadragon99]

What, no PC release of Darkest day eve I'm insulted...

 

[Moon_Called]

That was beautiful. The amount of work you must have done to put that set together is just amazing.

I'd play Darkest Day Ever, but only if I didn't have to pay for it. If the audio for that game was done well enough, it'd actually be pretty interesting.

Am I the only person thinking the hopscotch skit would have been even funnier as a minesweeper parody?...
Think about it.

 

[Noseman26]

Good episode altogether. The box house wasn't as impressive as the LBP rig, but was still awesome.

 

[Weaver]

I quite liked this episode. Down with the naysayers!

 

[WILIZIN]

As usual you guys to me had one really good skit (The first) and one so so ( The last) I do like how you guys have done some pretty funny stuff and it feels like fresh ideas on old jokes, so keep up the good work. ^^

 

[MowDownJoe]

So... Snake is a very resourceful hobo?

 

[Reverend Del]

Am I the only person thinking the hopscotch skit would have been even funnier as a minesweeper parody?...
Think about it.

"One, Two, Three, Boom!" Laughing just thinking about it.

Enjoyed this one, and the invisible block had me rolling. If only because I remember them so very dearly...

 

[Jackpot524]

You guys clearly put a lot of effort into your props and graphics, it is appreciated!

How long do it take to make the box fortress?

 

[Yvl9921]

So far every one the show's best jokes has been about DLC.

 

[rddj623]

I always wondered what the view from the box was like. Mystery solved.

I thought every bit in this episode was great!!! Keep up the good work, I know I'll be tuning in every week.

This show is pretty good although it still seems mixed judging from the comments. Oh well that's comedy!
