Youtube is filled with better content IMO in terms of sketch show about video games. freddiew comes to my mind as a prime example. Some ideas were good, but few and far in between. However, what kills it is the really poor image and sound quality combined with horrible acting.
EDIT: I might as well give a nice example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_141750&v=NYGlWjIKoY4&feature=iv

Not bad comedy, but it could be a study into madness with just a slight tweak.
If the red ring of death appeared BEFORE the beard guy starts hallucinating then the insanity is caused by the wrist-slitting horror of finding your XBox has terminated. Beard guy goes in for a therapy session and ends up wildly attacking one of these other patients. Full flown psychotic episode ensues in which Beard guy is pursued by a 60 foot laser-eyed schoolgirl.

After about ten seconds I stopped the video to give some serious thought on claims I've heard from others that content on the Escapist is spiralling down the crapper.
Some decent ideas, but I think it was missing something. I think the skits were too long, they needed a faster pace to them. With the hardive full you could have gotten to the punchline almost a minute or so sooner and lost almost nothing. The gears of war one on the other hand just ended. I think it needed a much larger juxtaposition between the actions and the reaction of the boss. Cutting to the guy at the desk was funny, but it undercut the joke. Since we couldn't see the action, and could barely hear anything his comment really didn't seem that absurd.
Didn't laugh once. I don't really understand the show's purpose. Yahtzee criticizes games, EC talks about stuff in games, Lisa has weird lists, Unskippable makes fun out of cinematics, etc., but I don't really grasp the concept of this one. Random game related sketches and parody? I guess.
I don't know. Maybe it improves over time. I'll wait for a few newer episodes and then decide if I want to continue watching it.

Why would anyone buy Kane and Lynch 2, little alone the DLC?
Not sure where this is going, though at least it isn't a bunch of lists.

awesome stuff 
had me giggling all the way through it. And yes i loved limbo kid v nicely done. One suggestion: as you have quite a deep voice, make sure that the sound balance is set right, and that you speak loud enough.. there were just a couple of times i couldnt really hear what you said.

It's hard to blame people for trying that when the worst offender is so successful. Yes, Penny Arcade is basically made of what I call "obvious humor". Most gaming-related webcomics went that path too, which is unfortunate.lynx64 said:
I actually prefer how it was executed here. I didn't find it great and I do prefer jokes that are not obvious, but I thought it was slightly funnier than most gaming webcomics, and it shows the show about games show has some potential in it.
