How did they even play You're in the Movies without vomiting blood?

Edit, forgot to say, was that Russ that went that high pitch? I couldn't go that high unless I was kicked in the nuts!

Wow, "Your in the Movies" looked amazingly bad. I was also amused by the fact that Susan apparently doesn't show up on the camera, does she posess some sort of cloaking abilities?

She's in several shots, and Russ even introduces her at one point.

I, however, managed to hide in the background and not drunkenly sing! There's a few camera pans that show most everyone though.

Edit: Yeah, I heard from a few people about playing In the Movies earlier in the day and it was a fairly terrible gaming experience. However, if the camera actually worked for it, it might even be fun at some point.

Apple juice? Only if apples are 60% proof.

 

[Susan Arendt]

To be fair, You're In the Movies doesn't always work that poorly. We tested it here in the office, and the integration of the player into the movie trailer was perfect. The lighting at the party wasn't particularly conducive to good filming, though...which is unfortunate, given that your average party isn't that well-lit, and it's a party game.

Also, I mad sneak fu. Catching me on camera is pretty tricky.

 

[John Funk]

A-ha is catchy.

I make no excuses.

The Escapist had a New Year's Eve party? Actually, I was wondering, do you guys have an office somewhere? I presume you do, but then what do I know?

 

[Jursa]

Happy new year! Well a little late... but still...

 

[Russ Pitts]

Russ has quite the high pitched singing voice doesn't he

I was raised on the BeeGees.

 

[Shamus Young]

Happy New Year, guys. Looks like you had something approximating fun.

No, then it would be Eyetoy.

Wow, do you ever take a break Dingo? Ever?

 

[Say Anything]

I thought the party stuff was very funny (haha, what's Russ' hosting level?), but the Doom video totally bored me. It was funny seeing random floating parts of you guys during "You're in the Movies".

 

[Susan Arendt]

Like I said earlier, the camera isn't always that bad. However, I will also say that while watching the B-movie trailer at the end is a hoot, the games and posing you have to endure to get to it is an utter chore. The games aren't fun - maybe good for an embarrassed giggle or two, but that's about it. You don't play them so much as put up with them. If you really want your party guests to have fun, go with Lips or SingStar.

 

[Damien the Pigeon]

I enjoyed the show! And now I know never to buy "You're in the Movies"! Thank you very much!

I was raised on the BeeGees.

Barry Gibb for the win.

A-ha is catchy.

I make no excuses.

I agree. Look up "Take On Me literal version."
