It's hilarious to me that not even a few miles from our office there's a wasteland near a nuclear power plant. The Future is Now.

Yeah, it's about a 30 minute drive from here. You can go out, get irradiated, and be back in time for lunch. I know this is possible because I did it. *glow*

 

[John Funk]

I *thought* you and the video guys seemed particularly bright-eyed this past week, Russ.

Great work.

Russ's bit : I don't think you mentioned the Escapist enough.

Fallout 3 : Dammit. Stop making me want this game.

ZP : That is an astounding idea Yahtzee, I'd back the Genius game all the way.

Office Level Up : Good, but you didn't show the evil xp draining customers.

That camera man is the smartest person I know, now lets go back a few years and have that video shot right before the Chernobyl incident.

Russ's bit : I don't think you mentioned the Escapist enough.

I think if he tries hard he can get 4-5 more escapists into a sentence.

 

[Jursa]

Kept me nailed to the screen from start to finish. Great video.

 

[Bling Cat]

I look forward to more of these. Also, I HATE YOU PEOPLE! YOU GOT FALLOUT 3 TODAY AND THE UK HAS TO WAIT UNTIL HALLOWEEN!

That is all.

 

[TsunamiWombat]

This sounds like it's worth a view, but I got to sprint off to work and bag folks groceries. I'll check out your video in a few hours.

PS: I PROBABLY wouldn't be watching this if not for Fallout 3, you should feature more popular new releases in your video's. Shameless pandering for the victory!

 

[Archon]

Well, don't forget, there's a Zero Punctuation preview in there, too!

 

[Omnidum]

Damn you all. Now I want that game even more. Also, what a great show.

 

[oldmanscene24]

Excellent video, guys. It seems it is possible for me to want to play Fallout 3 more.

 

[milomalo]

great show the level up bit was great also this is one of your best videos Russ, dont let the camera man escape!!

 

[Lvl 64 Klutz]

Awesome guys. Anyone else think the Bethesda dude sounds like Steve Carrell?

Also, let's hope Square Enix doesn't sue for using Luca's Theme without attribution... those guys are insane sticklers about their IP

 

[ReverseEngineered]

Good Fallout 3 interview. It was actually informative to hear why VATS was implemented the way it was and what their expectations were for people using it vs. real-time FPS.

The Office Level Up skit was great! I saw the whole "good sales pitch leads to leveling up" schtik coming, but the distribution of points and gaining of a minion made me laugh out loud. Excellent work.

The intro seemed a little slow and forced, but other than that, I enjoyed watching this.

 

[Zanial]

Great job Barry.

The level up part was particularly enjoyable. If you say "Level Up" in the same voice as "Power Up" from Altered Beast, it gets funnier.
