Blink button is ... madness. How the hell did that get past?!

Next thing will be use your right stick to use tongue and left stick for mouth - combined you can make sounds that sound like words!

Great episode anyways, loved all of it.

Graham and Paul take a quick look at Alone in the Dark. Don't blink - you might miss it.

It won't even play for me. This has happened multiple times to me recently: videos from The Escapist simply won't load. They just sit there with that little circle thing spinning around in the center of the image and nothing happens. But if I come back tomorrow morning, it will probably work fine.

I checked all the help stuff, and it's not a flaw on my end. Since you people can view it, it doesn't seem to be a flaw on The Escapists' end... So somewhere in the middle, something is unstable and refuses to load something that is attmepting to start right after I click on the video to play it. Personally, I'm going to blame this on those annoying pre-video video ad things someone keeps shoving in front of everything.

Holy crap, I will never again ignore an "authorized personnel only" sign! I'll make triply sure that I'm authorized!

...and seriously. A blink button. That's just... WTF, right there. Pure essence of WTF. Now I'm just waiting for a game to tell me to hold the L1 and R1 buttons to blow my nose.

You forgot to mention that the bumper/L2 and R2 buttons make you wiggle your fingers and clicking the left stick makes you fart.

Great episode, guys.

This game is proof of why blinking is bad. We should have something that blinks for us like..like... Eyeballwiper it's like a windshield wiper but for your eyes. So screw flying cars,Screw the cure for AIDS,screw the robots. Just give me my Eyeballwiper and I'll be happy.

Not the best one, though I did like the Paddington joke.

Finally worked after retrying it 50 times...

the clip's volume seems to be a bit low
Yeah, I had to have Graham and Paul practically shouting at me to hear what the characters were saying.

Who the hell thought having a button to control BLINKING was a good idea? PLEASE tell me you don't really have to do that the whole game.

good but it seems like there running out of mockable cutscences
I'm not sure why people keep saying this. Is it because they're now using multiple cutscenes for some episodes and occasionally putting some gameplay sequences in? Either way, this was a great episode, and there will almost never be a complete lack of bad cutscenes in games. It's just not possible.

Wow, on the other hand, you could be totally immune to the Weeping Angels' attack by just never pressing the button.

(You win geek points if you have any clue as to what I'm talking about.)
(Doctor Who Fan Detector Blinks Rapidly) That was a good episode.

You know you're in for a bad time when the game not only has a blink button but makes you keep pressing it!

You have to push the blink button throughout the rest of the game? That's like playing game with nothing but quick time events, they're only boring ones.

The worst thing - it's true. THERE IS A BLINK BUTTON. And you have to blink if you stare at one spot for too long, even after the cutscene.

Nice video.
*blinks as an involuntary reaction to something so hideously stupid*

*sigh*

I do not know how a game designer could become so desperate to include a 'new' and 'innovative' feature. I HOPE that they included that on the features list of the box, so anyone quick enough to see that you have to BLINK would know not to buy the game.

No but you can do it anyway to see cracks in a wall or something. I saw it played. Unimpressed
