Unskippable just reminds me of Mystery Science Theater, and how awesome it was.
Then I remember Unskippable isn't nearly as good.

I didn't like the eternal sonata one. Loved the dead rising one tho.

Yes, I believe their motto is "Making fun of games so you don't have to". Kind of the point really.

I like the concept of Unskippable (replacing dialogue of current game cut scenes with humorous content) which is a clever approach to parody using machinma concepts.

The execution is not up to snuff in my opinion, the fact that whatshisface acknowledged that point in his eternal sonata piece makes me believe that this is a fairly universal conclusion. Maybe it will improve, but I doubt I'll ever watch another episode, another thing that admission in the last show did was convince me he has no intention of trying to improve his acting / orating at all.

If you're not prepared to respect your audience or your work, you can have it, but I'm not watching it.

Seems liked enough by everyone else though, got enough responses to his last show. I might point out that there is also a place in the featured content forum to put comments like this. I've seen at least one other very similar thread get locked.

Compared to the other stuff on the escapist (Zero Punctuation, Unforgotten Realms) it is much lower in quality and more about making fun of stupid things than wit. I want to see more of Doomsday Arcade. That has a great way of both subtly and un-subtly (is that even a word?) making gaming related humor and it reminds me a lot of one of my favourite Flash series Decline Of Video Gaming.

I like it. Possibly because it's the same sort of thing that I do on my second time through a game. But I could've just said that on the comments page where this stuff really belongs.

I don't like it, the jokes are often obvious and somewhat contrived.

I really dislike it to be honest. It's too straight forward and there are hundreds of better videos doing the same thing on YouTube. I would like it a lot more if the guys didn't sound so constantly depressed and if there was a little emotion behind the lines (excluding depression (unless it's necessary)).

it's snarky. just like that space-theathre 3000 thingy, just people making snarky remarks over the movie(game). It's okay but the games they have picked so far don't appeal to me, so it kinda lessed the funny.

At least with zp he makes bad games or games i don't like funny.

sorry guys just the way I feel.

I found myself laugthing out loud at every joke in the dead rising one. The other two were pretty good too.
