50 seconds in and I felt my life draining away. Please stop this.

I keep hoping VGT will improve. I'll probably keep watching it in spite of the fact that every episode so far has been fail. I mean, was this supposed to be funny? If we can't have funny, can we at least have cool?

 

[HobbesMkii]

The irony here is that people were looking forward to this Q-Bert episode. Ouch.
Also, I had, to this point, believed that when someone was featured in any form of entertainment, they were usually on for more than 30 seconds (and hopefully, delivered a line, or two). I recognize that your episode is like, 4 minutes long and thus even 1/2 of a minute represents a significant chunk, but Agee as a user didn't add humor or propel the storyline further. I'm guessing they paid you in advance and have to put up whatever is produced to get some return on their money.

I don't get what people hate about this series so much, It was good up until the space invaders one. This one had promise, but it just went on and on and nothing happened.

I actualy liked the end, even if the phoney trailer is hardly a original joke it was well executed.

Unfortunately the rest of the episode didn't make any sense to me, but it had charm.

That was it?

That was disappointing

VGT needs to roll over and die so Kung Fu Grip can finally be recognized as the greatest of parodies

 

[Goenitz]

I don't get it... its suppose to be entertaining right?

 

[nathan-dts]

Kung Fu Grip only became exceptable in the Final Fantasy episode.

My fav videos on the escapist are:
1st Place: Tie between Unforgotten Realms & Zero Punctuation
3rd Place: Tie between De-rez & Kung Fu Grip
5th Place: Video Game Theater
6th Place: Drawn By Pain

Addiction jokes weren't funny the first time, and they aren't funny now.

 

[TheTygerfire]

Jesus, I haven't even watched this time and already more crack addict "jokes"?

Pac-man used twice
crack used twice
Pac-man AND crack used in the first episode.
Four episodes in and we've reused characters AND plots. Star Trek doesn't even rehash plots this much.

 

[sammyfreak]

Hey guys, quit the hate, spread the love. If you are gonna say something bad about it, make it more constructive then a plea for it to be removed. You don't "have" to watch it afterall...Or do you?

 

[sirdanrhodes]

Hang on, is it me, or has this taken de-rez's slot, if so, DEATH TO VGT!!!

 

[KenzS]

??? I don't get this show at all. Maybe its just not my humor. Are you guys on anything when you make this stuff?

 

[Nadsat]

I think "Emmy-nominated Steve Agee" should be ashamed of himself

 

[Goenitz]

This better not have taken De-rez's slot. De-rez was gold compared to this.

 

[Gahars]

After Kung-Fu Grip managed to surprise me, I promised I would give VGT one more chance.

That was a mistake.

Look, I could go on about the series faults (mainly its lack of humor), but I'd just be repeating myself.

So it sucked, par for this series.
