What was/is, in your opinion, the worst show on the Escapist?

[Normalgamer]

I'm sure all of us feel The Escapist is a great website, with plenty of information, as well as entertainment. I personally visit The Escapist daily, and mean this thread to not insult the website as a whole in any way. But with as much content as this site has, some are going to end up being duds. So Escapists, which show that the Escapist has hosted is in your opinion, the worst in quality overall? Let's be polite, and just say what we felt the show lacked, constructive criticism.

I personally felt Game Dogs ended in a really unsatisfactory way, and was generally hit-or-miss episode-wise. Earning it in my eyes, the worst show to have been on The Escapist.

Jimquisition had a really poor opening, I think. Right now, it very well could be the worst.

ya that new jim guy is kind of annoying. im also not fond of the stolen pixels comic because every one is just the author whining about this and that

Y U no make people feel good?

They can feel good by not getting mentioned often in this thread. You gotta think outside the box sometimes.

Game Dogs and I Hit it With My Axe.

Plus what the guys above are saying about Jimquisition. Not really liking him.

Personally I think Rebecca Mayes Muses got really dull after a while too...

Of ones I atleast watched once, Drawn by Pain and There Will Be Brawl. Hated them.

If you're going to make a thread like this, I strongly suggest asking for constructive criticism from the posters.

Seconded. He seems to be going after the subject matter of Moviebob or Extra Credits with the edge of Zero Punctuation, and it just fell flat. At least Moviebob and Yahtzee have reasons behind their rants and negativity, and justify it for the audience. This guy just seemed to be pissed for the sake of being pissed, and to me came off as a douche.

Maybe he'll improve once he settles in, but for now I feel like we've got enough opinion/rant shows here on the Escapist and he's just a fifth wheel.

Jimquisition was terrible. We'll see if it gets better. Can't hardly get worse.
Also, I'm kinda ambivalent about daily drop. I dearly love the LRR crew, but I find that particular series to be hit or miss.

agree jimquistion was prety bad

 

[Gentleman_Reptile]

Jimquisition without question. The guy is obnoxious without being endearing or interesting.

Oh but I did!

Game Dogs and I Hit it With My Axe.

Yep, those two. I won't say anything about Jimquisition yet, that still has a chance to improve. Although I doubt it.

Jimquisition didn't impress me or anyone from what I can see in this thread. My first impressions is this dude is a lazy douche, he couldn't even be bothered editing out a mistake.

 

[BreakfastMan]

I dunno, Muses was pretty bleh. I Hit it With My Axe was pretty dull. A Good Knights Quest was unfunny as well. Game Dogs only had one funny episode. For every good show, there has usually been one "meh" show to accompany it.

Jimquisition seems like it could be good, but it's debut was not a good first impression.

That being said: Daily Drop. It was cute at first, and there are some episodes that warrant my attention enough to actually watch, but over all: what's the point? It's dropping stuff. In slow motion.

Third-ed.....-ed or whatever you say,Swearing a bunch to prove your point is not funny. Also the show was just not entertaining to watch, and at least Zero Punctuation when he swears he does it right.

Game Dogs always felt like a sitcom that forgot the jokes. I'm not entirely certain I ever got where the unique premise was. So they are dogs that make games. It needed the hand of some better writing.
I am also not partial to Jimquisition right now. I will give it more time, but that first episode lacked the charm of other people on the Escapist who also have high-minded ideas for gaming. It was him yelling at us for four minutes about how people are idiots.
Lastly, I am not too keen on Top 5. The first episode really annoyed me because it felt like it was trying to sell itself on watching a hot awkward female gamer. It got better later but I see little value in top X lists from anyone. Any list talking about best anything of substance is going to force me to ask how you objectively define one thing as better than the other. Anything without value, like top 5 coolest glasses, and I am just going to ask why you care. I am sort of at a detente with it. It does nothing to offend so I don't get annoyed with a weekly top 5 list.
