Hey, another one of these threads. User does not know how to use search button.
As for game damage, Enough with the Yahtzee fanboyism everyone, his participation in the program was not really better than any of the others. His attempt to maintain his ZP character outside of ZP is half hearted and reads horribly. Charming in his cynicism a la ZP is one thing, an irritating pre-suicidal git (that's the term, yes?) is quite another.
I appreciated the editorial on adventure games, but the skits I could have done without, they were overdone, one sequence of Master Chief walking around serves the episode as well as the three or four that were included. By the end of the episode I had wished they didn't do any of the Duke Nukem sketches (again, one would have sufficed in making the joke)
Firstly, Game Damage is very Australian, it has that sort of feel to it, but it also seems torn in what it wants to be, review show / variety show / game news show / user engaged show... whatever. It needs to decide on that first, and then it needs a proper structure. The couch thing would be a better stand alone or program book end, there was enough interview and editorial content to structure the skits into act breaks making the show more fluid and understandable.
In the end, it was a pilot. It wasn't a horrible pilot (though it could have been better) and pilots always improve. It's a viable series, and if they keep on working with it it will get better. I'd just be happy if they lost the skits.
