i think of it as a slightly humorous experience, nothing special but just something to pass the time in between the Zero Punctuation reviews

The first one was funny but I think they are going to run out of material to make fun of quickly. I am not saying there aren't a lot of bad video game intros, but you need a intro long enough and with enough stupid dialog to do a good MST3000 on.

I think that, compared to most gaming videos out there, these are quite original and funny. I haven't watched today's yet, and last week's was quite weak compared to the EFF one, but even when it's weak it's funny enough for a laugh.

You should make a poll.

Anyways, I personally LOVE it. Brings back funny memories of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Unoriginal jokes sure are funny. Actually wait, they're not and neither is Unskippable.

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.

It's nothing special. Any of us could do it - we're just too lazy...

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

It's between "neutral" and "not bad".

i like its corny-ness. its exactly what i do when i watch things on tv

i really hate the one that is at the end of all the ZP reviews nowadays. i do not find it funny at all, but thats just me.

Not funny, I've seen this type of thing on youtube, basicly a machinima for halo 3 cut scenes.

YES.

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.

It's enjoyable, but it's not as good as some of the other features on the escapist.

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.

of course it owns

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.

I like it
I will also make the MST3K analogy.

It's amusing, not anything spectacular btu I had a couple of good chuckles.

To be honest, Unskippable is like youtube voiceovers. No offense to the guys that made it, because even though there are the odd moments where you find yourself laughing, on the whole it doesn't seem like anything new. And...almost a bit immature. :S

I LOVE it! just kept me laughing through both ones, and the one from the contest was hillarious! :))

reminds me of those movies with funny commentary from the 80s.

just brilliant, love the jokes!

keep these guys here, them and zero punctuation are THE best.

I like it, soon the escapist will control my schedule... Monday Unskippable, Tuesday: The escapist show, Wednesday: ZP, Thursday(every 14 days) Unforgotten realms, Friday: De-rez has been dead for over a month... where the heck are they...

Yes, but i'm concerned that it will run out of long game cutscenes to use.

In my opinion Unskippable is good, but the quality of each episode really depends on the dialogue in the opening credits of the game they have chosen. The pilot episode was by far the best, but thats mostly because they had plenty of time to choose opening credits they could easily mock. Eternal Sonata, on the other hand, was a bad choice, and that really affected the quality of the episode.

Eh, its ok.

its chuckleworthy
