Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 740 Joined: 7 Nov 2006    | Which guy is Micheal Shanks? Also I loved this first episode, I can't wait for the new one... I hope it can be as epic but for some reason I'm scared it wont be. Good luck guys :) |

Paperboy Posts: 31 Joined: 12 Nov 2008    | I have to admit, even thought this is the same as the pilot, it is still way funnier, smarter and better thought out than the other new feature. I'm sorry its just not had to twist somethings words and mock it, hell I bet we all do it when watching TV with our mates. Anyways I'm genuinly looking forward to more of this features videos. Keep it up. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1079 Joined: 23 Oct 2008   | Loved it! The awkward Link moment made me crack up. I also enjoyed the goofy style of it all. |
Paperboy  Posts: 48 Joined: 5 Jan 2009    | Colour me dissapointed it wasnt new content, Im really looking forward to this series :( |
Beat Writer  Posts: 162 Joined: 22 Jun 2008 | I don't even know why but I was definitely laughing, also I was actually impressed with the effects. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1753 Joined: 22 Oct 2008   | Any idea how often these are going to come out? |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 604 Joined: 17 Oct 2007    | pfff let them come! Us gamers will be the best defence the world has. AND WE WILL SET A NEW HIGH SCORE! |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3751 Joined: 29 Dec 2007  | They know it might get awkward so they just ran with it, can't wait for new stuff. |

I believe these are coming out every two weeks. Unfortunately the video guys are out on a road trip doing some filming today so I can't double-check. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1601 Joined: 4 Jul 2008   | Awsome series, I can't wait for the next one. |
Press Junketeer Posts: 484 Joined: 19 Nov 2008 | Random as this may be, but am I the only one that thinks that the Link in this looks like Nick Evans, the Harlequin's fly half? |
Paperboy  Posts: 11 Joined: 11 Dec 2008    | This series looks like it has a lot of promise, to reiterate what has already been said, I can't wait for a new episode! |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3298 Joined: 1 Nov 2007   | I may have seen this before, but its still incredibley funny. Theres just so many great quotes in here. "Can you speak Japanese?!" God, I've got to get that tie. This is now my faviourite thing on the escapist appart from Yahtzee, keep it up. |

Please, not only you Pedro, but ALL OF YOU. DO - NOT - . I repeat DO -NOT- compare EVERYTHING to Zero Punctuation. It's like comparing a windmill to a car. It's uncomfortably energetic. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 887 Joined: 14 May 2008  | "Thank you very much Mr. Roboto." That made me laugh incredibly hard. This is by far the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 768 Joined: 9 Apr 2008 | Not bad. Just have to see if DR is going to be doing any more before this displaces it as my favorite escapist show. Real shame it isn't a new episode and a unlike the other new show, funny. |

BANNED  Posts: 2505 Joined: 19 Aug 2008 | Great episode, I like the name change because I always got the name of the original series wrong. I still think this episode is great, loved the MGS part. Great epsiode. User was banned for: Poll: Round 5 - Field of Four - (1) Turbine vs (1) Nintendo. (Permanent) |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1094 Joined: 11 Oct 2008   | They're not as much a rival for ZP as they are for De-Rez, cause real life and gaming mix are their grounds. Unskippable went ZP's way to humiliate the game from the inside... Might prove to be a good series, but for now I'll wait in the dark corner before I say yay or nay. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 209 Joined: 3 Jan 2008 | Ok is his tie real or not? I can't figure it out. |

It was in response to the "best Escapist Webseries Ever" line, I just had this sort of "Don't pretend you can unseat ZP, it is folly" thought in my head. It escaped and spewed itself onto the forum. |
Muckraker  Posts: 262 Joined: 27 Jan 2008 | Brilliant, You guys give Unskippable and ZP a run for their money. Keep it up, contenders! |
Beat Writer  Posts: 131 Joined: 3 Nov 2008   | I had hoped for a double feature (Pilot+ first new episode) but ok. I'm curious about the next episodes. and hooray for your replacement script. [/sarcasm] |

That was my favorite part as well, except for that one line "Hey, just what you've always wanted: a Solid Snake at your back door!"
It's real, its designed to look 8-bit I really like this, though not as much as Unskippable. Best of luck! Also, can someone clarify this line for me? "Don't you think you're (something I couldn't make out)?" |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1105 Joined: 9 Mar 2008  | The game character actors really aren't doing it for me. But the two weirdos under attack are very funny. Love that Python-esque inexplicable surreality. I'll put up with the goofy costumes and mediocre premise just for that. KUtGW |

We'd considered either starting up the series with a new installment, like we did with Unskippable, or holding off re-releasing the pilot and doing a 2-for-1 deal. Ultimately we decided this series needs the set-up of the pilot to make sense, that some folks may not have seen the original at the Film Festival, and a two week delay putting out the second episode would help more than it hurt. We're confident Episode Two will be worth the wait, so please stay tuned for a couple of weeks! In the mean time, we have yet another new series, There Will be Brawl, premiering tomorrow afternoon, and Unskippable, The Escapist Show, Zero Punctuation, Unforgotten Realms and de-rez will return next week. So maybe the waiting won't be so dull. ;) |
