Man the escapist site is hopeless, can never get onto it when the videos are uploaded... is it just me or does the site get hopelessly overloaded?


I get this. Very rarely loads for me.

I never liked Oblivion myself. Was far too much of a chore. They should have remade Morrowind instead


I enjoyed it for about 12 hours then suddenly I was over it and never touched it again.

nah I don't, just had fun with BF2 back in the days. He nailed the stereotypes but what does this mean? he's going to start reviewing books and movies as well? I reckon he should stick to games.

I think you missed the point it was a parody on people that write comics about games, nothing to do with BF2?

Have you seen Penny Arcade? AFAIK this is the original comic that took the piss out of things gaming, now there are a lot of comics that do the same but they're not really funny.

You say he nailed the stereo types, but he's taking the piss out of people who nail the stereotypes.

That's what I got from it anyway. Each to their own :)

Loved this video. He's already taken a stab at Webcomics(i.e Player vs Player) in a previous video. The ratio of good webcomics(like "The Order Of The Stick") to bad webcomics("The Noob") is massively skewed towards the bad end. Making fun of them probably does more harm then good since people will look up what is bad, announce that it is bad, email the maker about how bad it is and artificially inflate the creators aura of self-importance as they gleefully dispense bile at any genuine criticisms of their poor, poor attempts at humour.


HOWEVER

This kind of video isnt what people wait a week to watch. Its like the filler he despises so much in video games. Then again if you have the power to command peoples attention for 4 mins every week it might be a good idea to be a self-indulgent arse once in a while


.......maybe I should get in on this action

Edit: I liked the use of the word 'Shillelagh' too
