Title: Unskippable
Post by: DaveMMR on January 19, 2009, 06:25:40 pm

I don't know if anyone had seen this but it's pretty funny.  Almost like an MST3K (almost) for bad video game cinemas.

Big fan of Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw as well as LoadingReadyRun.com. Thought the Unskippable shows were OK tho. I don't see why they tied for first place tho.

For instance, LLR.com's "intall linux on everything" sketch was awesome, and their "I am not an American" song was great (I was going to post it here on canada day last year, but forgot). But this is not their best work.

Still funny tho.

EDIT: I wasn't saying that Zero Punctuation (Ben Croshaw) was tied with first place (as it IS the MAJOR feature of the escapist) I was saying that I didn't understand how the Unskippable (done by the people at LoadingReadyRun.com) got high marks. It is funny, but not notable to me. They should stick to their skits IMHO.

I pretty much ONLY vist The Escapist for Yahtzee's reviews. Really helps me get through Wednesdays.

Yeah no kidding. Myself and a few of my online friends refer to Wednesday as Yahtzeeday now. I even treat it like a holiday, and wish my online friends a Happy Yahtzeeday!

Happy Yahtzeeday Eve everyone!  ;D

Someone on the board turned me onto him and I watch pretty religiously now.

Yahtzee and two friends made a pilot for a live videogame show to be aired on TV.  It was painfully bad.  He'll have to stay behind the camera, I think.
