... Please bring back Gamedogs.

Rerun Lisa Foiles' Top 5's, and I will watch them. For science.

I know she has her own YT channel, but it's not quite the same [because it's not a gaming channel].

Notwithstanding the fact that none of these old series were ever actually removed from the site, you just hid them in such a way that you could only find them if you knew what they were called and specifically searched for them. I was always puzzled by that, and wondered why you sat on these golden oldies for so long given that the site has been in a massive content dry spell for so long.

... Please bring back Gamedogs.

Furries need not apply.

 

[Eric the Orange]

"bring back"? Did they ever leave? I mean they were buried but they still existed. Bringing back implies new content, not just re-posts of old content.

Honestly all this really does for me is remind me when the escapist had more content than ZP.

 

[rosac]

fuck the haterz gimme all your stuff back. Doomsday arcade!

 

[Sassafrass]

...A staff member. They do exist...

But hopefully this is a start of at least maybe hopefully hinting that new stuff is on the way?
Please?
Pretty please?

Sooo.... can I just ask why this topic exists?

Is The Escapist so starved for content that they are literally advertising things that they have already produced in the past?
Is this the internet equivalent of re-runs on TV?

Or are you making this topic because you have commissioned more of this?
Or is this just a reminder that this show once existed?
Are you releasing new episodes?
The topic was unclear on that regard.

 

[Kajin]

I'd hoped they'd commissioned more of them, but not only does The Escapist not have two nickels to rub together, Apocalypse Lane came to a pretty definite conclusion. There's not much room to add to it.

What are you doing?!

Those were meant to be for a later update, and you ruined it!

Edit: Just watched the episode. I think this one was better left buried.

I'm just there for Kevin.

Yes. Pretty much that. But hey, on the other hand a lot of the content we keep asking them to do again is being done again so thats something

 

[Dr. Crawver]

Ok, I can live with you guys highlighting some old content, but why apocalypse lane? Was anyone fondly remembering that one? Considering doomsday arcade existed, seems like a poor choice.

But actually if you guys started to upload your stuff onto your youtube channel, which is definitely growing due to yahtzee, that could work out well probably.

 

[chocolate pickles]

This site has gone down the toilet so badly, it's advertising content it's had for years?

This is pitiful.

 

[bluegate]

I'd hoped they'd commissioned more of them, but not only does The Escapist not have two nickels to rub together, Apocalypse Lane came to a pretty definite conclusion. There's not much room to add to it.

That's the brilliant part of it though, they can re-run it and when a new audience asks for more The Escapist can just hide behind that definite conclusion, not having to worry about having to continue the series.

 

[IceForce]

The hell? As if rehashing old 'Top 8' galleries wasn't enough, now you're digging up and re-posting old video content as well?

I feel like I'm being given a guided tour of a museum, - a museum that's old and crumbling and smells of urine.

 

[Chaosian]

fuck the haterz gimme all your stuff back. Doomsday arcade!

My African American, Doomsay Arcade was the best!

My evil exists for this reason. I shall ruin all updates as all the old content is still on site.
