I preferred Doomsday Arcade for the blood effects, but this looks to have potential. Perhaps I'll give it a look...

takes some time getting used to
if they turn up the comedy and turn down the action a bit this could be really good

I was really missing something like Doomsday Arcade so this seems like it's gonna be a nice successor. It's funny and has nice action(though it hogged a bit too much of the screen-time).

Also... i saw the tag, but i missed this

I never even heard of this coming to the Escapist before I watched the 1st episode, but I was pleasantly surprised. Keep it coming!

I'm very intrigued to see where this series goes - the actors seem to be likeable characters, the story seems to have just enoughdepth to be of interest, and the setting also has some interest for me. The one suggestion would be to work on the somewhat lackluster fight scenes. Loved the final line, "My point is, I had SEVEN victory points." I laughed heartily.

A seven? He gets to move the bandit!

Don't quite know what to make of it. I liked the little jokes here and there, but I could care less for the action. This wouldn't be a problem normally, but the action took up a lot of time.

I'll keep tuning in though. This seems to have potential.

Thanks for the comments guys! I'm hearing a lot of "make fight scene shorter" and they definitely are shorter in the three episodes after this we have in the can.

Never watched Doomsday arcade. I take it this is a thing I should probably do?
Well it was featured on this website too, that's why you see it mentioned here a lot. I don't think it's too well known outside the Escapist. Basically it was chock-full of video game references with a lot of surreal/dark/random humour. Be sure to check it out though it might not be everyone's cup of tea (I love it though.)

That was good, the ending joke was the cherry on the sundae that was this episode. The fight scenes were pretty cool, realistic with nice dashes of humour.

Yeah this is pretty good, and he can't just flip the game with the other guy having 7VP, that's just bad form.

I enjoyed that. The fight scene was done well, and the soundtrack was excellent.

Also, was that guy a Highlander, or what? He got killed three times. That's whack.
I concur. I'll let the first one slide, but something got badly broken on the second. No way you got up from that, buddy.

What the fuck did I just watch? And why was it cool?
It's reminiscent of Doomsday Arcade... At least, in my opinion it is.

Yes. Yes it is.

Also, great episode. Can't wait to see what the future holds.

At first I was like "what is this, what is happening, is this supposed to be funny or what?" But then I was all like "OMFG LMAO!!!1" A good setup, now let's see where this goes...
