Don't really like it so far. I'll give it another shot next week. The most likable character was Hickery guy.
Apocalypse Lane: Episode One: Big Pete's Funeral

This also has zero to do with gaming in any shape or form. All I can see it as is the Escapist clutching at straws trying to find a show to call its own. Unforgotten Realms was great when it started, and Unskippable and Zero Punctuation continue to entertain, but most of the other shows are barely watchable. De Rez was just unfunny, and always lived in the shadow of Yahtzee, to the point where they mocked him. Funnily enough, he only returned the favour to those who he deemed worthwhile (LoadingReadyRun blokes). I just think there are some much better more talented individuals on the net who would also stick to the main drive of this site; games.
It was pretty good. Nothing *that* original tbf, but then again most things aren't. There seems to be a lot of "gay" uses as insults, but that could be due to the stupid fun element to it.
Cuddles has promise though. Animation was good too, bringing it to being similar to Family Guy and American Dad.
Although I prefer ZP and Doomsday Arcade, i'll watch this.

Trivun said:Quite funny, judging by the other comments it's like Marmite - you either love it or hate it. Personally I love it, though there are a few bits where I could see why people would hate it instead. Not the best video series I've seen, but still damn good nonetheless, especially for a pilot episode.
I thought it was ok....
I think the first few South Park episodes were not made by a lot more people. I do believe there were about 3-4 voice actors and only two (I think) were making the animations. And it was funnier.Mr. Blond said:
Besides, it doesn't matter how many people make a show, if the show is not funny. Even 100 people and a $100.000.000 budget won't help a COMEDY that isn't funny.
Oh my...
That was pretty horrible, even with the low expectations I came in with. Pretty predictable, and wasn't even slightly funny. I'll probably come back next week to see if it's improved, but I don't expect it will have.
Okay, Escapist, I've watched your cartoon now, stop pestering me with adverts!

So it's good becuase two guys did this, I saw an amazing production by two actors a few years back, it really was amazing, funny and I couldn't tell that it had only two actors. This however, was no where near that that quality, and I don't think it would beright to give credit anyway if there was only two voice actors, it was the scripting that needed changing!Mr. Blond said:
If they needed 8 minutes to get some character development and storyline, then why didn't they?Armitage Shanks said:
Unforgottten Realms did this in the first Season and it turned out excellent (the first series I mean, not the whole thing)
The animation was pritty good, although it seems they purposley didn't show any leg movement, which is probablies very likely.
Some of the characters have potential, and it reminded me of Fallout just a bit, however, I'm failing to see the point of this episode. It wasn't very funny, and even the things you have to look for (A cat with a knife) seem overused in other series'.
So that was my opinion, if you really want this series to be better, you need better scripting including actual funny humour. Also, I think British people would do this better, lol.
I liked it, looks like it could go somewhere good, and for pete's sake, a lot of you are judging negitivly by there first episode? give them a bit of a chance. In my opinion even if its based off of laughs and you don't laugh, its still pure entertainment? i don't see why theres comments like "I wish i could Un-watch that video..", if your watching it in the first place doesn't that mean you have time to waste anyway? Maybe thats just my opinion though.
That I will judge for myself.Jon Etheridge said:
Just out of morbid curiosity, what was the inspiration behind the post-apocalyptic setting?
I like it. Not the greatest thing ever, but give him some slack, it's a pilot, and although I kinda wished they would have used to flesh out the characters a bit more, like why we should care who big pete is or value the input of other characters, the writing is decent enough that I'll watch it every week.
Don't get discouraged!
