There are trailers/promotions, and then there are cockteases. This, my friends, is a cocktease. It's like watching Mythbusters without ever seeing them actually perform the myth. Just the build-up then BAM, commercial >:I

I like watching how things break from a scientific viewpoint, so I'm all over this game. Hooray for gravity!
meh. To me it just seems like Time Warp on Discovery Channel only with less stuff happening. I also get the feeling that the LRR-crew is balancing too much stuff now. One of the shows will eventually start to suffer from ALL of the stuff they have to do.
But who knows, I may be pleasantly surprised.

Nothing against fun. I'll definitely watch what they got there and if i don't like it i won't bother none. But i have to point out that a contributor of The Escapist itself said something like "if we want more quality we have to demand it". It was in "ExtraCredits and about games, yes, but i see no problem in transfering it and droping something and filming it isn't a simple but briliant idea like "Plants vs. Zombies", but a bad spinoff like "Sonic Unleashed" or [insert game here you think the world never needed]. I would call that hypocrisy, but that's just my opinion.
I must say, I am very excited to see this series. Most days are spent working on increasingly complicated projects, and I rarely have time to enjoy the simple things in life. This is one of those beautiful simple things in life where I can turn off my brain for 30 seconds and enjoy watching an xbox hit the ground in slow motion (amongst other items of course).
I really don't see what the problem is though. If it's not for you that is fair, and it is your right to say you don't like it. That being said, I don't believe this is going to ruin the 'integrity' of The Escapist. The Escapist as a whole is here to entertain, whether it be through an intelligent discourse on how video games affect an individual psychologically, as with Dr. Mark's piece, or whether it be a fun and simple concept that many people will find fun to watch, as in dropping objects that shatter in slow-mo and are sometimes a fish.

I'm inclined to agree with some previous comments that 10 feet ( read as 3 meters... I'm Canadian, dammit! 
) may not be high enough for many things other than those that are already fairly brittle and fragile. Perhaps LRR might consider some episodes where things are dropped from maybe ten times that height, if possible?

And some people don't want one (e.g me)! Go ahead you can even drop a PS3 or even A MAC!SirBryghtside said:Sounds... odd.
But how dare you drop a 360! Some people don't have one (e.g: me)!
The 7th is my birthday! I'll finally be legal to drink in Canada, and here's to hoping they drop a bottle of alcohol, or a cake, or a pie!
Exactly. Hell Brainiac did all that already. They also did the dropping of items in slow motion. So what I'm trying to say is, I'm out.Yankeedoodles said:
