Escapist News Network: Atari's Gambit

[Digikid]

Loved the new intro, the Portal "Rant", and the ( and their moms) line in the credits.

Well done....and thank you for no gay references. *shudders*

Call of duty: Space Warfare has just had it's first screen shot leaked!

I always wondered why these news anchors were so angry at games. Now thanks to ENN it's all clear DAMN YOU ET FOR THE ATARI 2600!!!!!!!

I liked the new opening, although I was a bit turned off by the commentary between each news story.

Authoritative and tactile like a good parent... or a good dominatrix.

I honestly hadn't thought of the two mouse buttons needed for the portals. So how does that work on single button mouses for the macs? Do they need to buy a new one or buy one of those ones where you assign the right side as the right click?

I don't know if this is how Portal does it, but a lot of Mac applications from the one-button era supported right-clicking by letting you hold a key down with a mouse click, if you only had a one-button mouse. I don't know how well that would work in a game though.

Almost every real Mac user I've known bought a non-Apple mouse as a replacement though, at least during the whole one-button era.

Love the new Intro. Great Pictures. The kid holding the help us sign was cute. Somebody Save the Children!

I like how you take short pauses in between stories to comment on them instead of now instead of immediatly continuing on to the next story, a problem I had before was that it was really fast and hard to follow. Anyway good episode didnt really get the whole Atari thing though.

 

[Plurralbles]

the new opening is awesome.

The closing was awesome.

"this explains... everything..."

I like the new intro the LP2 joke was g a good one

Also loved the Crack at Crytek they have been so big headed lately its been pissing me off, i hope Crysis 2 is a flop just to make them shut the hell up.

Almost every real Mac user I've known bought a non-Apple mouse as a replacement though, at least during the whole one-button era.

Bought a Razer DeathAdder myself. And a Pure Pwnage mousepad. But I obviously don't game on my Mac. I have a Sony VAIO for that. Which I'd like to point out is one of the worst PC experiences on Earth. A single tear falls from a Native-American face each time one is bought.

Mine was given to me.

I AM UNCOMFORTABLE WITH CHANGE!

That said, I like this show an awful lot, so I almost certainly won't stop watching.

 

[Z(ombie)fan]

PC>MAC. 'cause PC will at least RUN if you ask it.

Also, the mere mention of Atari makes me froth in rage.they have never released a good game, and are holding the rights to blood hostage, despite the fact they will NEVER USE THOSE RIGHTS!!

 

[mjc0961]

Did I hear a reference to that "sledgehammer games" segment in one of those Atari jingles? Something about the game being so sledgehammer that you'll get VD?

 

[Don Reba]

Kathleen seemed (even) more upbeat than usual.

 

[zombie711]

dont make fun of atari. they invented DLC for a second generation console.

 

[Decabo]

I definitely think having more enthusiasm in the line deliveries would improve this show. It was there in the Mac bit, but some of the others were lacking it. The first headline about the rape game or whatever it was was almost completely deadpan, to the point that I almost dozed off before the punchline. Now I realize it's a parody news show, so you're not supposed to be yelling like Yahtzee, but even other fake news shows like Onion, The Daily Show, and FOX News show some emotion.

Great show

 

[JEBWrench]

That was... different. I suppose eNN's been around for a while, and needed to change to avoid getting stale?
