Get on Yahtzee's site. He has some Game Damage news. As for me, I think it has potential. However, I do think that potential needs some polish.

Saw the pilot, hated it, not intersted.

"Hey guys, look at this! It's a guy in a Master Chief suit! Where's the punchline you say? There is none!"

It was alright at best. Probably not going to go anywhere. A lot of the skits really weren't that funny and the information wasn't useful.

I really hated the middle guy. Seriously, I can not explain it but that vapid look and concrete set hair style got on my nerves something fierce.
Anyway, that one small critique aside. It was okay, nothing special but as they only ever made the pilot it is kind of a moot point.
Funny, I was thinking that about the guy on the right. I wanted to slap is head on straight. He must have a strange view of things walking around with his head tilted to the side all day.

As nice as it would be for Yahtzee to be on TV, the fanboy horde would drive me up a clock tower. Besides Australia has Good Game, not saying it would be better or worse... just saying is all.

I thought it was hilarious the first time I saw it. Wish they would do more with it.

It was alright, the skits were embarassingly weak. Reminds me of Yahtzee's Spore review: If you make something brilliant and popular i.e. Zero punctuation, then make sure it is the last thing you ever make as you will never be able to live up to the expectations.

I'd like to see what it's like once they actually have some funding behind it. I thought Yahtzee's segments were pretty good, but the other guys need to step it up a little.

I don't think the presenters suited television. Kinda like three faces for radio :p

On his blog Yahtzee mentions the team are in a continuous state of negotiations and that it'll be picked up sooner rather than later, and recently he said there was a big Game damage related announcment to make soon. So who knows.

The pilot was O.K, sort of like Top Gear without the challenges. It's probably worth picking up on, funding it more and making the relaltionship between the cast less cringe worthy.

It was alright I guess, it's not bad, but could do with some polish. Get Brooker on there then we're talking, I can't be arsed to wait for GamesWipe.

I watched the pilot when it first came out - there's potential there but it needs a ton of polish. Which, if Yahtzee's comments are to be believed, has happened since then. Let's face it, they've had plenty of time. All in all, I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

According to Yug and Matt, they've been in ongoing talks since it was released and they can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Can't remember where I heard them say that, probably on a podcast.

It had potential. I thought a couple of their skits were mildly amusing. If they got some more production know-how in there and a director or something I could watch it quite happily.

Yea I saw it and it was well pretty horrible. I read a few places they have been working on it and it has gotten less horrible.

In an interview Yahtzee talks about how they've done more GD and polished it up a fair bit from the pilot's humble beginnings. Don't recall when/where it will see the light of day. The various VG shows I've seen have all been almost invariably naff, and though very rough around the edges, I thought that GD pilot was promising.
