Game Dogs: The Hand of Fate
- Thread starter Russ Pitts

I think I agree... Maybe it's because suicide in general should just never be funny, or because I had a friend die in a car accident a couple weeks ago, but... This was just revolting. I strongly dislike this show and I hope that it's pulled soon.PaintyFace said:
No offence meant to the creators or anything, but this just wasn't good at all. I'm not sure why the Escapist is pushing this show so hard when it produces this kind of distasteful content.
Loved the fact that 2 of the characters died, now just kill the rest and end the series please.
The video is called Road trip on the main page, but Hand of Fate in the movie itself, how odd. Although I find Road trip more fitting for the movie.
On the video: it had it's moments (law-jokes and "sigh"), but that bloody beating was...overdone. Gore isn't the solution for everything.

You kill off the two characters everyone could stand, in the darkest ways possible, and made Bob basically a Murderer?
Yeah, I am gonna stop watching this now, though I will admit I did laugh a little at the Law Jokes.
When Bugs Bunny gets Daffy Duck Shot, Daffy doesn't die. He gets a little hurt yes, but it's not something he can't recover from. Whenever someone gets hurt in Looney Tunes, it's all just for laughs and no one dies. Plus, the show is actually more a show of wits: The smarter person avoids getting hurt, the dumber person gets hurt, but not alot and doesn't die.
(PLEASE NOTE: However, I do not think your psychotic or anything for enjoying it. I simply didn't)

There's a huge difference between this and Looney Tunes:WNxSajuukCor said:

1. I just pointed out that I wasn't so much offended as I was appalled that they would throw something like this out of nowhere with no warning. I don't like watching someone innocent getting beat to death while verbally denegrated. I just said I'd watch something like that if it were used in an intelligent manner, but not when its, "Oh, hi, we're taking this crude comedy humor show and turning it into a furry snuff film without warning!"WNxSajuukCor said:
2. I don't think you have mental issues. I was just pointing that out as a possible reason for why a person would be able to enjoy gratuitous violence handled so callously. I do think you say that you find it funny because the groups and people you want associate yourself with endorse finding violence funny.
3. I didn't say you were a stain on society. I'm completely serious. My mother worked for years at the local asylum, so I've grown up aware of the implications of mental health issues. I have friends who have some mental health issues, and when they don't take care of their problems, they cause pain and problems for the people that care about them. Or how about my goddamned father, who instead of getting help for his many issues, abusing the people I love physically and emotionally for years while wasting his trust fund, stealing my sister and my inheritances, and now trying to get welfare even though he hasn't paid taxes in years, making himself a literal burden on society? Oh, and this sadist hurt my dog. He killed at least four dogs, injured and caused many other dogs heat stroke. When the public became aware, he murdered his own wife in front of their young children and then took his own life. People who find joy in hurting others really need to get help.
Yes, they do have the artistic license to do what they want with their characters, but just because they have the license to do it, doesn't mean they've done it artistically. South Park, while just as crude as this, does have a certain tact when using violence in humor. When the sadistic kid does cruel things to other people and insult them, the writers have encapsulated this despicable nature into an exaggerated example of this guy you really wouldn't want to be. For every extreme and offensive comment or character trait, there's another one right around the corner to balance it out and make their argument that the world's this crude cess pool of human flaws. Or whatever the topic of the specific episode is.
This episode of Game Dogs lacked the tact required to handle this subject matter with any real purpose. It was just violence and abuse for the Hell of it.
If you found it funny because of an apparent commentary on the general perception of the show and the legal issues, then why did you say, "Yay gratuitous gore and violence"? I can see no purpose other than to try to get a reaction from people.
Wow. That was just dark and completely tasteless. I can't believe that was made as anything but a joke, besides that it was actually aired. Plus they managed to get rid of the two least annoying characters.
I guess if you run out of ideas for your show you might as well completely lose your audience's respect? Whatever floats your boat.

Never back down from what you want to do based on the opinions of others. It's your show, you're the artists, do with it as you will.
That said, this was hands down the least enjoyable Game Dogs I have ever watched.
Thank you for your time. I probably will not be watching next week.

That would be cool. Oh... and it should have been Chet. People hate "idea dogs".Stoic raptor said:
Beth got the least votes, so I think her dying was just to screw with us before Roger (who got the most votes) hung himself.
I'm willing to bet this is a stand alone episode apart from the rest of the series. I mean, you just can't continue when two of your three main characters die off.

um.... not very funny at all, the only comedy was the after credits reference, it was not foreshadowed in the least besides that one contest so it's a completely unnecessary plot screw up, and dark without needing to be. this show was light of tone humor before now, where did that go? the only other time was Bob's flashback. Hell, kill off bob and get the light of tone back. Apocalypse lane had a dark tone, but it fit and was still amazingly funny, same with doomsday arcade at many times, but here, it's not needed and just unnecessarily grotesque. sick for the purpose of being sick.
Are you shitting me?
Beth had the least votes and Roger had the most, why the fuck didn't they kill of Chet? He's the only guy in this show that I really hate!
