Sooo many ideas for Frozen prequels/sequels xD
This was a good episode, a good laughter in the morning!
Oh, you have no idea. That was only the tip of the frozen iceberg. I have plots on top of plots.

I wouldn't mind seeing Lisa back, too. There's way too much bad feelings around in gaming - it's sexism this, SJW that, EA sucking big bags of dicks this and publishers suck that.

With Lisa around, all the problems will still be around, but at least someone will be able to remind us of all the fun we're supposed to be having with gaming.

I think the best option would be to devote one episode to each idea (and then keep going with more ideas). When the time comes each week, an episode of something unrelated airs, and each week you guys pretend that that week's show is what you do every week.

I'm serious! It would become like a sketch show. 'Chris & Kyle Buy A Thing' would be hilarious for one installment, and then the week after, it's 'Something Something Legos'. Each time as if it's an ongoing show. It would be confusing at first, but it would never get stale, because it would never be the same thing!


((Also, I always thought the plural was "lego")).

I'll be honest, didn't watch the video because I just got done with a 14 hour roadtrip and I just wanted to type this out real quick, but bring back Extra Credits. I still don't fully understand the falling-out but if you guys can fix it and bring them back that'd be awesome.

We also need to fill the LRR-sized hole.

I actually love the idea of boxset. Maybe expand to not only TV show boxsets but maybe collected editions/ omnibuses (omnibi?) of comics.

Also Frozen Solid. Needs to happen, I want to hear more.

Ok guys let's go, you can do this.
LRR still does 2 of their 3 shows on this site.

I liked a couple of the pitches very much:
- 3D jamboree is just a great idea. There is some serious need of judging the quality of a 3D movie. Should we watch it in 3D? Should we watch the normal version? Should we not watch it at all?
- Box set review is pretty cool, but I don't think it's feasible to do a weekly box set unless 4 people each have one month to finish a box set. I mean... The Hobbit you can do in one week but Friends?
- Buy a thing. Thats cool, but try to keep it game/movie/comics related. Do it from a consumer advocate perspective, since thats most of what Jim was anyway.

Also, the AFOL (Adult Fan Of Lego) subculture is fricking huge. There might actually already be someone out there who does something worthy of being on the escapist. It would be a good add to the roster. I also remember Shut Up and Sit Down being featured here a couple of times. Maybe something with board games could be good?

Sorry, I meant LRR specifically as a show, not the group.

I know, right? Lisa was this beautiful, joyous counterweight to all the snide, sarcastic attitude going around. Just like Robert Rath and and Shamus Young bring in some much needed weighty words to balance out all the filler.

OT: I would watch 3D jamboree. Or you know, drinking games could come back? Maybe it'll do better this time around. And now you have more games to play around with.

No Herman?

NRA, I am disappoint. Herman is GOLD.
I'll tell him you said that.

How about "Herman comes to your house and cooks you eggs". Even if you don't want him to. There is no stopping the Herman

That could be a good show; just mine some data from the Escapist to figure out the locations of a few fans, break into their house with a camera, and wait for them to wake up in the morning and stumble downstairs to find Herman cooked all their eggs in the middle of the night.

If you guys are actually planning another show (surprising given the amount of offspring you're creating), Guy Cry might be better as a video rather than column. You can have the emotional shots in the video, rather than just referencing them, and there can be smash cuts to Kyle gently sobbing as he is forced to relive the opening from UP.

Chris Eat a Box of Something: I love it! But, depending on what is being eaten may or may not determine if I watch the episode in its entirety... or just stop half-way...

Chris & Kyle Buy-A-Thing: I love it! Bonus points if the store location includes clothing stores of the female variety... just because all bases must be touched one way or another...

Box Set: I love it! Might need some special guest, but I'm sure that's in the budget somehow...

Hey! I'm Not Yahtzee!: I love it! Needs more of the game Yahtzee, though...

Religion N' Politics: I lo-wait a minute... I ain't falling for that one... again...

Apology Hour: I love it! Not sure about the time-slot, though... But, then again, like I said, I ain't falling for that one again...

White Guilt: What did I just say?! I ain't falling for it...

Check Your Privilege: ...FUCK!

Dan Drinks A Bottle of Wine & Does Your Taxes: I love it! But, jokes on you because my wine can do my taxes... (Oh wait...)

The next show you mentioned next basically doesn't even need a title because I already love it...

BEARDS!: FUCKING SOLD!

3D Jamboree (with Chris, Kyle, and Dan): I love it! Maybe it would get me to buy a 3D-enabled TV... Maybe...

Drinking games never go out of style... Just out of age range... But, just like Degrassi, that doesn't mean the drinking game has to end afterwards...

Something Something LEGO: FUCKING SOLD!

Frozen Solid: http://media.giphy.com/media/dC9DTdqPmRnlS/giphy.gif
Chris' Frozen Fanfiction: ...Make that shit a separate, full, uncut, uncensored, unapologetic video NOW!!!

We always need more singing on The Escapist, anyway... FUCKING SOLD!

Overall, I'd buy most of those shows for a dollar... and then asked if I could be a part of the ones I paid with said dollar... (And I do accept rejection well, thank you very much...)

Am I the only one that actually thinks the 3D movie review might not be a bad idea? I would like to have a way of parsing out the overwhelming majority of 3-D films that are good/great in 2-D and become annoying in 3-D with the films that ACTUALLY do make good use of 3-D effects. Because at this stage it seems like the best way to handle the 3-D movie phenomena is to just ignore it and watch movies in 2-D.

All wrong answers indeed. (Though the singing themesongs one was the least wrong.)

I'd like to see something simillar to Doomsday Arcade or Doraleous & Associates again.

Id totally watch Frozen Solid, that shit sounds hilarious! I can see the potential for some really involved storytelling there. The preview already had some more advanced shit going on than all 1 and a half hours of Frozen!
