Old escapist series. You guys missing them?

[Fr]anc[is]

The only one I remembered before reading this thread was Doraleous, which I honestly didn't like. Characters whispering to each other for 4 minutes is not a joke. I would say Extra Credits, but they're still on Penny Arcade, so no loss.

...people liked Top 5?

When did this happen?

This. It was a good show, but I wouldn't put it near my favorites.

OT: Doomsday Arcade and Apocalypse Lane were great.

And Extra Credits was good to a certain extent. Some of their episodes fell a little flat.

 

[Kodlak]

I miss Doomsday Arcade too, poor ol' Lazer Cat. Although was disappointed how abruptly it all ended.

 

[TallanKhan]

I have to admit i miss Rebecca Mayes, although i feel her series peaked with Epic Win.

 

[Daemonate]

I miss lots like Top 5 and Daily Drop, but shows Doraleous and Assoc. and Anthony Saves the World were standouts for me. I hated how Doraleous ended too...

 

[Lazy]

DORALEOUS & ASSOCIATES. I used to look forward to it even more than ZP, and then it just stopped mid-season!

 

[Souplex]

De-Rez, Unforgotten Realms, and Doraleous.
That is all.
I'm actually liking most of the current crop.

 

[FalloutJack]

Okay, I should say Extra Credits too, but let's just face it...the Escapist wasn't the best environment for them. No, not because of the users. There's a ton of people here who liked EC and an amount of them left when they did. Everyone around at the time of EC's departure KNOWS why that happened...

...but MODesty forbids the actual talking about it, I'm sure.

(Oh, and yeah I'm aware that UR still has a place of its own and updates, and that they left the site for...about the same reasons as EC, but I really did like those guys here.)

 

[FalloutJack]

-Snip-

No no, I know they're there. That's the other reason I said the word SHOULD. Not just because of the problems here, but because they DID find a home. Heh, forgot to say that in the other post.

 

[Montassiner]

Doraleous and Associates - there is a hole in my heart that this show used to fill....

 

[Overusedname]

I really liked There Will Be Brawl. I know it ended because it was done storyline wise, but I'd like to see Mercer do another show.

This.

I also always wondered why Unforgotten realm went bye bye...it still exists I think...

 

[Guffe]

I wanna cast a spell...

FLARE!!!

yeah UnforgottenRealms was awesome, always looked forward to it but after they left from here they didn't get too much done and then I stopped going once a month on their site as nothing new ever appeared.

 

[Alakaizer]

Like others I miss Top 5, I didn't care for Doraleus at first, but then it grew on me. Those who miss it should check out this.Here's another link for Extra Credits.

Y'know, if you want to watch EC, but not go to patv.com for some reason.

Back on topic, a show I miss that no one else has mentioned is Show About Games Show. I guess I just like sketch comedy done well.

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

Like others, I really miss Lisa's Top 5, but even more so I miss Daily Drop.

That one fruit that took a crowbar hit and the subsequent noise just had me ROFLing to no end.

..........

Now that I think of it...

Spoiler: I'm gonna share some DD fun with everyone else! Enjoy!

YAY!




...and finally...

 

[JochemHippie]

Doomsday Arcade was fun.
Extra Credits was good, but hey if you don't pay your entertainers they leave.
Lisa Foils was fun too, no idea where that went.
Drinking Games =(


And despite all those good ones leaving they keep people like MovieBob around for... some reason >_>
Still we have Miracle of Sound now and Jim... And I'm hoping for the Escapist that ZP sticks around.

 

[Thespian]

I miss Top 5 with Lisa Foyles and Doraleous and Associates the most. I also miss Extra Creditz but they are on PA now so that's cool. I only watch Yahtzee and Moviebob nowadays.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

There Will Be Brawl, that show will always be my favorite.

 

[Darren716]

I miss extra credits and before you ask yes I do know they're still going but I don't like their newer stuff compared to the stuff they did for the escapist.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I never watch the content anymore. I haven't seen Zero Punctuation in months now.

Then again, I completely missed out on the last few months of the show so I never fully understood why they left anyway.

Huge debacscandal almost exactly a year ago now. Art director broke her arm, EC asked Escapist for money to pay for surgery (because of the recession Escapist wasn't paying a lot of people, which is why a lot of shows got axed; EC stayed because it was practically taking IOUs as payment), Escapist wouldn't pay up, EC left for YouTube, Escapist eventually pulled the video archive off of the site around half a year later.

 

[Owlslayer]

Well, i really did love Doomsday Arcade (in fact, I´m pretty sure it was my all time favourite escapist show), I was quite sad when there were no more episodes to see.
Of course, i miss Extra Credits, but episodes by them can be seen on other web pages, so that`s more or less okay.
And Doraleous and Associates. Oh god, it was such a brilliant, hilarious show. Laughed so much when watching it. I just really hope there will be a next season of that, be it on the Escapist or on Machinima. But the guys who did D&A did some other pretty funny stuff, too.
