Poll: Do you Unskippable?

[bob-2000]

All the time, it makes a boring cutscene interesting.

I did it with that movie, Knowing. I think I dubbed those albino guys that creep around the kids, the tribe of the mystical flashlight head pedophiles.

I do when I'm with my friends and it's a game that I couldn't care less about the story

If I'm alone and/or I care about the story, I let the thing play

I always did that since I'm a big fan of MST3K.

Same here. been doin' it for years.

Me and my friend were playing Resident Evil 5 on Professional and were making a lot of comments during the cutscenes, two things we mentioned that i remember;

1) It's hard to take Sheve seriously whilst wearing the Tribal costume
2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzLWX8SNOY0#movie_player At 6:40 in that video we both pointed out how funny it'd be if they crashed into each other during that jump..

Nope. I either watch the cutscene or I don't. Talking to myself and pretending there are imaginary people with me who can hear me just seems silly (and mildly schitzophrenic). If I'm playing something with friends nearby, we might toss out some comments, but if we don't care enough to watch/listen, then we usually skip.

Also, I don't really like Unskippable. They seem to do only games that I've never played (and in some cases heard of), and the one I did play (Prototype) wasn't all that funny...

I have recently notcied that i am now talking over game cut-scenes, making puns, songs and general Unskippabole material. I find it great because I had a mate over watching me play against Jecht in FFX and i was dubbing over their voices and going on about Jecht wanting a Doughnut so badly that he can't controll himself, my mate was in stiches.

Anyone else now fell into this habbit? I highly recommend that you all try it!

I usually only do that after watching an episode of unskippable XD
what can i say, it inspires me

I do it for B-movies at 1 AM with my friends. Amazing fun. Had a great time riffing on Twister...though I'll admit I got the idea from MST3K.

Mind control removal scene. Hotness.

All the bloody time. My friends and I were watching V for Vendetta and turned it into a comedy. Hell, I saw the Halloween movie with another friend, and we laughed through the whole damn thing! Over the summer, my best friend and I were going to record some of ours to try and sell to rifftrax (Demolition Man should hopefully be done soon).

 

[TsunamiWombat]

I've done that before with my Anime Club with a live action show called Densha Otoko. Made it a million times funnier.

"JUMP! JUST JUMP OFF THE ROOF ALREADY!"

Plenty of people do it. It's all an effect from too much Mystery Science Theater 3000 for me.

Likewise. Although I tend to riff on movies a lot more than I do on games, probably because I don't actually buy that many games due to a lack of money. Films are much easier to get hold of for cheap.

In all honesty, Unskippable, while entertaining, is really nothing more than MST3K with a different name.

I'm the same way, I riff if my friend's playing a game, but most of the time it's with movies.

Unskippable itself is okay, but it just doesn't work on the same level as MST3K, although I know it's a slightly different format.

i do occasionally unskippable. you could say i dabble in the unskippable-able.
