Do you guys think the most of the video series on the Escapists are below par. With the finale of There Will Be Brawl, the disappearance of Unforgotten Realms, and the steady downfall of Zero Punctuation and Unskippable I feel like the humor is gone. The site leans on Game Dogs (a series filled with dog puns and references to things that were funny for other series) and Doraleous (i couldn't even finish the first episode)which dont seem to deliver.
Feel free to share your opinions.
"The Steady Downfall of Zero Punctuation and Unskippable"
Ok this doesn't add up for me. You're commenting on something like it's a documented fact when it's at best an opinion, and one any number of people, myself included, may not share. that said, ok, let's do this.
Unskippable: I still watch it every week and it's a highlight of the lineup
Zero Punctuation: Still find funny, but like most humor, this is a pretty subjective thing.
Loading Ready Run: You left this off completely I noticed. They've been a bit hit and miss with me, but way more hit than miss. i.e. ok the beard thing was meh, but the bathroom attendant cracked me up. Graham's delivery just completely sells it.
Apocalypse Lane: Still digging it.
Doraleous and Associates: I'm enjoying it, and looking forward to see them run with it
Game Dogs: I admit, if I didn't know Russ was behind it, I probably wouldn't watch this as much. That said, the episodes are getting better as the characters find their voices a bit more.
Look I could go on, but here's the thing, it's all humor, so it' all subjective. The Escapist has always had a history for being different, and when you march to the beat of your own drummer, trying new things out, some of it works, some of it doesn't.
They still entertain me.
