Pillow quest and the red ring of death (he had a perfect stereotypical investigative-reporter voice) were the best sketches this week...
Pillow Quest was definitely the best part of this episode, the RRoD thing was kind of 'meh' though the line about "They say you get used to it after 4 or 5 times" got a laugh from me, the first sketch was a little hit or miss as well.
I'm optimistic about Show About Games Show, I have a feeling they'll get more and more consistent with their humor as they try things out and find out what works and doesn't work for them. I definitely like the general vibe of the show.

Very well presented, produced and directed and all that crap. Sadly its intention of actually being funny flies very far from the mark. *Yawn*
Seriously? I hardly ever watch the show and I got that the one dude was supposed to be the skinny/tall antisocial guy right away (I don't know that character's name, sorry). I thought it was a fantastic impression.Ashoten said:
edit: Someone said earlier in the thread that the tall dude from Big Bang Theory is "Sheldon". So yeah, I got that he was supposed to be Sheldon right away.
This was great, guys. As with the FilmFest entry, I think the shorter bits are definitely your strength.
Pillow Quest was inspired, and the call-backs really made it.
Good job!

Watched every episode of this show so far and laughed maybe once, a bit. Not my thing I guess, shame, love all other Escapist shows. :/
Pro tip (coming from a total non-pro but who cares): shorter sketches!! The moment we get the joke, move on to the next thing. Like the red ring of death. Just having the show host do his introduction is enough, we don't need that eye-witness account, it hurts the initial joke.
Yea....not really funny. I wouldn't really be commenting on this (it was that un-noteworthy),but I noticed during the Gamer Gang segment that the guy playing the ds has a white cartridge with a slit that conveniently looks like it could hold a micro sd card. If I have to be blunt he is playing with a flashcart.
A fantastic episode! Each of the episodes so far have always had an outstanding piece, a hilarious running gag and sadly one sub-par piece. This episode however kept the first two and did away with the third of these things, a brilliant episode of humour and parody.
All the parodies have probably been done before but they were well excecuted and funny nonetheless. I didn't expect the Pillow Quest to be all that humerous but the pain in my gut from consistant laughter is proof enough that my initial assumption was wrong. Great job, keep up the good work!

Anyone else think that the quality of this show visually is very sub-par in comparison to most Escapist shows?
your definitely drastically improving each episode but your camerawork and lighting aren't even all that good. "Doomsday arcade" one of the old winners looked fantastic for an amateur show, The camerawork really made some of the jokes a lot more funny than they were. Your killing some of the jokes with just lazy camerawork.
I'm still rather surprised this won, but i can see it getting better, i also agree with what a lot of people are saying, your shorter skits are far better. the red ring of death skit went on for just to long, it killed the joke.
