I liked it, but the premise for the series holds much more promise than the video shows. Here are some things you might try:
- The Mario games. Imagine if you had the power to jump 10 feet in the air and kill people by stomping on them, and the only way you had to open boxes was by getting underneath them and headbutting them. A short joke, but a very visual one that would make a great one-time gag.
- Quake, for one reason: rocket-jumping.
- JRPGs. The Japanese love cliches, and so do I, but I also love mocking cliches. Consult The Grand List Of Console Role Playing Game Clichés [http://project-apollo.net/text/rpg.html] for inspiration.
- MMORPGs. You could make an entire video of yourselves running around and conducting menial tasks. You'd need some trick to make us watch all the way through, but I think you can come up with something, and the MMORPGs could use a good ribbing for all the boring stuff you have to do.
- Duckhunt. Respect the classics.
Find a good balance between breaking down the cliches (having the characters try to act like videogame characters and fail in a humorous manner) and propping up cliches (having the characters try to act like videogame characters and succeed in a humorous manner). I don't think you'll make The Escapist, but I hope you get a chance to make a series somewhere. Good luck!
