Would like you guys to turn Homefront into something funny. Though you might have to edit out that scene with the parents and child.

Poop-throwing penguins really are becoming a major issue. Someone needs to put a stop to these Antarctic hooligans before it's too late!

The Wizaaaa-aa-a-aaa-aaard! (Damn you Idle Thumbs for making me this way).

Calling your walky robot things 'wanzers' instead of 'wankers' doesn't really even fix the problem. Now it's only (heavily) implied.

Probably the greatest travesty of this game was having the voice actor pronounce "Wanzer" wrong.
In the FM universe "Wanzers" were a German creation which means the "w" is pronounced as a "v."
Oh well... At least FM4 is still as awesome as ever.

As a FM fan, I cannot tell you how much I hated this game. Hell, even if it wasn't the worst in a series it would still be horrible just on its own.

As far as the stupid cutscenes go, my favorite is probably about 2 hours in, when the main character faints in his robot, causing the robot to fall over for some reason and prompting the standard issue black military guy to rush over in HIS robot to catch the main character's dramatically. Then his robot's head looks up at the sky as he shouts the main character's name. This is cheesy when people do it, but the idea that he would have had to make so many carefully planned movements with his robot to achieve this effect is hilarious.

Yes. At least it's a space elevator instead of another orbital space laser hijacked by space Russians.

Good burn about the Hudson River, Graham!

And yeah, why does that Amy girl sound like someone from the movie "Clueless"? What the hell for?!

Anyway, see you next Monday for part 2. Time for me to get going....RIGHT INTO A WALL!!!

A space escalator...

How would that work? Especially at a 45 Degree Angle. you'd have to have support for it (since we obviously dont have hover technology in this game) and jet propulsion would be to costly and pointless. How much of the world would you be covering as you go in your straight line?
I think they meant space elevators. Those are a real possibility and many countries are trying to develop one right now. The main problem seems to be creating a cable that is strong enough to resist the tension. But about the support thing, if you managed to take the end of the elevator and put it in geostationary orbit then it wouldn't need to hover, it would keep floating around the planet like our moon.

I think I get the whole "Wanzer" and "Walking Tank thing" connection. "Walking Panzer"

Yeah... it's still lame.

Have to say an elevator to space... that somehow made me think of stairway to heaven.

Also those Wanzers look a lot like the V-Suits from Lost Planet... and I'm still thinking that they would be a pretty stupid thing to use at battle... cause they look as if you could fall over in them very easy.

This game literally looks like Disney's japanese branch decided to make a game about mechs that is as "Tween friendly" as possible.

The tween voices. The "cutesy" character designs. The fact that a giant multi-million dollar war robot is called a "Wanzer" nad this must be the only Japanese game I've seen where the female support charcter is NOT wearing a miniskirt. Not good signs.......

No no no. At the end, they said Space escalators are where its at.

EDIT:
I get the point of a space elevator, and thats a single shaft. all the support is under it.

Ha! Solid episode. Quite a few really funny parts.
Good job, looking forward to next weeks.

Graham sounds like he has a cold or hay fever maybe? :[

Nice job, Graham and Paul. I've been watching Unskippable for a while now, and lately I found myself laughing less and less.

Fortunately, this one made me laugh out loud, for real, multiple times. Keep up the good work.

P.S.
Graham, do get better. You sound like you have a cold.

I'm glad all you smart people are here saving me having to look up the logic behind the name on my own, also that is a shame, the quasi-German pronunciation actually sounds pretty good.

Of course, they have to have the camera angle showing the mech (I refuse to say that other thing) going up the elevator also give a very nice display of valley girl's ass. That was right up there with the random close-up of Miranda's ass in Mass Effect 2. Not topping it, but pretty damn close.

Wanzer comes from contracting "wanderpanzer" -> wanderpanzers -> wanzers.

Walking tank would be a problem. walking tank -> walking tank - > wank.

I think you see the problem. Wanzers is just the lesser of two ridiculous, ridiculous evils.
DAMN IT, beat me to the 'wank' name!!
