Well good and bad is subjective, but I'd say this is not a new thing. I personally thought the opining cinematic of Onimusha 3 was awesome. and that was a long time ago. I don't think the actual quality of the scene in question makes it's mockery less funny.WhiteTigerShiro said:I gotta say, these are seriously less funny when the movie being mocked was actually done well. First Borderlands, now Left 4 Dead... it'd be like if MST3K decided to do a show on Citizen Kane. Sure the rabid fans of the show will insist it was the "best yet", but anyone with taste will wonder if they're running out of ideas and/or movies.
It may still, as of this posting, PC version of L4D2 is 1 hour and 10 minutes overdue for release. But no surprise since Valve pulled the same last minute fixing with the early release demo. Go figure. At least now we have something to feed our L4D cravings in the meantime. Thank you Graham! And Paul, I hope you were able to forgive Graham for not hitting the skip button.GrahamS said:Funny story, that was totally, and completely, unplanned.samsonguy920 said:They might very well have done L4D today since 2 comes out tomorrow
I didn't even realize until you said it. Heck, I thought L4D2 was coming out Q1 next year.
Wow, go us for being timely!
Obviously I disagree. It's not the goodness or badness of the scene that makes it funny.WhiteTigerShiro said:I gotta say, these are seriously less funny when the movie being mocked was actually done well.

I have been known to tussle with the boys from Unskippable a lot, but I have to agree with Graham 100% here.GrahamS said:Obviously I disagree.

I understand that if you like the scene (as I do, with Borderlands, and this one) then you might think that we're "making fun of it" and get upset or irritated, but we're not.
Making some good-natured ribs, maybe, but are we saying its bad? No.
And the MST3K guys recently did Casablanca on Rifftrax. Casablanca is a fantastic film, but it still made a hilarious Rifftrax.
As an aside, there's no way we could be running out of games, any time soon.
