Unskippable: Quantum of Solace

This one had its moments, but it wasn't the best. I liked the "rawr" and "Danish Eminem" lines... The leg thing wasn't funny, and it spoiled the scene. The second you guys said "I like my legs" it seemed pretty obvious he was going to get shot.
Anyway, I can't believe how awful that game looks. I'd skip every single cutscene...
They just don't make 'em like they used to. Any James Bond game in recent memory is worthless compared to Goldeneye... Even The World Is Not Enough is a masterpiece compared to most Bond games since.

See, our thinking there is that's a scene taken straight from the end of Casino Royale. We knew how it's going to end up, so we had no problem telegraphing the joke.CapnJack said:
If you still haven't seen Casino Royale after 5 years, it's your own fault.
ha, i was totally planning on leaving a comment that said "That wasn't unskippable! the skip button was right in the corner!" but then they beat me to it. Good episode, but i Dirge of Cerberus was better. Still the best one. If i had to reccomend a game, I would say Jak and Daxter (the first one, that opening is cool but pretty dang corny), any of the other Final Fantasies, or Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad (though that might be to raunchy for Escapist) Keep up the good work!
Now I was thinking you guys would have gone with the set up and then when the guy gets shot go something like "Owww! My hip!".GrahamS said:
No, no, this doesn't count as an episode. You were able to skip it, that means it can't be considered an episode of Unskippable. As punishment, you have to make TWO new episodes this week.
Just kidding. I thought this one was pretty good.
On a side note, do you know what would be neat? If on special occasions you did episodes that are comprised of shorter cutscenes. Like maybe six one-minute cutscenes. Maybe as like a New Year's special, a Fourth of July special, a Sabbath special... Whatever.

I thought that this one was as good as most of the rest.
"everyone knows this would be running in dos on a windows 95 machine". Try a terminal emulator for a late-80's term server on windows machines from the late 90's. Running GPS, live video feed, voice analysis, and a profile/record/known associates database search all at once, and that fast? I want that machine. Also, who's supposed to be watching that screen anyway?
While I didn't realize "unskippable" was a hard and fast rule, I figured a lot of the games, since I haven't played them, were probably still skippable just without the notification.
"Skip A" shows up at 1:02 when the view switches to the scope. I figured they knew before recording and just went with it to make a point that they don't have to do just "un-skippables". If they really did just notice during recording, imagine the pain of finding another game and completely re-doing another episode just because you found out the game was skippable after 6 minutes of recording (with, I imagine, some preparation time invoved as well).

lol I enjoyed it.
"What's that in the bottom?"
"Um... It says press A to skip..."
"It's been there the whole time?"
