Felt like there was constant tension to not overuse Yahtzee, and the thing about the anime guy looking like a girl was too obvious (though I thought it, too), but the ending was brilliant. And yeah, I don't think small straight sounds very impressive in that context, either.

"I hope when we get to the point we're flying through space, we come up with something more creative than spacedate."
"How about stardate?"

Nice crossover and a great way to mix things up and possibly bring in a larger audience.

Now I challenge you to arrange the ultimate crossover/gueststar: getting the old crew [http://www.rifftrax.com/] to come on for an episode. That's really pushing it, I know, but there's no denying that it would stand as the ultimate accomplishment for this series. It would be much trickier to arrange a crossover outside of The Escapist, but the old fellas admit to being big fans of gaming.

Something to reach for, right?

Ha ha, good one. I loved the game, but I'll be the first to admit that the VA was laughable at times.

No.

Putting Yahtzee in just made the whole thing sound commercial.

Yahtzee does erratic and abstract humor very very well.

You guys do quick witty and intelligent humor very very well.

Stick to your own shows guys :/

So... Yahtzee meets Graham and Paul? If we added Branston Pickles, the universe would surely implode... Eh? Eh? Anyone?
PPPHAIL, and you'll love it more than being small strait-ed


Yahtzee sems out of place, kindof like finding a bloody knife under your friends pillow before you get drunk with him, just akward, but i liked the jokes. well they could have been better, seemed like they were trying too hard, not the longer jokes Unskippable usually does, more like quick jabs with a bloody knife, lol

This was well worth the wait. Soon they'll have Mike and the bots doing guess appearances.
That would be greatness beyond words. A tribute episode, with theater silhouette and all.

An interesting collaboration. There should be some kind of a honorary reward for the guy behind this idea. Perhaps a golden statue that would dwarf the Statue of Liberty. Just suggesting.

I love Unskippable and Zero Punctuation, but at first it seemed like Yahtzee seemed a little out of place in this... Later it got a lot better... can't wait for Wednesday...

Hrm...gags were kinda inorganic. MST3K is able to sustain 3 different voices talking because it's still 3 guys sitting in the same room, watching the movie over and over, and hammering out a script.

Between Yahtzee telling the other two to shut up intermittently and his shock jock humor it didn't really mesh with the usual sarcasm and reference humor of the other two. Kinda mixed like oil & water.

The Escapist Universe Crossover!

With personalities this big, no single show can contain them. This week, Zero Punctuation's Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw invades The Escapist's newest hit show Unskippable. Two days later, adding insult to comedy, Unskippable's Graham Stark visits Zero Punctuation. What will happen when these two great shows collide? Who will survive? How many "your mother" jokes will there be? Find out when this monumental crossover begins today, Monday, March 30th and continues Wednesday, April 1st! Brought to you by Pony Jam.

I knew that the Star Ocean games have boring openings but at least this one is better than the one in Till the End of Time.

Holy crap not only is it a game I've heard of and am playing, but also with Yahtzee?!

All things considered it was one of the best Unskippables they've had, but I thought it could have been better. Considering it was a JRPG which are usually pretty easy to make fun of, and especially one with terrible characters (speaking from personal experience), and Yahtzee was in it and despises JRPG's (see Oblivion review) I expected this video to be "orgasmic" but it was more along the lines of "absolutely amazing.

Still great, I LOVED that people are working together, and I can't WAIT for Wednesday

I never thought I would say this...

But Graham and Paul schooled Yahtzee. Graham had all the good lines, and Yahtzee had all the predictable "I hate jrpgs hey they are all twelve year olds with wacky hair" lines...
Well, these kids clearly must have been 12. Which, in JRPG/anime land, is roughly equivalent to pushing 40 in the real world.

This was quite a good one, and Yahtzee's closing line clinched the deal...:)
