Unskippable this week (05/25)

[tehweave]

Ok, so I have a sneaking suspicion that I missed something and that there was a reason why they skipped unskippable this week, and that it has already been discussed forty bajillion times on the forums (despite the "search" bar bringing up nothing) but I might as well ask in case I'm the only one not knowing the answer...

Why was there no new unskippable this week?

 

[Hazy]

Who cares?
I don't mean to sound rude, but maybe they took a break. Writing those scripts can't be as easy as it seems. There's always next week

 

[TikiShades]

Maybe a season break?

 

[Paulrus_Keaton]

Maybe the cutscene they watched was so horrifically bad they went comatose and then drowned in the toilet.

Monday was Memorial Day here in the states, where everyone gets the day off of work to celebrate the war-folk. They are in America, and that is a national holiday. That is why they did not do it.

Oh! Makes sense. But wouldn't they have had it made by then anyway? Was The Escapist updated on Monday?

Because this weeks Unskippable was...Skippable.

(do ya...do ya see what I did there?)

Paul and Graham are from Canada, where the bank holiday was last week. Presumably, the other people involved at the Escapist are in the U.S., and didn't upload because it was a bank holiday for them.

 

[HentMas]

i was wondering that too... i love those guys but they were starting to get on their fan base... perhaps too soon to take a break??

 

[Avatar Roku]

Memorial Day, likely. Either that or they took a break. They're entitled.

 

[Ashbax]

These guys deserve to take a break every now and then *Shrugs*

If it was for a Metal Gear game, it's possible they're still watching the cutscene.

 

[Cozzzy]

In fact, being Canadian, our May holiday was last week, and still we did one!
But Unskippable might not go up this week, because The Escapist is American and does have Memorial Day.

So... happy Memorial Day?

In the comments of their Lost Odyssey cutscene.

Okay, you win.

Dammit ninja'd and you know writing scripts for half hour cutscenes is no simple task

Where'd they get the toilet?

This also.

That must be it.

 

[Shurikens and Lightning]

Memorial day is only a day though, they could have done it a day before.

 

[Graham_LRR]

The episode we recorded will be going online this Monday. Hint: It involves loneliness.

Apologies for the burp in schedule, but apparently you crazy Americans need your stat holidays.


(Because the internet is a place that doesn't convey sarcasm, understand that I am kidding when I say "crazy Americans")

This, definitely.

Having "Unskippable Creator" as your title is a whole new level of win.
Hmm... loneliness. I'm sincerely intrigued.

Also, when you said "Crazy Americans" I wasn't thinking you were being racist or anything, but I had a brief picture of you and Paul dressed like Russian sub commanders yelling "Ahhh you crazy American, eh!? FUCK OFF I SINK YOU"

I apologize in advance...


In Soviet Russia, Cutscene skips you.
