saw it yesterday. nothing really memorable in the entire episode, so i'm gonna pass it off as "average".

I found it kinda rough in parts. Especially the sketches. But I'm British and I'm constantly spoiled by A+ sketch shows. But it's a pilot, so hey it's bound to be a little rough around the edges!

Oh Hey Sent! Who the fuck gave you my number!

To my echo my thoughts when I first saw this, it seems like it's a show that has good potential and good content, but is held back by some failings of general TV principles that makes it feel a bit awkward to watch. If they can get past that I think it could become something worthwhile, although Yahtzee is clearly the least bad presenter and should possibly do it solo.

spot on with the awkwardness, that was what initially put me off. it was generally uninteresting as well; i mean, i love games, and i somehow never thought could get bored of watching stuff related to games... until now. maybe slightly exaggerated, but the show was off in some way.

BONGOPHONE SAYS SHOW FAIL BUT TALKING GUD, BONGOPHONE GO CALL BONGOPHONES

My goodness, that guy in the middle, he had the most annoying cock eyed stare ever. Gonna watch the rest after I'm finished cleaning.

By the way these guys do a pod cast for the game mag Australian gamer. I think they should stick to it and let yahtzee do the show himself. Let it be zero punctuation in tv form.

My PC crashed for the first time in 3 years during this show. I take this as an omen. Wasn't very interesting, Yatzee was the only one really good talker, the two others seemed to be idiots. Oh and they filmed that on a Bluescreen or what? because it seems they have some damn edges around them if they move to fast...

I get a uncanny feeling from actualy seeing Yahtzee. To me he is rather a voice then a person

I did write up a page or so, but I’m not going to post all that. It has potential, but currently it’s very rough and the sketches need work. While the presenters didn’t really bounce off each other too well, that will come with time and I would much prefer that to just Yahtzee for a TV scenario. One of his strong points is he’s very opinionated, but when you say things like "fighting games aren’t a real genre" you really need someone else there to say "I disagree" and have some kind of discussion on that point.

From what I watched it seemed like the standard TV videogame show format. Which is maybe the goal but it's a pretty lame. Electric Playground was the only show to do it right. This is just like every other show that's come and gone over the years, which is this awkward combination of skits, jokes and monologues attempting to entertain rather than just be about games.

Any show or podcast I've ever enjoyed has had people I can stand watching or listening to for more than a couple of minutes as well. It may get better later on but I'd start with scrapping all the excess shit that probably took the most time to produce. X-Play was essentially the same thing and as soon as they dropped that nonsensical shit it became watchable again.
