I was surprised at how much I liked this.  A PA "reality show" seemed like a bad idea initially, but I found myself wanting to watch more.  Maybe it's just made well.

That was actually watchable, except that I hate watching videos on my computer.

Unless it's porn.

For up to 180 seconds at a time.

Sort of reminds me of the pilot they did with Yahtzee, which was terrible.

That was shit, but bearable. Yahtzee's recent DC road trip was dire. I kept watching it, hoping for something entertaining to happen or be said. Until i turned it off.

Oh, that wasn't what I was talking about. He did an actual TV show pilot called Game Damage and it was horrifically bad.

I'm kinda hoping that Charlie Brooker's Gameswipe one-off gets picked up.

I can't get past his lower front teeth.

Edit: Actually, it's mildly entertaining. Of course, I listen to TV shows passively while I work.

I like these.  It's pretty interesting to see their process and the dudes can be pretty funny.  I don't know how many eps they can squeeze out of this but as a long time fan of their comic I'm entertained.

I agree a bit of a Euro take on dentistry.   Orthodontists are the devil and all.


These guys are far more interesting to watch/listen to than I ever would have guessed.

You should grab all the podcasts. If you've got an ipod or whatever you can subscribe and get all the old ones, easy. I think there are about 30 or so, most of them are quite good.

Pretty much off topic, but has anyone played those games? Are they good? I don't keep up with PA, but the games look like old school adventure, which might appeal to me. There isn't anything else downloadable like that (on PSN, I mean).

If you generally dig PA, you will probably like them. The combat mechanics are a bit rougher in the first, but there's nothing like beating the fuck out of a Fruit Fucker with a rake. The writing  is top notch( for PA ), and the visuals are great. I played the hell out of them.

I think they're funny, but I don't keep up with them. Not enough story based downloadable games though if you know what I mean, so if it's good, I'll keep it in mind.
