"Rawr I say. Rawr I say again!"

So good to have a Phailhaus reference in there.

And we find out this cutscene was enitrely skippable. Awkward.

[goat]

Ow! My favorite leg!

I'm so glad you guys noticed the skip button... I was having fits for like the first 2 minutes of this episode because of it.

I submit that Daniel Craig supplies all of the necessary sexy silhouettes for the intro sequence.

Oh and, this is the first GIS result for "midget +Donkey -luchador"



Surprisingly tame.

Though this also popped up, and makes me smile:



You are fast Elomin.

[Elomin Sha]

You are fast Elomin.

I spent the last hour F5ing. It either comes up at 4pm or 5pm UK time.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Can you Guess Who?

I actually have that game, it's sitting on the wall where my camera was positioned for Memory Loss Live! and all we really played was Twister...

[Seraphroy]

Escapist seems to always update at 12 PM EST, so I'm happy because I eat lunch and watch either Unskippable or ZP. Then my lunch goes across my desk from laughter.

So... how bout that... skip button... yeah... Good episode guys, I was laughing during the proxy server bit with Paul explaining how is wasn't hacking.

MITCHELL!!!!

lol nice reference there. I love me some MST3K.

also way to hang a lantern on the "press A to Skip" if nothing was said i think you would have had a lot of angry people.

Great stuff as always, I was wondering what treyarch were planning on ruining next. The game plays a bit like RB6 Vegas weirdly, if I remember the PC demo correctly.

Also...MITCHELL

I had a feeling that today's Unskippable was going to be Quantam of Solace, since you guys mentioned looking at it in the podcast.

My favorite bit is a stiff competition between noticing the Skip Button, blocking Mr. White from updating his Facebook status, and the "3 ... 2 ... 1 ... Rush!" Man, Rush, haven't played that game in nearly a decade.

and the "3 ... 2 ... 1 ... Rush!" Man, Rush, haven't played that game in nearly a decade.

Best worst racing game ever. I kind of wish they would make more of them.

[whyarecarrots]

Pardon my ignorance... but where was the Phailhaus reference?

[Elomin Sha]

"Daniel Craig is James Belmont in Castlevania: Quantum of Solace"

[Septavius]

I was half expecting a "Mr. White right leg crippled" or something along the lines of a V.A.T.S. joke, since the sequence in which he gets sniped slows down EXACTLY like a V.A.T.S. kill.


Critical hit on Mr. White!

[iamafish]

i didn't find this episode as good as other unskippables, mostly because that is actually a pretty decent cut scene. the best inskippables are when they are taking the piss out of really awful cutscenes. nevertheless it was pretty entertaining.

[the amativeness]

Yay lion.

[Evil Jim]

Oh man, they missed the perfect Pink Floyd reference right at the beginning.

"Ok, we start Dark Side of the Moon......... NOW!"

Another great episode. It reminded me that I still have "From Russia With Love" for the PS2, which I have only played part of. It has Sean Connery voicing Bond which is great but couldn't they have picked a less boring movie for the story?

[MrDys]

Holy crap a Mitchell reference!

This is my favorite Unskippable so far.

[Bananafish]

The bulldozer pun was far too funny to me to be considered normal

Not only did Connery do the voice acting for the game, but they let him mo-cap his facial expressions so they could get it perfect. I think I even remember an interview with him where he stated that he'd return to playing Bond again if all it took was voice acting and motion captures on his face.

I have the game, too. And, I'll agree that it wasn't the best Connery-Bond film to make a game adaptation of, but there isn't a whole lot of competition. If you get the chance to sit down and really analyze the Connery-Bonds, there isn't much action to work with. The more action, the worse the plot, imo. So, they did the best with what they had.

Still, Goldeneye, best Bond game . . . ever!

[Evil Jim]

I know the early Connery Bond films don't really have a lot of action, the game is going to overemphasize that anyway. I just didn't care for the story in FRWL. I'd much prefer Goldfinger as a game, simply because that's my favourite movie.

[Narrator]

Getting off topic from the "Unskippable" episode,

I'd have to say Moonraker would make the best Bond game

[Chfan]

The opening joke about favorite legs is about three times as funny if you've seen the end of Casino Royale, which I assume most of you did.

I would hope so.

[Chfan]

Well...it appears I've stated the obvious. Well then!

[Lyinginbedmon]

It seems to be a unified male experience that testicular harm, regardless of sexuality or the circumstance of the harm, causes one to feel sympathy pain.

So I can't help but wonder about the reactions of the film crew when they shot that scene...

[AeroCmdr]

Great Unskippable!

I really enjoyed the RGB joke more than I should have.
