Zoids is a toy line/ kids show right?

If there is nothing kids like more, its watching static screens and reading with their videogames. That and parliamentary proceedings apparently.

So I realized that the video makes just as much sense if you pretend that the girl's not actually saying anything, just standing on the podium and thinking, while forgetting to actually speak. What we hear are her thoughts, and the crowd's reaction is just their annoyance and frustration at her perpetual silence, that coincidentally lines up with some of the things she says. Try it, it really makes just as much sense that way.

Also, lack of music == incredibly uncomfortable and awkward.

Is...is this a very old game? I can understand cheaping out and writing screens full of text if it was, say, a PS1 game. Even so, moving snow must have challenged the processor.

Also, did you steal the shephard's pie joke from the Goon Show? I sincerely hope so.

[wartjr2373]

The first part made me laugh, especially when you guys were annoyed at the amount of newspaper articles the game expected you to read.

Good episode.

It is an xbox 360 game. That was also a lot of text.

[Mad Madam Mimm]

Wow... how did you guys not commit homicide during the recording of this unskippable? That cut scene made me want to break things.

[RathWolf]

Man, I went in expecting giant robotic animals. Severely disappointed.

Also,

Whatever, spy!

Made me laugh, just because it sounds like they let a 10 year old into their defense council.

For a zoids game the intro seemed to have a lot less giant stompy robots than I would have imagined.

[AlexanderDitto]

Oh my stars and garters. I have never seriously contemplated suicide, but that was perhaps the closest I have ever gotten.

How did you two survive?! Thank goodness for your wit, without it surely all hope would be lost, my precious flame of life extinguished.

If that was the GOOD part of the cut scene, then clearly the developers of that game need to be arrested, tried, and executed for cruel and unusual punishment against prisoners of war.

[Yaxley]

You know what would be better than this game? A movie with Dr. Lee Van Cleef, top secret weapons developer.

[Machalllewis]

Was I the only one expecting an



?

[wartjr2373]

I think the game should've had that at the end of the cutscene, then reveal an actually good game.

[Machalllewis]

Lol.

The ultimate objection. And then after the good game ends it just has a huge

[Sylval]

I don't think it would have mattered most people would probably kill themselves before it got past the first terrible cutscene.

[wartjr2373]

It's a test to see if you're worthy of playing the best game ever made.

[pfloriani]

Least convincing delivery of the line, "I was shocked," ever.

That wasn't a cinematic, that was a story board with delusions of grandeur.

For a while, I was thinking that a better title for this week's episode would be "Unsalvageable," but you did get some laughs from me, so bravo for making something out of nothing.

[karl256]

If I were to go on that video alone I would refuse to believe there is actual gameplay other then press A for the next button

[Emperor Gum]

Maybe its a (bad) virtual graphic digital interactive novel thing?

[OZITOMAI]

man that cutscene sucked balls seriously i used to watch the show and it was great then even another game of theres called zoids battle legends although that game is japanese its alot better than that good on you guys for making fun of a crappy game like that

I agree. Just the thought of a senator folding his arms, rolling his eyes and going "Whatever, spy!" is hilarious.
