[Corax]

[mosespippy]

Gravitic Warp. I love those guys. Have you heard their new album? It Rocks.


Good to hear Gravitic Warp again, but this weeks video wasn't as funny as I hoped.

[The Pious Flea]

The beginning of the video seems to establish a premise that the rest of the video ignores.

Is Steve immortal, or something? How has his truce with the forces of darkness lasted for centuries if this is not the case?

[Vadim]

I would imagine that Steve, and the rest of them, are immune to the effects of time rather than truly immortal.

[Lector]

The forces of Darkness may be evil, but they aren't dishonest.

[Anachronism]

Huh...I imagined living with Goa'uld to go a little differently.

[StoneageRocker]

Huh...I imagined living with Goa'uld to be exactly the same!

Ret-con'd!

[Jaylock]

Hahaha. Excellent work as always, gentlemen.

[emma]

That was really, really funny, guys, but my one complaint is that it was a bit too long. The joke got a little old by the end. It was just a titch too long, I think - but before the end I was in stitches!

And I am surprised no one has asked this (unless they did, I read the past 2 pages pretty quickly) who was Derek? (I think that was his name) as far as I can tell, everyone credited as being in the video was actually seen, and I can't tell who that is.

Unless I am too drunk to figure it out. This is a possibility.

That's... that's the point.

It's just a different style of comedy.

[Captain_Anarchy]

Wow so much negativity. That was good stuff. I enjoyed the immediate death of the new room mate. I imagine death is a pretty big concern when living with the forces of evil.

[Quovak]

Yeah, this video wasn't extremely funny, but it doesn't seem like it was meant to be. It reminded me a lot of the iPhone parody in that it was amusing even if it wasn't laugh-out-loud funny. If anything, the fact that such an absurd situation is treated so casually makes the whole concept more interesting than if it was used for a ton of jokes.

[Lavos]

This video could have used moar paul.

[The Pious Flea]

That's... that's the point.

It's just a different style of comedy.

Hmm... I usually find the tension between the expected and the actual to be funny, but in this case, it just left me wondering what was going on.

[Kneuronak]

NOOOGIE!!!

(Nice effects for the dark warriors' voices.)

[The Pious Flea]

Yes, exactly. It can be entertaining without having to be hilarious - sometimes hilarity interferes with the entertainment.

It's just that this video left me scratching my head a bit too much for me to really immerse myself in the narrative.

Is there a connection between Evil Inc. and these medievalesque Forces of Darkness? Or is Paul just typecast as evil but slightly incompetent leaders?

[Unlucky]

Huh...I imagined living with Goa'uld to go a little differently.

....Damn, now I really wanna see a really well done Stargate parody.
This one wasn't "OMFGWTFBBQ?!?!?!11?" laugh out loud kind of funny, it was a stylish kind of humour, treating a totally insane situation quite normally which just makes the total preposterousness of it quite enjoyable.

And I was actually wondering about if these guys were part of Evil Inc. to begin with...(?)
Nice work with the voices. Although I found they faded from background effect to foreground effect now and again though, if it was intentional it's good though. And if you're wondering WTF I mean, I just meant that suddenly out of the blue a word or two would sound about 3X as loud and poignant as the previous sentence had, and then drop back to where the sentence noise had been.

Finally....lol, Steve. (Also reminds me of Stargate. Steve the Wraith.)

[The Happy Friar]

can we get the evil guys again? They were excellent. perhaps they need to meat up with the hack/slasher that bill plays in a video. (no, i didn't spell that wrong)

[Yukikaze]

Great video.

Paul makes an excellent force of darkness. Ben makes an excellent corpse.

Also, I agree with Happy Friar. Forces of Darkness vs. Mr. Tiddlywinks, please.

[tak197]

"You killed the MAILMAN!"
-"Well he didn't bring the coupon book."

So clearly, the forces of darkness are stinginess and whining. Malum insae, anyone?

[Iverix]

I like how somehow there was an already decayed corpse on the ground. (Not sure if anybody noticed, but I think that's just a plastic skeleton while Steve is giving him a noogie)

[EDIT] Upon further inspection, it is indeed one of you in costume, but the lighting takes the green away from it that is there later.

Also, I didn't quite understand why the sword didn't have blood stains on it when it was pick up from a puddle of blood. Perhaps I'm being too nitpicky with consistency.

Other than that, I really like the premise in which the humour stands on, but I thought your deployment of it could have been better.

+1 for constructive criticism.

Your shorts never fail to entertain me, and that's all that really matters.

Favorite Part: The slow-running scene. Paul looks like he's going to reign like hellfire.

[Metaleaf]

I like that Steve is reading a Dungeons and Dragons sourcebook while living with the Forces of Darkness.

[Lector]

Also, I didn't quite understand why the sword didn't have blood stains on it when it was pick up from a puddle of blood. Perhaps I'm being too nitpicky with consistency.

He said he was cleaning the sword, so perhaps the puddle was dried blood, and the sword just on top of it.

And, yes, you are being too nitpicky.

[Allen!]

Fucking brilliant, IMO. James' delivery of the "I live with Evil. Whoop de doo" attitude was perfect, and the whole idea was just fantastic.

I don't usually gush about your videos.

I really don't want to argue with you, and I didn't need you to reconfirm what I had already said about being nitpicky.

I never have a problem with subject matter in their videos... it's just small things that I pick up on. I know it won't all be perfect all the time...

I don't know if it's just me, but I like it when people point things out that can be perfected... it helps you learn.
