Consolevania

[dizogg]

Oh yeah...oops.

Well, you need it to accsess many of the boards there.

Never mind.

Can't you just copy some of the things they have been saying, pretty please? And include home addresses, so we can all go and bully them!

Infact did they say something like the following: 'Consolevania Episode 2 will suck balls. Because Consolevania does infact suck balls.'

[Flint Paper]

Anyone want to send me a torrent of the DivX version?

[The Liberal Elite]

There shouldn't be any (more?) resetting issues. The server was getting hammered to be honest. I've had to put a restriction on the number of simultaneous connections to limit the bandwidth usage and to also make people's connections better.

Cool. I'll try again, and thanks for hosting it. Only problem on my side now is my 'great' 1 gig cap thanks to NTL - Woo.

[Mr. Pin?]

I thought 'The Passion of Chris' was going to be a big bloke arguing as pedantically as possible with everyone about games.

For some reason that really appealed to me!

Your interpretation was good, though

Well I know this is probably the most cliched response ever, but it's true.

From the GC board -

BestGamerPeriod: Ok, that sounds gay

Just managed to catch the first 20 or so minutes and just thought I'd give you my first impressions. Bloody good...especially considering it's a first effort. Amusing, intelligent and not taking yourselves too seriously. I really think you lot could get somewhere with this.

That's probably a bit of wishful thinking on my part though as maybe it's a bit too niche...I mean not mainstream enough for telly. Best of luck to you though and I will do my best to pimp it at Sky where I know a few people. I couldn't be arsed to read the whole thread but I'd be keen on getting this delivered and would be more than happy to pay.

I was thinking that this could do with TV showing too... even on C4 it would get a fair amount of viewing, assuming they didn't inevitably throw it onto a backwater slot.

[CurryKitten]

I've just finished watching it, and I really enjoyed it and laughed at loud several times. I have to say I wasn't much of a fan of the Legend or Hitler bits (everyone else seems to love the Legend bit s though, so just me I guess - and I really don't want to come off negative about it, because I did love it overall), but the reviews and all the other stuff (loved the comedy dub for Siren) was top notch. Loved the opening as well, kittens definately rock.

People have said it before, but I feel I must restate it - hearing people talk passionatly about games is a great thing. Looking forward to the next installment

[teyene]

Just finished watching - really enjoyed it.

Didn't think much of G-Force, Hitler or the Wrestling. Too long, and not funny IMO. Legend was entertaining, and the reviews were excellent - more please.

Keep the captions and quotes on screen for longer, so we can read them.

Can't wait for episode 2.

I think a backwater slot would be suitable for this type of program to be honest. Don't get me wrong though, I loved the show!

Love the show harry, love the show.

[biglime]

Nothing wrong with backwater slots, by the way.

Not if you've got lube and some plastic sheets down.

[DarhkFox]

Just finished watching. I enjoyed it, but i hope things are sorted out for the future.

I dont think it should be so long personally..i watched pretty much all the reviews except for two because i just didnt find them that interesting. The reviews just seemed to go on for too long, and some of the info just went over my head (dont get me wrong besides that the reviews were top notch - very informative).

The shop interview - was it taking the piss or was that for real? It was hard to work out. Either way it was pretty bad.

The wrestling bit i just skipped, not my thing.

The legend bits were kinda funny, but i dont think they worked too great. Obviously they should improve over time though.

nice work.

[Alex W.]

Missed some cracking subtitular humour.

[kev]

that was great, better than i expected and i was expecting it to be good. i thought hitler was good, would have been better if you'd tried putting on a german accent though, i reckon. thought the way he was using his hands, facial expressions and the way he was sitting, stuff like that, was spot on though, had me cracking up.

legend was fucking fantastic, and the gackt interview was as well

the siren dub was very good as well, especially the end bit. and bujinkai looked fantastic, just the sort of game that makes for good tv. that might be something to consider, because morrowind isn't really the sort of thing thats interesting to watch footage of, whereas siren and bujinkai are.

anyway, it was great, well done

[Beertiger]

holy crap the IGN forums are full of little bitchy Americans, and people wonder why the yanks get a bad rep.

I'm gonna help LazyChu pimp it up over at IGN, also gonna tell all my friends about it.

I'm very willing to pay for the next episode after this pilot.

[breaksmith]

I loved the scottish hitler. Far funnier that way.

The only thing I can think of to beat that would be some kind of hispanic hitler, sort of hairy, swarthy and letcherous. CAN YOU IMAGINE? No, no one can.

Perhaps a what Hitler did after the war with him appearing in different guises, hiding out and playing games.

because it's the ever wonderful Bittorrent.

It took me 5 hours to download. I've seeded around 3 episodes worth of data. And I'm still seeding now. Sometimes Bit Torrent is just bizzare.

[Comrade]

I don't know why people are trying to big this up on the IGN boards - those idiots are hardly the target audience.

Wierd.

I downloaded it last night in about 3-4 hours though I think a lot of people were still behind their firewalls because the LED never changed from yellow.

[Sng]

I showed the start bit to my girlfriend (up to my quote) and she was very upset about the poor kitties. Bastards.

Also, she said "it doesn't matter what you call it. It's still a Bloody Mary and you're still a poof for drinking it".

Of course. Those poor simple yankee folk, how could they ever comprehend such high art?

Having said that, I've kind of shot my self in the foot on the PS2 board with a rather hostile and ill thought out reply after the first few responses. DOH!

BTW, my username is Caterplillar_Attack there if anyone wants to lend a hand or just stalk me.

I really think it's too 'British' (or in fact, Scottish) for the majority of people. That's not to say I don't love it anyway.

Any chance of a copy 'n' paste for those of us who aren't members of IGN?

[jeff mills gran]

i loved what i saw of it.. pity the server reset and gave me half a file .

Oh, I agree, they probably won't get some of the humour, but I don't that it can do any harm in brining it to a larger audience.

Just checked out the thread on the PS2 board actually - big thanks to Beertiger and Ed-E for actually posting something constructive and intteligent, unlike me.

Absolutely, and I applaud you for putting up with the flames in order to promote it because I certainly don't think I could put up with it.

[gravity0]

Saw it last night - excellent first show. A little fine tuning here and there and you'll have something really special.

Loved the Siren and Bujingai reviews.
