Anyone ever watched Unskippable?

Basically, these two guys watch dumb video game intro sequences and give them some well-deserved MSTing.

I think it's awesome; what do you guys think? Personally, my favorite episode is their early riffing of the opening sequence of Eternal Sonata (a game I have never played, but if it's all like this intro sequence, I think I'll give it a pass).

Man, I wish these guys were more popular. As is, they exist under Yahtzee's ginormous shadow.

By the way, in commodoreHUSTLE, they detail in like the second or third episode how they got the idea for Unskippable.

My favorite riff has to be Grandia III. "That's the second most complicated hookah I've ever seen!"

Oh yeah - that's what I hate. They're really awesome, but no one cares about them, because they're all watching Zero Punctuation. Not that I dislike ZP, I love it, but it really drowns out all the other good stuff on there. I'm also a big fan of Escape to the Movies. I think Movie Bob is one of the only movie critics I take seriously.

Eh. Never really cared for the MST 3 K-brand of comedy.

Also, they sound like they're stoned.

I would have updated this thread yesterday, but I never got a chance to use the computer. My apologies.

I'm really enjoying this, they guys have obviously watched A LOT of MST 3 K. But it works if you dig that show.

I love Unskippable, it's how I discovered Loading Ready Run.

One of my favories so far has to be their Halo 3: ODST episode. "The United Nations Space Command? What are they gonna do, put together a commitee to look into Covenanant-related issues?"

I'm bumping this cause I want to know what on earth happened to the Legaia 2 Let's Play. Not all of us are american and can watch it live, why haven't they U Led it yet?

I don't mind MST 3 K, but I really think these guys are unfunny.

The Prototype one made me want to punch several civilians in the throat and then throw a taxi at them, which I did.

^ Wait, what did they do in Prototype that was so bad?

Ok the legaia 2 lets play is up now in installments. Too bad the first ep was mostly technical difficulties and only just started the opening cutscene.

Apparently being a member of the publishers club gets you all eps but fuck if I'm paying money for something that will come out anyway, and installments is perfectly fine too.

I dunno why, but for some reason I find even the lamest of puns in Unskippable funny, which is weird cause normally I never or rarely laugh at web original stuff.
