I liked this episode. No outright laughter (rare though for me), but definitely brought a smile and was enjoyable to watch. Especially liked the "leak" and "no news ARG".

Spicy Horse.

Funny episode, I liked the bit about THQ at the end. The guy in the pink shirt wouldn't look at the camera. It was really weird.

Kathleen answered that in the previous thread.

Jer has an eye condition. This has been gone over before.

This is pretty much exactly where I stand. It's a fun watch, not the same kind of humour as the other stuff on PA, so it's a nice compliment to them.

I feel the same way as well, I hope they continue.

Same. PA has that rude humor that we so love. Kris and Scott (Scott and Kris) are irreverent. And LRR employ [strike]polite[/strike] Canadian humor. Getting all three in one place is great for PATV. Now all we need is a snarky game reviewer and The Escapist will have a real competitor for my time.

ronzo

I rather enjoyed the MW3 bit.

that's what the newsposts are for

I'm starting to really like this. I don't know if you guys are finding your groove or if I'm finding your groove, but I've gone from liking it to really liking it.

halkun

I think they found their "groove thang" on this one.

The timing is oh so much better. Short punchy jokes and good pacing on both Graham and Kathleen's parts.

Tonkka

I really appreciate that the intro is pretty much a Top Gear rip-off.

Don't take that wrong, I really enjoy it.

Peter Ebel

This was a good episode.

Sticks

good stuff

looking forward to more

LordFizzlebeef

I'm enjoying this more and more now that you're getting the hang of them.

Gaslight

I have never heard anybody say it "Super-Ness" before. It's probably just me.

PikaPuff

PRO-ject. augh canada! It's pr'ah'-ject. America f yeah.

I dunno. I think I need to read me some subtitles or closed captioning. Might just be the accent or whatever, but I still don't catch all that's being said. And I have to move focus from the mini titles scrolling by and all that; it's hard to get everything. It's more of a personal thing than something I'd rather have changed. Uh, other than wanting subtitles or cc .

But otherwise great episode. I agree with the others that you guys are hitting your groove. If you didn't improve any more than this i'd be fine with it hanging around patv. But I still hope you guys keep improving

creepy comment report

Spoiler:

kathleen's shirt is way better this episode than the other two. it looks like a normal shirt.

babyeatingjesus

If you ever need proof that you just can't win on the internet; complaints about cleavage itt.

PikaPuff

those other two shirts just weren't natural. maybe i just don't know canadian fashion

Tleilaxu

Their accents are barely noticeable to me. Pika needs to go get his hearing checked.

In America.

Where you have to pay for that.

Also, Canadian fashion (I couldn't resist):

Goatmon

Meh.

TheOtherHorseman

This definitely grew on me. I was hesitant at the first episode, but I'm starting to enjoy it quite a bit.

I've always said it that way. Maybe it's a Canadian thing.

faits

that's how my friends and I grew up saying it in seattle

which I guess is kind of close to canadia

TubularLuggage

Great episode. I especially liked the MW3 bit.

I've always said it that way. Maybe it's a Canadian thing.

It might be a western Canadian thing. Here on the east coast, I mostly hear people refer to the NES and SNES as 'En-Ee-Ess', and 'Super Nintendo' (with a few saying it as 'Ess-En-Ee-Ess'). I always thought 'Super Nes' was more of a British thing.

Andy Joe

I've always said "super en ee ess" but I've heard people say both "super ness" and "sness" before.

Ivar

Here in Norway I've mostly heard it called "super nintendo" or "sness"

Gaslight

This is interesting, I would never have imagined that how you refer to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System could be a regional thing like soda vs. pop vs. whatever.

Speed Racer

yeah super nintendo is how everyone I know says it

I have tried to make sness catch on but people ain't buyin' it

Darkness Mundus

Ess-En-Ee-Ess yo.

Framling

I'll be honest, nobody I knew as a kid felt it necessary to add "Entertainment System."

Not like a lot of us were using Nintendo Brand Playing Cards.

Tleilaxu

I pronounced it "SEGA."

Sness sounds like a race of lizardmen. As in, our village elder had his ass fisted by the S'ness.

I can't do it.

Tube

In England I've always heard it pronounced nezz and snezz

Antimatter

we all refer to them as the Ness and the Sness over here

exist

i know it as super nintendo or S-N-E-S

I will see the SNES controller the same way again.

Good thing he didn't have the NES Advantage.
