Was just watching these (Randomwab linked me), put 'em on the frontpage too, but didn't see your thread, but redirected discussion here and closed the newspost

Excellent. It's amazing how they just crack up by the end of Afterlife.

[Carnivol]

Well, I would've done the same, if I had nothing to prepare me for what they'd actually do at that point. But having played the games, it's more like;
"Dear god ... what're they doing? Well ... this is awkward ... does the guy next to me think I think this is cool? Does the guy behind me think this is cool? Man ... I hope my friends don't think this is cool and thus think they like what I like ..."

[Tyrant Rose]

"And going into this room, and now we're here!"

Like...a video game?

[Alkar]

Pretty much sums up how horrible these movies are. I hope they release the next one quickly so I can go back to hoping for a reboot with hopefully more talented people working on it.
The games aren't pieces of art when it comes to plot and stuff but at least they're coherent and make some sense.

As a huge fan of Red Letter Media and a lover of Plinketts Star Wars prequel trilogy vids, I thought this was awful. I can't stand the movies as much as these guys do, but the clips of them all laughing was so clearly fake it was a little embarrasing to watch.

The actual disection of the movies was good, but I actually thought this was one of the weakest videos they've ever done.

[JamJam]

Ugggghhhhhhhh I hated the films Anderson did, but Damnation, that was superb

From their other videos, the laughing is geniune as Rich Evans is set off by the smallest things - we think it's bad because it's a lame copy of the RE5 fight cutscenes, but they don't know where all the awful Matrix stuff has come from all of a sudden or what is going on with the Plagas mouth tentacles. Their description of the Licker says it all. Not up to their usual analysis standards personally, but I think it's because they had some much derp to talk about in only 20 minutes.

i cried myself laughing on this. i must say the dude on left remember me Barry wheeler from Alan Wake.

[Becky's Butt]

The laughter is screechy, obnoxious, and downright irritating.

I'd rather watch the movies than listen to these guys.
