      Thanks for positive comments, I couldn't believe it but somethingawful really likes it as well!

      "Okay, that was really stupid and not all that funny."

      "Hey what was that one horrible internet video game show with the socially inept nerds? I hope you know which one I'm talking about "

      "You should wear a funny hat during these."

      "I think its way to serious about being funny. The talking doesn't really feel so natural."

      "you know what i'm fucking sick of this. I am sick of people with no talent and no personality getting access to good equipment to create with. You don't deserve it. You have nothing to offer.
      If you have any brains, and any respect for your fellow man you will give everything you own to someone more creative, entertaining, and socially adept."

      "Nearly any $250 digital camera can record pretty good quality video and Windows Movie Maker or whatever comes with Apple computers can create a good looking video with a little know-how.

      As far as the show goes, don't make any more episodes, thanks."

      "I really wish people would stop trying to create internet shows based around video games."

      "It's like having a public access show, but less effort is needed."

      "I'm the kid behind the counter in the khakis in the last store you visited. The chubby fellow on the right makes really funny faces when you pause the video,and it looks like he is using every ounce of willpower to resist eating the skinny man next to him.

      "Well I guess one thing you have over Mega64 is that your fat guy is fatter and uglier."

      "Zilliox can't read autocue for shit because he's not a professional presenter, so don't do it. Just talk naturally.

      The whole show reminded me of the bit in Wayne's World when Rob Lowe takes over and fucks with the show."

      "fleabug is the worst and I hate him."

      I'm still in disbelief that a GS manager told him they created a false shortage of SSB:B copies. haha
