The Eurogamer TV Show - Episode 7

Hmm. The WoW==drugs thing gets very boring very quickly.

Can we not have a bit more on the actual games, and less filler?

:O

Jesus, just watching the first 10 seconds of that made me want to wipe my characters and walk away.

Whilst I like johnny having met him in the flesh, surely a less melancholy voice might be a better listen? It's not all about the video...

Very entertaining. I especially liked "the laugh"; it just works. :)

As always, EGTV delivers.

I couldn't even be bothered to finish watching it... that was a 5 second joke dragged out for an entire episode. Worst one by far.

Come on guys, it's quite amusing really.

I think some of you have missed the point of EGTV. I don't think it's supposed to be Cybernet.

Anyway, good show. Always entertaining to see bigger geeks than myself exist.

I agree, the drug joke analogy worked for a minute then became really unfunny.

Ahhh the IT-guys hat was irritating... flickering with 10fps... that's 10 flickers per second if you must ask.

"You don't have to worry about the paedophiles who lurk around every street corner nowadays, it's great."

o_O

Worst. Dad. Ever.

i thought it was funny. spindizzy you need to take a chill pill. i reckon it's worth watching.

who is the dude in profile??? is he a eurogamer writer? do we know him?

"You don't have to worry about the paedophiles who lurk around every street corner nowadays, it's great."

o_O

Worst. Dad. Ever."

I would rather my child stayed in and played WoW instead of being out on the streets of London.....

You'd rather your kid were indoors glued to a screen and a mouse running around in a virtual world killing things, than getting some fresh air & exercise.

Hmm.

I'm not saying kids shouldn't play videogames but... blimey.

Clert, you will hook up again, you will.

You will.

Yeah, the running drug joke got old after about 10 seconds and isn't good satire.

Sorry chaps.

Johnny Minckley is fucking terrible at voicing these shows. TERRIBLE. So little cadence, so little enthusiasm, a bit too much smug laidbackness. Obviously he's going nowhere but please send him on a voiceover training course.

Seriously.

i thought it was gr8

Woo yeah!

:)

a bit too much parody.

That's stretchin content quite a bit. Nevermind the joke. Especially considering that EGtv isn't a weekly thing.

Ha, I thought it was hilarious. Yeah, the drug thing got tired for a bit, but it was kinda funny that they just kept going on about it. 'Sides, it's a good meme virus for bringing attention to eurogamer from a business point of view, innit?

"Games website shows children how to shoot-up." - Daily Mail

CLERT WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE. SEND MONEY TO US BEFORE WE REVEAL YOUR SECRET!

Oh wait, your name is in the credits anyway... Bah!

:-)

Ban this sick filth!

You can't drag one joke over a whole episode :(

Well as an admitted WoWholic I enjoyed this a great deal, was also nice to see Bertie on there confessing his addiction :)

"There is no real life, only afk"

i'm glad i never got hooked by warcrack. some bloody weirdos play it

" that was a 5 second joke dragged out for an entire episode. Worst one by far."

Word. I kept thinking 'ok, now they're going to stop this silly gag' but it NEVER HAPPENED!

You guys are sick this is the funniest thing documentary I've ever seen! I'm glad that I'm clean, but I wanna try this now, I wanna!

For once I'm actually glad that we still can't download podcasts and Video because I would have felt cheated if I'd wasted hard drive space on this.

Thought that was a good show, especially after hearing some of my mates stories

So obsessed did they get with their 'reality' server that after a particularly nasty PVP kidnapping event (!) a pair of them refused to be in the same room as each other. In real life. Idiots.

its becoming a trend that at least one out of every 3 gamers know another gamer who is hooked on this game ... sad in some ways but damn.

Haha. Haven't seen it yet but looks like alot of WOW ladies are crying all over these comments because of the episode. PATHETIC!

Lol at you crayzee Eurogamers and your crayzee editorial angles!

In my opinion this is a better format for attacking games TV. EuroGamer spend too long on each topic:

(Got the link from the mutliplay site, the show covers i29).

Come on people lighten up a bit, i though it was funny, never dabbled with this online crack so good to see how there poor souls got pulled in

Luckily WoW sucks ass, and I have something called "taste," so I won't be getting hooked soon.

Oh yeah, Owen-B, spot on with the voiceover.

once again i think we're all a little to scathing of poor johnny's documentary. i enjoyed it (and i dont know a thing about WoW) and i think its good, free entertainment. Its interesting to see games being discussed in the 'real world' and not just written about on geeky websites (sorry EG, I love you really...) or in geeky magazines.

I enjoy EGTV, think its a great idea that is well produced and am looking forward to the next episode. bring it on.

Yeah... this is really annoying, to the point that I could only get a minute in :)

Very damn funny!

As someone who has yet to be hooked into the underbelly of the internet mmorpg beast! I found this video very funny! It was poetry! It reminded me a lot of Brass Eye or The Day Today!

More humour like this!! :D

thumbs up!

i think £8.99 is pretty good for a whole month 'hit'...

better than £8.99 for like a 5 min hit of crack - or if you're a sex addict, a budget handjob from a aged tranny-granny down a seedy ally somewhere....

eww.. on that thought i'll stick with wow thanks :)

I thought that was pretty good, maybe it dragged out a little long but i enjoyed it more than the last couple of episodes.

"Haha. Haven't seen it yet but looks like alot of WOW ladies are crying all over these comments because of the episode. PATHETIC!"
Just to make it clear.
I've never played WoW
And don't intend to.

The EGTV episode was still sh**

It's amusing, but I do have to worry that the **SATIRE** is undermining the fact that WoW *has* harmed people's lives. I'm not calling for a ban or anything, but seriously... it's tiny bit offensive to go "har har, people say it is a drug, but it's not a drug! You eat drugs, you don't play them. everyone knows that" when actually, it is harming some people.

I know a couple who got engaged, bought a house together, and split because he was playing WoW too much, not to mention the dead babies in korea. I rarely see a few of my other friends who got sucked up into it... and if I go round their house, I have to be satisfied with watching them play. And it is a social thing, but every social interaction on there forms an enabling relationship.

There are definately people who can deal with it responsibly, but seriously... a business model based on trying to keep people playing for as long as possible IS going to result in a game design which stretches your enjoyment out for longer than it probably needs to. I worry a bit about people who don't have such great self restraint - who are predisposed to developing addictions, even if others *are* enjoying it responsibly.

But I guess you can't make a billion dollar omlet without cracking a few eggs. Although, with at much money at your disposal, you'd think you could buy a machine which *could*.

I have a huge sense of humour, and I'm so funny my peers are always laughing at me, but Johnny simply went on waaaaaay too long. It was simply yawntastic, and nothing to do with "having to chill".

Come on Johnny. Come on.

Oh Clerty stop making such a fuss and get yer ass back here.

We've scrapped the dkp system now. ;)

Brilliant!

That simply wasn't funny. If you're laughing out loud at that level of satire then you probably find knock knock jokes funny.

First EG show that, for me, was genuinely uninteresting.

BTW what about that twat who thinks turning his kid into a nerd is ok because of paedophiles being on every street corner? I guess he believes everything he reads in the Daily Mail.

What an unfunny yawn-fest. The only episode I haven't watched to the end.
