So far I don't think this season is as funny as the first, but it does have its moments. This shit is better than most crap on TV.

EDIT: Might want to watch season 1 first or you will probably be really confused about what the fuck is happening.

The fuck is this shit

 

[Gurkog]

The fuck is this shit

A web series sitcom about a highschool with a curriculum based around competitive gaming.

 

[Excidium]

I see.

 

[Borelli]

I opened one of their youtube videos, saw them playing Call of Duty in real life then immediately closed it.
Hey they have a 5second movie guy!

The show is fresh and original and has a surprising number of competent visual effects.

 

[Metro]

No.

 

[evdk]

No.

 

[shihonage]

No.

Banal.

 

[Metro]

The show is banal.

Merged.

Ha, what a joke, as if any shitty webseries can even do a decent chroma key...

I stand corrected.

Also, the joys of Kickstarter inflation:

Season 1 - We want 75k.
Season 2 - MUST HAVE 636k.

Watching this made me throw up all over my penis. Thanks a lot.

Also, did anyone notice the "CYBER DWARVES" and "DO THE CHAOS DUNK!" at the match screens...?

800k for a crappy web series is just insane.

 

[warpig]

Bleh, disgusting. Fucking gamers. Good idea from a business perspective though, it's tailor made for the sensibilities of modern teenage (and 20-sometging manchild) nerds.

 

[Volrath]

800k for a crappy web series is just insane.

Has a surprising amount of B to C list actors in it. So yeah.

 

[Whisky]

I watched the first three minutes of the first episode.

No more.

You have to admit he's a perfect fit, though.

 

[Gurkog]

The guys behind this series were paid by EA to make live action commercials for Battlefield games because live action game simulation is what they love to do.

 

[Dr Tomo]

Good god I saw 30 min of this garbage on Netflix and made me want to throw a puppy off the bridge. Whole series basically caters to Cod kids who are getting out of middle school or in high school with hopes of being a "pro cyber athlete". The amount of autism packed in each episode astounds me.

 

[Excidium]

But is Felicia Day in it? She's always in anything involving videogames so I'd be surprised if she isn't

 

[Luzur]

...the song kinda reminded me of Back to the Future.

I don't recall seeing her in season 1, but she might appear in season 2.

Haha, he gave us some advice when we were doing our Kickstarter. He's a fan!

 

[Haba]

You have the worst fans.
