Looks like RLM's next project is Mass Effect 3. I hope he covers the whole series and not just 3.
lol, has the potential to be pretty hilarious.

Yeah, I'm considering picking this up with Feeding Frenzy for shits and giggles. We'll see. If I do, I'll report back on both subjects. Probably update the OP with my actual opinion on FF.They've got a Red Letter Media archive collection DVD out today to help fund their next movie. Some of it's exclusive stuff, alot of it's available on the site and it's a few bucks more than I'd prefer, but I still say it's going toward a worthwhile cause, they've put out some really entertaining content.

They were awesome.

I think I'd like their reviews more without the stupid voices and his Plinkett or whatever it's called character storyline. I guess it's done to keep 2 hours of him talking entertaining, but it gets in the way of their usually good insight. I don't mind HITB as much.
Curious to see what they do with ME. Being Star Trek nerds I'm sure they see a bunch of other stuff I usually miss.
I don't care for it and I usually skip it. It just gets in the way really, unique or not, how many dead wife/stripper niece jokes can one possibly take? It's not funny.
I disagree. I find that it adds a layer of humor and irreverence to a more thoughtful and educated criticism. If it was a sixty minutes of talking over clips of the movie and explaining flaws in plot, character development, and so on in a normal voice, it would seem more like a classroom lecture than entertainment.I think I'd like their reviews more without the stupid voices and his Plinkett or whatever it's called character storyline.

Red Letter Media is now a video game review show.

It was alright I guess hopefully it gets better like Half in the Bag.
As a fan of Plinkett and Half in the Bag, i gotta say it was a rather worthless attempt.
It doesn't go in depth, it doesn't have (good) humor, it doesn't have that natural, casual feeling of the HitB chatting, and had too much of those sketches, that felt more out of place than the ones in HitB or Plinkett reviews.
I guess the very soul of Red Letter Media (as far as reviews go, at least) is Mike, and since he doesn't seem big on videogames, i don't see this getting much better.
But i'll give it another shot next time, for sure.
Also, choosing a good game to start with (Arkham City) was not the best idea; it's always more fun to listen someone rip something a new asshole, than hear him praise an average or good experience.. ESPECIALLY if they don't go too much in depth with it.

I thought about the parody thing too, but ultimately i think it's a stretch, when half the video is about "seriously" describing the game.
The satire in Half in the Bag (or other RLM production) is always more clear and obvious.. i mean i always understand when they're parodying something (ending in the Jack & Jill review, comes to mind).
There might be an element of it, especially in the awful opening titles, but it's not exaggerated enough, imo, to see it all as a parody.
I haven't watched the review yet, but does anyone else think it's funny how many different internet shows are starting to use the same, generic, I'm guessing free, music?
I'm not shitting on anybody because I know that licensing is expensive usually, but there has to be more than like 4 free tracks out there.
Too similar to every other game review thing. They should look at the plot of the games or something to make it interesting.
...Basically Plinkett/Half for games' stories.
RLM really wants us to watch the prequels again, don't they?
Now to find a copy of the The Phantom Menace.

WHOA! *lies on the ground, dead* I'm with you, Rez. Such a great segment.This has always been one of my favourites on RLM.
the only thing that was kinda funny is they showed Batman Beyond instead of Batman: The Animated Series
damn when is the next Plinkett review
the rest of this stuff is awful
hate the blonde guy in half in the bag. Its like hes constantly trying to get his buddy's validation.

Mike and Jay are well-suited for reviews of stuff that's currently in the theater, and they don't have much usable footage beyond online trailers, but Mr Plinkett is well-suited for randomly reviewing movies that have been out for 14 years and are available on DVD, and can be ripped apart scene-by-scene.
Half in the Bag is good, and there's very little wait time, but the Plinkett reviews are so epic good that I think they're worth the longer wait.
And while I like the way Mike and Jay do their thing, they're essentially doing the same thing a lot of other people are doing at any given time (talking about current movies). I mean, who's going to tear apart something like Transformers (Michael Bay reboot) if Mr Plinkett doesn't do it? The sheer number of movies out there that could use a Plinkett review is astonishing once you think about it (especially since he doesn't even need to review bad movies).
But while I prefer Mr Plinkett, I can't begrudge RLM for doing what they might more enjoy more instead, like making their own movies, or making unfunny deliberately-bad ironic videogame review shows.
