My opinion has been pretty much summarised for me here. Throughout the video I found myself doing something else, waiting for it to get... I don't know, interesting?
That news section at the beginning was... bad. When the other two started laughing, I couldn't help but feel like I was watching three guys borrowing their parents' camcorder. I don't know there was a sort of brain-dead "Hur hur, you just got owned" vibe, and the jokes being of about the same piss-poor quality, being - everyone will tell you - completely overdone.
All the scenes on the couch seemed to be trying to establish the following line up:
The skits were all obvious jokes, though I think they at least managed to deliver the Duke Nukem ones well enough.
The episode needed more planning. "So... now we're going to do this bit, where we... do this" combined with "<Controversial statement!>" "<Improvised counter!>", way to look forced and ill-considered.
The Gushing Nerd's rant was especially bad, but that may have been my mind going "Oh, a rant on a theme of gameplay elements, claiming gameplay is being sacrificed for these gameplay elements. ...What?"
I'd rather not hear the "It's just a pilot" defence. It's a weak defence. Sure pilots will never be as good as the main thing, but pilots are meant to create interest, which this never did. Frankly, I think most of the support is "It's Yahtzee! I love Yahtzee!" and "It's those guys from that podcast going up in the world. Hope it goes well for them" while my opinions are "Noah Antwiler's funnier" and "I could barely get 4 minutes into any of their podcasts".

...or, get plastered.
Or, do them all, especially the 2v2 Defcon.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast...

Yes I need to do those things...
Seriously thinking about a console...old PC isn't up to the latest wizzo games and isn't really upgradable any more but is fine for everything else...XBOX is cheaper but I've always had a bit of a thing for Sony...

That's depressingly bad?
Mind you, around here we're lucky if there is a videogame TV show, much less a good one
For Facebooking types, you can get a free copy of Lugaru for joining some groups/pages/whatever. In short, ninja rabbits, great hand-to-hand combat system. I payed $20 for it a while ago and haven't regretted it.
They also plugged Multiwinia in a top 10 indie-games-for-Christmas list. Nice guys. I can vouch for the first 8.

Wow, thanks. I saw Lugaru a while ago and get excited... then forgot.
Overgrown looks pretty awesome too.
