[whoisscott]

for those who have seen it... will martin have his revenge?

[travislopes]

Well, this episode was......interesting.
I feel that the only thing that held this episode together was Marty. Other than that, I feel that the episode was quite boring. (Sorry if I sound a-holely, but that's what I think.)

[wv1973]

What the H*l* was that. Reminds me of a highschool home movie or something. Is this what we have to look forward to in future Gazette episodes, If so I guess this is one show I won't be following.

Come on guys, I'm sure you could come up with something better than a fruit skit.

[vahnx]

I agree with the Mii.

[kingkilr]

I agree, Rev3 Gazette was cool because it was a real behind the scenes, not some pre-scripted bullshit that has nothing to do with the real rev3.

[embraceware]

Casting my vote for more real behind the scenes.

[synne]

I thin we should forget about this episode and move on.

[tokenuser]

The first rule of Fruit Club?
Noone talks about Fruit Club.

Seriously ... never mention it again.

[eminemdrdre00]

I agree, Rev3 Gazette was cool because it was a real behind the scenes, not some pre-scripted bullshit that has nothing to do with the real rev3.

couldnt have said it better myself

[godmode]

Amen, broseph!
Who the heck finds this weeks show funny or entertaining?
Looks like R3G fizzled out of ideas, before it even got going.

[vincent12234]

Wow, I don't know about that...But I will say like the above poster, Martin is what held it together.

[non-servatum]

This episode was wonderful because it featured lots of beautiful babies. Quit paying attention to MArtin Sargent. He is really really ugly and he is from New York. GROSS. Huckleberry Heather=HOT. Err that chick next to her, HOT. Sarah = HOT. Ok? So what are you crying for. Go outside and jump rope you pussies. EYE OF THE TIGER AND YOU KNOW IT!

[jasonb]

Im sure its tough for sarah and crew to be able to make a good show so often and even diggnation has its off shows were either the stories were bad or the cehemisty was just off. You have to remember Rev 3 has a total of how many shows again? It would be a short lived series of the Rev 3 gazzete if they merely went behind the scenes of every show theyd be almost halfway done with all the shows by now.

Its never going to be as easy to come up with ideas for episodes. You just have to give it time. The show, like all others, will grow into its own.

[masterc]

Wow... what a waste of time and bandwidth. I sat through the whole thing staring at the screen trying to figure out what the hell was happening. If it was supposed to be funny, it wasn't. The previous episodes were very good, so why stray this far from the path?

[mooking]

I did watch it, but I am not going to post anything bad. I did like the fight club idea.

[mooking]

Wow... what a waste of time and bandwidth. I sat through the whole thing staring at the screen trying to figure out what the hell was happening. If it was supposed to be funny, it wasn't. The previous episodes were very good, so why stray this far from the path?

I would think that they are trying different things, so please give it chance to find its way.

[marc57]

I agree, Rev3 Gazette was cool because it was a real behind the scenes, not some pre-scripted bullshit that has nothing to do with the real rev3.


Couldn't agree more.

[mebe]

it entertained me, you playa haters

[arcticfox]

Running out of interesting things to show already?

[pb12in]

That episode was a waste of bandwidth.

Casting my vote for more real behind the scenes.

+1

[crumbles]

WTF. I wish I could have been able to delete that faster.

[tyr]

Wasn't the idea behind Rev3 Gazette to show us whats actually going on behind the scenes?

I think it's great that you keep making new episodes so often, but to be honest, I didn't really like this one :/ I laughed a few times at Martin, but I think acting like this should be in a separate show.

I think you should go back to showing us whats actually going on, even though it might not be so interesting.


but anyways, thanks for a great show, and keep the new episodes coming =)

cheers!

[gi_josh]

Heres another vote for true behind the scenes. I think the viewers of the gazette have a large tolerance for what some may consider boring, as long as it pertains to our beloved Rev3.

Maybe each week, instead of trying to do a broad behind the scenes like in the first episode, pick out one tiny aspect and focus on it. You could do "how editing is done", "the plans for the new studio", "possible pilots", etc. etc. etc.

Basically, while Martin is awesome, he already has two shows where he can act like an idiot and steal the spotlight. Don't turn this one into a third.

[jay]

Honestly, I wonder how hard it is to come up with ideas, if life at Revision3 is busy enough.

Maybe they should follow Alex Albrecht through a car wash.

[jay]

Oh, and I'm not going back to Merlot.

[parthurs]

Well im not even sure if i should drop my 2 cents into this bucket but.... Im going to chalk this one up to failed experiment and move on. Just a hint, us geeks want to see the mundane interaction of the people at the office. This is why we buy the DVD's with tons of commentary, deleted scenes, and even photo's. We want the guts of production not so much what is being produced... That make sence?

[damianvonbarone]

Lame! Martin is not funny - your not comedy writers - stick to what you do best - Tech talk - these people get paid for this?:confused:

[scienceking]

Martin's antics were the only thing that kept me from performing seppuku after seeing this. :(

I won't give this an 'F' quite yet, but instead the third grade equivalent: NI: Needs Improvement.

[andrewpc1]

As someone who pays I was much more happy when I was getting something that other people who did not pay could not get. It made me feel that the people at Rev3 actually appreciated my money. I loved that I was different because I had access to a show that others could not get, and that show was about real life at Rev3

Make the show members only again and show us how shows are really made.

example: I don't understand how editing for any of these shows takes longer then an hour. Isn't it just putting in the intro, cutting out the bad takes, and the putting in the credits. How long does that take. I would assume that your computers are up to the snuff on the power.


also stay away from martin this is not his show

[conorkilpatrick]

This sounds to me like you've never actually edited video before.

[mebe]

I know some of you donate and stuff...but still I can't help but hate so many of you.

[gi_josh]

This sounds to me like you've never actually edited video before.

Conor ventures out of ifanboy to slap down some *****es....haha, I like it.

[sundby]

Im in ur show, wastn ur time.


Do not want.

[therage800]

Honestly, I wonder how hard it is to come up with ideas, if life at Revision3 is busy enough.

Maybe they should follow Alex Albrecht through a car wash.

And yet that would still be better than this episode of R3G.

[dom]

What the f*** was that?? Aside from a new low, I mean?

I'm seriously considering suing Rev3 for the cost of the bandwidth it took to download that.

[thrashmetal101]

Well, we can see that everyone (including myself) sees this episode as pure fail. Hopefully Next episode will have more insider information, etc. I thought the first 4 episodes were pretty interesting, 5 was ok, and 6 was horrible. I think ep 7 would be great to tell everyone what's happening in the studio, what there going to do with it, and all that.

[davesecx]

While the idea of Fruit Club was cute at first, I think this backlash proves that Rule #1 and #2 of fruit club should be strictly followed.

DO NOT TALK ABOUT FRUIT CLUB OR MAKE PODCASTS ABOUT FRUIT CLUB!

I can see what the next episode is gonna be. Sarah opening up her e-mail and having tons of fruit flying out of the computer screen and hitting her in the face.

Poor Sarah. I do feel sorry for her. I am sure her intentions are to make the show entertaining and fun. Live and learn I guess.

[romulusadx]

I agree, Rev3 Gazette was cool because it was a real behind the scenes, not some pre-scripted bullshit that has nothing to do with the real rev3.

Completely agree, only Martin and Jay were slightly funny.

[romulusadx]

As someone who pays I was much more happy when I was getting something that other people who did not pay could not get. It made me feel that the people at Rev3 actually appreciated my money. I loved that I was different because I had access to a show that others could not get, and that show was about real life at Rev3

also stay away from martin this is not his show

Compressing is a pain and takes up a lot of time, also editing raw HD takes a while.

[jc-magnus]

...not a real fan of this episode. Wasn't the Gazette supposed to be about what really happens behind the scenes?

You already have us entertained with the usual programing, so all of these backstage skits are pretty unnecessary.

I want to see what really goes on behind the scenes. I loved everything up to the Infected episode, after that it seems to have taken a big U turn and gone back the other way.

[rvissers]

another vote for true behind the scenes.

[mannapc]

It's quite obvious why this show went free because it isn't worth a cent for the viewers or the VP's paying for the bandwidth and staff to produce.

Honestly, it's supposed to be behind the scenes stuff. I like the tour of Infected's "production area" until I noticed it was just another comedy when really we all wanted to see what really went on behind the scenes.

A company founded on it's users seems to keep failing them.

[darthpilatus]

As part of a new show like "The Sarah Show" or a skit on something Screen-Savery or ATOS'y like what Tekzilla is trying to be then I can dig it.

As the entire premise of a episode of a show that is supposed to be about behind the scenes... not so much.

Oh scienceking, for the use of the word 'seppuku'... FTW.

[weedhappy]

Lame! Martin is not funny... more Tech talk -... :confused:

I'm sick of Martin too. IF there's nothing going on at Revision3 to do behind the scenes, how about interviews with anyone working there? Polls would be more interesting then... I'm trying not to talk negative about the show so... Doesn't Martin have his own shows? I'd hate to add this one to the shows I must avoid, it was interesting , how about updates on the sets being constructed or more tours of local bars? Everyone loves bars (claps hands in excitement). ;)

[arabidturtle]

the gazette has jumped the shark

[firestonex]

Ok. I just found out like 2 hours ago that they made Gazette free for non paying members. Naturally, I had to check it out. Don't get me wrong, I am not one of those people who wrote in whining about having to pay for this show, but I'm glad that I now get to watch them. I am currently a college student, and now unemployed. I bought a few shirts, that helps though right? Anyways, seeing that this was now available to me, I decided to watch every episode back to back. All I have to say it. Wow.

I had no idea how close everyone seems to be in real life. Seeing everyone gather for the digg/rev3 party was so... monumental. It really brought things into prospective for me. I loved the whole Martin and the Fruit club cliff hanger and the fact that Jay tries to distance himself from Gator even on this show. On that subject, let me just say that it was so shocking to finally see Jay as himself. His voice is so different, and those shoes...
And on the Infected behind the scenes episode, I was half expecting to see Jay instead of the Gator there. I would have liked to see a real behind the scenes, but they pulled off the staged one pretty good. Notice how I am trying to stay away from the Gator/Jay thing because I am sure some gullible people out there haven't gotten it, and I don't want to burst their bubble. We all need heros right? Even if they live in a truck stealing wifi. Also, Martin is so funny even when he's around others besides Gator, such as the fruit episode. Infact, I think that whole fruit episode, was probably one of the funniest things I've seen from him in awail. " I founded Fruit Club, and now Seedless Sarah's trying to be the boss of me...She'll see. They'll all see."-Martin Sargent lol.

Another thing I was excited about was Sarah Lane. I haven't seen her since Attack of the Show was good.

One more thing I liked. Well I don't know if I would say liked, More like interested me, and also drove me into a crazed psycopath, was finally seeing Morgan Webbs Husband. WWWHHHYYYY!!!!!!! I hate him so much for being the luckiest man alive!!!!!!! ok now that I got that out of my system, moving on...

Well, like I said, I just got done watching the first 6 episodes back to back. And I have so much I could say. But I just want everyone at rev3 to know how much I appreciate all the hard work they're doing. But is there any chance you can steal Adam and Morgan away from G4? Or perhaps borrow them? Just a dream....

DON'T GET RIPPED

P.S.

I may have been blaming the wrong person for the near cancellation of Infected. After watching the behind the scenes episode I realize that it is "that pipsqueak Louderback" -Martin Sargent
Jim Louderback is the one that needs some sense knocked into him.

[firestonex]

Well im not even sure if i should drop my 2 cents into this bucket but.... Im going to chalk this one up to failed experiment and move on. Just a hint, us geeks want to see the mundane interaction of the people at the office. This is why we buy the DVD's with tons of commentary, deleted scenes, and even photo's. We want the guts of production not so much what is being produced... That make sence?


I second that. I love to just see day to day stuff. People being people. No need to act. Real Sh**. That even means let the Gator rest for a wail. Come out Jay. Talk to us.:)

[firestonex]

Lame! Martin is not funny - your not comedy writers - stick to what you do best - Tech talk - these people get paid for this?:confused:

OMG! it's on now!!!!!:mad:


Ok.... Got to come down..... I better do Yoga like Martin.

ooohhhmmmm...... ohhhhhmmmm.... Ok much better now.

[firestonex]

What the f*** was that?? Aside from a new low, I mean?

I'm seriously considering suing Rev3 for the cost of the bandwidth it took to download that.

Just for saying that you should be banned for life!!!!

[firestonex]

Let me make one thing clear about my views on this episode.

Yes, I agree, the first episodes where great when it was just showing off the office.

I was a bit sad on episode 5 for not seeing the actual behind the scenes, but it's cool.

Episode 6 was not great. There is no argue from me about that. But the one thing that kept the episode togeather for me (that everyone here has forgot to mention) was that the episode was about the Fruit Club. What I am trying to say, is that if this episode came out of no where and I was like "what the hell is this fruit club they're talking about" then I would have been as dissapointed as everyone else. However, the fruit club was mentioned from the very first episode (or was it the second episode, I'd have to double check.) So in a way, this episode ties in with what Sarah was talking about before. Therefore, it wasn't so bad to watch for me. But I guess I"m different like that.

If they wanted to do scripted skit for you guys then let them. I enjoyed it. It's not the end of the world if every episode isn't exactly like the one before it. I like the idea of them mixing it up.

Maybe they should do profiles on the different people who work at Rev3. An episode dedicated to a member of the staff or something. Marty's will be about his rampant alcoholism and his well-known Thai sex tourism.

[sundby]

What the f*** was that?? Aside from a new low, I mean?

I seriously don't think you know what seriously mean.

[jigglebilly]

That episode was truly a disappointment :(

[haqattaq]

Do not clog the Internets with content like this ever again. The Internets tube coming out of Rev3 is clogged with Martins. Work with more people outside of your cube mates.


Speaking of martins..Why is Tom Green on all the gazette shows? Actually, I can't decide who looks more like Tom Green,, Martin or Jay?

Sarah- How bout you do more collaboration with other shows besides Marty's..?
You can do it. Show them you're a fighter.

out.

[nextgenxbox]

Stop hating. This is classic Sarah and Martin!! :)

[darknessgp]

I agree on the end part, not every episode should be exactly like the one before. That said, you're 1 of 1 that actually even considered this episode decent.

[atom12]

... not the best episode. :( Fruit Club is cute but not a whole episodes worth. I really would much rather see the "behind the scenes stuff" than manufactured skit drama. Sorry to sound like a jerk but I figured I would let you know my 2 cents.

[tokenuser]

Without skits like this there would never have been:

u2WGzE_7C_A

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2WGzE_7C_A

Some hit, some miss.

Fruit club as a concept has some promise ... but more as an underlying running joke in other episodes, not as an episode in and of itself.

[masherscf]

I gotta say, I'm not a huge fan of the Junagold. I prefer Empires. They're a hybrid or Mac and Delicious. No, no not a hybrid of .mac and del.icio.us...

[xibalba]

I blame the whiners for the scripted stuff it would have probably been more behind the scenes stuff but no people had to bitch cause it wasn't free. So they decided to change it up. It the crying fans fault....:D

[coolspot]

Like I said on Digg
I cant believe Jim's 1st appearance is in this...

[vahnx]

OMG Sarah read on the latest episode about the dude saying it's a waste of bandwidth!

[firestonex]

OMG Sarah read on the latest episode about the dude saying it's a waste of bandwidth!

Man, I wrote like 6 things, didn't see me. Oh well. :rolleyes:

[sarahlane]

Like I said on Digg
I cant believe Jim's 1st appearance is in this...

His first appearance was in Gazette #1.

[mrpopular]

Ohhhh... Burned!!

[pikamookie]

I loved the banana gavel....and I didn't think Martin was funny. :(

[darknessgp]

I blame the whiners for the scripted stuff it would have probably been more behind the scenes stuff but no people had to bitch cause it wasn't free. So they decided to change it up. It the crying fans fault....:D

huh? They changed it from not being behind the scenes so they could make it free?!! That doesn't make any sense at all.

[rozilla]

I love the fruit club episode!!! I think the banana gavel was great! This is the best show ever. my favorite was Strawberry Stephanie. She's super hot!!!
