Scripted Segments

[masterevilace]

I didn't like Co-op at first, but after a few episodes I definitely feel that it is one of the better shows with actual real content in it. I loved hearing about the game Love, and all of that. Never heard of it until then.

The big thing that gets me are the scripted segments... they're just so weak. I enjoy the walking around the city, but things where they kick the guy out because it's too hot, and they go "oh wait!" open the door, take the robot fan and close the door again. That part just irks me. It's a very laid-back show, with organized discussions (nobody talks over or fights with each other), so when they attempt to act out a little skit, it never flows well to me.

Other than that, I don't think names get thrown around enough. I've never really caught anyone's name during the show.

I absolutely love the scripted segments. Such a unique and enjoyable show.

I agree Zack! The scripted segments is part of what makes the show what it is and I wouldn't want it any other way.

I like the segments as it breaks up the video game talk and it adds a bit of variety.

One of the best segments I ever saw was, IIRC, Shawn Elliot trying to give away a DS game by leaving it on the sidewalk... Touch the Dead, I think? Can't really remember.

A close runner up is the first time I saw the Co-Op Squarespace ad with the disco music. Also, the various intro segments with terrible blue screen work was genius!

Dude that was hilarious!
The scripted segments are awesome and well integrated into the show, I love them :D

Sometimes the acting can be a hit or miss, but I love the scripted events. Dolson mentioned the blue screen one which was my favorite of the Co-Op ones. There's a bunch from the 1Up Show that was quite awesome too (Fable 2 and Fallout Power Armor man).

Just remember that they're not trying to take themselves too seriously with this. It's always been part of the show so I say embrace it, or skip forward.

I probably shouldn't be saying this...due to my occupation, but Co-Op really really hits it right. For me, this show isn't a hit because of the famous hosts or well known people in production. This show is in my iTunes and a must watch because of the awesome content and one of the most innovative formats I've seen with programming. I could go on. All in all, great work guys.

I love the scripted segments. It's like watching really bad movies, the acting is so bad and awkward(sorry CO-OP guys, I still love the show!) that it makes it awesome.

Dude, the names of each person show up at the beginning of segments. I think the scripted segments are better than anything I have seen on G4 or other Revision 3 shows.
