Oh god yes. Even without playing the Matrix Online I can tell that Ryan did 'Search' when he should have done 'Put' when interacting with the computer. Then again they're not really concentrating when playing. It's just one of those moments where you want to grab the controller out of their hands. ;p "
I was meaning more the whole dating/mairrage section lol the rest of it stopped being uncomfortable during the first episode.

Agreed. It's all just a joke. If you don't think it's funny, then fantastic that's your opinion.
Watching Ryan and Vinny be amazing at the matrix online isn't the point. So sure, you can call them a bunch of "n00bz" all you want. Because that's kinda the point.
And also, granted, this game isn't actually very good at all. =/

I liked this episode a lot more than the last one.


I'm actually pretty amused with how Ryan/Vinny are being treated by the mxo community.  We were all led to believe that giantbomb was going to get its ass beat to hell when, in fact, all the people they've been interacting with so far have been nice and actually very helpful.   So kudos to the mxo community for getting over themselves and showing us a good time.  That is how you give your game a good reputation.

Thanks for reading all the chat windows Vinny, despite Ryan being annoyed. I can make out most of the chat box, but every now and then a word is too fuzzy for me to read.

I think with the combination of the Matrix and a MMO--with a virtual world, with other online players, hacking, machines, and all that other crap you associate with the Matrix--a game like this had amazing potential to be awesome and a total head trip.

Shame that wasn't entirely the case. Or i dunno, i guess it's just not developed well, all of that is in there at least.

Gram Fandango icon on the desktop. Does that work on Windows 7!? I couldn't even get it to work with Vista or maybe it was XP even.

Today they brought everyone in the game up to level 50 (the highest level) and gave everyone 4 billion info (which is money)... so they should have a nice surprise when they log in again.

People really find it hard to watch? Where else will the Matrix Online be documented like this? I think it's actually kinda important that people will always know what the Matrix Online was.

I was feeling kind of bad about the matrix players as ryan and vinny are pretty much shitting all over the game.

Then I found this link on neogaph:    http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/posts/list.m?topic_id=36300029344

My opinions changed pretty quickly. It's basically a bunch of assholes being assholes. They are getting all bitchy about the way ryan and vinny are playing the game and they aren't being too nice about it either. Now I'm sure the thread I linked doesn't completely represent the matrix online community (at least I hope not) but it put a whole new perspective on things.

Anyway, keep up the good work guys... really excited to see what goes down at the end of the month.

Well, usually elevator buttons are on the right side of the elevator. In my experience.

For Christ's sake, can you and the rest of these Matrix Online freaks just fuck off? We get it. Ryan and Vinny don't know how to play your game. Boo hoo. They are just screwing around. They are not trying to offend you or any of your dumb fucking Matrix friends. If you're honestly offended by these videos, then I suggest getting a life. Why can't you dumb asses just lighten up and realize this is just a joke and no one wants to interfere with your little virtual life?

I love all the MO tools whining. Especially the ones who don't know what the fuck they're talking about when trying to insult the GB crew. The best thing I've read so far is that they're trying to get picked up by The Escapist.

What a bunch of whiny little kids. I'm glad their shit is getting shut down.

That chatroom is fucking hilarious. MATRIX nerds are a pitiable bunch at the best of times.

You add the MMO player mentality into the mix and you have one very unstable (but infinitely amusing) cocktail of rage and denial.
