Whiskey Media: Happy Hour 08/05/11

Wait. There's a teleprompter?! The illusion has been broken for me :(

Ryan's massive disappointment in everyone is always the most delicious part of the Happy Hour.

And yet, as the host who doesn't do much more than introduce the segments, he should do something about the quality of his show instead of complaining about it like a boss admonishing their employees without giving them better tools.

Ryan does do a bit more than just introduce the segments, he's really good at adding color commentary, but I do agree that his disappointed glares are always a real downer. I just don't think that he understands that we really enjoy the train wrecks, sometimes more than things that go smoothly.

has someone made anything with ryan's fruit ninja pomegranate swiping?

@Max_Hydrogen: If you paid attention you should have noticed that Rorie messed up the hints on that question, he mixed the Bills up.

Lol at the titanic song, that cracked me up.

Titanic was so perfectly timed. AGGGGGDSFDSFSDFSDF

Still boggles the mind that Fruit Ninja got the summer of arcade spot over Trenched.

It has more mainstream appeal (not to mention no legal issues blocking it's release in half the world) and I have to say, they kind of sold it to me here, it looked a lot of fun. If I had a Kinect, I'd probably pick that up.

Oh, and yes, the Tested segment this week was pretty dire.

I always thought the point of The Summer of Arcade was to bring smaller games into the spotlight and give them extra marketing to help their title sell. Fruit Ninja is almost on every device known to man, it's not like it needs the help, I get the feeling it's only on there due to its Kinect support.

Where as Trenched was a small title and exclusive to XBLA. It kind of shows where Mircosofts priority is going right now.

That Titanic song was an awesome touch, great ending! :)

Tony's stubble looks pretty badass.

Great show, btw failed segments can still be entertaining!

Brilliant show, as always. I loved the card game segment, you should definitely do a TNT drinking game out of it!

Anyway, I insta-bought the card game and I will make a drinking game out of it here in Sweden either way, and YOU are welcome to join!

Ryan's face as he goes batshit on that last piece of fruit at the end, is awesome. Someone needs to GIF that.

Well sir, we aim to please.....

There isn't a teleprompter, there is a monitor that shows us what the audience sees so we know when Vinny is effing with us.

Fruit Ninja looks really really fun.

The clip of Ryan slicing up that final pomegranate BETTER be the looping clip on the next "I Love Mondays".

My hollow threat has been issued.

holy shit that final destination youtube video

I didn't get the saved by the bell parody. O_o

That save by the bell video was AMAZING

Even the comic vine segments are becoming more entertaining than the tested segments.

Heh, Woop There It Is lyrics in the promo text for a video? I must be on a WM website.

DC's in the house, jump jump for joy.

Not wrong though. The tested segments are usually the most inventive and hilarious but what do we get for the past 2 weeks? 15+ minutes of talking about coffee and a card game so dull that Ryan moves the segment on only after a few minutes. Defo feel like I'm getting my moneys worth :/

"Is that a kiwi!?"

worst card game ever

Amy good gorilla!

Don't know why you guys do the call-ins if you don't bother talking to the people?

Flawless banana

@ptys: I'm not sure exactly why they've decided to go with the interns answering the questions. Maybe it has something to do with the repeated losses by the callers, but I'd rather the WM crew return to letting the callers answer. I like the interns, but it's cool to let the users play regardless of whether they suck or not.

The black puppy is the super-intelligent puppy. It's come to teach the other puppies how to fight the humans... with cuteness.

That's a great poster.

The Tested segment was a huge dud this week.

Y U no radio show :(

Rorie losing his shit to puppies never gets old. I don't know why but its always entertaining

Tested segment was FAIL, lol
