Would you like the GB crew to create more time Trotters?

Hmm, it would be nice but they've not made one since 2007, I think we're ok now.
Pretty much my stance on it too. I want to know if people who haven't seen the episodes until now like it enough to see more.
I liked the Night trap one, and the Wu Tang one, but the funnest part was the part where they were commentating over the game. If they could just get a couple QL Through Backs or perhaps name them something else and put them up for premium members. Where they do crappy old games, and show us the funny parts of them. but the animation I don't need.

B. But cut off the last 9 words.
Well, those last nine words are what Jeff said on the radio show last night, that's why I put it there.
B. Time trotters isn't interesting or entertaining. It is trying way too hard and I couldn't get through the first few minutes of the first one they put up.

If it was practical, I would enjoy that. Either that or more QL Throwbacks. Of really bad games.
Not necessarily. They need to be of entertaining bad games. Nobody's gonna watch a Quick Look of The 7th Saga.
Eh, I like them from a nostalgia point but, in all honesty, they don't hold up too well. The only parts really funny anymore are when they're playing the games, and we already get that in Quick Looks.

I know a guy who likes 7th Saga. But he also liked Silent Hill: Homecoming.
Your totally right though, a video of Boogerman would only have to be about 15 seconds long and then you could move on.
@nintendoeats:
I am now soured on Silent Hill: Homecoming. Also, you know a guy who knows what The 7th Saga is? How?
That video would most likely be the protagonist saying "Booger!" for those 15 seconds.

I would prefer TANG to come back.
Yeah I would too, but how? There are only so many videogame movies out there, and TANG covered pretty much all of them.
No, quick looks are more than enough. The writing/acting/animation of Time Trotters just wasn't very good. It all felt too forced.

He really likes JRPGs and the only consoles that he had until 2 years ago were a SNES and a PS2. He played through 7th Saga with every character and got all of the endings. I know about a million times more than him about games, but he has me beat on SNES RPGS >_>
It would be three pressings of the booger button, and then a frustrating and stupid death to demonstrate the terribleness of the gameplay.

Did he hate himself enough to try out Brain Lord?
He never mentioned it, but I wouldn't be surprised.
EDIT: Oh, it's by Enix. Then yes.
I thought the Night Trap one was better than either of the others. But I don't really care if it never comes to pass.
I like the animation style and the silly gags, and the gameplay stuff feels more like MST3K than the quick looks on the site so I'm favour of more.
I still think the Game Room quick looks are waaaay more educational and funny (GiantBomb style). And so are AVGN episodes. Time Trotters just isn't up there with either.
I actually think there are some high quality gags in both episodes, but it feels like it's supposed to appeal to children, maybe something edgier would fly more on giantbomb.
It feels like posting these trot videos is a setup for something, if it's a setup for absolutely nothing that would be a shame.
I think their is some satire in how they present Time Trotters. Yet, I would rather have them or at least QL Throwbacks. Also, Ryan and Jeff quicklooks are some of the best, and when they're on dumbass games they're even better. All in all they're better than half the quick looks.
I know the staff seems to feel it isn't worth the effort. But I love animated Ryan and Jeff. And I want Jeff to have an outlet to do multiple character voices. I dig the complicated subplot where they are in competition with "Nuke.com" that's never fully explained.
All the video content in recent months has been really rough and guerrilla because they haven't replaced the necessary gear yet. I wish they would gear up and staff up to where they can make one new Time Trotters every month. Something that is written and edited can be a nice cherry on top of all their one-take shenanigans.

I'm sad they went with Nuke.com... probably it went back to the early days in Gamespot, but it just seemed like a huge misoppurtunity not to use the ""rival video game website.

Your options are way too elaborate. I don't like their animations, it's way too cheap looking and I think it's not really well made
That's the point?
I won't mind new Time Trotters. But I don't want them if it means less quick looks or resources being used that could be put to better use
They can't even get basic supplies and equipment, don’t count on them getting a show. CBS is a bad joke.
I almost bought a Sega CD a few weeks ago, and watched an almost perfect playthrough of Night Trap on Youtube. Kinda glad I didn't burn $100 on it.
I can't believe I wanted a Sega CD so bad when I was a kid. Other than Sonic CD, I'm not sure what I wanted it for. I think it was just the marketing.
I'd love to see them play more Sega CD games.
