A fair number of viewers took offense to last week's Geometry Wars 2 episode.

This week, Ash and I thought we should explain ourselves.

I am pretty surprised that some of the commenters over at GameTrailers actually were able to have a legitimate discussion about sexism. Still, it was kind of a needle in a haystack thing, wasn't it?

My favorite part was the heart around David Hayter.

Coherent people, on my internet!? Was I the only person who thought the beating scene was legitimately funny?

When he took off his belt I was actually shocked because I thought he was going to rape her... I guess I am the psycho, not you guys...
Watching now, I'm sure it will be hilarious.

Excuse me, I have to go die laughing really quickly.

Good work, Anthony. I had to explain it to my better half how the video would pique discussion on the subject. There is a ton of sexism that still goes on in our society (not just on the internet) and I think that it shows that you have legitimate talent as a director/writer to be able to get people to discuss this with a simple video.

not exactly platonic, but you got something going there. Also, why must you play with my emotions?

For having that last bit in, you could showcase racism against women, by beating them, using copies of ET, and I would still love you.

This video is more sexist than RE 5 is racist.

Also, that's probably the best use of a montage I have ever seen, and I grew up in the 80's.

Excellent video. This has been a fantastic week for videos. ZP was one of the best evar, Arby n the Chief was fantastic, and this video topped both of them.

Amazing. I think this ranks quite highly among the small amount of videos I have laughed out loud at on the internet.

I've really enjoyed watching gametrailers come around on hawp. It used to get raped but now negative comments are getting tons of thumbs down.

I love the Queen bit at the end. It was totally awesome.

Anyway, congratulations on pulling off the (fictional) challenge issued by your sister. Like Ozymandias you pulled off the impossible. I wonder if it was worth the price you paid.

Hmm... If you're Ozymandias, then that makes Ash Rorschach. (What with the gay jokes.)

First off: I also call Retcon.

That was a funny montage though, and that fanart is awesome.

I remember when that song was a part of a huge YTMND meme surrounding the mullet dude who wanted to go back in time.

Anyway, good ep. and nice shoot on GT comments (until rationale discussion broke out! :argh:).

For me this episode ranked just beyond the Bioshock one. And it was very, very close.

So, why don't you guys have an actual tv show already? Cos I'm fucking sick of the shite that is on there 24/7. And I'd happily pay for a HAWP channel.

True story.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE a good montage and you did it very fucking well, but I don't think you guys had to explain yourselves. Anybody who was actually bothered by that Geometry Wars 2 video needs to get the fuck off of the internet.
