ScrewAttack has a new show over on Revision3, and so far, I’m into it. It’s called Death Battle. In the latest episode, we’re treated to some hypothetical combat between two of gaming’s most popular bounty hunters; Boba Fett and Samus Aran.
There is a definite low-tech charm of the combat between Samus and Boba which I find endearing. I also like the balance between Celebrity Deathmatch-style silliness and legit geeking out in the color commentary. When a show can both make fun of the fact that it’s so nerdy, while be proud of it at the same time, then it’s on the right track.
Do you think I’m blinded by bias because I happen to personally like the guys at ScrewAttack, or do you agree with my assessment that this show is worth spending seven minutes of your life on?
