By far the best Skylar has ever done (All seasons)
neins-0353015 October 2019
Brief intro, this is by far the best work Skylar has ever done it's fun and often over the top but does have a real heart to it. Alright onto the seasons.

Season 1: Back when Skylar first started this it was supposed to be a parody of Let's Plays essentially, he plays a bad game on purpose, it would have more editing than his normal videos, this particular season was about Jaws Unleashed a awful game based on the popular Jaws franchise, what made this season special is that it kicked off this show, it grows as it progresses, and Skylar enjoys how silly the game is, it is early though and he hadn't known how to edit or do commentary very well yet meaning there is a lot of shyness and extra uncut gameplay. 7.5/10

Season 2: This is when Skylar started getting more confidence in what he was doing the commentary and production had been turned up a notch for this season, this season was based around Aliens: Colonial Marines another awful game based on another popular movie franchise, this time being the Alien Franchise. What made this season special is that Skylar grows as an entertainer and you can hear the confidence boost in his commentary instead of shyness, however it's still hampered by some uncut footage and a noticeable lack of enjoyment from Skylar. 6.5/10

Season 3: This was a big stepping stone for the series and set the precedent for what it would become, for the first time Skylar had written a story wrapped around the gameplay that served to connect the episodes together the commentary was not as good this go around but the acting is pretty decent and the production was again turned up another notch (it's still amateur but has a lot of obvious drive behind it). What made this season special is that the motivation to create this was pretty obvious, in a post production video Skylar had stated he had sacrificed sleep in order to get this project done, and the passion is felt despite being the shortest season to date (only 3 official episodes with a alternate ending and brief short skit) the live action portion also served as a stepping stone to the future of the show making a world and characters that we would later see. 8/10

Season 4A: Yep Skylar split this Season into 2, however it's not an even 2 parts. 4A consists of 4 official episodes along with 6 faux Vlogs and 1 small skit. 4B consists of 3 official episodes. Anyway 4A is pretty special as it sets up a even bigger story to follow while the story of the 4 official episodes has not been resolved yet (probably occurring in Season 5) 4A hints at the lore behind what happened before the bad game crew was formed, the 6 faux vlogs dubbed "The Bad Game Sunday Vlogs" help contribute to 4A's story while setting up it's own story aswell and the small skit continues this story, the passion is even more evident here and the story is over the top and goofy as hell. 9.5/10

Season 4B: The second half of Season 4 continues the story from the vlogs and skit taking place after Sam manages to escape Demon KIA's capture, it also sets up the story for next season. 4B is special in that it not only shows Sam's acting capabilities but also his writing as it turns down the goofy nature and light comedy of Season 3 and 4A in favor of dark comedy and character development, while pretty short it does wrap up the vlogs story pretty nicely while also giving the characters more emotion, the passion here is obvious and it's pretty clear that Skylar has bigger plans for the future of this show. 10/10
