Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin: The Sims

assbuttz

I’m really happy with this week’s episode.

This is the first of many episodes  shot and edited by Justin Yngelmo (Vamp from the MGS4 finale), who is taking over much of production while I’m at Gearbox working on Hot New Gamez™.

The awesomeness (if indeed you feel it awesome) of the ending is thanks entirely to him. I would have never thought to cut the scene like that — partially because I’ve become such a creature of habit that I don’t try anything new, and partially because I’m too lazy to look for music unless I absolutely have to — but, to me, it really works. Davis’ incredible cackling doesn’t hurt, either.

    Awesome episode! And congrats to Anthony and Ashely, but which one? DUN DUN DUUUUUUN!

  3. HouseOfNerd says:

    Hysterical guest appearances as usual

    “Got any other siblings we don’t know about”
    “Yeah”
    “Wait, what?”

    and Davis’s cackle was awesome

  5. rawkeye says:

    Automatically among my favorite episodes, but what happened with the last 10 or so seconds?

  6. rawkeye says:

    Also, though I know this is sorta internet-scuzzy, I submitted this to /r/gaming on reddit if anyone has an account there and wants to give the crew some more visibility.

  7. feitclub says:

    I apologize for confusing the two Ashleys. Won’t happen again.

  8. Giant Lenin says:

    One of the best episodes ever! The ending was perfect :)

  9. “That’s number two: don’t kill my wife.”

    Can anyone tell me Ash…ly Burch’s last line before the pool scene? I can’t make it out and I’ve been driven mad in the attempt.

  11. chazzhay says:

    LOL, best HAWP in a while! Shame the whole pool ladder things doesn’t work in The Sims 3. I hate Drew Carey thanks to The Sims 1, stoopid bitch stealin’ mah guests.

  12. s-fury says:

    bad cut at 1min and whats with the music playing after the flashing destructoid ending? Maybe Justin should work a little harder.

  13. kalidanthepalidan says:

    Great episode. I loved it.

  14. Danny Araya says:

    I think the awkward, quick cutting dialogue is really really funny. Actually the awkward cuts in general are really working for your show, I think you guys should do more episodes like this one. The only gripe I had was said above, couldn’t tell what Ash said right before the pool part.

  15. Darkandroid says:

    The ending made the video. Though Ashly saying Sims 3? made me lol.

    The cackle was just brilliant. Who would of thought she could act so evil.

  16. Joe N says:

    Best episode I’ve seen in a long while. It’s the kind of awesome that sticks in your head and makes you smile more than an hour later. Thanks for that!

  17. Z80 says:

    This is one of my favorite episodes.
    I actually had to pause the video when Ash said “I thought I did Once Upon a Pixel,” because of Laffs. Actually, I had to pause the video three times in this one for that reason.
    The other two pauses were when Papa Burch answered “Yeah,” to Ash’s question and when Davis (it feels strange to call her that because it’s such a personal thing BUT WHAT THE HEY) was cackling.

  18. grumpy says:

    “That’s life….life on the streets.” This had me on the floor laughing.

  19. Dante says:

    I thought it was hilarious, but I think the editing could have been a bit better.

    Also, more maniacal cackling. The video where you force feed Ashley and then laugh like a madman is one of my favorites, and now your wifey does the same. Hilarious. And kinda cute. :P

  20. Phill says:

    Out of curiosity, are you actually getting married, or is it just for the sake of the jokes?

  21. Rob says:

    I miss the days of the yellowish, not-color-corrected episodes..

  22. derka derk says:

    I liked this episode, but I think there were a few parts that were sloppily edited. For example, I couldn’t understand Ashly’s last line, and the gag after the credits felt sloppy – the cutting was too fast, it would have been better if it didn’t cut to her speaking parts in the middle of the first word being said. Other than that, I did like this episode. It was funny, and I love The Sims. Can’t say I haven’t killed a few the way Ashley does in the end, haha. And congrats on your new job, by the way!

  23. hyun says:

    Hey Ash, anthony,
    I’ve watching the hawp serie for a long time now, nearly from the begining. Well forgive for my bad english, I’m french. And that’s why I’m asking you a request. There’s often a moment on your videos where I cannot understand exactly what you said. Well it’s not as if I didn’t picking up anything, but I wouldn’t be able to repeat what you said. It frustrates me sometimes.
    So that’s why I’m making you a request: could you put subtitles for you next videos? It would be so great for me and people who are in the same case (I hope i’m not the only one). Or maybe you could upload a version with subs, and another one without for those who doesn’t want. Or also forget this if it really bothers you.

    can i just become a part of the burch family so i don’t have to wait for strenuous (not really) amounts of time to be humored by you folks? i promise i won’t shit on the carpet. regardless, i greatly enjoyed this episode. the beginning was fucking awesome. “hey ash…ley davis”

    ps a double dragon 2 themed episode is long over due.

  26. shirobee says:

    Hah,
    that was a nice ‘pat’ on the back you gave ‘Davis’ there… I loved how loud it was.
    Seemed very appropriate..
    ..if your gay.
    ;-)

    actually that used to be a habit of mine (patting someone on the back when giving them a hug, I think my brother still does it.)

    I’m surprised that you didn’t joke about how there are 2 Ashley Burch’s now.. well I guess this episode did, in a way.
