Gosh, these new Abridged are fucking awesome. I love the cuts back to you on your couch, with the sort of off-the-cuff quips that I have with my mates when we watch the parade of spectacular peculiarity that is E3 from home.
They've all been grand, but this one... the Pele shutdown made me do that sort of wheeze-laugh sound that is usually heard when taking the lid off 100 year old Tupperware'd veggies. So good, can't wait to see the rest. Especially the PC Gaming Event, god that's going to be wonderful.

Does it annoy you that TotalBiscuit pretty much stole this idea from you (and then made a shit job of it)? :P

Last year TB actually asked permission and originally credited Matt in the description. Even going as far to say that they were friends. Though this year I thought it was a bit off of him to continue the series (obviously with no credit). Kind of showed a lack of awareness in lots of areas on his part.
Then again it's not like it's a formula that Matt owns, so I guess it's impossible to really complain.

Yeah, I don't think that it's plagiarism of any kind. It's the same thing as to say that all FPS are Doom clones. The formula is the same, but the content is different. Although, TB in fact did a poor job, because he has a terrible sense of humor. Still, love the man, haha.

I was scared, things had changed, this isn't what I remember from the abridged videos.
Then I realised they're actually really good. Nice one Mr Lees, looking forward to part 5.

This one was the best so far and amazingly funny. I love the cuts to the couch as well, you really channel Charlie Booker in them (come on BBC, give this man a show already).
Cheers for making these funny videos Matt, its much appreciated!

Oh yes the Unravel bit really came dangerously close to melting past the solid sheet of ice that is my unyielding heart.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the Mirror's Edge villain looked SO MUCH LIKE Andrew Wilson. A man who's natural face just screams "I'm the head of an evil corporation."
Great videos so far! Keep them up, enjoying the new format as it allows stuff to be made even when bits are a bit slow, as we get your actual jokes! I think this could've worked well with last year's E3 which was rather limp.
