Oh, by the way… You till haven’t taken our QUICK podcast survey (http://www.podtrac.com/audience/start-survey.aspx?ver=1&pid=pKGDw9NEEq8$). C’mon! It takes like 4 minutes.

I'm midway through it, hahaha, lovin the part with the random song coming on.

Something weird's going on. I'm also halfway through...
Doc, when you said that it must be a glitch or something, that sounds suspicious. I think you know more than you're letting on.

Duh, I'm sure you do.

yah, newsbot doesn't just freak out with music by himself, I think this is doc's doing.
and we don't care about water in airplane games

GG, guys.

"The cake is a lie, the cake is a lie, the cake is a lie..."

LOL!

Dave the bad guy.

That is the funniest thing ever!

Is that Doc doing the computer voice?

Wow, I'm gonna go out and get Ace Combat 6 purely based on the riveting description of it being "realer" than other flying games.

i love the portal song coming in half way through :)

Just finished listening to it,
Once more, for 14th time of saying it.
ANOTHER great show guys. :D

..Im loving how the poll I created has been turning up for the past 2 shows aha. :p
Plus I loved that Portal song, Would you mind telling me where I could get a hold of it?

Loved the Portal related ending. made me laugh.

great episode guys...

but, i like some of the games EA has come out with... although like i ranted about in a previous thread, i have a great disdain for big corporations.

Yeah, I can't tell if you guys are just acting this out or not, but it's damn entertaining.

(The song is Still Alive by Jonathan Coulton, from Portal)

Also, EA had nothing to do with the Call of Duty games. That'd be Activision.

Oh man, Best. Ending. Ever. You know your podcast is good when it's more climactic than season 1 of Heroes.

"I know PacManPolarBear already handed you your lunch." - Lono
That was just money.
Ace Combat...yo I REALLY like that title. I don't play much 360, but I wasted a good chunk of weekend at my buds house. My only gripe is the smaller number of aircraft and missions than before.

"I'm back with a vengeance, bitches." - Dave
That was awesome! Welcome back man! You know it's funny when you laugh out loud by yourself.

Great show, as always guys. Keep it up.

The BEST podcast evar!!!!!!½!!!!!!!!!!!11111111ONEONEONEONEEXCLAMAT IONMARKEXCLAMATIONMARKEXCLAMATIONMARKEXCLAMATIONMA RKEXCLAMATIONMARK

Damn you!

My 360 redringed, so I haven't played portal yet!

Do you know what it's like to dive for the mute button because you heard "This was a triumph?"

Great show guys.
I kept waiting for Newsbot to turn into HAL and say "I can't do that Dave".
And thanks for forcing me to download the Still Alive song - it is catchy.

Spooky stuff! That Portal content should come with a discretion notice!

Cunning the twist at the end :P Suspected Doc if im being honest lol

Nice death noises dave.... ery atmpospheric :rolleyes:

Dudes!!! I'm only part way through, but this may well turn out to be the best episode thus far.

Great song, and that was so well set up!

[edit]
HAHAHAHAHA Great twist.

Glad you're back Dave!

I must say, that was the best editing and overall best formed podcast that I have ever heard. I have listened to hundreds of podcasts, and that tops them.

Doc, you truly have a blessed talent for radio and podcasting.

You guys mesh together perfectly, and I cannot wait to listen every week.

I've been listening to the portal song for the past week, just playing it over and over while I'm on the forums and internet-ing... so Iwas kinda annoyed to hear it again on the podcast.

The ending was pretty funny, up until dave said his revenge line I took it seriously and started to get scared. Wow, I am so gullible!

I think this confirms my theory. SarcasticGamer.com ARG!! YES!!!!! NewsBot=AdjutantReflex. So when do I get my SG package with a T-Shirt and signed CD by Doc? Just glad everyone else is "Still Alive".

Ok so Doc is supporting EA because everyone else is bagging on them? Wont we the site the put the last nail in the FASA coffin with Bad Game and everything else we said about them?

I think the Arcade is cool for the causal gamer. Now most of us wont buy it but lets look at it though other eyes. Kid wants Wii. Parent can't find Wii. Arcade there for pretty much the same price. Parent buys 360. Family and kid like 360 or Kid cries because of no Wii and hates parents.

Yeah Alex may not like the RRoD but there are other Shiny Rings he could get! (I really hope I get a article wrote by Supa because of this.)

Wait! We're not making any money from this! F**K THIS! ;-) (I think Alex need the money. Weddings don't come cheap.)

Man. For an episode so scripted, that was amazing. My friend sent me the "Still Alive" mp3, and I know a little bit of Portal humor...

Only, the very ending, after the thank you's, was scripted...FYI.

Glad you all liked it. Don't know how we're gonna top this, but we'll try!

Wow you guys out did yourselves this time XDDDDD good job
I really hope you bring the News Bot in later shows I couldnt stop laughing.

Only, the very ending, after the thank you's, was scripted...FYI.

THAT's what I meant. For an episode portion so scripted, that was amazing. Glad to see you're "Still Alive", Lono! (However wrong about the Wii you are...)

I would have thought that my article and other forum posts would have given that away Ploogle! ;)

XD.

one of the best episodes ever, really funny, and the song was creative, well done, and though out

Backflash, that song was from Portal. I'm pretty sure it's the ending song. They'll probably release the real song next week.

I hate you guys. while listening to this episode on my commute to school, I laughed so hard so loud that the people stared, probably thinking that I've lost sanity.. Would have loved to hear Doc do his one minute of uninterrupted airtime though.

And, this episode Dave finally took you guys out, quite literally!

lulz :)

One my my favorite shows yet. Funny as always, but something about the News Bot and Dave sabotaging the show made it that much better!

Indeed! Dave's taking us out was probably the funniest podcast moment for me. I also enjoyed the newbot stone face style, although you should make disclaimers for people that portal ending song is in there. Also, the "Ahh!" moments, really ephasized the terror. Great Job from everyone.

CAKE, great show guys

A disclaimer would have ruined it. Besides it was an inside joke for forum people and Portal fans.... No disclaimer needed.

Would have loved to hear Doc do his one minute of uninterrupted airtime though.

I agree. One minute, uninterrupted airtime on Amoco. Go!

Pretty dam funny guys.And Dave being the bad guy LOL!
"Now Dave you have the whole show"
"Now thats great and all but its the end of the show,you should have taken them out at the start!"

LOL!

you just keep on trying until you run out of cake.

That podcast was hilarious!!!!

"HAL, you were supposed to take them out at the BEGINNING!!!"lol...were yall faking on the weird song thing?

Wow! Ace Combat 6 is "realer?" Now I totally have to play that game!

Great show guys. Thanks for the Halloween ending. Welcome back Dave.

What a godblastingly good episode.

Yet, maddeningly, there was no 2001: A Space Odyssey reference. This is the Internet you're podcasting to, guys, c'mon.

"Ah, I'm dying!"
...WHUMP!
"Dave? Can you hear me, Dave? Dave? ...Cue the music."

Well, there was a Dave and a talking computer and said computer killing Dave... What? Do we have to spell it out for you? :D

haha that was awesome best podcast so far guys but if i had better headphones it might sound "realer" :)

Eh, I suppose.

Still, a mention of the name "HAL" would have been nice.

i listened again, and didnt hear it, but i could have sworn he said "HAL, you were supposed to take them out at the BEGINNING!!!"

wow I thought the part with the music going crazy was real. Guess I was wrong, or was I?

Lol, that was totally awesome XD
Dave taking over the show is just :o lol
Best ending ever!

EDIT: I almost forgot, I just wanted to say, welcome back Paul Christy :D

Great show guys, but you should seriously think about putting a health warning on them, as you nearly killed me with that one.

No, seriously you nearly did, i didn't get the chance to listen to the podcast to, at and from work, so i thought i would listen to it whilst doing my gym workout, i laughed that hard, i almost dropped a 150kg barbell on my chest.

Note to self, and any other gym goers out there, listen to this podcast in a safe environment.

lono, thanks for the plug, lets see if our new found advertising boosts our numbers.

I've always admired your podcast for its independence and your creativity, but this episode was TEH AWESOMEST PODCAST EVAR, honestly.
All gaming (and non-gaming as well) podcasts are based on the "introduce-talk-say goodbye" scheme. Yours is totally different - even though it's mostly based on the "introduce - make me cry from laughing so hard - Dave, take us out" template, you use the elements that I've never personally encountered in any other podcast. Who else could have thought about a Newsbot being used as a tool of revenge...? Only you, guys.

PS. Doc, every time I look at this small banner-like image that shows up when I play your podcast on my iPod, I just want to scream "Doc, you bastard!". Will you ever change it? ...please? ;)

NP I always take care of my peeps.

Dude,

I have tried eveything to get that to change. I can't even GET a picture to come up in my ipod. It's frustrating.

Use the podtrac player to see what it's SUPPOSED to look like.

GAWD! This is making me mad.

You're currently subscribed to the podcast via iTunes, right?
I, however, use the RSS feed, and the image set to be the podcast thumbnail on its FeedBurner feed (http://feeds.feedburner.com/sarcasticgamerpodcast) seems to be that little annoying banner. If you change it there, it will probably change in my iPod as well.

As to iTunes - if you can't see any thumbnail in your iPod, are you sure you've uploaded it to iTunes (or provided the podcast description with the correct image web address, I don't really know how the podcasting feature in iTunes is solved)? I'm using Linux so I can't help you with this one, hope you'll get the thumbnails working properly.

That was one of my favorite episodes! did the cake thing have to do with portal? because the new VGcats has that too.

What's up Sarcastic Gamer peeps.

Love the "Hacked" spoof song.

Portal f'ing rocks.

The cake is delicious! ... moist

HAL might be mad...newsbot stole his plaything...btw, where is he? I havent heard from HAL in a while...maybe he's playing thermonuclear war with jacob

Great show guys!

Great show! Hilarious as always! Keep up the awesome work, and keep being the reason I look forward to Mondays!

Do me a favor.... try unsubscribing and resubscribing fresh. Just want to test that.

It didn't help. Still the same banner-thingy.

great show as ever very funny i never miss a episode its the best thing on my ipod.

heh it wasn't that scary but good job getting in the spirit. And that random song had me fooled for a second there.

Long time listener, first time poster, loved the episode! Go Dave!

Best ending every, loved the show:) Favorite podcast so far:) well done everyone working on the podcast!

great show as ever very funny i never miss a episode its the best thing on my ipod.

Thanks man,... Glad you joined the forums!

Only, the very ending, after the thank you's, was scripted...FYI.

I don't believe you.

Come on now. Really. The song part would have been impossible without editing and prior planning. That is called scripting where I come from! Not to say it wasn't funny, it just wasn't believable. Believing it would be like thinking Santa Claus is real.

Believe what you will... you probably didn't get many presents as a child either... did you? :eek:

So thats why when I was about 6 Santa stopped coming to the house...

I always thought he died in a terrorist attack.

I hate you guys. while listening to this episode on my commute to school, I laughed so hard so loud that the people stared, probably thinking that I've lost sanity.. Would have loved to hear Doc do his one minute of uninterrupted airtime though.

Oh dude I know what you mean I listen to this on the bnus on monday mornings. I resist laughing out loud for the whole thing but my stiffled giggles do get some heads to turn. XD

Probably sounding like a n00b here, but where the hell did Drew go?

Yeah, were is Drew?

He left the podcast for personal reasons.

That's a pity. Still, I'm loving the current line up!

Great episode just wondering did you actually make a parrody

You should expect a parody in the near future. :)

What was that song based off when you played 6 or 10 seconds of hey there ps3.

I really hate waiting for the next episode to come out! The anticipation kills! Oh well, better one great episode than a half dozen mediocre ones. Wish it was longer though!

I'm going to listen to all 14 podcasts now.

it was hey there delila. nice show guys, top notch as usual

Good stuff. Really liked it when Lono was silenced.:cool:

So FUNNY!!! I really like the ending. "that wasn't funny Dave." ha ha ha

so, i just played portal, and this podcast is funnier X 10

ENDING PWNED GUYS GOOD JOB

Words can not describe how much I enjoyed this.

I wonder...
is any other game realer than the others?:confused:

Hi im new here and just started listening thanks to Zune Podcast support. Im from Podtacular but I love this place. Your show is great and the paradies are engenious!

Keep it up!

Sorry if this is bumping but...this episode is one of my favorites, as soon as I heard the "parody" being interrupted by that other song I totally knew what it was, such a funny song. That game was just brilliant.

I forget if I said this already, but...

...I played Portal recently, and this episode became that much better.
