I loved Lono's one minute on why "He hearts animathias" :D otherwise it felt like a more "serious" podcast compared to older ones.

I've just finished listening about Patapon and went to look it up on the internet. It seems that Patapon is $19.99, which is a fantastic price but it looks like in the UK it is coming out for £24.99 - £29.99.

http://www.play.com/Games/PSP/4-/3475749/-/Product.html?searchstring=patapon&searchsource=0

Now seeing as your dollar isn't exactly storming along I make that $50.30. For exactly the same game.

I bought call of duty for cheaper than that on the PC.

Annoyed.

Great show guys, almost finished listening.

Loved the one minute of uninterrupted airtime there lono,
More public beta's!

I will buy a t-shirt, just its a matter of damn pay day. :(
Oh & Dave, That British accent was even worse than the lobster's firing electricity one :p

Hey Doc & Dave's team, if you need a back up player give me a message,
I'll happily kick Lono's ass. :p

Can you import it?

PSP is region free for games just not for UMD's & music.

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=113191

Don't worry. Just like Sony told us months ago, the PSP is region free - as long as you're playing games. The icon does indeed specify a particular region, but only for music and movie playback via UMDs.

Oh & buddy, If you need a good site to import games to the UK use play asia.
http://www.play-asia.com/

Really reliable site, used it a few times, many friends use it all the time.

Thanks for the advice, but in this case

I know that a few things they don't ship, such as large items.
I know they ship for most games.

Is Doc just jealous over Lono's new found feelings for Animathias?

Either way Lono managed to make Dave's uninterrupted airtime's seem throughly professional and Dave's have 68% less man love.

But then Dave manages to make sure that normal service has resumed by pulling out the worst British Accent ever and still forgetting to make it a comedy! Dave your homework before next week is to go do research on the British comedy - Start with The Office and work your way back to Monty Python.

It seems that Patapon is $19.99, which is a fantastic price but it looks like in the UK it is coming out for £24.99 - £29.99.

I feared as much and thats the one reason I won't be buying it.

Didn't MS say that the ability to do a patch on 360 would NOT lead to, what everyone feared would happen, namely that have finished games being released and then fixed afterwards. If you are going to save money, on not playtesting properly or having a Beta, then I want a saving when it comes to buying your game!

Diortem

03-10-2008, 11:17 AM

You do know PC titles that come out in that condition usually fail their first week. (If they get fixed later, the title may survive longterm, but...)....

Case in Point: Unreal 2, and Unreal Tournament 3... (Whole knew meaning to EPIC FAIL! I mean, Crysis beat UT3 to platinum! And it made news for the machine power needed to run it!)

Another great show guys, lono's one minute was very funny. :)

It seems that Patapon is $19.99, which is a fantastic price but it looks like in the UK it is coming out for £24.99 - £29.99.

The best place to buy patapon is www.game.co.uk for £19.99, Sony won't allow play asia to ship any games or consoles to the UK they closed lik sang down for exporting psp, so if you want to import go the ebay route, i have seen patapon on ebay for as low as £16.00.

How come i didn't get in a GCN cod4 tournament team...

I'm good, really, I mean cum-on... don't you like me?

But i am good at Cod 4.

So, if I buy one of your stupid t-shirts, will Doc and Fergie Ferg stop complaining that I replaced one of them on the COD4 tourney team? I mean, c'mon, Lono wanted the BEST players he knew......and I have played with Doc and Dave and.......yea..... I have played with Doc and Dave.

Great show as usual, and I cannot wait until week 10 for this absolute onslaught that will rain down upon you.

Maybe we should do a off the record match, 4 Horsemen vs. Let's Humble Lono?
Actually, nevermind, you guys are probably too scared to have a complete FACE SMACKING happen to you twice.......

Now you stay classy San Diego......

Doc

03-10-2008, 09:27 PM

A great episode, as usual. Lono, your minute of uninterrupted airtime puts all of Dave's to shame twice over. But then he came back with that Martini time comment. XD

I look forward to my Mondays more and more now because of this podcast.
Same for us dude. You guys keep us excited... saying shit like that just fueled us for like 10 more episodes.

Doc

03-10-2008, 09:28 PM

Oh, them's fightin' words.....
It..... is.... on.....

Oh and because of your insolence, you must purchase 2 shirts WITH mousepads. The Mouse pads are quite absorbent. Perfect for say...

loser's tears?

How about I buy 1 shirt, no mouse pad, and you will LIKE IT mister!

So when is this little shindig (AKA absolute massacre) going down?

CaMaRoGuY579

03-10-2008, 10:20 PM

I just ordered one of your stupid T-shirts.....I better get it ASAP!!

Ok, I am sounding like a moron with all this mean, straight-forward talk ;)
Its all in good fun.

But seriously, you guys are going to lose very, very badly.

03-10-2008, 10:59 PM

We're gonna kick your asses so bad you'll have to change your name from Doc to Nurse!

What are you trying to say? Guys can be Nurses. My Dad's a nurse. RN.

Eat it. Oh yeah... that was the best comeback of all time.

CaMaRoGuY579

03-10-2008, 11:17 PM

How about from Doc to Beautiful Katamari fanboy?
How does that sound, Nurse Adams?

ShockwaveLover

03-10-2008, 11:33 PM

Perhaps you guys should invite CaMaRoGuY on to the next episode, and title it 'Episode 32. Talkin' Trash'.

EDIT: By the way Doc, while I've got your attention, whatever happened to this thread? Who won? I want the truth!

If you have to lose right now,I have any problem with it just tell us when.

If your gameplay is anything similar to your grammar, this fight will be a breeze......:)

03-11-2008, 10:37 AM

I friggin' love that game.

03-11-2008, 01:10 PM

BTW Not everyone wanted to quit the game against Team SG after 3 rounds.
I wanted to have our own Rudy moment... Well, o.k. their own Rudy moment as I was just a fill in for those guys.

I guess I'm just a gun for hire in this tournament - Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team.
Well o.k. B-Team... C-Team?? Come on!! I don't stink at CoD4 :wink2:

Great show guys!

There's nothing wrong with the game, only because you don't like it doesn't mean everyone does.. Its all opinion.
I can say the same thing in return, I'd love to hear a 1 minute of uninterrupted air time from you about why you have to criticize games people enjoy with pointless arguments..

I dont drink red bull and i was pissed off at you guys

Why were you so offended?
There was nothing even slightly offensive in it..

03-12-2008, 07:56 PM

Great show once again guys!

I was intriged about the CoD FPS MMO idea, a.k.a. Alphabit Soup. In regards to the nation based teams, perpetual online battlefield with moving frontlines, and a vast world with numerous places to battle; I immediatly thought of Chromehounds. The game isn't that great for most people, but the online aspect fits near perfectly with what you guys were talking about. Add in the FPS and MMO with the CoD look and feel and it's damn near ready to ship.

03-12-2008, 08:05 PM

Again, im another englishman wondering why he's supposed to be offendened
And why has red bull suddenly got all this free advertising? are they the new sponsors? :lol: free red bull for everyone. then again i guess thats not a good idea as we'll all START TYPING LIKE THIS!! :huh:
