The unthinkable happened. Lono got a PS3. Of course he kept his opinions on his new hardware to himself, rather than rush to judgement right? If you believe that you’ve probably never listened to our show. Here’s a loose outline of what went down in Episode 32. We’re a tad late getting this out…. sorry.

@ Lono: i believe that they are going to update a patch(1.3) in a couple of weeks,

New VOIP Options:
We have also received a lot of feedback about VOIP stuff. There were a couple of features that players really wanted, and hopefully this gives them a big chunk of their crazy, crazy VOIP desires.

We now allow players to select between PTT and Open-Mic. Players can also tune the voice-activation level so they don’t accidentally broadcast their girlfriend or boyfriend blabbering-on in the background. Players also now get to more clearly see who’s talking. It’s displayed on the right side of the screen. And yes, the picture below is correct. We also now support an “all-talk” server option so that you can enable cross-team trash talk.

and the show was very good, sorry if anyone doesn't like that i posted this info here

"PS3 with a falcon chip" - Lono lol Freudian slip?

About Sins of a Solar Empire -- when pirated, you can't play online, due to the fact that it has a key you need to register, like every other PC game. Since the game has no singleplayer game (other than AI), you have a huge reason to buy.

I did NOT hear Doc crying in the corner. Nope. Didn't hear it. But I did hear a slip up by Lono. For shame.

Hey lono, just an fyi i heard you said the whole psn store isnt "user-friendly" and all but i do hope you know they have special sections where they show all the ps3 games and ps3demos, that way you dont have to go through it alphabetically...

03-18-2008, 06:35 PM
YAY lono I have more respect for you know for having a ps3 also.

Hollister is the suck.

Umm btw for faster to see stuff is use the game tab and for demo look for newest or choose its genre.

Hey guys, awesome 32nd episode. I've been following since the first episode, but I now just took some initiative to get on the forums, it hurts not having ANY next gen console....

But anywho, I have to say I think Lono made the right choice in making his team. I too would rather win than lose with friends.... sorry Doc.

if lono picked Doc and dave he still stand a chance to win. Duck and Animathias would have most likey been on me and truth's team or start there own.I can't speak for them but it would seem it would go that way.We play together all the time and get along.

Lono's got a PS3? - Sweet it's BBQ time, I like my burgers well done!

In all seriousness though I will be very interested in how you get on with it coz, I am seriously thinking of getting a PS3 for the first time. Having seen some of the games coming in the next year, now in need of a Blu Ray player and am really losing my patience with my 360 being so unreliable.

Don't know how you can say Lair is a good game if you traded it in the same weekend you bought it.

Oh and its just coincidence that the podcast was late the weekend Lono gets a new toy.

I spent all day Saturday and a good chunck of Sunday playing it and beating it. It doesn't have much replay value, so I traded it.

Doesn't mean that I didn't absolutely love that game...

^But it does mean you loved it for less than two days. Hardly a long and lasting relationship. :tongue:

^ I didn't know that is how Playswitch worked - damn it thats even cooler, if only it came to uk. :angry:

Still you would never have swapped CoD4 within two days. Didn't you even keep Halo Jesus for longer than that?

Hey, did we ever find out what happened with no one calling Dave "Fergie Ferg" on the podcast? I thought that was one of his punishments or something.

OMG!!! We forgot....The weird thing is... Dave hasn't complained about being called Fergie Ferg at all.

Maybe he likes it?

I never said it was the best game ever, just that I really liked it.

Or maybe he's going with the old "ignore it long enough and it'll go away" mentality...in which case you should call him that for the next 5 podcasts! ;)
