Normansanzo 03-26-2008, 08:57 AM Cool I can't wait to get the T-Shirt. When the shirt arrive that is going to make my day :lol:
regua 03-26-2008, 09:07 AM I'm just hoping the T-shirt will take less than a year to arrive in my mailbox.
Painkilla05 03-26-2008, 09:11 AM Hooray! Shirts!
unohisname 03-26-2008, 09:51 AM I can't wait for my T-shirt
Lono_Lives 03-26-2008, 10:56 AM The t-shirts should be mailed out by friday.
Artemis 03-26-2008, 10:58 AM Yay, T-shirts! I loved this episode above all others and I hope by some twist of fate that maybe just maybe some of the fanboydem will reduce. Or it will backfire and lots of new members will be removed.
Just an out of the blue question what happend to Supaslick? I know he left a while ago but I thought he was going to appear on a few HDUDs.
Caldezar 03-26-2008, 11:47 AM ZOMG! How could you make a mockery of my love for a system with that toaster rant!? ATARI will rule you all! I bought one back in the 80's, and they're announcing the release of a game for next year! Take that all you that said I was a fool! (Although 'Blu-Ray bagels sound awesome...)
viatrophy 03-26-2008, 12:22 PM Great show guys. :D
Im still waiting for my Team NEB shoutout! :p
MightyMutt 03-26-2008, 12:38 PM Probably the best HDU yet, Toaster argument was genius. :lol:
Dave took the 1st T-shirt? Did he used to work for Gamestop?
Bauer22 03-26-2008, 12:50 PM Dave took the 1st T-shirt? Did he used to work for Gamestop?
ZING!:thumbsup:
PopTrogdor 03-26-2008, 02:05 PM i really want a blu-ray bagel..... :P
ZayneAshe 03-26-2008, 02:31 PM Easily the best HDU you've made so far and I really needed it :w00t:
I will say that I too get tired of seeing so many locations boil down to a melting pot of arguments over this is better then that just because of whatever, and it never ends once it starts. I remember once posting on a site about how I didn't want to buy a DS at the time, even though there were a few games I was looking forward to, because I knew that Nintendo would just release a new one 6 months to a year later and I'd decide which one I liked more after that. That is if I still was willing to get one. You should have seen the retarded flame war that sprouted just because I stated my opinion on Nintendo's redesign practices. In under 24 hours, it went from page 10 (I believe thats the page I posted on) to over page 450. Sure, me and Rothbart had our fun with the controllers issue a while back, but we stated our points and moved on ... rare do I find places that that actually happens and it makes me very proud to be a member of the Sarcastic Gamer Forums ... even if I don't get all that much time to post here.
Also, let me say I'm very happy to hear that the shirts are in and I'm very much looking forward to wearing mine ^_^
Keep up the good work guys!
Chexd 03-26-2008, 02:35 PM This show looks really interesting but im trying very hard to not listen to it. I have two weeks worth of shows stockpiled for when I go to France.
I am only just coming to terms with no connectivity, information and communication for a week (sad but true) so hopefully the shows and my ipod will make the 8hour drive more interesting.
From the show notes though I agree that N4G is definitely not what it once was.
Lono_Lives 03-26-2008, 02:49 PM Im still waiting for my Team NEB shoutout! :p
Keep waiting!:roll:
viatrophy 03-26-2008, 03:09 PM Keep waiting!:roll:
I shall. :tongue:
xibxang 03-26-2008, 03:12 PM Apologies if I'm being a pain in the arse here :)
Lono's prediction should have said that he's going to appear on the http://gamerdork.net podcast, not gamerdork.com.
The .com version links to a lady's livejournal that shows pictures of her trip to Puerto Rico. Us dorks aint never been there. :)
Again, apologies for being a pain in the arse.

Rofl! Yeah, I knew I got it wrong when I heard the show again this morning.... Much apologies!
I'll be on Gamerdork.net's podcast that's supposed to come out Friday.
DemonicDerek 03-26-2008, 03:27 PM I slowed it down and all I heard was uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh very slowly... ok I didn't slow it down but I figured it might be funny to someone.
The only person who is relatively close to fighting the most would probably be me... a month or so ago (whenever I had the hate lono sig and stuff)...
DanceDance 03-26-2008, 03:36 PM Jesus, guys. I actually had to pull over during that toaster argument, cause I was laughing so hard I couldn't see.
"There's not that much bread that works in your toaster!"
"Well we're gonna get it...it's comin' out this summer!"
Absolutely gold, guys. Keep it up!
Maulin 03-26-2008, 04:16 PM Frigidair is sooooo much better, it's insane. That was great you guys. I was laughing so hard. You guys should do pointless arguments more often. By the way, I was wondering, why did you guys stop doing the Paul Christy reports? I think the last time you did one of those was ep. 25.
Diortem 03-26-2008, 05:02 PM I nearly fell over listening to the "Blu Ray Bagels" comment. And you are right... it is insane, and this is one rocking place to see these arguments dont last.
crashcrazy 03-27-2008, 06:53 AM lol, I think its time for another "This Week On Lono" GCN spoof.
Lokishot 03-27-2008, 08:27 PM I've been listening to this podcast for quite some time, now.
But seriously, you guys need to stop with the bullcrap. You're not open minded about any console except the 360.
"And for the people who say, we only speak about Xbox 360 or whatever, I mean we spent a whole episode talking about Xbox 360 RROD."
Yes, that's kinda the point. You spent a whole episode talking about the 360. Did you ever spent a full episode on any other console?
Do you even consider the Wii a console? Just last Hump-day Update, you said that none of you had a Wii and that Brawl was just a copy of melee, without even playing it!
And the PS3 don't seem to be worth more to any of you. Every time Sony tries to make a new feature, you say that it just a copy of another
feature of another console or you just bash it to the ground.
If you want to make a Xbox360 podcast, fine with me but don't go telling other people that you're "open minded" and then bashing another website for doing the same thing that you do.
/rant
On the lighter side, I'm happy that one of you got yourself a PS3. It might actually bring some variety to your podcast. And believe it or not I did laugh out loud at the toaster argument.

Hey man chill out. Lono and Dave just got PS3's and all they have talked about is Lono's PS3 for the past few podcasts. so i dont really see what your complaint is.

You don't seem like the kind of person that laughs out loud much at all... :undecided:
Welcome?
AlmightyEmperor 03-28-2008, 07:18 AM Im listening to it right now.
I wonder what the toaster argument is!
Lokishot 03-28-2008, 11:11 AM Maybe I was little harsh with you guys but it just get on my nerves when people tried to act holier than thou like you did in this episode.
And for Lono_Lives: I'm usually filled with rainbows and sunshines.

They do too talk about other consoles. The reason that they focus on the 360 more than the others is (no duh if you actually listen to them) that they all own a 360, and up until now none have owned a PS3, so how could they really focus on a console they don't know much about? It's kind of hard to talk about another console if you A) have never played it or B) only read about it.
"And the PS3 don't seem to be worth more to any of you." ...and they're supposed to like each console the same amount? It's completely okay (and not closed-minded) to favor one over the other.
Reality check: Unless you've actually really played Melee and liked it, you're not going to be excited with Brawl. Especially when you have probably only seen videos of it, and aren't a huge Nintendo fan to begin with.
The only closed-minded one here seems to be you, my friend. I'm assuming that you own a PS3 and Wii?
On a side note, would you guys consider me a sponsor if I sent you five bucks? :D
DanceDance 03-28-2008, 05:53 PM Wow, I'm glad SG's anti-fanboy stance doesn't have any merit at all!
INSERT SARCASM HERE
ploogle 03-29-2008, 12:22 AM Oh wow. Other people posted before I did. Crap! I should type faster next time.
