Makelevi 04-02-2008, 02:04 AM My iTunes is tripping in the fact that it shows no new update so I'm just going to download the MP3. Also, that Podcast servey is hilarious when it gets down to questions like "How would you rate the hosts views on Insurance? Restaurants? Automotive? Pets? Cigarettes?" lol
"Interesting" to see the gamers indeed lol! Everyone's expression = :|
Awesome podcast guys! I got my daily dosage of laughter. xD
darkwonders 04-02-2008, 02:38 AM Yeah. I can't find the podcast on iTunes or my PSP.... eh... it's late anyways and I need to be unconscious for a while.
Btw dave, who do I send podcast greetings to? I got a good one for this week :thumbsup:
unohisname 04-02-2008, 03:10 AM I look hard no matter what I wear
VinDali 04-02-2008, 04:26 AM I did not mean to sound like I was complaining about the April Fools Format Dave. I guess I should have added a LOL when I sent that over Live.
regua 04-02-2008, 08:13 AM Not in the RSS feed yet...
Btw dave, who do I send podcast greetings to? I got a good one for this week :thumbsup:
You send them to Dave (dave at sarcasticgamer.com).
MightyMutt 04-02-2008, 09:01 AM Lono likes R6V2 then!
I do agree that it's stupid to have the Commando 553 unlocked straight away - it means I haven't even tried using a different assault rifle and I'm at least half way trough the game.
I also found it stupid that anything you pick up in game isn't added to your inventory. I like the shield/desert eagle combo but coz I picked one up early on I can't put it down if I want to carry on using it. It means I'm using the same weapon through out the whole game - yawn! :shocked:
I got no one to blame but myself coz I played a preview copy, had reservations about it being R6V1.5 and still bought it. I was mainly attracted by the co-op but I wish they just made the original game into co-op and added new levels.
Artemis 04-02-2008, 09:27 AM Hehe I don't smile. It just doesn't work for my face...
IMO if people want to boost then so what, their skill doesn't increase with their rank. Nothing is more fun than destroying an Elite while being a Staff Sargent.
ploogle 04-02-2008, 09:41 AM Yeah, my iTunes is giving me crap about no new episode. Hopefully, it'll detect it before I leave.
viatrophy 04-02-2008, 11:50 AM Great show.
Loved the rant lono. :p
Lono_Lives 04-02-2008, 12:25 PM i was in a pissed off mood... sorry... lol... That game does annoy me though. Wasted potential.
BTW, it's up in itunes.
GideonB 04-02-2008, 12:40 PM i was in a pissed off mood... sorry... lol... That game does annoy me though. Wasted potential.
No not really Lono but it was pretty damn funny you bashing (i am really pissed at you for that) Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 and as usual top marks for a great podcast intermission. Great Ep you guys.
hapes 04-02-2008, 12:52 PM I have to disagree with you, Lono, on your R6V2 rant, in particular about the multiplayer maps. V1 had 3 maybe 4 good maps: Streets, Kill House Redux, LVU Campus (which was merely adequate) and maybe Neon Graveyard. V2 has quite a few balanced maps that have lots of cover spots, lots of areas to shoot through cover at enemies, etc.
While I am a R6 fanboy, I believe I can specify the difference between R6V (both 1 and 2) and CoD4 as far as multiplayer goes:
R6 is more 'set up and wait' where as CoD4 is more run-n-gun. For an old fart like me (I'm 41, after all), the tactical planning is more exciting than the 'run out and get shot' of CoD4. Don't ge me wrong, I don't suck at CoD4, I got up to level 25 fairly quickly, before I gave up on the game to go back to R6V1. But the style of play just doesn't suit me. And obviously, R6V2 doesn't suit Lono.
So, Lono, you're DEAD to me! Do you hear me! DEAD!
OK, not really.
Biohazared20 04-02-2008, 04:03 PM I Think Lono should rant more, its very entertaining
kingofnoland 04-02-2008, 04:59 PM Rants are the best form of entertainment.
Except sarcastic rants of course.
And R6V2 deserves the rants! so dissapointing, i just wasted valuable money on it. oh well..
strika234 04-02-2008, 05:22 PM nice show guys!
funny rant at the end...:grin:
DemonicDerek 04-02-2008, 05:41 PM Rants usually rule, just Lono's voice isn't exactly pleasing to me so I zoned out in hopes that it would end soon! I am gonna go visit the "Me and my shirt" forum and post apic of me as soon as I wash my shirt and wear it again (probably won't be for another day that the pic gets up).
naruto20 04-02-2008, 06:32 PM Lol lono needs to calm down at the end.
ploogle 04-02-2008, 06:55 PM ...am I the one you guys are referring to as the "one guy who actually smiled"?
:D I don't usually smile for pictures, but it seemed to fit...and it's a kinda goofy smile, too. ;)
marshallladd 04-02-2008, 07:44 PM I'm with you Lono. R6V2 sucked in my opinion. Wasted potential indeed. I just playswitched(nice new word there eh?) mine for Army of Two.
Lono, was that rant real? xD Doc and Dave talking over it was awesome...
minefield 04-03-2008, 08:03 AM Love these Hump-day updates, guys. Wets my appetite for the next full episode.
And I request an opening tirade for the next time you feel the need to vent, Lono - should set the tone for the rest of the episode.. :)
Yeah. I can't find the podcast on iTunes or my PSP.... eh... it's late anyways and I need to be unconscious for a while.
Btw dave, who do I send podcast greetings to? I got a good one for this week :thumbsup:
All podcast greetings are sent to me.
crashcrazy 04-03-2008, 02:15 PM I think what Lono says is true, what set RB6V out from the crowd was the locations (blowing people's heads off next to slot machines in full tactical gear just looks so cool)
but in the new one its just "meh".
mrpuggywuggy 04-03-2008, 02:28 PM Great update show guys, Lono's rant was very funny. :grin:
ploogle 04-03-2008, 04:33 PM Just curious, did you get my podcast greeting, and how many do you have in-queue?
OkamiUiriamu 04-03-2008, 08:36 PM lmao at lono's rant.
FEARMASTER93 04-03-2008, 09:10 PM Lono's rant was great! I couldn't help but laugh at it. Lono, R6V2 is awesome, I love it, but that is just my opinion. There are better assault rifles than the 552 Commando too, it just takes practice.
Tinman 04-03-2008, 10:41 PM You know that R6V1 are coming. After all these complaints? It would kill them not to.
Post count=L337!
TeenRacer6 04-05-2008, 02:40 PM Probobaly the greatest part was when Lono said "Im going to sell this game back to gamestop just to piss Ubisoft off" :-D
Louie the great 04-06-2008, 05:30 AM You guys are funny!
Im not even in to video games and you guys are my favorite podcast!
ploogle 04-06-2008, 11:32 AM You guys are funny!

That's the charm of the podcast: you don't have to even care or agree with what they're saying and you'll still be entertained.
Shifty1 04-06-2008, 05:14 PM guys id love to give u feedback....... but i have a zune instead of a ipod....
codinthepocket 04-07-2008, 04:32 PM I Think Lono should rant more, its very entertaining
I agree, except it is VERY entertaining when Doc and Dave are talking about Lono's rant in the background and mocking him while he is ranting... :lol:
Lono, if you didn't already know that, it happens. And it is hilarious! It's purely you to being on the phone while doing the show...
You should come from Chicago to do the show, and then you won't get mocked with your rants... Actually, stay in Chicago. It's funnier that way... :lol:
I know I am laughing at your demise, but even you would laugh at it Lono. I'm sure you do. You love to hear the sound of your voice, don't you? :lol: I'm just messing with you... Keep up the awesome work guys, and Lono, keep up the rants. We need to hear more of your "pearls of wisdom," in a theoretical sense... :grin::thumbsup:
Lono_Lives 04-07-2008, 07:45 PM I agree, except it is VERY entertaining when Doc and Dave are talking about Lono's rant in the background and mocking him while he is ranting... :lol:

OMG... I had no idea... thanks codinthepocket. I gotta call doc about this tomfoolery posthaste!!!
naruto20 04-07-2008, 07:46 PM God lono takes 2 minutes in the update XD.
Tinman 04-07-2008, 11:00 PM OMG... I had no idea... thanks codinthepocket. I gotta call doc about this tomfoolery posthaste!!!
yup, and I'm pretty sure that they didn't get you a birthday present, either. They got you broken hopes and dreams. In the form of DemonicDerek.
