I am leacing a few things out of this rundown, just because i don't want to spoil anything for you. Please enjoy episode 37. It's all down hill from here.

Truth N Justice 04-21-2008, 01:11 AM wow , by far the funniest episode in awhile . You guys never cease to impress.
Daikun 04-21-2008, 03:48 AM The end was awesome. I can listen to that over and over.
Peace Bunny 04-21-2008, 05:28 AM I got a mention, woop!
viatrophy 04-21-2008, 05:57 AM Great show guys,
I want me a SG mug! :D
So hurry up and get it done. ;)
MightyMutt 04-21-2008, 09:02 AM Contender for the best show ever - I'm going to have to listen to it again coz I was laughing so hard I missed bits.
Lono's Dead Rising complaints and Dave's weird european accent were hysterical. :lol:
Artemis 04-21-2008, 09:30 AM YAY anti-bell is back!
T-shirts sound awesome, wish I could afford another shirt...
I won't be around the day of the GTR VS SG showdown so are you guys going to post the video as a pre-recording as well?
Great show as always.
Shane86 04-21-2008, 10:08 AM Worst Irish accent ever!
Great podcast, very funny (y)
darkwonders 04-21-2008, 12:15 PM for some reason, that anti bell makes my skin crawl. I just can't stand that thing...
I loved the ending though.
mashedPenguin 04-21-2008, 03:55 PM Loving the dead rising complaints :) I am playing it at the moment and was so gutted when those bastards came back. They do stop coming back by the end of the second day though which is a relief. The easiest way to kill them that I have found is to hide behind one of the big trees until they run into it and get stuck.
Then you shoot the gunner in the face. When he is dead go and tear the machinegun off the back of the jeep and use it to ace the other two. The machine gun on the jeep has to be one of the most awesome guns in the game :D
I totally agree about the aiming being useless. Not being able to aim on the move sucks big time. If they ever do a sequel they need to fix this.
CasuallyYoung 04-21-2008, 04:01 PM what was the name of the review parody on youtube?
Biohazared20 04-21-2008, 04:41 PM Man That was an extremely funny episode, great job guys
DeathByWaffle 04-21-2008, 04:42 PM Totally agree with the Dead Rising complaints, especially the aiming. Did some tester actually like that aiming system?
ploogle 04-21-2008, 05:12 PM Great episode guys, but you really should have played my ringtone! :D That'd be sure to get people to listen...:D
Lono_Lives 04-21-2008, 05:19 PM Great episode guys, but you really should have played my ringtone! :D That'd be sure to get people to listen...:D
I'm not exactly sure that I EVER want to hear that again.... :shocked::lol:
Joshthegreat 04-21-2008, 05:55 PM I'm having an SG catch up tonight. I've been seriously busy and haven't had the cahnce to listen to the last two yet. Should be good. :)
Tinman 04-21-2008, 06:18 PM awesome show as usual.
ploogle 04-21-2008, 06:41 PM I'm not exactly sure that I EVER want to hear that again.... :shocked::lol:
:D I'll submit a voice drop-in to Dave, then. :lol:
DaDillsta 04-21-2008, 07:05 PM Let's give away sh** from Daves house and the best part of it is he can't tell his parents. I was laughing so hard this morning when I downloaded this thing.
Tinman 04-21-2008, 07:07 PM I want s**t from Dave's house! gimmie gimmie gimmie!
ploogle 04-21-2008, 07:41 PM Yes! I forgot about the stuff from Dave's house...:D
That stuff would be basically a cult item worth nothing unless you're a SG fan. I would so enter that contest!
NecrisJ1MM 04-21-2008, 10:08 PM Great podcast, had me cracking up. Looking forward to that new shirt for sure!
wittysarcasm88 04-21-2008, 10:34 PM I like that we check to make sure members are male before assuming so now....
Truth N Justice 04-21-2008, 11:12 PM I cant wait to throw another 20 buck your guys way as long as it goes toward lono's bar tab that we are going to rack up at PAX. Oh and my wife saw your picture on the ringtone add and said you look like sam gamgee from LOTR but maybe she is just mistaking you for you true inner leprechaun . I had to listen twice also cause it was so freakin funny
gory zj 04-22-2008, 12:46 AM Good show as usual guys, the slow-motion part had me in stitches. :lol:
Thanks for the compliments guys. I told Lono today that THAT show was my favorite so far. Glad you guys enjoyed that as much as we did recording it.
Dave cut out most of the times where i hacked up a lung... stupid cold.
kman571 04-22-2008, 01:00 AM That's in the running for best of SG. Laughed till it hurt :lol:
Lono_Lives 04-22-2008, 01:28 AM I cant wait to throw another 20 buck your guys way as long as it goes toward lono's bar tab that we are going to rack up at PAX.
Pay my bar tab indeed!
Joshthegreat 04-22-2008, 02:30 AM Not meaning to jump on the band wagon here, but that was possibly the funniest show you guys have ever done! I was dying.
And WHY can't Americans do European accents to save their lives? I suppose it's all for the best, though. The results are clearly hysterical.
Nice job guys.
OkamiUiriamu 04-22-2008, 02:45 AM Lmao Dave you were great. Lets give Sh!t away from daves house, hehe.
Officer Mudkip 04-22-2008, 04:45 AM lol I JUST KILLED THE PRISONERS!!!!! lol
They actually don't sell lucky charms in Ireland :(
but, Strangley Enough, all the Leprechuans have American accents......
lilkuke 04-22-2008, 09:26 AM Great episode. Lots of lines that will go down in history FOREVAHHH!!!
DarthVicious82 04-22-2008, 10:33 AM I think Doc has gone mad with power. Help Lono with ONE boycott by asking the community to send emails...and now he thinks he can control the entire video game blogging world with the community as his minions...
photomaster94 04-22-2008, 11:51 AM the bell is back!!! w00t! i really like the return of both the bell and the reverse bell, and the return of one minuet of uninterrupted air time. when is alex coming back on the show. it has been like 15 episodes and he said he would be appearing on some shows.

Fun ep guys, but what Darth has said jokingly in lies why I wasn't a big fan of the BF/EA boycott. The intended focus was clear, everyone can agree on that, but we could have all done our bit just by speaking with our wallets. When you hoard gaming sites and individuals, in part by using an installed fan base, it came off looking like a publicity grab. 'This boycott brought to you by SC'. The intended message, whenever on purpose or not, definitely got diluted in my eyes.
It seems to hook into a bigger pattern too. Between site surveys, playswitch, regular shoutouts to itunes reviews, t-shirts, the boycott, and now ringtones, it seems like there is an increased push for exposure and revenue. I don't know if this is an oft-product of the site creators working in radio, but it's become a lot more noticeable as time has gone on.

Ring EA and tell them you want to pay for weapons :D
ploogle 04-22-2008, 01:06 PM Ring EA and tell them you want to pay for weapons :D
Yeah...now THERE's a GREAT idea. I wish I would have thought of that first...:huh:

The only way I know how to draw attention to a problem is to draw attention to it. Not silently sitting by and saying to no one in particular, hey I don't like that. We used this vehicle called Sarcastic Gamer as a vehicle for change. Guess what? It worked. Did we get publicity for the boycott? We sure did, but ya know what? If we didn't get any pub from it then that would have meant that we were not successful in our boycott efforts...
I guess it's damned if you do, damned if you don't. I like the damned if you do a hell of a lot better. At least we're using SG as a force for good.
As for the increasing push for revenue, I'm sorry you feel that way, but this site, the content, the time and the podcasts cost money. Real dollars. Nothing is free in life. Ultimately, this site and revenue generated by the site iss never going to supplant our current jobs, but if we can earn money by producing worthwhile content, that people want, why begrudge us that?
We certainly appreciate the feedback, but come on man, I can't do this, three, four, five hours a day for free... No one can.

Lono has spoken! *bows*
DarthVicious82 04-22-2008, 03:26 PM Make one joke and everybody gets all serious. Whatever. I still want my reverse bell ringtone. Doc...seriously...I'm just going to keep bugging you...reverse bell ringtone...chop, chop.

OWNED, Lono!

Holy crap! thanks!
Woohoo, shouts for the homies!

Ya can supaslick get in on an episode? it's been so long.
calmHERETIK 04-22-2008, 09:53 PM hey great job on this podcast guys! keep it up! and for a tip: bring supa back for an episode, two, or forever... please
darkwonders 04-22-2008, 10:22 PM To stop the prisonners from respawning in dead rising, you have to destroy the jeep.
Thanks as well :thumbsup:
I'm kinda late to the whole 360 party because I got it last christmas and just got Dead Rising a couple of weeks ago. Still trying to get used to the controls.
I'm fairly early into the game. Just had my first boss battle with that crazy guy you meet at the beginning of the game.
Tinman 04-22-2008, 10:30 PM Ya can supaslick get in on an episode? it's been so long.
i don't think so...
Mr Eibmoz 04-23-2008, 04:16 AM Hurrah for Doc and Gripshift! Its a fab wee game thats as close as you can get to trackmania on a console. Its Mario 64 of.... driving games. I bought it on PSN and and then XBLA when it came out for the better pad/extra stuff ^_^ Once you get used to the handling and the way it plays its easily one of the top 5 XBLA games.
edit:
To stop the prisonners from respawning in dead rising, you have to destroy the jeep.You totally dont want them to stop spawning. Get a pistol, run behind a tree and when they crash into it take out the gunner or driver from your woodland safety. That massive machinegun you can rip off the back will make mincemeat out of any boss you ever have trouble with later and its a handy net to fall back on.
Digitalistic 04-23-2008, 11:08 AM Lono. Dead Rising. There's a way to keep chainsaws for 27 times longer than normal.
Get three books -- engineering, entertainment, and bladed weapons. All three increase the time by 3x, and they stack. Only problem is that it only works on the super-happy-fun chainsaws that the psycho clown carries around. They respawn. Infinite chainsaw.
Superdingo13 05-01-2008, 06:43 PM the end was awesome! even though I hate Lucky Charms... WHO CARES = )+<
