Good podcast guys...loved it.

Halo 3 and Bioshock suck :D

Good grief, its 45 minutes long and I put it up 47 minutes ago. You're fast!

Doc

lol I'm still listening but I'm loving it so far.....Unless it turns really bad towards the end, which I very much doubt it will :)

Guys, loved the show, as always.

Please, please, PLEASE, there is no need for PINK on the website.

looking forward to more gaming nights though, maybe move the time forward an hour or two would be great of us Europeans, as staying up until 5am totally done me in.

nice episode

"I was searching the internet for new stuff to read about on the website, and it was just Halo 3 this Halo 3 that."

The Orange Box? O_O Wrath of the Lich King <-- Okay I know no1 likes WoW anymore but wth?! = / I know you can squeeze in SOME PC gaming, plixkkthxbai :D

Agreed, but you have to admit, Halo 3 is the biggest gaming event of the year, and thus we felt that it warranted a little extra time, as this was our first show since it came out.

Thanks for hanging in there.

Gotya, but I dont have an Xbox 360 (want one, but no monees) :/
Anyhow, great episode keep up the good work :D

Hey guys... Wheres the picture of "A Tree with a book on it," You guys were laughing so hard, and i felt like the fat kid in first grade standing in the corner while everyone else gets valentines day cards...

Besides that, good show guys... I had to make a co-worker listen to the segment on Normal vs Heroic to show him that Normal is for babies... I think he's addicted to the show now, he's DLing the past podcasts lol... Well, looks like another quality day of work is gone, thanks to your show!! lol...

damn alex, you're gonna be stuck like some of the rest of us, but at least you'll have a gamer as a wife! it's really not that bad, but the sex really does stop. really.

Yeah, I just checked today, the annoying voice at 1-800-4MY-XBOX NOW says "your 360 is in the service center being repaired." It's really sad that I'm happy it says that instead of "your repair order has been received"

and Yeah .. it's very cool having a gamer girlfriend, future true Mrs. Supa. ;) I'
m just glad she's more addicted to the Sims 2 instead of Viva Pinata!

Nice job Andy, you're setting an example for the rest of us to live up too!

Great episode guys. Nice job with the editing Doc. I like the extended edition!

Amazing podcast guys! Keep up the good work, already spreading the word of your podcast/site here in cold Finland. Personally I find myself visiting your site atleast a dozen times a day. And get very depressed when there is nothing new on, But boy does this stuff really light up a bad day.

It may have been a jumbo edition, but it certainly was just as good as the normal edition.

Well done.

I too now want to see this "tree with book" picture.

Lastly, a forge map contest would be amazing -- even if there's no prize involved, it's a great way of getting people to make/share their cool creations.

I too now want to see this "tree with book" picture.



For the people that want to see the picture that they are making fun of Lono for being blind, here is Ploogle's picture:

http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m276/ploogle/sg_draw2_color.png

All credit goes to Ploogle for this great drawing. I'm just filling the request that I've seen a couple times now in this thread.

Thanks Yousty. Well done.

A great show guys! :D funny as always!

I have suffered motion sickness once from er....Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza on the PC (May have been down to shame).

Oh and my theory with the Guitar Hero waves. I have noticed that people tend to suffer if they need glasses or have a lazy eye (one doesn't work as well as other).

My girlfriend gets it and she wears glasses and contacts and my bro also gets it with his lazy eye.

any others suffer with it? anyone help or disprove my theory? :P

BTW I picked Ploogle to be in my top three. I wasn't making fun, just an observation! :D

It does kinda look like a tree with a book on it. :P

Oh, and welcome Greedo!

Maybe Han didn't shoot first?

It does kinda look like a tree with a book on it. :P
Except...why the HECK would there be a tree coming out of a toilet for a World in Conflict contest? Logic, Lono...

It's just Lonological! :D Thanks guys, btw. This is the third contest I've entered in the past month, and the only one where I won somehting. I'm just glad I got at least second! XD

My limited editio halo 3 game came scratchless as I expected. Now I feel left out, waah... oh wait thats a good thing YAY! Lol

EDIT:

Guys I can only download the first 15 minutes of the episode, WTF!?!?!

2nd EDIT:

I cleared my Internet Explorer cache and it is downloading the full 41 MB assuming that is the correct size, because before the size was like 14ish MB.

Yay some of docs crying over his weight lol.

Pumpkin!

*stomp*

I finished listening to it (almost said watching but how can you watch sound?)

Good job I had a few laughs.

Lol ms.supa

Great show, guys. I actually really dug the longer episode. It lasted my entire gym workout, and made it a lot more enjoyable.

Keep up the great work.

Oh yeah, how about a mini podcast of Wifes and Girlfriends of Gamers. For whatever reason I really got a kick out of Lono's and Alex's special lady friends.

Damnit I just woke up! That drive to the airport last night really took it out of me. Just finished downloading the podcast and listening now!

Hmm... what would you guys have the gamer girls talk about?

Thanks, now I think I need to go listen to the podcast now! Eek!!

I think the podcast was sweet, loved the Halo 3 cover.

now if only you guys put the part were everybody on halo 3 beat you guys during Sarcastic gamer night.
your team (or team DDL) consisted of:

Cap DDL
Lono lives
Raynmaker
and Dave (i think he was the Mexican zombie)

and Alex, as always, we are so sorry about your 260.

BTW:
Doc, I loved the Air wars.

What? I only got to play for 20 minutes. :p

Oh god it does look like a tree with a book on it! :D

Great podcast BTW.

Oh god it does look like a tree with a book on it!

IT DOES NOT!!! That's CLEARLY a nuclear explosion! My art is flawless! MOVE OVER REMBRANDT!!! :p

Been meaning to sign up for a while and when I finally do my first post is going to make everyone hate me ^_^

I SO disagree with the Bioshock comments that anyone who dosnt think these are amazing is just saying "ooh look at me!!". Bioshock is no revolution, if anything its actually a step back when stood next to its spiritual predecessor. Less choises, less gameplay variation, less potent weapons.... just overall less. You could say it was "consoled", but I'm not one to use that term since i love my consoles more than my PC these days -_-. Actually, Zero Punctuations Bioshock review was nigh on perfect (to the point of "thank god I'm not the only one that sees it!"). Is it a great game? Hell yes! Its beautiful, thick with atmosphere, great voice acting, well told story and sounds wonderful. Is it a classic? No way in hell. When its less of a game than its 7 or 8 year old cousin (that was its blueprint in everything, even story and twists) it fails. So yeah, I think 8.whatever is about perfect for it and these people are spot on. Its more like the "omg! 10 10 10!!" people are bandwagon jumping or getting caught up in the hype. Either that or none of these people have played System Shock 2 (one of my top 5 games ever) or maybe theyve never played a decent narrative driven shooter before, I dont know. All I know is Bioshock does not deserve the endless praise thrown at it. Saying 8/10 is rediculous is rediculous.

I'm nitpicking anyway. One persons piece of crap is anothers heavenly mana. You can ban me now if you like.

Anyway, yeah. I promise to be more possitive from now on. Mostly. ^_^

Oh yeah, great podcast, yada yada, yeah whatever. Toodles.

I have to agree whit Mr Eibmoz about bioshock.

And that Halo 3 is the biggest gaming event of the year For me Halo 3 is JAFFPS (Just Another ****ing First Persson Shooter). I do have to admit that the lead charater in Halo is a good one i can't realy see whats so unbelievable great about Halo 3. Plz enlighten me!

Is it a great game? Hell yes! Its beautiful, thick with atmosphere, great voice acting, well told story and sounds wonderful.

Hahaha, how in the world can you admit all of that great stuff about the game and then only give it a 8/10? I'm pretty sure everything you just listed there is the very definition of a great game.

I would love to play a game that you think is a 10/10. My guess is, based on your scale, one doesn't even exist.

Yousty, Heavy, and Mr. Ebimoz, take the Bioshock stuff to another thread please.

Hey ploogle.... Your Uncle Sam looks like a Terrence and Phillip character from south park lol... Looks like is it should be "I WANT YOU ... to Pull my finger" lol...

hahahaha andyg...

btw lono (i believe) i appreciate your taste in "toilet humor." <--- the pun to rule them all.

and i don't think you hear enough of the word "douche" in everyday radio. that was fun. :)

Yousty, Heavy, and Mr. Ebimoz, take the Bioshock stuff to another thread please.

Heh, I probably should have found the Bioshock thread, but it was directly related to the podcast and I'm I'm really lazy.

Yousty - you can have all those things and still have weaknesses in the gameplay that detract from the whole experience. As for an example of a 10/10 game.. I'm sure they exist, they are just very very rare. Fallout 2 would be one in my opinion.

Anyway, last I mention it in this thread Lono. Promise :cool:

and i don't think you hear enough of the word "douche" in everyday radio. that was fun.

Dude. My life is like, complete now. Thousands (probably less. :p) of gamers have now heard the word "Ploogle." That's been like my goal for the past...three...four years?

Explain yourself......

Dude, I can't explain. I started to like it because it's such a ridiculous word, albeit a cool one. It's just amazing that Doc said it! :D

Great podcast guys. just got done listening :)

DOC - where is your wife? If its a podcast tradition, the tradition must continue...

Yousty, Heavy, and Mr. Ebimoz, take the Bioshock stuff to another thread please.

They are discussing something related to the show. I'm cool with it. DDL?

My guess is Lono was just upset because our discussion wasn't about him being on all those other podcasts.:p


It's all good, I said my peace about Bioshock and moved on. Thanks for the backing though, Doc.:)

When did we talk about bioshock during the podcast? Maybe in ep 9.... just didn't want the thread turning into the Bioshock is great/sucks thread... just a little housekeeping.

DOC - where is your wife? If its a podcast tradition, the tradition must continue...

YES. DOC. GET YOUR WIFE ON THE PODCAST! And maybe Lono's mom... :p

YES. DOC. GET YOUR WIFE ON THE PODCAST! And maybe Lono's mom... :p

Don't you mean dave's mom?

i think dave's busy watching princess bride now. :D

Hahaha, nice one Ala Douche.

He also better be working on that public apology after he's done watching it if he wants to save face on these forums.

I havn't finished listening to it yet, but the part about the ps3 truck theft is hilarious.

Wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

Wasn't that a really old news story? I mean, funny, but I heard it months ago.

Wasn't that a really old news story? I mean, funny, but I heard it months ago.

um no. it was a fiction friday article from two weeks ago. Turns out, it's like the most popular parody article we've ever done according to the stats... Wierd, huh?

Don't you mean dave's mom?

Uhhh....ya. Sorry. Got a little confused...

It was so great, but I think it looked like a tree with a book on it

Ok, I am now a total Lono fan for LIFE after hearing the one-minute rant on Rothbart. This just hit me in a personal spot in my heart... great episode guys! (and Roth, we all love ya!)

Pretty good podcast but has to be one of your longest nice one =)

The only time I can remember even remotely getting motion sickness, is from playing a flight simulator for 3 hours. It kinda gave me that feeling you get after you've been looking into a fish bowl for a few minutes, and then look away. Oh, I guess Guitar Hero a little bit too.
