:lol at the fucking pipe banging. I like that guy, i love how he drops F bombs all the time.

I keep thinking i'll give disciples 3 a try, i look at the screenshots and see the decent art and wonder "how bad could it be?"

Great episode chums.

wild arms xf is one of the best games on the PSP as well. Contest reward is actually really good and I would say from past contest entries that the time it would take to enter the contest would definitely have some good expected value.

I listened to this podcast. Great episode and I thought Yazeed (Wrath2X) was a great guest and should be on a future episode. The more f-bombs the better!

I agree with the opinions about the internet and social networking. It seems that as the world gets smaller and smaller, we seem to be more and more socially isolated. I wonder if it will have significantly negative long term ramifications.

It would also be great if I can finally break the habit of being on forums. I shudder to think how many hours I've spent on forums and what I could have done in that time that would have been much more productive.

Thanks again!

I'm 10 minutes in.

My favorite type of foreign student is the kind who latches onto profanities to fill space. I find it weird to listen to people who swear a lot, but people who swear at weird times are even better. More Yazeed!

The fucking f-bombs made things really awkward for awhile :lol

Surprised at the Bayonetta GOTYing. I loved the gameplay but the busted turret/rocket/motorcycle levels really hurt the game for me.

The conversations about the highs and lows and social oddities of the internet were really great. I'm just hitting my mid-20s and I'm already feeling a lot of the quirks that make me out to more of an outcast lately. Crazy hype trains being a big one around here.

But to be fair I've never really cared about any platform launch. They're never that grand, especially in an era where I'm becoming more of a PC hermit than ever.

Enjoyed Kevin's little break down of people being jerks. Just nice to hear someone being sincere and not being some fresh high school graduate doing their impersonation of Dane Cook on their podcast.

Unfortunately most gaming podcasts fail to realize they're not as funny as they think they are. :|

I'm pretty sure Skype has a mute button in software. I'd make sure future guests are aware of this, but at least you guys had some fun with it.

Taking the lyrics out of context, if she's knocking on the pipe; she's already into you boss. :X

Haha, to be honest, the first time I heard the pipes clanging I decided not to say anything just so I could lay that Tony Orlando song as background music every time it happened.

Good show. Bayonetta's a great playing game. I don't think my wife has ever seen me play it.

How the hell do you get an account approved over on that other forum (EB)? The general forums I post to the most are blocked at work. So I've signed up at the other place a couple of times over the last year but my account just gets deleted instead of approved.

Great episode, guys. Always chuckle heartily during my listen. I think I'm on the same wavelength of humour as Kevin, especially after laughing at exactly the same moments after Yazeed's bulldozer proclamations.

May you grizzled bastards have a good Christmas.

Robert has sold me on Settlers 7, the game looked good on the steam storefront but i have never heard anyone talk about it before now. Hopefully it goes on sale this holidays.

Good episode :)

Usually I love this podcast but could you possibly find anyone less intelligent than Yazeed to be a guest. Trying to listen to this podcast was like taking a cheese grater to my face. You'd pull better guests from your local Jr.High.

Other than that I look forward to the next podcast where I am sure I will be interested once again. I guess it's not a surprise as generally I find any GOTY type conversation serves little purpose.

But which 1 of us has the funny podcast with rather complex discussion? Point, you.

First time listening to the podcast, he grated on my nerves rather quickly as well.

Also, their talk about No More Heroes 2 is ridiculous.

Improvisational skills are important. :D
