[2+2=5]

2.5?

 

[snap0212]

1 + 1 you say?

Best I can do is 1.5.

 

[slaughterking]

I put it into Wolfram Alpha and apparently it is 2.

 

[Jb]

1.9999999

What do I win? A new 8-4 cast? Sweet!

 

[Pie and Beans]

Plunging in solely to hear if theres distasteful amounts of spin for the Fez chaps.

 

[Oni Jazar]

Lol Secret guest from Cheapassgamer and they talk Foosball... who could that be...

 

[WrenchNinja]

Aww, was hoping for some more Persona talk.

 

[Team Filler]

I'm afraid to listen. INCREDIBLE 3DS XL makes me think they talk it up big time, and I don't think my wallet can take another pre-order/day 1 console after the hurt my wallet took during the steam sale.

I'm guessing JJ might be the one against it.
And if John was there, he'd probably be the one to defend it.

I saw a XL today and it's wonderful. :3

 

[HamPster PamPster]

Oh wow, two weeks and thats the game line up we are greeted with? They must be very busy. Could it be related to the recent round of Monster Hunter teasing from Capcom hmmmmmmm

 

[zroid]

8 - 4 + 1 + 1 = 6

 

[Curufinwe]

Lol Secret guest from Cheapassgamer and they talk Foosball... who could that be...

I'm sure it's going to be an exceptional podcast.

8-4 podcast + otaru = 1 fairly drunk Cheapy on a train ride home

 

[LTWheels]

Is the intro music a version of Marble Garden Zone from Sonic 3? It sounds like it to me.

SPOILERS!!

Skipped ahead so as to enjoy the rest of the podcast without a shoe waiting to drop. Not tooooo much defence, although the quoting of the absolutely non-applicable 40,000 pricetag grates a fair amount because it paints Polytron's situation as being more in the corner than they are and the overall apologetic tone rings false coming from Mark "I will fuck your shitty game's eye cavities" McDonald.

Kinda glad CheapyD is in on this one in place of John as his brand of grumpyness drags it back towards how most feel about the thing, and despite being FRIEND OF THE SHOW PHIL FISH, they essentially um and aah about him being an asshole that quite simply shouldnt post words on the internet if he wants his company and games to just be judged on their own merits since its clear even after an 'internet break' the brainwork of "maybe I shouldnt put the console manufacturer supporter of my previous 5 year dev'd arcade game on blast" is just something he can't manage.

Toejam and Earl!

 

[Celegus]

Argh forgot to put it on my zune to listen to at work today! Curses!

 

[Cheesemeister]

Listening now!

 

[Neuromancer]

Can't wait, CheapyD's always a great guest. Keep pushing them to play Saints Row!

 

[firehawk12]

I wonder if someone actually does know who the brother-in-law is. lol

 

[LiK]

Technically released on my bday in Japan time, thanks JJ.

 

[Jb]

Maybe one of those "Hohohoho" "Aaaaaah?" "He!" dudes?

 

[Neuromancer]

Happy birthday dude!

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Ah, John's gone, huh? I was hoping he would be on to talk about whether or not he finished Spelunky. I still haven't heard a single person on a podcast talk about the grueling process of actually finishing the game.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

There is a disturbing lack of JJ's waifu pictures in this thread...

 

[jbug617]

Maybe one of those "Hohohoho" "Aaaaaah?" "He!" dudes?

he mentioned he was in the Goldeneye commercial so it has to be 1 of them.

[StuBurns]

They really misrepresent what's been shown of Versus.

 

[Wario64]

CheapyD should do an entire Cagcast with that voice

 

[Prophane33]

Didn't you mean this one?

 

[jbug617]

Didn't you mean this one?

it's most likely that.

 

[Takamura-San]

I can't believe that I agree with mark and JJ for once....

I prefer Kiki's and Totoro to mononoke ....

I feel that my soul is leaving me.

As for mai waifu, I read that it came from the azumanga anime

[metsallica]

Hey 8-4 peoples, just wanted to let you know that I look forward to your ear-thing more than any other ear-thing. It is the gooderest.

Apologies for thread disruption; that is all.

 

[Harlock]

Talking about animes, Yamato 2199 is a fantastic remake of 1974 original serie.

[Emitan]

Whenever CheapyD plugs the CAGcast I remember the only time I listened to it where he just talked about spiders. Never listened again

;~;

 

[Huff]

JJ, you say the nsmb demo was challenging? Can you compare it to sm3dl and nsmbwii difficulty wise

 

[Man God]

Another majority Japanese gaming podcast on the Japanese gaming podcast!

[Smiles and Cries]

[The Bookerman]

Toejam and Earl!

Shit I thought it was Sega Channel Intro Music

 

[CheapyD]

I hate you

*pic removed*

I hate you more.

 

[LiK]

Happy birthday dude!

thanks!


whoa, dat spider...

 

[Codeblue]

At first I was surprised that Mark hadn't heard of waifus, but then I remembered that I only learned what they were via GAF avatars.

Also I agree that Mononoke wasn't Miyazaki's best work but it was still totally awesome.

Giant Spider

Interestingly enough, as big as that spider is, it can still fit comfortably inside your shoe.

 

[firehawk12]

Can they crawl into your ear?

No joke, it was as big as my head.

That was my plan all along!

 

[Alucrid]

You just ruined this thread with that spider picture.
