[Chairhome]

Yes! Long awaited! Can't wait for the SNES talk.

[sprsk]

Just to let you guys know there will be a lot more snes next week!

 

[Oxx]

Haven't listened to the MGS episode yet! Too frequent!

This is what happened to me. Ugh, and the iTunes store on my iPod always takes hours longer to update.

 

[NewFresh]

Getting spoiled with all this 8-4 goodness.

 

[Raye]

Perfect! I've still got the MGS podcast in my listening queue and a long commute coming up.

 

[StuBurns]

So, am I going to hear people rant about Nomura for no reason?

 

[HamPster PamPster]

So, am I going to hear people rant about Nomura for no reason?

There is always a reason

 

[meppi]

Just to let you guys know there will be a lot more snes next week!

Very nice as I was a bit disappointed reading how it's only 1 hour long.

If it's anything like the NES one, this will be incredible.

Really wish you guys would get together for retro podcasts more often as I enjoy them so much more than any of the current gen podcasts out there...

 

[slaughterking]

I demand pictures of JJs butt. No way it's that big.

 

[Celegus]

::updates podcasts at home, no 8-4 Play::

Same here, but luckily the direct link works (everything else is blocked).

Thanks as always for the thread LiK!

Edit: And more 8-4 next week! And more and more and more!

Also, having no butt has got to be worse than having a big butt. Because when you have 0 butts, sitting HURTS. All the time. Sitting on a comfy desk chair. Sitting on a couch. Just thinking about sitting on something made of wood or metal makes me cringe. Stupid pokey butt bones.

Holy... Same here, lol! Just DL'ed it for the commute home. Can't wait for some sweet SNES-Flashbacks!

Just to let you guys know there will be a lot more snes next week!

Oi! Nice, just saw that it is part 1. You guys make 16 bit love loooong to me!

 

[ShaneB]

Awesome! This will make a friday at work go by much smoother.

 

[Kacho]

Awesome. Thanks for the timestamps, Lik.

 

[metsallica]

The greatest system of all time covered by the greatest gaming podcast currently running? Yes please. Can't wait to listen!

 

[Chairhome]

Just to let you guys know there will be a lot more snes next week!

YES. 8-4 month.

You guys should be using podcast apps, not iTunes. I can heartily recommend Podcaster (what I use, but only because I've been with it since day 1), Downcast, or Instacast. Never worry about syncing and download over 3G with no restrictions. When a new podcast comes out, hit refresh! Or refresh on a schedule! Or manually! They have better playback controls, and basically better everything. Also, subscribe directly to the RSS of a podcast rather than iTunes if you can. You'll get stuff faster. And yes, I realize I was being presumptuous assuming you're both syncing with iTunes and that's where the delay is coming in! If I'm wrong, apologies, but hopefully this changes the ways of someone else in this thread if they're yearning for instant 8-4 gratification.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Huh, didn't think it would come seeing that the metal gear one was last week.

 

[metsallica]

Let's talk more about how awesome they are so we can persuade them to go weekly!

 

[LiK]

Awesome. Thanks for the timestamps, Lik.

that's all JJ

 

[Schrade]

Bzzzt. Sorry, they aren't talking about the Amiga.

 

[metsallica]

Yeah... there's a reason for that.

 

[NewFresh]

I think this thread needs more dubstep

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzyKSyLavUY&feature=plcp

It wouldn't be dubstep without a terrible video game remix.

[Celegus]

Bzzzt. Sorry, they aren't talking about the Amiga.

The...wha? How in the world is the Amiga the best gaming system ever? Cannon Fodder and X-Com?

 

[patrickthehedgehog]

JJ's got DAT ASS! Bring on the pics mr. badonkadonk!

 

[Visualante2]

Get a life, get a girlfriend. Make a real game.

...sigh

 

[Oni Link 666]

Awesome episode. I loved the SNES discussion.

Hearing Kevin reminded me of Video Senki and I found this archive of it. http://www.atarihq.com/tsr/vsen/s/about.shtml

 

[StuBurns]

...sigh

"A shooter? Get out your bedroom and kill real people you fucking loser."

 

[metsallica]

Awesome episode. I loved the SNES discussion.

Hearing Kevin reminded me of Video Senki and I found this archive of it. http://www.atarihq.com/tsr/vsen/s/about.shtml

Oh man Video Senki / Video Fenky was the best. Good times.

 

[hank_tree]

Awesome to hear that the podcast is going weekly for the next few episodes. More 8-4play is a good thing.

 

[Tashi]

I hope there is healthy Link to the Past talk.

 

[LiK]

I lost it when Mark and JJ made those funny voices right before the SNES segment.

 

[Gomu Gomu]

Very much looking forward to listen to this one. The SNES holds a dear place in my heart, for being the system that made me a gamer.

 

[BrodiemanTTR]

I have like 5 months of 8-4 play to catch up on. May as well start with a sure-to-be-awesome episode.

What does it say when even my gaming podcast backlog has grown massive?

 

[bistromathics]

Is it weird that I want to see JJ's butt, now? Or is that to be expected.

 

[BocoDragon]

Enjoyed the hell out of the first SNES segment. Kevin Gifford is always oddly entertaining and dropped some knowledge bombs.

 

[Riposte]

...sigh

This was funny because how long he lingered on it even as others were talking. He really wanted to be a bully it seems lol.

 

[MasLegio]

whats up with always having shit music in the podcast?

 

[Earthpainting]

Looking forward to the Super Retrospective.

 

[The Bookerman]

I find it odd that the last time john was blown away by the capabilities of a console was with the Super Famicom.

Geez when I saw screenshots of MGS 2 for ps2 and played the demo on my newly bought ps2, I knew what I wanted to do. The Animation, the mocap(the 60 fps did help make it even cooler) My mind was blown.

That's the reason why I do what I do.

 

[saveweyard]

That intro music brings back some memories of hanging with my cousins playing that game all day long. Oh, to be a kid again...

 

[krae_man]

Tubular was the special world that always kicked my ass. I don't recall having any trouble with Gnarly.

 

[zroid]

Their SMW discussion made me Super Nestalgic.

Spoiler

had to do it, sorry

but seriously, why the f can't I play this game on the 3DS ;_;

 

[Necrovex]

Rad, I'll listen to this when I finish up Comedy Button.

 

[Curufinwe]

I have never played a SNES or even seen one in person, but this was a great episode.

 

[Jb]

...sigh

Yeah who was that? I don't think these games belong on Steam but I also don't think they could have been more douchey about it. It's a podcast, not a fucking late night pub discussion.

 

[Gomu Gomu]

Gifford: "Sega was not very good at consumer hardware sales from the start, basically.....Bwahahaha"
For some reason I freaking lost it here

. I actually played that part like 4 times, and laughed my ass off every time. Definitely, one of the greatest moments of 8-4 Play.

Amazing casting guys. K. Gifford is crazy with all that knowledge he dropped. Can't wait for part 2. And more importantly, can't wait for the inevitable console wars episode.

 

[zroid]

Yes, Gifford is awesome.

I need to see him and Shane on a podcast together, will be glorious
