With the GFW crew experiencing serious deadline burnout, Dr. Maximum Chill arrives on the scene to inject the podcast with some actual energy. He only partially succeeds. Among the topics mumbled about: New Team Fortress maps, Star Trek Online and the viability of licensed MMOs, Puzzle Quest, and Ubisoft's "boycott" of EGM and GFW. Also: Shawn Elliott's scary stories from the frontiers of Second Life. Be very afraid!

Between the Brodeo, 1Up Yours (most times) and Bill Simmons ESPN podcast, my commutes are about a hundred times more awesome now that I save these to listen to on the way to and from work. Thanks to the GFW crew again for taking the time to do this, it's genuinely enjoyed. :D

Yeah, The BS Report is great even though Simmons is usually full of shit. It especially sucks listening to it as Detroit fan living in Boston.

I love how his friends/guests are now openly ripping him on his own podcast. At first I guess they were just too polite or else just surprised to be on a podcast, but now Cousin Sal and the rest mock him for having too much money, the easiest job ever and getting to cheer for the obnoxiously successful Boston teams. :lol

Best burn on that podcast was in one of the last few when Jack-o congratulated him for successfully lowering his voice 3 full octaves for the podcast, and that his fake radio voice was much better than his normal "high falsetto". :lol I laughed simply because I was a little surprised teh first time I heard him speak, his voice is a bit high (shamefully, mine is really close to his tbh). I can't wait for a full baseball season of "Johnny are you worried?", that shit was gold.
 
Here's the write-up:

Oh man, the Ubi thing is a ban on 1UP Network? So much for more Brothers in Arms coverage. :(

Same feelings here. They are genuinely appreciated by a lot of people, me included.

By the way guys, though you lack nicknames, you have more memes than any other podcast I know of.
As a collective nickname though, "the Brodeo" simply can not be beat. Any individual nicknames would only detract from the perfection.

Thanks, and that sucks. I recall hereing someone at 1up say the new BiA was their most anticipated game of the year. Don't remember who, though. (Garnett?)

Oh, Ubisoft boycotted the entirety of the 1up network? I suppose outside of the Settlers and GRAW they don't do much PC stuff anyhow, but that is weird.

edit: Oh I forgot BIA:HH.
 
This is around my tenth episode I've had the pleasure of listening too, just want to thank the GFW crew for easing my work days, and bringing me back to the PC gaming fold. Steam is honestly too good, with its multitude of (mostly) fairly priced games, so I already have a PC backlog. Wish Puzzle Quest was on Steam as I love Peggle, and Ryan and Jeff and it wound weirdly fun.

The only other podcast I listen to too. I think everyone of his readers roots against all Boston teams just on the hope they'll finally lose and he can moan a little. I was laughing when the Giants fan said he'd rather the Packers go to the Superbowl if it meant they could beat the Patriots.

EDIT: Not that that's the only reason I root against Boston teams. Their fans are obnoxious and I like to see them cry. Or cry and say they hate New York teams cause their fans are so obnoxious.

I'll buy it at retail as soon as I can. I can't wait to play it. This just means no more previews until then.

Shawn, do you know anything about how they're doing multiplayer in Hell's Highway? I was addicted to Road to Hill 30 multiplayer something fierce back in the day.
