[Hot Coldman]

Oh God, I'm not a regular listener but I'm so tempted to 'tune in' to hear Drinky go nuts about Deadly Premonition. I wanna wait until Giant Bomb have their way with it first though

 

[Fragamemnon]

This was a really fun episode to cast. Doug's wide-spectrum prescription of hatabiotics made for a lot of laughs.

Thanks as always for the editing and posting, Kevin.

 

[Drinky Crow]

this was one of my rantier episodes :'(

i am not excited to hear my wife's responses when she listens to me annihilate the stupid muppets

 

[Eel O'Brian]

Also you probably make the most offensive joke in show history!

 

[Drinky Crow]

oh god, (you devil), i'd forgotten about that

 

[Leunam]

Also you probably make the most offensive joke in show history!

I'll download just for this.

 

[Yoritomo]

For some reason this reminded me I have to be home earlier so my wife can take the older kid to the dentist.

Thank you borecast.

 

[Archie]

Class of Heroes sounds pretty sexy, the augment system in particular. I will agree with Doug 100% that the crafting system in EO is beyond awful and the worst part of the game. Hopefully that is overhauled in EO3. Also :bow at Frag for mentioning Strange Journey. Hopefully you guys discuss it in a later Borecast.

Also re: FOE fights in EO, you can make them much easier by maxing out a Dark Hunter's climax skill and getting the FOE to 50%.

 

[Joseph Merrick]

hehe sounds good

have you played achtung panzer kharkov 1943 yet, frag?

 

[Drinky Crow]

strange journey and infinite space will surely be discussed. next week will probably be more heavy rain talk, blazblue psp, and of course ff13 :teehee

 

[Archie]

Can't wait for the FF13 talk. :uguu

 

[Fragamemnon]

Doug will be pouring out the praise for the tremendous design of Vanille in the next episode, guaranteed.

have you played achtung panzer kharkov 1943 yet, frag?

All new stuff on the PC is right now on hold while I play the SC2 beta. It's sort of a "stop the world" sort of thing, though Achtung Panzer certainly is a game I really want to play at some point.

 

[Eel O'Brian]

I'll be playing the Ruse Beta and giving impressions on that.

 

[Joseph Merrick]

hehe yeah, I can see that. some of us aren't in the sc2 beta yet...... while you prance around in the magical pandora avatar world of gaming, we have to make do with drab everyday real world gaming )

I'll be playing the Ruse Beta and giving impressions on that.

ah nice. that game looks almost like achtung panzer. somewhat

 

[Leunam]

You guys should sign on for the Lego MMO beta. Do a Borecast investigates on that.

 

[Drinky Crow]

i'd be up for mucking with legos as long as i can smash other folks' hard work

 

[ghst]

i'd be up for mucking with legos as long as i can smash other folks' hard work

lego, lego. sheep, sheep.

damn yanks.

 

[Alex Connolly]

Excellent. Another Borecast. Keep up the good work, gentlemen.

...and this Achtung Panzer Kharkov 1943 business...is it in any way related to the best hotseat multiplayer experience of yore, Achtung! Spitfire? Because that would be great.

Looking forward to your RUSE beta talk, Kevin!

 

[Joseph Merrick]

here's the demo http://demos.gamersgate.com/K1943_EN_demo_setup.exe

goldam socialists, shoulda let jerry have 'em backa dubya dubya too

 

[Alex Connolly]

Hot damn! Offensive jokes, unadulterated hate mercantilism, Warday and Turtledove's World War, love for animals eating humans on celluloid...

...unbridled enthusiasm to run up to people and hype "Oh my GOD, you've GOT to listen this shit, it's pure GOLD. Best. Podcast. EVER!"

Very entertaining this week. Ten out of ten and a koala stamp for you guys.

 

[-Mikey-]

This will be my first Borecast. Hope to hear some good Deadly Premonition talk.

 

[Drinky Crow]

we talk about it a fair bit!

 

[Hitokage]

Tip for differentiating North and South Carolina:

North Carolina has urban areas with tons of immigrants from other places(myself included) and generally isn't really "southern" as much until you hit the rural areas.

South Carolina still wants to wave the confederate flag.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Enjoying the episode so far while waiting on my stomach to calm down.

Also great entries in the Himu-Chan contest last episode. Glad the bullshit I hacked out didn't make it in before you guys recorded. Although I think Tajabo (how do you spell it?) got robbed.

Anyhow, back to sipping tea and trying to not vomit.

Edit: Hate The Muppets?! You motherfucker. . .

 

[Drinky Crow]

yeah, my wife wasn't too thrilled with the muppets hate, too. the muppets are sacred to her family, which is why i enjoy hating them so much. "enjoy your sanitized childish garbage" i tell her and her sisters with a wave of my hand. oh, how they gnash their teeth! it's good to be an elitist.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Also, cowgirl Rastafarian is a hot mental image Kevin. The powerful combination of Woman in Cowboy Hat + Dreadlocks = WIN! :X

 

[Stink]

Thanks, weinerdog.

[Yoritomo]

I'm about halfway through this podcast.

Dammit, I love zombie fiction. Especially shitty zombie fiction. What other excuse do I have to horde food, guns, and ammo? Any other excuse to horde shit and practice blowing things up pales in comparison to preparing for an eventual zombie outbreak.

 

[Eel O'Brian]

All I know about South Carolina is that's where we used to go to buy lottery tickets and fireworks.

 

[Drinky Crow]

it's all south of the mason-dixon to me!

 

[Mr_Guillotine]

Listening for Deadly Premonition.

 

[Hitokage]

it's all south of the mason-dixon to me!

Ok, let me make it even simpler

North Carolina = Western Washington
South Carolina = Eastern Washington

 

[Kevtones]

I'd be interested to hear any possible exceptions to rules/rituals you guys have?



On the DP subject, I must be the only person alive that enjoys the driving controls. I like the fact you can check your blind spots... :lol

Also, the pot lady = the log lady.

 

[Mr_Guillotine]

I find it kind of funny that I agreed with a lot of things Drinky Crow said during the beginning conversation since he declared himself a complete hater of nearly everything :lol . Also, the discussion on Deadly Premonition was really great good job. I agree with the bad car controls and the annoying QTE's toward the end but the point about how the story just gets crazy towards the end is completely true and kind of makes sense in the game for whatever reason. I kind of want to try out HR just for comparison sake.
