i just want to make it clear i watch "Anthony saves the world" and love it.

 

[arcadiaexeter]

oh yeah and this podcast thing is pretty cool too.

 

[Slycne]

I lol'd at 4:00. Karl Marx in a Lampshade =)

If you like that image enough to want to wear it - "The Communist Party" [http://www.threadless.com/product/383/The_Communist_Party?streetteam=tomburns].

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I'd actually prefer just the site staff on the cast, tbh.

Susan, John, Logan, Andy, Tom, and all of you behind the scenes people.

But this is good, too.

Can we get the audio in an RSS feed? I listen to a LOT of podcasts, and sitting still at my computer is pretty much the last way I want to do it.

EDIT: I'm also rather selective with podcasts and THIS-IS-AWESOME. So I REALLY want that RSS feed.

 

[Mr. Omega]

Please let this be weekly. It doesn't have to be these two every time.

A nice thing for discussion:
Comparison of the communities.
XBL (The stereotype of online gaming), PSN (Absoultely silent... nobody has a mic), PC (Arrogant elitists) and Nintendo (Completely non-existant)

Very nice, but it was recorded a while ago, wasn't it?

 

[Tulks]

"Not that I've done it..."
Well played, Yahtzee. Well played.

Very nice, but it was recorded a while ago, wasn't it?

Probably about three weeks ago, judging by the Kirby reference.

 

[CrashBang]

Well some of that was a little awkward... but yeah, liked it

 

[doomboy29]

WANT MOAR!

 

[Plurralbles]

why hte hell is this not advertised isntead of jimquisition!?


That was awesome.

 

[Spartan302]

I would realy like to see more of this, but an improved version.

 

[Wolcik]

It'd be nice to explain the concept of what you're taking appart. What's this DRM?

As for PC Gaming - it gets to the point where buying newer and better computer isn't really worth it unless you work on it as a graphic or something like that. PC should stay as more of a work tool, with few things to fuck around in the mean time (but we have facebook for that now) and leave games for specified medium that they made for - consoles and eventually something better

Overally I liked it

Actually Yahtzee, I do depend greatly on your opinion before I buy games. I've decided to not spend several hundred dollars due critique about some games, and in turn spent money on your recommendations, the best examples being my avoidance of Dead Space and my purchase of Just Cause 2. And you know what? You've yet to be incorrect, as far as my enjoyment has been concerned. The games I opted out of, I played later at a friend's place or as a rental, and been deeply pleased that I never bothered to spend my own cash on them.

As a man of limited funds and time, I find your reviews truly invaluable. Thank you.
