I knew Country songs where so popular in SG.

Great Show, though I don't own a 360 so I can't participate in the gaming goodness. PS3 is what I got to work with, never liked xbox ever since they came out in the PS2 era...always seemed "fake" to me....I don't know. Can't wait until Pink in PS3 enabled.

I haven't listened to the show yet and I have no good excuse, so I'll just claim to have contracted a serious case of pudding fingers. But I will listen. I promise. I just felt bad seeing Jax complain that no one was posting here. If it makes you feel any better, I haven't even listened to all of the last Red show yet either.
Don't hate on me, because my fingers are made of pudding and Bill Cosby keeps trying to suck on them.

PS3 will be included in next weeks show...I'll make that my personal mission. And Wii. Why doesn't anyone ever complain that there's not enough Wii in the show??? LOL

@Talkingship shame on you! Where's the love? I found a half a bottle of Jager in my booze closet...can I be on your show now?? LOL

Jax, you're welcome on the show any time. And you'll be happy to know that Nerves is actually a fan of boxed wine too! I think it's the white trash in him shining through!!:lol:

We should make "Gamer's Guidelines and Etiquette" just for Lesley :lol:
I kind of like Viva Pinata and Viva Pinata 2...I tend to play them when I don't feel like playing shooters.

JaXboxChick
12-12-2008, 10:53 PM
Yeah but Katana...how long would a guide be for that game?? It's pretty involved. Hit me up if you want to do some of the online achievements for viva 2 though..I likes my points:)

Oh and my mom watched the show but doesn't have an account here and she said that it was obvious I wasn't drunk on the show because I didn't have to get up to pee and I actually talked a whole bunch for a change. hee hee!

That's how I am about Viva Pinata also. It's a great game and becomes very addictive if you sit and play it for a while but there's nothing like the action of a shooter.

There is an achievement for 4 player co-op, so if we can find a 4th person or maybe make this an option for a gaming night, we can get those points for you.

Yeah, I love my Zune! I have one of the old 30GB. I've had it for 3-4yrs now and it's still kicking, surprising for a Microsoft product, hehe.

You should make it a segment of the show and call it: Leslie Lessons!

Great show, ladies! I listen to yours now BEFORE I listen to the red show!

This one's for Leslie-let me know if you want to play some arcade games or perhaps Kingdom for Keflings to help with your gamerscore. I just got a 360 and am working on mine as well. So, when I'm not playing Gears of War I like to play some fun arcade games! My gamertag is tababySK (pronounced tuh-baby-S-K).

Keep it up!!!!!

OOOOOOOH YEAH!!! I LIKE that idea too....you take some gaming "thing" that Lesley (and other casual gamers) doesn't know about and you bring her up to speed on it....

How is Lesley's gamer score challenge coming along?

Toodles, and as always, what a horrible* show...

I'm with Leslie on the Viva Pinata suckage. Extreme boredom sets in shortly after the first worm. Confusing menu systems, overly complicated controls, and maybe it's from the boxes o wine, but I can't read that tiny, minuscule font. No idea what they were saying. (This is a problem for a lot of games since I am the only person on Earth w/o an HDTV.)

Hey discovered sarcastic gamer on my new ipod touch as i was surfing the podcasts. listened to a few episodes of the red show and heard about your show and thought it might give me some hints on transitioning my girlfriend into gaming a little more.. i've listened to all the episodes up to this point. if you haven't done any episodes with hints like that i'd love to hear them. i gave her my old gamecube and all the games i had for it to let her play around with, but she just doesn't bother with it too much. i've also tried getting games like tetris, and even endured shrek the third for her, but nothing seems to hold her attention long. HELP ME PINK SHOW YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE! (yes that was a small reference to star wars: a new hope)

that was a lot for my first post...:huh:

PS - This is what part of the alphabet would look like it Q and R were removed.

In my opinion you're either a gamer or you're not. It has nothing to do with your sex. I've met guys that have flat out told me they think games are a "waste of time" and think I'm stupid for playing them. Heck we can barely get Lesley to play games...

I grew up playing with my Dad and have always loved games.

Shrek the 3rd?? That barely held my attention. And I'm not sure if old games are going to win her over. Some girls are just girls and not gamers...you have to deal with it :)

the wii, easily, thats the only thing my girlfriend will play. And its because she beat me at bowling the first time she played so now she loves it (i let her win :D)

yeah i think she wants a wii... but i don't know if i can fully consider that even gaming sometimes.. i dunno it would probably be good for her though. i don't think i'm ready to buy that for her.. i just bought her a ds for christmas which she wanted.. i guess i forgot to mention that... haha. so what could i get her for that? i got her harvest moon, cooking mama, and super mario 64 ds. she doesn't use it that much though.. idk i hope she gets into more so we can just play around sometimes, instead of watching movies, or tv.

Ever thought about trying the complete opposite?

If games like Cooking Mama, Super Mario and others don't really do the trick, why not hand her some games that are a little more interesting. you never know, the reason because she is not liking those games might be because she thinks they are retardedly(™) easy or boring.

Try some racing games, or shooters or RPGs and maybe a PSP. Remember that girls (and this is true, I'm sorry but is true, so please, Quin, Harley, Jax, Lesley, don't kill me, I'm just stating a simple fact of life.) like shiny things, so the better graphics (which the PSP can pump out compared to the DS) Might be the thing that will help her get into gaming.

i was wayy into video games as a kid but my parents never really wanted me to play them that much. the first thing i got was a gameboy pocket in 2nd grade, and i played pokemon red hardcore! i mean come on.. i was 8. not to say that pokemon isn't still kinda cool to me, i will always hold it dear. but i played anything i could get my hands on.. my best friend for awhile had a ps2 and we played all kinds of stuff on that, but mostly wrestling games. when i finally got a system i went with a gamecube cuz i was interested in playing the mario and zelda games, but then i moved on to a ps2 as well. I got it right as the slim model was being released. i was starting to get more into shooting games at this time, playing halo at my friends house and hiding behind the better players.. hah (not anymore! hide behind me now!) and i got into ratchet and clank alot. one of my favorite series ever (i'm sad its only for ps3 now). i started playing up your arsenal online alot for a year, some timesplitters future perfect mixed in as well. but now i have my 360 and i'm still into a whole lot of stuff, i just end up sinking more of my time into 1st person shooters and stuff.

(is it weird to type this much on a forum?)
