You know what would be GREAT? If you dropped over to iTunes (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=260079519)and subscribed (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=260079519)to our show. If you’ve already subscribed, why not drop us a review?

For the more traditional geeks in the audience, there’s also an RSS feed (http://feeds.feedburner.com/SarcasticGamerPodcast) you can use to accomplish the same thing.

Then again, maybe you’ll do it next week. Here’s the stupid mp3. (http://media.libsyn.com/media/sarcasticgamer/SarcasticGamer-Episode69.mp3)

Thanks so much for listening, we appreciate you guys more than you know.

As always there were many moments that made me :lol: but Doc's shelf made me cry! I laughed so hard the other people in my office think I'm crazy - well more crazy than they first thought.

Once again you guys manage to do the impossible and actually make me look forward to Monday mornings!

Next time Lesley - DAD - Don't Ask Dave! :tongue: :lol:

It was show 69, but it didn't suck.. :huh:

So sad and so very funny.

Oh my Doc you play the guilt card with Lesley, shame on you my friend and on that note nice job turning that lemon in to a lemonade :thumbsup:.

Doc you got to post a pic of your new shelf witch is conveniently supporting your new 50 inch HDTV :lol:

The shelf just made me laugh and laugh and laugh.:lol:

Can't blame Doc for not mentioning the HDTV in his story, that made it so much more awesome.

loved the show, shelf was hilarious.

Lono....hope I don't turn you off the iPod touch games by saying, I agree with you 100%, awesome little machine for some fun games, I have Hero of Sparta along with many others you mentioned and at less than $10 a pop these are some great bite sized games. Didn't hear you mention Rolando, check it out, got GOTY for they iPod/iPhone from many sources, I prefer it over Loco Roco.

also you mentioned the problems with the controls, check this out.

not the one I was looking for but it looks like a few of these are in the works, don't see me carrying it around with me everywhere I go though so it will just be for those "4 hour sessions".

loved the show, shelf was hilarious.

I'm all about the iTouch gaming... i've got about 20 games on it right now. Haven't checked out Rolando, because I have loco roco on my psp's memory stick, and I don't really care for it that much.

I've got to play through Hero of Sparta, Reign of Swords and Sim City before purchasing any other $10 titles for the ipod.

Why is this episode not out in the UK yet???

Sorry I take that back it is out.... {stupid iTunes >:( }

I enjoyed the show, especially the iPod Touch part, just one question:

Were any of you intoxicated?

LOL...."how many games are coming out for my shelf?"

Ouch....my stomach hurts I'm laughing so hard....

dick move Dave....dick move...

:)

I'm not sure what we're going to do with that Lesley girl. A shelf?? Hilarious! Great show guys. I listened to it while enjoying my first day of being unemployed...again...while playing Wii :) I like multi-tasking with Sarcastic Gamer.

I also like how Lesley was referred to as "Doc's Wife" again and how she wasn't included in this Red vs Blue contest...Pink doesn't count?

That was great, the shelf was hilarious.

Great Job Guys.

I69 is a road I always take. Can't wait to check it out. Didn't know you guys were gonna have one today.

as a Zune owner i should tell you that i was affected by the crash. the issue was there was a bug in the clock program because of the leap year.

i think that Dave desires a reverse bell for ruining doc's Christmas. that way he would get both the first bell of the new year and the first reverse bell of the new year.

and Lono, will you be saying that the psp is better than the ipod touch when mgs:touch is released

It was show 69, but it didn't suck.. :huh:I see what you did there ;)

I've got to play through Hero of Sparta, Reign of Swords and Sim City before purchasing any other $10 titles for the ipod.The only games I've downloaded are solitaire, hangman and a bunch of other apps that I was bored with after a minute...Where are all these great free games I've heard about because they're not in the top 20 list.

Its not working on zune for some reason, its not downloading.

Guys thanks for the shoutout and for the honorary "Martini Time."

Am I now going to have to paint myself to show my SG loyalty!?

Oh and Dave, only I can bleed SG red! :tongue:

Let me know how you like Sim City...I'm considering picking it up.

I think Halo 3's Forge is more than a "makeup" for pre-made maps. Namely on the map Foundry. On this map, every single object is deletable. You could have an empty map. Originally, when you would place an object, physics would take over. However, people have found many glitches to combine objects, make them float, use them to trigger events, etc.

Empty Foundry:

There are other maps made as well. Anyway, I'm off my fanboy soapbox for the moment.

I'd rather have a HD TV than a PSP any day!

Great job on the podcast guys:thumbsup::lol:!

It's working for me right now. Now if only they would put in a picture for the icon, that would be fantastic.

Just listened to the podcast this morning while on my way to work. Nearly burst into laughters when I heard the part about the shelf. But Doc you are one cunning guy, managed to trick a 50inch Full HD TV from Lesley. I wish I could trick/persuade my wife to get me that for Christmas or even my birthday. That is definitely much better than a PSP.

And about gaming on the Ipod Touch, I also owns an Ipod Touch 16Gb 2G and its really good. I only started gaming on it recently and I am pleasantly surprised by the how fun some of the games are. And the graphics is pretty good too! Hero of Sparta is a good example of what the Ipod Touch is graphically capable of. IMHO, its better than the DS but I am not sure if its better than the PSP.

I heard alot of rave reviews on Rolando. Lono, you should definitely try it. Sim City should be good too but I won't be getting it as I don't really like this kind of game.

IMHO, its better than the DS but I am not sure if its better than the PSP.

I read somewhere that it's graphically better than the PSP and DS put together, but that could have been wrong. Yeah, it pretty much OWNS the DS in graphics.

Btw, just downloaded Flick Fishing...great game! 3/5 stars, just 'cause of how limited you are in that game.

Fantastic show guys. Dave, that sounds exactly like something I'd do to mess with my friend's head.

I have a suggestion, brought about by listening to the back-issues of the Red show. Give Dave a new name. It hasn't been done for a while, and it's always hilarious.

Oh by the way Doc, I haven't forgotten.

Super-Ninja-Girl!

That's just one map though...

As for the PSP v. iTouch, even when MGS comes out for it, there's still 5 years of good PSP games that the iTouch can't even touch... see what I did there...

Ooh yeah. I see what you did there...

And on Halo 3, Forge isn't just makeup. Granted, there are some awful maps for Forge (Guardian, MANY others), but most, if not ALL of the DLC maps were good for Forge. I can't wait for Sandbox, though. I love Forge. I'm constantly making maps. It's SO DAMN ADDICTIVE.

That's not to say that I'm a H3 or an X360 fanboi. I'd happily buy a PS3 if my parents or myself could afford it.

That was an awesome episode, but it felt alot better just for the fact that we have't had a red show in two weeks.

It's one map, but you can still have good gameplay on it.

I am an owner of an iPod touch now as well, and I look forward to some good articles. Most(free) games seem pretty "meh" right now to me. If you could recommend one payed title, what would it be?(If there's a better free title that's fine)

HAHAHAHA This was hysterical!
Dave: Well lets go into the future a bit lets say it's the Friday after X-mas no wait the...
Doc: WE CAN GO TEN YEARS INTO THE FUTURE DAVE AND THERE STILL WON'T BE ANY GAMES FOR MY SHELF!!!!
:lol:

Dave, you have to learn that Polish saying for next week's show.

omg! the shelf part made me cry xD it was so funny, cep up the good work

I would say, Hero of Sparda, but depending on what type of games you like some may say Rolando, or Simcity.

About iPod/iPhone being better or worse than the PSP, the whole 5 years behind the PSP isn't the best logic as the iphone seems much easier to develop for as games are coming out daily so by the time it has a year under its belt I bet it will have more good games than the PSP but I still prefer my PSP for "real" gaming (I mean as real as a handheld can be) and my iPhone for bathroom gaming.

Also President of Sega of America said in an interview with kotaku that the iphone/ipod is as powerful as the Dreamcast but the slowdown I'm getting in all of my iphone games says otherwise so I doubt it will have higher quality games than the PSP.

LOL a shelf... aww poor Doc atleast you got a lovely HDTV for that shelf..
Stop insulting Dave though! he is funny and a love-able guy XD Haha.

I have a PSP as well.... and I've totally lost interest in it. It can't connect to anything online, and I haven't used it in weeks.

Funny im one of the two listeners with a zune 30 >.> O well love your cast! I htink ill try to be active on the forums....

I missed the red show. It was so great to have another episode to listen to at work. Makes my dreary drone-like existence a little brighter. Doc bemoaning his shelf had me laughing and laughing.

TRISM.
Try it. I love it. Great game to kill a dull moment or two..
And it's cheap!

Where's the HDUD?

Its not working on zune for some reason, its not downloading.

Where have you been? lol

Great episode guys...loved it. Even though, now I'm the creepy guy that sent "Doc's wife" baked goods! To be fair, she was a guest on Panda Watch and didn't want me to send a game...I told her my wife makes great cookies and she said that would be great. I'm not a freak I tell you!..just highly domesticated!

and yes, I'm VERY excited for CES!

HA, DUDE! 69, yeah, man, get it, dude, 69!!!!!, so funny, man, dude.

I was pretty impressed with daves take us out tbh!

"We have a saying in Poland.. Something in Polish"

Dogs Die is not creepy. He is sweet!

And for the record, I will accept baked goods from anyone. Send the wine to Jax and the cookies to me :)

I accept cash.

I don't think it will help your -10 pounds with WiiFit challenge.

He is creepy-sweet! lol

It is just funny how they portrayed him on the show and failed to recall the reason for the cookies: "DogDieInHotCars is really excited about CES!......he sent my wife some cookies?!"

all doc has to do is to convince dave's wife to buy him a chair for his birthday and they will be even =P

all doc has to do is to convince dave's mom to buy him a chair for his birthday and they will be even =P

*fixed


Is there a HDUD this week? And Lono you argument is invalid because it is Thursday :lol:

EDIT: oh wait you guys are on your ways to vegas. nevermind.

A shelf. That is just funny. You need to get revenge Doc and next year get him a coffee table or something.

So if Jax gets various alcohol, Lesley gets baked goods and Harley gets cash. What do you send Doc, Dave, Lono, PacMan, Roth, and Frawlz?

that show was great laughted my butt off the whole time!

After Doc talking about never seeing an ipod silhouette sitting on a toilet, it reminded me of a shirt my friend was wearing that had this design on it.

"they are the Jesus Christ of portable electronics..."

Thank you Lono, I seriously needed the levity. :thumbsup:

Sorry I didn't make it to CES. I hope you guys are having a blast.

Poor Doc. ): Have fun with the shelf, man.

Shelf FTW! Great show makes Guam bearable sometimes. On a sidenote anybody know if they ship sumo lounges overseas?

I think only UK and Australia.

Will start to watch right NOW

*EDIT*

Shelves and Ideas for new Apple Commercial

Bwahaha Great episode

He is creepy-sweet! lol

creepy-sweet works for me =P Thanks for telling everyone i'm not crazy Lesley!

When I met Doc on Thursday I reminded him I was the one who sent the cookies, but in the madness forgot to remind him WHY I sent them....so needless to say, he still thinks I'm creepy :w00t:

Only got to hear this show last night, I've got an Ipod touch too so I know what lono is talking about and have found the perfect shirt for him.

I have a PSP as well.... and I've totally lost interest in it. It can't connect to anything online, and I haven't used it in weeks.

See, I've only just dusted mine off and found the PSN store, and I love the concept of it. I want to download four or five games, but I know I wouldn't play them enough to warrant buying them. Plus everytime I pick the damn thing up, its battery is dead - and I'm not even leaving it on Sleep!

This upcoming PSP game was only briefly mentioned in episode 69.
