I never laugh so hard. My ribs still hurt. and omg was that an act of lono or was he rely serious?

I'll listen in the early AM. I just wanna say that I love it when these come out before, say, 5am (cst) on monday morning...

Real mature, pick on the guy who's not there to defend himself.:p

LOL!

Great episode!

(only half way but I feel I have to speak my mind about COD)

First I was thinking "WTF Lono" but then he mentioned my biggest gripe! It is soo scripted! Full of triggers, the AI are all on set paths and the same two will always pour out of the building at the same time.

I do like the Single Player very much and almost was in tears at one point on the USMC campaign;) Just think it is perhaps too scripted.

ROFLMAO that was hilarious supa whiny slick vs lono the a hole
supa kick his ass lol

Ahaha. Another good show guys.
Lono Vs Alex, Can't wait. :p

Heh, Anyone up for putting bet's down?
Wooo at the seperate mp3's. :D

Real mature, pick on the guy who's not there to defend himself.:p

What are you talking about? It's like their default... :)

I'm not ashamed to admit it, but if it's the point I'm thinking of, I fully agree. I was almost in tears myself...

*ding , ding* Round One...!!!



Great show guys, so Lono, i didn't quite get the full story, someone kept muting you out, wanna tell us all again :p

The internet doesn't have enough bandwidth for him to post the full story...

cool show guys!!!!! ha, realer.

I'm not ashamed to admit it, but if it's the point I'm thinking of, I fully agree. I was almost in tears myself...

I am stuck in this one spot where the team rescues a group from a building and you have to hop down onto a cargo container, and then an all out crapstorm breaks out. I have now played it 30 times and still can't get those AI. Its driving me bonkers.

Awesome episode it was so funny supaslicks voice message was awesome and i think dave has a job for life as sarcasticgamers big fight promoter just like don king.
keep up the good work the show just keeps on getting better.

Shame on you Dave, shame shame.
You Southern U.S.er
Good show Guys!


Hey Doc, if ya need something done in Chi-town this week let me know - since Lono is out of town. :D

has lono heard it yet
:P

im still trying to figure out if that was all an act or Lono can actually talk about something for that long. I laughed uncontrollably though.

Yay, yet another kick-ass show from SG.

(I posted this on the main page under COD4 Gets the Fix but just wanted to post it here in case that was the wrong area to put it.

Lono:

Lono, would like to comment on your recent bashing of Call of Duty 4’s single player game play. I am a 2nd lieutenant in the united states marine corps, and to be honest me and many of my fellow marines who have played this game are quite impressed with the single player. Call of Duty’s franchise has been solely based on the idea of team-play and realism, and that fast action warfare is not like a duke nukem where you can go off by yourself and be a hero. This game went above and beyond in that aspect. Yes you follow a script but as every soldier or marine on the field you are given your orders by a superrior and you do them to the best of your ability (They got that perfectly). The storyline was amazing as it shows, in some reguards, how intense modern warfare is.

You mentioned in that one part about holding off in a building and that the enemies wont stop coming unless you escape. Agreed, however that is an obvious tool used to let you know that the idea of hunkering down in a farm against overwhelming odds is impossible and that keeping on the move is what you are supposed to do.

The AC-130 mission was realistic as ever and blew me away, weapons and sound effects were more real than ide like to admit.

You also stated that you could just walk right through the game and let the NPC’s do everything, i do not agree with this in any way whatsoever. As with real combat people to your left and right are just as trained and well equipped as you are, and you are not the hero of the game, you are in the fight with other heroes who are there in the thick of it with you. So yes if you want to go through the game like that you can, but that was not the point. The whole point of the game was to immerse yourself in a role, (a standard marine infantry sgt), amongst fellow marines in a heated conflict in the middle east.

I believe your review of this game came from the perspective that you wanted a game like duke nukem where you were the center of attention and that you could pull off unrealistic moves to accomplish the goal. This is not realistic. Realism is carrying out a fallen marine from a building to the nearest corpsman, while other marines are fireing their rifles all around you.

Yeah that took me ages. The enemy will keep respawning until you push up through the door on the right side of the other storage container. (below the 2 windows)

Having finished COD I almost cried again lol. Terrific!

lol nice episode guys

Lono=owned

(He'll be back from vacation next week.)

Ya lono gt owned pretty bad. I think it's awsome how you're releasing the parodies each individually. So all in all an awsome episode.

Anyone else having problems downloading it from itunes?

well i didn't have trouble downloading this one but it earsed a lot of them on the, way it was weird.

I listen to it on podtrac in the mornings, my ipods broken, so I wouldn't know if there were downloading problems, but pod track works pretty well.

Nice story lono lol.

This was even funnier than the hallowen episode :D this podcast makes my day. By the way who thinks lono was acting?:confused:

Oh wow. Lono got owned.

Hey, Doc, you might want to host a contest where the winner gets to be on the podcast for an episode. It'd just be cool...even if I don't win. :p

cool idea ploogle!!!11 oh, and i just listened to it a second time, cuz it seemed funnier the second time around.

Man I can't wait for lono's response to the podcast! I should go and message lono and tell him to listen to the released version of the podcast! I think I will...

I am stuck in this one spot where the team rescues a group from a building and you have to hop down onto a cargo container, and then an all out crapstorm breaks out. I have now played it 30 times and still can't get those AI. Its driving me bonkers.

Just wait. Near-ish the end, you will know the spot we speak of when we say you'll be in tears.

THATS NOT F%CKING COOL MAN lawl and the burn heres 50 cents buy some class.
call me back....

OMG F_ING GOD SO FUNNY

Ladies and Gentleman, get ready to rrruummmbbbllle!
Bring on the biggest bitch fight of the century!

BTW, does anyone else think that it's a bit wierd that Alex left a message for Lono on Doc's phone? Or was Alex just too pissed to risk talking to him?

Oh wow. Lono got owned.

Hey, Doc, you might want to host a contest where the winner gets to be on the podcast for an episode. It'd just be cool...even if I don't win. :p

I love that idea, Ploogle. How 'bout it, Doc?

That was definitely the funniest podcast ever. I want to hear Lono's story, though, it sounded kinda funny.

I laughed harder at that episode than I have in a long time... Easily your best work yet SG!

Was Lono just acting, or was he really talking for that long? Because that was almost ridiculous.

I can't wait until the Alex vs. Lono showdown. Dave even did a decent job of making a commercial for it (usually he screws up his uninterrupted minutes). Nice outtro though Dave. Even though you got ripped on as usual once the music cued. :D

First off: Greetings from the Cruise Ship docked at St. Maarten!

And then there's this guy:

There's a difference between relying on your teammates and having the computer do everything for you... May I recommend Dave's favorite game, the Mommy Handholding Game? You get balloons! j/k

Don't get me wrong I LOVE THIS GAME. I just had a criticism with the way some parts of the game are really heavily scripted. I thank you for your opinion, but it isn't mine, and we can agree to disagree.

ANYWAY, Supa, you'd better bring your A game next week, because I'm comin, I'm really sunburned, overserved and ready to kick your lily white ass! :eek:


To everyone else, Have a great Thanksgiving and I'll be back on Monday to piss everyone off. That's the bottom line! :D

Always good to hear Lono!
Hope you have a good time. :D

Would you just go and enjoy your vacation already!? Is it on your mind THAT much? ;)


oh ... and Bring It Bi-Atch! It's GO TIME!

You're on a ship?
Don't forget your floaties.
http://app.expressemailmarketing.com/images/gallery/25802/kid-with-floaties-smallest.jpg

Haha, go VinDali.

lol yeah lono dont forget them...

I'll be back on Monday

I can't wait to hear the stories you'll bring back!

I can't wait to hear the stories you'll bring back!

Yeah. If you've got an hour... Lono has a "short" story for ya.

:p

I bless supa with +2 str and give him the flame sword with +2 fire damage. you can beat him supa!!

I loved it! Your podcast makes a half hour of my job not suck. LoL! You need to make them 4 hours long, so that I have something to entertain me the whole time!

It's been over 24 hours since Lono last checked in here (at least on this thread - too lazy to check the facts). Could something be wrong?

A popped floatie???

Good God, get to the shallow end!! Then get to the Choppa!!!

Lono your now the new bill clinton of video games.

you wanted a game like duke nukem where you were the center of attention and that you could pull off unrealistic moves to accomplish the goal.


Hey, that sounds like every pod cast Lono has ever been in.

Definitly one of the best ones, guys.

Don't know anything else to say... just, awesome job.

haha lono

I'm back. AND my story was Ace, but I'll guess you all will never hear it because of Supa's FANTASTIC VF5 review? Ah well. Back to flaming Halo fanboys who still think I hate the game.

Glad to hear your back lono!

How was the holiday? :D

Welcome home Lono.
Hope ya had calm seas.

i cant believe theres no more clan!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the 21st century Yorkman! j/k

hi lono welcome back have any cake?or pie ?or did you have pake?with bacon salt cuse we had a whole lot of it ...(:

Glad to see that even while I was gone, you're posts continue to add no value whatsoever to the forum. :eek:

Came into work this morning, sat down and got the old machine warmed up, opened up itunes - and then remembered there's no new podcast this week. Argh!

My day sucks already! It's repeats for me this morning! And maybe some of Gervais's podcasts, Karl Pilkington's hilarous.

Glad to see that even while I was gone, you're posts continue to add no value whatsoever to the forum.

Don't listen to him. That's grumpy Lono. He should go to bed.

yeal lol and yet i still see you lono playing when i wake up when its about 3 am chicago time...

*gasp*

Maybe this is causing his bipolarness? Maybe if he got more sleep he wouldn't flip-flop as much.

I love this podcast! Started laughing out loud at the voicemail part!

*gasp*

I've never flip flopped. Except on Halo.

*cough*
COD4
*cough*

*cough*
EA
*cough*

pray tell how i flip flopped on EA or CoD 4?

* just grabbed some popcorn and a Pop waiting for the action to start*

Loved the show guys. People were giving me weird looks on the street cause I was seemingly laughing to myself as I was walking and listening to the episode.

Look forward to the showdown next fellas.

I get weird looks for laughing at the podcasts too... Hmm. Some guy nearly started on me once because he assumed I was laughing at his wife. Good times.

i watched this episode at like 12 am (first chance i got) and woke up everyone in the house (whoops :p)

Man, I was drinking my coffee when Lono started telling his story, and when Doc and Dave started talking, it got all over me...worst part is, I burned the inside of my nose. Needless to say, it hurt.
