Oh the madness! Our original plans for Episode 18 were slightly tweaked by the GamespotGate scandal, and rather than cut anything out, we're delivering a slightly larger portion of the Sarcastic Gamer Podcast. It's our first show in more than a month with the whole crew present.
In this episode:

Our initial reaction to the Gamespot debacle
Foo Mo Jive playing Halo 3 on "Easy"
Supa's Mass Effect Review (Gamespot Style)
Battle to the Pain! Lono vs. Alex
Mutiny
Sony's stance on console exclusives
Dave as Sony's PR director!
Call of Duty 4 multiplayer bugs
Gamercast Network Rock Band giveaway
Is Dave hording prizes?
Thank you's
Dave, take us out

O...M....G! That was hilarious guys. I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. Alex, Lono, you two should go back in time and duke it out American Gladiator style with those foam staffs. Priceless.

Also is whining really the best way to get back on the podcast? Ya know...I mean...I can whine really good. I'll just put your numbers into my speed dial and text message/email yall to death! J/K

After my first foray into a podcast I get the challenges. I admit I was VERY nervous...ala the Ya Know...I mean rambling. You guys really do a wicked job. Yet another awesome show.

sigh, I can't finish it right now, but it's amazing, though I wish it wasn't so centered around the lono alex fight and the gamespotgate so much.

Seriously, you guys MAKE the show (Hell Lono is why I stuck around originally... reminds me of a friend of mine around here, so I was more then amused). MUTINY MORE, DAMMIT!!!! :D

A scary new fact I learned the other day was that the American Gladiators show is coming back to NBC.

Good god, they're never gonna pay writers again are they?


Hey Doc are you now going by Vince?
What are the tag lines for your wrestlers gonna be?
"Can ya hear what Supa's Whinning?":D
"Lono wants a break!!"

Well, it's a work in progress.

You guys scared me when you said it. I wasn't sure if it was sarcastic or not, because I can't tell the scripted parts from the non scripted parts.

What script? I know of no script used during the podcast! This charges ageist my client are scandalous!

Nice job still on the podcast guys. Im afraid to say even if it was bad because I'd be perma banned by DDL and when everyone's like "Where's Bauer22, Lord of the Puppets?" and Doc will go. "Oh Bauer's account was "ended" because of personal reasons."

Also I checked out that Goozex thing. Do I have to do anything special to sign up from Sarcastic Gamer or is that done through the link?

We never use a script. There's no way we could, Supa is the worst actor... lol :p

Oh and goozex keeps track of the different sites so keep signing up guys!

No one but me is able to tell some of this stuff is scripted? I know that the Fight thing was planned ahead of time, but there is no way it would have turned into a mutiny like it did, unless it was scripted. You guys are not pulling the wool over my eyes. I see the light.

I assure you, nothing was scripted. We just roll with it. Sometimes things work, and sometimes they don't (and get cut). Glad you enjoyed it!

Can you imagine that script?

Please transcribe that for us right here.... That would have taken an eternity, and I assure you that I had ZERO idea they were going to turn against me.

I am not opposed to entertaining the idea that there was collaboration on the part of the two offenders.... Matter of fact, I'm nearly certain of it.

EDIT: If that were scripted Lono and ALex wouldn't have stuttered so much and made whiners of themselves. :)

begin fight*

Nah, I'd just put you in a padded room and force you to listen to the most wonderful podcasts available. ;)

Nah, just sign up.

When you guys head to Seattle for the Surface visit, watch out for the guys with the Bulletproof Pocket Protectors. They're the M$ $trike Force - never know if they really do have a sense of humor about their Big Ass Table.

Maybe you could make a totally emo video of the mutiny and you could be all weepy and and we could see more of your big, fat head! LOL

I have exactly 3 games I can think of.....

1) Magic
2) Yu-Gi-Oh
and 3) Eye of Judgement 2

Im not sure anything else really would work (or that most of these would be games you would want to play).

Finally was able to listen to it last night.

Great episode. Probably my second or third favorite ever.

The Lono vs. Alex fight was almost lame... until they turned on Doc. Then I couldn't stop laughing. Nice work again. This is easily my favorite of my podcasts!

Great episode guys. Just spent the last 2 days listening to every podcast, as I just found out about Sarcastic Gamer and GamerCast Network. SO, I started in the forums also and I am looking forward to playing some COD4 with the crew some time in the future.

I love the turning on Doc, it's about time that instigator got what he deserved. (Sorry Doc, We love you anyways, but I love Lono more :P).

ps... the more Doc bashing the better.

...And remember to remind people to tell their friends with Zunes to sign up for the podcast. I only just got into Sarcastic Gamer because the Zune 2.1 firmware + software now fully supports podcasts. We need more Zune subscribers to bring the podcast up higher in the Zune marketplace. (I have no ipod)

Cujoe
12-10-2007, 12:45 PM
so does that mean with the zune software you can subscribe to these podcasts? God i hate the zunes software interface, not user friendly at first site what so ever. :mad:

Try the new software, completely re-vamped. But it is missing some functionality because of it.

The nw Zune software and firmware is light years better than the old. I especially like the new Podcast support.

I wish I could photoshop so I could modify a Kane and Lynch poster to say Lono and Alex. Damn that'd be funny. I loved this episode guys, it was excellent.
