PacManPolarBear 08-28-2009, 02:02 AM I'm listening to the show and I'm like "who the hell is Wraith?" LOL! I meant to say WildBanshe. No idea where I got Wraith from. My bad. Was a great time.
rothbart 08-28-2009, 02:03 AM I'm listening and I'm like who in the hell is Frawlz? I thought these guys were supposed to play games?! *zing* :lol:
Master Johnboy 08-28-2009, 08:39 AM Is it concerning that i have been called a whore in 2 podcasts so far?
nah probably not.
The Dutch Don 08-28-2009, 08:41 AM Can I get my hands on the Extra Life promo? I'd like to use it as a reminder for the people that I've already asked to sponsor me.
karbaasi92 08-28-2009, 10:52 AM Thanks for the episode.:thumbsup:
Rothbart won the bet? Really? Didn't see that one coming :lol:
Maybe Roth drank to his victory...that would explain why he couldn't talk right.
steamrobot 08-28-2009, 11:35 AM thanks for the shout out guys, but steamrot! really, how rude :0)
banjo5150 08-28-2009, 02:01 PM Just started listening to you guys a couple weeks back. You guys are freaking hilarious, keep up the good work. I have been actually downloading older episodes to listen to you guys even though I am already aware of the news. LOL
BlueDubs 08-28-2009, 02:10 PM Another great show guys, Roth won :sad: I was in Frawlz's camp for the bet. Oh well :lol:
Parky105 08-28-2009, 02:56 PM Whheeeyyy!!!
^ That's all I gotta say Frawlz :lol: but seriously I'm not totally surprised you lost the bet, but I'm still a bit diassappointed Killzone didn't sell more
Astro Nit 08-28-2009, 03:59 PM I was on Rothbarts side from the start
Parky105 08-28-2009, 04:01 PM I think it would have been quite surprising if Frawlz had won, I would have liked to have seen his reaction :lol:
PacManPolarBear 08-28-2009, 04:57 PM I just bought both games and laughed the whole time. :)
It's ok, you'll win next time Frawlz. Seriously, lets bet on something dude! :P
Because I want a Sumo too!
TamarindLAZ 08-28-2009, 06:18 PM Thanks for another episode. Also, looks like rothbart won, not surprising but nonetheless
...CONGRATULATIONS!
Raven 08-28-2009, 07:07 PM Nice episode. I'm actually surprised the bet was as close as it sounded.
MercenaryR56 08-28-2009, 07:48 PM Awesome show guys!
Btw, Batman Arkham Asylum is not short at at, it actually has tons of game play in it, like 16 hours+. The story line is great, and not to short.I have already beaten the story on hard, and I am now currently going back and finding Riddler Trophy's and Patient Interviews and solving all of Riddler's Riddles. Then I'm going to work on getting 3 trophy's on every challenge map, which I won't be able to do, but i'll try.
rothbart 08-28-2009, 09:11 PM Thanks for another episode. Also, looks like rothbart won, not surprising but nonetheless
...CONGRATULATIONS!
He who writes the agenda wins... it's kinda like the banker in Monopoly. :thumbsup:
batosai33 08-28-2009, 10:06 PM He who writes the agenda wins... it's kinda like the banker in Monopoly. :thumbsup:
so each agenda had a "go out an buy another copy of LBP" line? lol
not surprising that rothbart won though, killzone 2 is more of a rental, not because of quality but because it is a finite game, you get to the end and, unless you do the multiplayer which is, lets face it, quite similar to other games, you are done. LBP keeps growing, 1 year later it is going to have tons of more levels.
karbaasi92 08-29-2009, 03:46 AM He who writes the agenda wins... it's kinda like the banker in Monopoly. :thumbsup:
If you do it right...when I play with my friends they always catch me. :undecided:
Congratz to your victory and BTW shouldn't you change your avatar since you Rothbeard is no more? :tongue:
Parky105 08-29-2009, 04:34 AM how much did the sumo lounge sofa/chair cost anyways?
RaiseHavok 08-29-2009, 06:28 AM how much did the sumo lounge sofa/chair cost anyways?
An English muffin.
Parky105 08-29-2009, 07:43 AM An English muffin.
Very funny *sigh* :grin:
Elbubblydingus 08-29-2009, 12:03 PM That's for giving us another show! Congrations Rothbart for winning the bet! And by the way, I noticed that there was no roomahs last show. I didn't want to bring it up cuz it would make me look like a whinner.
rothbart 08-29-2009, 12:30 PM how much did the sumo lounge sofa/chair cost anyways?
They're $150 (http://www.sumolounge.com/omni.php?re=na)
Parky105 08-29-2009, 12:46 PM They're $150 (http://www.sumolounge.com/omni.php?re=na)
wow, more expensive than I thought, so there was a lot on the line i suppose..:grin:
rothbart 08-29-2009, 01:01 PM wow, more expensive than I thought, so there was a lot on the line i suppose..:grin:
The chair I already have (http://www.sumolounge.com/sumosac.php?re=na) is currently $249 (was $299 at the time I got it!) The Gigantor (http://www.sumolounge.com/sumosacG.php?re=na) is $399.
Plus you'd have to figure in the remodeling expenses to make my living room big enough for the Gigantor.

it seems a weeny bit expensive for a bean bag chair...what makes them so expensive?!
MercenaryR56 08-29-2009, 03:56 PM Yea, $399 is a bit much for a huge bean bag chair. Are they even comfortable?
They should also have more color selection for the bigger models.
rothbart 08-29-2009, 03:57 PM what makes them so expensive?!
The price.
MercenaryR56 08-29-2009, 04:46 PM The price.
LOL, I laughed my ass off when I read that :lol:
Parky105 08-29-2009, 05:02 PM The price.
funny guy, I guess they call it Sarcastic Gamer for a reason :lol:
costaricardo 08-29-2009, 08:06 PM Congrats men, enjoy the chair but you know is gonna have a hidden bvd... the episode was good, not as good as the one you guys did last week (was in my top ten), still funny.
Gamebler 08-30-2009, 11:46 AM It makes sense, I guess, that LBP would sell more copies WORDWIDE. Not to take anything away from Killzone 2 (it's one of my favorite games on the PS3), but I'm guessing that LBP would just have more appeal to gamers outside of the U.S. First person shooters are uber popular here, but not as much elsewhere.
Batman: Arkham Asylum is great, and does last way longer if you're trying to get all the secret stuff and doing all the challenge rooms. I've spent more time in the challenge rooms (loving the Joker ones) than I have in the story. So far, I have the first place in all of the challenges amongst all my friends. I'm sure that'll change once all my friends really start getting into the challenge rooms more.
I hope you were able to get a copy, PacManPB. It's a great experience.

Yes, and you'll experience some of your greatest gaming moments during your encounters with Scarecrow. And the combat is great, and very smooth when you pull it off.
Bottom Line: Get it, now. :thumbsup:
GammaFist 08-30-2009, 08:02 PM Frawlz, why did you not beat the batman demo? I mean its not like you where gonna beat the game anyway.
EzyLee 08-31-2009, 05:46 PM Just a quick (boring) question for you guys, you mentioned in the podcast about the logo changing for the new PS3 'slim', do you think that they will phase out the spider man text logo all together. It occurred to me last night when I switched the PS3 on and the first thing you see is the PLAYSTATION 3 in the spiderman font on the screen.
I think that with the new 3.0 update it will change all instances where the logo appears on the interface. It should be a nice little refresh I think.
rothbart 08-31-2009, 05:50 PM I think that with the new 3.0 update it will change all instances where the logo appears on the interface. It should be a nice little refresh I think.
That's already been announced somewhere, the intro logo WILL be different once Firmware 3.0 drops (which I believe is tonight.) I believe that screen that did say "PLAYSTATION 3" will have multiple logos on it. My guess is the regular PS logo, the new PS3 logo, and probably something that says PlayStation 3.
EzyLee 08-31-2009, 07:19 PM Ah cool. I did see the video that showcased the new features of 3.0 but I wasn't really impressed with the interface in terms of it having a 'polished' look as the current interface. It looked like things were a little tacked on in my opinion. I hope that what they showed at the announcement of 3.0 was still a work in progress.
Not long to go to find out I guess.
Raven 08-31-2009, 07:22 PM there is a break in between the demo level. The room with the 5 guards in it is later on in the game compared to the demo (not much but enough to notice). The demo doesn't give anything away

yea I played and finished the demo and I still don't understand the story. BUT I have not played the full game so that is why
rothbart 09-01-2009, 11:03 AM Ah cool. I did see the video that showcased the new features of 3.0 but I wasn't really impressed with the interface in terms of it having a 'polished' look as the current interface. It looked like things were a little tacked on in my opinion. I hope that what they showed at the announcement of 3.0 was still a work in progress.
Not long to go to find out I guess.
There are a LOT of subtle tweaks to the interface that were never mentioned in that "preview" video... frankly, my favorite feature (so far) wasn't mentioned at all... New right-stick functionality during video playback FTW!
levi95psn 09-01-2009, 04:55 PM ATTENTION SG STAFF! SG-PSP SHALL NOT BE CANCELLED!! Have a nice day :)
GeminiPunk 09-02-2009, 11:11 AM aah, finally had a chance to catch up on last two episodes that I missed due to vacation.
Awesome job as usual guys on all fronts. I don't know if it's me or what but the last episode seemed more organized, you guys actually kept on topic and didn't deviate much, still keeping the humor and things that make this podcast pure awesome. :) Subway ride home would never be the same with out this podcast.
Pure kielbasa euphoria :D
I don't why I said that lol
rothbart 09-02-2009, 11:17 AM Pure kielbasa euphoria :D
I don't why I said that lol
I so want a shirt that says that! Maybe with an arrow pointing down... :lol:

Nice try... :thumbsup:
Parky105 09-03-2009, 04:11 PM Nice try... :thumbsup:
nice try (again)...we know you guys aren't leaving, I mean, why would they stop the most popular SG Podcast?
Frawlz 09-03-2009, 04:27 PM If this helps... their will not be an SG Blue this week.
A very important announcment is coming on Friday. STAY TUNED.
snclr 09-03-2009, 04:31 PM Dammit, I'm beginning to have Blue show withdrawals. You guys better not get cut..
Parky105 09-03-2009, 04:39 PM If this helps... their will not be an SG Blue this week.
A very important announcment is coming on Friday. STAY TUNED.
Frawlz don't do this to me buddy, is this supposed to keep us in suspense mode? :lol:
rothbart 09-04-2009, 04:19 AM Man... had people hounding me at The Blue Skittle Party tonight... I can't wait for tomorrow to roll around so the announcement is made and fates will be revealed. I'm ready for this to be over... I didn't think I would be, but I am. :undecided:
MercenaryR56 09-04-2009, 07:46 AM Man... had people hounding me at The Blue Skittle Party tonight... I can't wait for tomorrow to roll around so the announcement is made and fates will be revealed. I'm ready for this to be over... I didn't think I would be, but I am. :undecided:
We all know you guys aren't leaving =D
GeminiPunk 09-04-2009, 09:00 AM you can't do this to us... Geezus I'd rather be tortured by Jack Bauer, damn it!
Parky105 09-04-2009, 11:44 AM Do the SG staff seriously think that the community wants this aggrovation over who is leaving? I wish they would just tell us who is leaving without each podcast giving a false reason why it might be them... It's not making anyone any happier by keeping us in suspense it just exasibates things
Mini rant over
DEL673 09-04-2009, 12:02 PM Gotta say that is the blue show goes then I probably won't have anything to do with SG. Only started listening a month ago, but its friggin awesome.:angry::thumbsup::angry:
levi95psn 09-06-2009, 05:45 AM Hey rothbart, how's your new SUMO lounger? :P
rothbart 09-08-2009, 11:28 AM Hey rothbart, how's your new SUMO lounger? :P
I'm not sure... ask Frawlz if he ordered it yet...
CayennSG 09-10-2009, 11:58 PM its a sad day! lbp wins over killzone... somehow i never liked lbp, had a kind of too much of a kid game i think... may give it a new shoot later on...
Neebs 09-11-2009, 04:31 PM awww shnap.
frawlz loses, it was expected.
But really I need some SG blue, or imma asplode.
rothbart 09-11-2009, 05:14 PM But really I need some SG blue, or imma asplode.
I know there's an "in Frawlz's mouth" joke here somewhere, but I just can't find it... <--- that's what SHE said!
Wow, did I really just whip out a double there? Oh yeah, I did. :lol:
Ploogle 09-11-2009, 05:17 PM I know there's an "in Frawlz's mouth" joke here somewhere, but I just can't find it... <--- that's what SHE said!

You can't do a TWSS with your own post...that just isn't funny.
rothbart 09-11-2009, 05:20 PM You can't do a TWSS with your own post...that just isn't funny.
I consulted the rules and a secondary TWSS is allowed as long as the primary jokes stands on its own and wasn't constructed merely to facilitate the TWSS. Overruled. :tongue:
PacManPolarBear 09-11-2009, 07:14 PM Please give Frawlz a hard time. That is of course if your wondering where our latest episode is... :shocked:
Parky105 09-12-2009, 08:49 AM Please give Frawlz a hard time. That is of course if your wondering where our latest episode is... :shocked:
yeah, what's going on with that guys...you haven't recorded for almost 2 weeks (or has i been 2 weeks already?)
PacManPolarBear 09-12-2009, 01:18 PM yeah, what's going on with that guys...you haven't recorded for almost 2 weeks (or has i been 2 weeks already?)
Well we "officially" took the week of PAX off for obvious reasons. This past week, well...
RaiseHavok 09-12-2009, 01:52 PM Please give Frawlz a hard time. That is of course if your wondering where our latest episode is... :shocked:
I would be more than happy to fill in if one of the regulars can't make a show.
Parky105 09-12-2009, 02:35 PM Well we "officially" took the week of PAX off for obvious reasons. This past week, well...
Come on guys, your fans await! Get on with it, I'm getting withdraw from big black veiny dildos...
OctopussyMisterMussy 09-13-2009, 10:32 AM Well we "officially" took the week of PAX off for obvious reasons. This past week, well...
Go on PacMan I am curios XD ........
Each day without a really bad Arny rumors impression or a small child's cry of "weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" I get closer to listening to "Playstation nation" HAHA XD jokes !
rothbart 09-13-2009, 03:06 PM I would be more than happy to fill in if one of the regulars can't make a show.
We had a VERY short timeframe that was compatible with all our schedules and after we'd waited a reasonable amount of time, there was no time left to find a replacement and get the show recorded on time.
lockinator 09-14-2009, 06:23 PM Hay guys, am a new listener and have just finished all the old episodes and this one. I was one of the few that was hoping that frawlz would win the bet cause i love killzone 2 and now i'm gutted it got beat by lbg. Hows the sumo lounge chair rothbart? Anyway great show guys, looking forward to next episode, makes commute to work go a lot quicker.
GeminiPunk 09-15-2009, 02:58 PM Damn it, stop slacking around... *desperate voice* I need mah fix, I'm falling behind with mah PS3 news, rumarhs and stuff...
I gave you such a favorable review on iTunes *sad panda*
PacManPolarBear 09-15-2009, 04:31 PM We are (90% sure) recording tonight. Frawlz said he was "down"...so we should be in business.
snclr 09-15-2009, 04:35 PM Yeehaw, need to get my blue show on.. I had to go back and listen to the early ones.
PacManPolarBear 09-15-2009, 11:05 PM Ok folks, the latest episode of the blue show has been recorded. Guaranteed on its way this Friday (we are not at fault if aliens invade though).
Raven 09-15-2009, 11:17 PM Ok folks, the latest episode of the blue show has been recorded. Guaranteed on its way this Friday (we are not at fault if aliens invade though).
Well at least we know it is coming and its been recorded.
rothbart 09-15-2009, 11:26 PM Ha ha... Frawlz has gotten SO much crap over last week. I love it! :lol:
bug05 09-15-2009, 11:54 PM You know what, I love Frawlz. He's always the butt end of the jokes and he takes it gracefully. Hmm...He gracefully takes it in the...well you know what I mean.
Love the show guys. Keep it up. Hope to see you all at E3 next year.
nalowale1 09-16-2009, 03:52 AM Glad the show is on it's way, it's the only one I listen to on the regular. Lookin' forward to it.
GeminiPunk 09-16-2009, 08:22 AM yeah baby yeaaaaaaahhh... btw, you didn't get probed by the aliens did ya?:lol:
Megedo Incubus 09-17-2009, 10:17 PM I'm cannot wait to hear the next episode. That way I won't have to settle with having to listen to HDUD and the Red show. I can feel it making me dumber each time I have to listen to those two. If I get any dumber, I'll be on Xbot levels of intelligence. And that's between the Frawlz and Frawlz's Rock levels. (Not in that exact order. We all know Frawlz's Rock is smarter than he is. Hey, Frawlz, how many more trophies does your rock have than you now? :lol:)
GeminiPunk 09-18-2009, 08:39 AM oh snap!
Quinstar 09-18-2009, 09:50 AM Ha ha... Frawlz has gotten SO much crap over last week. I love it! :lol:
Speaking of...
Has anyone else noticed that of the 20 games Frawlz has trophies for he's only finished one. Linger in Shadows, which I'm not even sure could be considered a game. I think it's time for another gaming intervention.

Linger in Shadows is not a game, it's more like some art project.
Megedo Incubus 09-20-2009, 09:52 PM And considering how some of the more recent games are easy to beat, even Frawlz should be able to at least beat one. I think he could beat Batman: Arkham Asylum. It wasn't that hard to beat.
