^ 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

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.

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.

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, 04:56 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.

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:

Frawlz, why did you not beat the batman demo? I mean its not like you where gonna beat the game anyway.

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

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, 08:19 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, 08:22 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

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!

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.

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

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:)

Linger in Shadows is not a game, it's more like some art project.
