rothbart 07-28-2007, 01:06 AM Wow, I think you guys TOTALLY overcredit Peter Moore... he was a leader and a front man, but to credit him as doing all the things you said he was responsible for... Hmmm....
And Lono pwned you guys with his counter questions on that topic... Kudos Lono.
Regarding MGS4: I posted on this over on GCN, but there is clear evidence that MGS4 will stay exclusive. What "evidence" is there of it going multiplatform. I am not familiar with the OXM stuff mentioned, what is it? Check this post (http://www.gamercastnetwork.com/forums/showpost.php?p=87748&postcount=14) and this post (http://www.gamercastnetwork.com/forums/showpost.php?p=87809&postcount=21).
CrAzE 07-28-2007, 02:48 AM The count down for the next one starts.........Now!
Bauer22 07-28-2007, 04:24 AM Sow when you say for us to be your street crew do you mean for us to get in random fender benders and then ask the other driver if they ever heard of SG. Got it!
Ok now with the forums.
Hey guys I just saw the funny Wii Fit parody on this website called sarcasticgamer.com. Check it out!
Anything you say Doc. :D

HPaladino 07-28-2007, 11:14 AM great show to all (and doc)...
Lono_Lives 07-28-2007, 11:32 AM "What "evidence" is there of it going multiplatform?"
Rothbart, I was just referring to Konami's history of putting "exclusive" games on other platforms such as "Two snakes." Plus, if there's only 5 million PS3 owners when MSG4 comes out, that will put a lot of pressure on Konami to release it on other platforms. I could be wrong. But not likely.

VinDali 07-28-2007, 02:20 PM Another Great show guys!! I've commented on iTunes and recommended it to friends all the time. My sister hates me right now because she can't get Ring of Fire out of her head - LOL.
Personally I do blame Peter Moore. I guess due to that fact my 360 had been in for repairs for a month when he announced he was leaving, then got eaten by that bear. But the 360 is back, so hit me up for some Rainbow - Can't stop playing that one, especially with the new maps.
Keep up the great work - and Lono, Go Cubs!!
Hotcooler 07-28-2007, 02:22 PM Great show as always!
P.S. May be put countdown clock to the next podcast on first page?
CaptainDDL 07-28-2007, 04:46 PM You guys are impatient. :p Downloading the podcast now, I'll comment later.
CaptainDDL 07-28-2007, 06:32 PM Heh, nice. It was a wonderful way to spend a half hour. :p
CrAzE 07-29-2007, 12:12 AM How can you guys like Rainbow???
I got it and haven't played it ever since the first time...
Lono_Lives 07-29-2007, 01:13 AM Craze, i hope you aren't serious. if you are, i want to know what games you're playing besides Rainbow Six????? Twiddle your thums ? Box the clown? Sleep????? What is better than Rainbow Six???
CaptainDDL 07-29-2007, 01:31 AM GoW, especially the Annex mode, is a lot of fun. :p
catfacts 07-29-2007, 02:24 AM I followed the instruction to come here and tell you it sucked, but actually i love em'
CrAzE 07-29-2007, 03:33 AM Teach me to love Rainbow like you guys!Please!
CaptainDDL 07-29-2007, 03:42 AM I'd make a parody using the "Step one" stuff from the 'No Freakin' Games' parody [a double parody?! *gasp*], but it's 3am. :p
But yeah, play the single player campaign, download the free multiplayer map packs, and then play online with your friends [assuming you have any]. After a few matches, you're hooked!
And this is my informal plea for a SG gaming night. Anyone feel like setting it up?
CrAzE 07-29-2007, 03:44 AM I have no Friends.
CaptainDDL 07-29-2007, 03:47 AM Then get some. =)
CrAzE 07-29-2007, 03:56 AM Want to be my friend?
CaptainDDL 07-29-2007, 04:09 AM After your last post in the iPhone thread...I don't think so. Sorry. =) However, I'm sure somebody would love to be your friend!
CrAzE 07-29-2007, 04:29 AM I said I rather buy a ps3 than an Iphone....Wouldn't you....Be honest.Wouldn't buy yourself a Ps3 which is 500 and a game or two.Than buying an Iphone...I definetly would.What so wrong with the Ps3.If you ask me what you said "After your last post in the iPhone thread...I don't think so. Sorry." Sound a little Fanboy a bit....
Lono_Lives 07-29-2007, 04:33 AM What the hell is it with you and the iphone craze???? just get both an iphone and ps3 like the rest of us. :P
CrAzE 07-29-2007, 04:39 AM What the hell is it with you and the iphone craze???? just get both an iphone and ps3 like the rest of us. :P
LOL!
Would you be my Friend?
Phoenixdive 07-29-2007, 06:22 AM Want to be my friend?
I would be your friend, but I do not speak, write nor do I understand english.
My most sincere apologies.
VinDali 07-29-2007, 09:59 AM Rainbow is the best. I had high hopes for GRAW 2 after Rainbow, but it was just missing something...
Re: That couple in Reno - can't believe he spent $50K in inheritance money to buy a flat screen TV, and other electronics, to play D&D online.
CaptainDDL 07-29-2007, 11:29 AM Lono, you have a PS3? Rich lawyers. *shakes head*
CharlieBlix 07-29-2007, 01:49 PM Want to be my friend?
I'll be your friend CrAzE. Now do I get money or something out of this?
Lono_Lives 07-29-2007, 08:01 PM Lono, you have a PS3? Rich lawyers. *shakes head*
I don't have a PS3... I was being SARCASTIC.... heh heh..... get it. um, ok.
CaptainDDL 07-29-2007, 09:05 PM You're funny. =)
You're funny. =)
You still sore DDL? Is your truck totalled?
CaptainDDL 07-30-2007, 07:57 PM Whiplash, actually. And the cab's screwed up, so it'd cost more to fix it than to get a new truck. =)

Well, I'm glad you're alive and able to program forums. WHew.;)
dslover 08-08-2007, 03:00 PM great show keep it going
Lono_Lives 08-08-2007, 04:35 PM We'll be recording episode 4 on monday.... Hopefully we'll have a separate podcast with our interviews from Quakecon up next week too.

A Video Podcast with the Frag Dolls?
lol
Lono_Lives 08-13-2007, 05:00 PM Podcast 4 will be taping tonight. I'm sure there will be a ton of Quakecon interviews and all sorts of other goodies. Should be out by the end of the week!!!
rothbart 08-17-2007, 02:11 AM Okay, okay, this is "old news" by now but I've got to do two things before we move on to Episode 4.
1. Call out Doc for what exactly Peter Moore did to make him worthy of the gushing you gave him. I mean he wasn't "all that". Tell me specifically what he did. I'm not looking for abstracts, I'm talking specific. And any proof that he was responsible for what you name would be appreciated. IMO, he was a less-slimey front man than a lot of companies have. He was personable. I gather he could rally the troops and hold himself well. Other than that, I'm not sure what else you could definitively pin on him. Being above people that makes thing happen doesn't automatically mean you get the credit... I mean look at our President.
2. Lono, you deserve crazy props for standing up to Doc and I 100% agree with everything you said on the Peter Moore topic. Doc, if you give Peter Moore the benefit of the doubt that he did all those great things then he absolutely deserves to be connected to the not so great things... and the numbers Lono couldn't think of on the spot were the total system sales projections that they were leading the press into and then actually coming in millions of units lower (http://www.betanews.com/article/Microsoft_Slashes_Xbox_360_Sales_Estimates/1169838634). They did squander their year-long headstart that should've made dominating this generation a LOT easier... as it is, they're having to constantly check their rear view mirror to head off Nintendo as they're trying to pass... While I have no indication that Don Mattrick is the guy for the job, I think Microsoft isn't any worse off without Moore. Crediting Moore with how the RRoD warranty extension was handled is kinda silly... they're doing their darnedest to keep from having to deal with a class action lawsuit that might involved publicly revealing their failure rates... and since Sony's gone ahead and mentioned that the PS3's failure rate sits at about 0.2% (http://news.spong.com/article/13491), it would be a pretty devastating PR blow to be forced to have to publicly admit your product is in the neighborhood of TWO ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE more prone to failure than your competition.
CaptainDDL 08-17-2007, 09:15 AM Well, in the 30-minute gaming session we had last night, Doc said he was going to edit the podcast today. I think it's too late to add content, but I'm not for sure.

Sorry Rothbart, but we recorded the podcast on Monday. Its all Quakecon all the time, plus some other stuff....
rothbart 08-17-2007, 02:35 PM No guys, I never meant to add content to the show, I just wanted to comment in the show notes before we moved on to threads about a new episode.
Ventilaator 06-18-2008, 02:30 AM I know it's a year old, but I just signed up for the RSS feed and started listening to all the podcasts starting from the first one.
What I wanted to say is... Respect +10 for Doc (if I am not mistaken, I repeat, I am new), his speech about how parenting always comes first and how he has to put the controller down because someone is crying was really cool. I never thought that a person so into gaming (C'mon, you have a website dedicated to it) could possibly be such a great parent. Any father I know (Including mine) when gaming, usually tell their kids to shut up if they start crying for some reason.
Great show and I'll be sure to listen to every single podcast up to episode 45 in the following weeks.
WVU COLE 06-21-2008, 05:19 PM I know this is a little late to be saying this but I just listened to this episode today and all I can say is WTF??? Seriously bashing west virginia for what? And I am so sure the states you guys live in are so superior in every way. And thats there is nothing wrong there at all. Seriously you guys just started bashing west virginia out of no where saying that everyone from west virginia plays a banjo and is innerbred and that we don't have internet. I know this post is going to get no attention at all but still wtf?
rothbart 06-22-2008, 12:08 AM We're equal opportunity offenders... I get made fun of on virtually every episode of the Red show... :lol:
BlueDubs 06-23-2008, 05:07 AM We're equal opportunity offenders... I get made fun of on virtually every episode of the Red show... :lol:
But you don't actually cut your hair with a hunting knife, do you?
