ShockwaveLover 01-21-2008, 02:14 AM Yes! I'm the first to reply to this thread! Will report more whe nI've actually heard the podcast!
Griffin999 01-21-2008, 02:33 AM lol nice pic, listening to podcast now
zbiggie 01-21-2008, 04:53 AM Dave, I don't know if it was just me, but when Dave sang that song he completely sounded like tenacious d, ....off tune , but still like tenacious d,
I vote he sings on every episode, or at least once in a while, that was awesome of him to do
NecrisJ1MM 01-21-2008, 04:56 AM sucks that supa's not gonna be on regularly. he's got school or something i figure. but the show must go on. i wonder who they meant by "guests", though.
PS3? Meh.
Yes! I'm the first to reply to this thread! Will report more whe nI've actually heard the podcast!
first post whore >_>
ShockwaveLover 01-21-2008, 05:11 AM first post whore >_>
You snooze you lose!
Maybe we should hold a poll to see who we would like to see on Sarcastic Gamer? I reckon we bring back Calyber!
More SGer's on the podcast would be good also. I nominate myself. Do I have any support?
PopTrogdor 01-21-2008, 06:48 AM Loved the podcast again guys, good job, and the Ps3 is getting more air time yay, finally. And make lono play a ps3 please!
one last note though, since when was phil harrison Australian? Hes English, so er... saying G'day Mate...kinda doesnt work :P So yeh, Australia has a different accent to us English :D
But loved it all the same, sorry to hear Alex wont be on the podcast as much, hes an awesome part of the team!
viatrophy 01-21-2008, 07:32 AM Great show guys!
I told you all there was a announcement. ;)
You all should have faith in me. :D
We'll miss you Alex!
regua 01-21-2008, 08:57 AM Have fun with whatever you're doing that's more important than Sarcastic Gamer, Alex!
More SGer's on the podcast would be good also. I nominate myself. Do I have any support?
Yes! I'd really like to hear the forum members on the podcast. Especially DemonicDerek and ReGGsRoom :D
MightyMutt 01-21-2008, 09:50 AM Cheers Alex. Thanks for all your hard work on SG. You may be gone but not forgotten - not till at least next week anyway! Good luck in whatever you are doing but I'm sure we will all hear from you again soon.
Artemas 01-21-2008, 10:10 AM Geat show guys!
Chexd 01-21-2008, 11:05 AM you'll definitely be missed Alex :) Thanks for all the laughs!
I liked your AUSTRALIAN Phill Harrison by the way Doc :D
SpiralGray 01-21-2008, 11:28 AM Being a bit of a home theater hobbyist, I can make an educated guess as to why the Full RGB isn't enabled by default. Based on my research, this 'turns on' the xvYCC capabilities of the box (not the Deep Color as some have speculated). If your TV doesn't support xvYCC you will, at worst, get no picture at all (which would make it very difficult to change the settings) or at best get a sub-par picture with crushed blacks and loss of detail (see this thread (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=967106) for more info).
Bottom line, giving out the general advice to "set RGB to Full" is doing a disservice. You will only gain benefit from doing so if your TV supports it, and for your TV to support it you would have to have purchased in the last few months. When I was shopping for a new HDTV three months ago the vast majority of them were still supporting HDMI 1.2. Mitsubishi, Pioneer, and Sony (the XBR series) were among the few supporting 1.3 at the time, and then only in their latest sets (some of which weren't even widely available at the time).
P.S. If your TV supports it and you set RGB to Full, you should probably recalibrate your set (you did calibrate it in the first place, right?). If you don't want to pay the ~$400 for a professional calibration you can do it yourself with something like Avia (http://www.ovationmultimedia.com/avia.html) or Digital Video Essentials (http://www.videoessentials.com/DVE_HDBasics.php).
SupaSlick 01-21-2008, 12:29 PM sucks that supa's not gonna be on regularly. he's got school or something i figure. but the show must go on. i wonder who they meant by "guests", though.
PS3? Meh.
first post whore >_>
Actually it has to do with my job ... feb, may, and november are extremely busy for me, and I have to work much later hours, unfortunately.
SupaSlick 01-21-2008, 12:30 PM But loved it all the same, sorry to hear Alex wont be on the podcast as much, hes an awesome part of the team!
Thanks, much appreciated! I will still be on the show from time to time.
VinDali 01-21-2008, 12:36 PM Great show as always guys.
Supa, sorry to hear your leaving as a regular on the podcast.
Now I can move in and it'll be 2 guys from Texas and 2 guys from ChiTown :D
Hey Lono, thanks for giving my friend MartinBlank2007 a shout out/thank you for his iTunes review. I've recently got him hooked on the show even though I've been telling him to listen for 6 months. When will people learn to listen to the Dali Lama?? :)
naruto20 01-21-2008, 12:45 PM Go supa go. :0
animathias 01-21-2008, 01:22 PM Dave, I don't know if it was just me, but when Dave sang that song he completely sounded like tenacious d, ....off tune , but still like tenacious d,
I vote he sings on every episode, or at least once in a while, that was awesome of him to do
I thought it was just me. He was channelling Jables there, just not doing a great job of it :rolleyes:. I have to admit, though, I laughed my ass off during the entire thing.
'Twas a wonderful show guys, I'm excited about the Humpday Update, and I'm looking forward to where Sarcastic Gamer goes in the future. Here's hoping for a wile ride.
As for Mr. Alex 'SupaSlick' - I hope work doesn't suck too much for ya, buddy. I'm sure your job is WAAY more important than mine, but we're just starting to head into our busy season - so I feel what you're going through. If you ever need to shake off a hard day's work by shooting some people in the face, you know where to find us :D.
NecrisJ1MM 01-21-2008, 01:28 PM Actually it has to do with my job ... feb, may, and november are extremely busy for me, and I have to work much later hours, unfortunately.
Ah, I see, well that still sucks, but as long as the job keeps you funded for more games. It's worth it. :P
Good luck.
naruto20 01-21-2008, 01:34 PM Boooo dave screwed the end.
Frawlz 01-21-2008, 01:34 PM Chewy is going to have an ego complex soon. I can't wait.
Bauer22 01-21-2008, 01:43 PM Wow. The news in Florida better be good! Hope you don't go far from the forums. (Hope his replacement is better at taking out shows...:D)
So Dave's got a crush on that GH chick. I thought he was the best in moving his hand down a stick?
Can't wait for the "Humpday Updates". That makes it 2 shows! That's more then Major Nelson's. A course his is longer then these two combine but still, 2!!!
mrpuggywuggy 01-21-2008, 01:44 PM great show again guys the news section for mgs 4 on the wii was very funny.
It is going to be strange not having alex on the show he is a cool member of the team i hope you get back soon supaslick.
And boy that anti bell is creepy it sounds like something from the omen.
VinDali 01-21-2008, 01:48 PM I almost forgot .
:D Welcome Back Paul Christy!! :D
We've missed you.

The triumphant returnof SG News with Paul Christy
YES!! NO WAY!! i was gonna ask you about that! nice, whatever happend to him anywayz?:confused:
bolovan 01-21-2008, 02:03 PM We’ll miss you Alex:(
GideonB 01-21-2008, 02:49 PM NO!!! THE ONLY GOOD PRESENTER IS GONE!!! CRAP!!! Why does the only 360 player in Florida (According to Sarcastic Gamer) have to go!!! I think he is really cool. He behind Dave in extemely crap Take us Out, but Dave's are more retarded so thats good. Hopefully this new update thing on wednesday will be great like always. SG.com PODCAST RULES!
SupaSlick 01-21-2008, 03:11 PM Thank you all for the kind words! If I ever get a shot at another take it out, I'll make it a good one! Or at least try to. I was totally surprised at the end of the show!
smon jiff 01-21-2008, 03:11 PM Sweet! witness the return of Paul Christy, the only news reporter with powers to rival those of Ron Burgandy.
naruto20 01-21-2008, 03:12 PM Thank you all for the kind words! If I ever get a shot at another take it out, I'll make it a good one! Or at least try to. I was totally surprised at the end of the show!
We all love you supa also lono :D.
chewy gone evil 01-21-2008, 04:39 PM Chewy is going to have an ego complex soon. I can't wait.
I already do. My Ego and I are very happy together.
So... Who wants to touch me? I said who wants to f***ing touch me?
Ploogle 01-21-2008, 06:23 PM Doc, you're wrong about Brawl. I met someone who works for Nintendo, and he said that they're just tweaking the WiFi and ironing out the kinks to make sure it runs smoothly. They're doing what Microsoft didn't: anticipating a server overload. That's all that's going on; it'll make the release date...
*still listening to podcast*
strika234 01-21-2008, 06:26 PM Its so sad to see u go supa, but good luck anyways!:)
btw ploogle, why'd u change ur pokemons appearence?
Its merely a dead magikarp now...
photomaster94 01-21-2008, 06:44 PM so long alex, i shall miss you. shall you be returning after the 3 months?
Ploogle 01-21-2008, 06:47 PM btw ploogle, why'd u change ur pokemons appearence?
Its merely a dead magikarp now...
It's a hilariously crappy site I found called pokeplushies. You adopt a "pokeball" or whatever and then it "hatches" on a certain date. I changed it so it's not as cluttered with two pictures.
More SGer's on the podcast would be good also. I nominate myself. Do I have any support?
...No. :D That's a good idea, though. I vote we vote to consider a nomination for forum members we'd like to see on at least one episode.
viatrophy 01-21-2008, 06:52 PM It's a hilariously crappy site I found called pokeplushies. You adopt a "pokeball" or whatever and then it "hatches" on a certain date. I changed it so it's not as cluttered with two pictures.
...No. :D That's a good idea, though. I vote we vote to consider a nomination for forum members we'd like to see on at least one episode.
Agreed.
That'd be a great idea for them.
But it'll probably have to stay within the USA due to if it goes to the united kingdom etc. its going to cost a hell of a lot for the 30 minute phone call.
Ploogle 01-21-2008, 06:57 PM Yeah, it would...although what about cell phones? Do those cost more to call out of country?
You could always try and get a computer mic set up...
viatrophy 01-21-2008, 07:07 PM Yeah, it would...although what about cell phones? Do those cost more to call out of country?
You could always try and get a computer mic set up...
Cell phones would be even more. And I mean ALOT more.
The computer mic way might work, but the audio quality could be pretty crappy.
Ploogle 01-21-2008, 07:09 PM Yeah, you'd probably have to limit it to the US...
...ah well. I'm not in Europe, so I can't really say that I care much! :D
Chrono 01-21-2008, 07:15 PM Aww no more alex on the podcast.
Good job on the show supa and now they get to pick on dave more
Inzader 01-21-2008, 08:15 PM I LOVE YOU ALEX <Insert Fan Girl Dieing scream ala Beatles>
Maybe i could guest in place. Maybe? Please, maybe? No. I thought so, hey I can dream.
Frawlz 01-21-2008, 08:39 PM I already do. My Ego and I are very happy together.
So... Who wants to touch me? I said who wants to f***ing touch me?
And go to jail??? Arn't you like 16?
Oh, and I don't like you in that way.
I think.
Applepie 01-21-2008, 08:56 PM It hasn't showed up yet on the store yet for me.
I dont know why.
Shane86 01-21-2008, 08:56 PM I'm going to miss Alex being bullied on the podcast :p
I guess it's Dave's turn again :D
ShockwaveLover 01-21-2008, 09:13 PM ...No. :D That's a good idea, though. I vote we vote to consider a nomination for forum members we'd like to see on at least one episode.
Your chances of being in my ratings system just fell through the floor.
Applepie 01-21-2008, 09:18 PM I'm going to miss Alex being bullied on the podcast :p
I guess it's Dave's turn again :D
Thanks for ruining the ending for me.

DieLozer 01-21-2008, 10:17 PM Alex being off the team made me sad...I actually almost cried...So I created an account on the forums just to post about my sadness. Sniffle.
animathias 01-21-2008, 10:36 PM Alex being off the team made me sad...I actually almost cried...So I created an account on the forums just to post about my sadness. Sniffle.
It'll be alright, I'm sure he'll show up every now and then in the forums to complain about something.
Just kidding, Alex! We love you! :D
chewy gone evil 01-21-2008, 11:31 PM And go to jail??? Arn't you like 16?
Oh, and I don't like you in that way.
I think.
I'm 17, above age of consent, and totally legal in June. Im not into it but, you can be for the price of membership to my new website! (coming June 25th)
pshh. im not doing that crap. too much work

Thanks for taking it up creepy trail to gay mountain. Real nice.
Shane86 01-22-2008, 09:03 AM Thanks for ruining the ending for me.

Maybe try listening to the podcast before entering its discussion thread? :rolleyes:
Frawlz 01-22-2008, 09:54 AM Thanks for taking it up creepy trail to gay mountain. Real nice.
There is a creepy trail? I just thought you had to take the back roads.
Beside that...
I just thew up a little in my mouth after reading your last post chewy. Your sicker then I am. BLAH!
Spoofmaniac 01-22-2008, 10:12 AM Ignoring whatever just happened behind me. Not looking back. Great show guys, but it's sad to hear Alex had to leave.
Ploogle 01-22-2008, 12:29 PM Your chances of being in my ratings system just fell through the floor.
I don't want to be in it anyways, not if it's gonna be a "suck up to ShockwaveLover" contest.
I'd like to hear what a mod thinks of the idea...
Chrono 01-22-2008, 02:58 PM Who is gonna represent the fighting games now :-(
SupaSlick 01-22-2008, 03:37 PM Who is gonna represent the fighting games now :-(
I'm not going anywhere - I just won't be on the show every week. My vigilance to keep fighting games alive will live on!
chewy gone evil 01-22-2008, 03:55 PM im pretty sure i turned right back around on creepy trail at the end of the post. i never hit the summit
Rekenmachine 01-22-2008, 04:16 PM im pretty sure i turned right back around on creepy trail at the end of the post. i never hit the summit
What you do on your own time is just fine, we just never want to know... So, for the sanity of everyone here, do not elaborate on that subject.
Great show guys and I'm definitely looking forward to tomorrow ;).
I also wish Alex good luck with whatever it is he has to do in the upcoming months.
Frawlz 01-22-2008, 05:16 PM im pretty sure i turned right back around on creepy trail at the end of the post. i never hit the summit
Don't you mean the bottom of the crev-ass?
Ploogle 01-22-2008, 07:44 PM Frawlz...no. Please, no.
Applepie 01-22-2008, 08:31 PM Maybe try listening to the podcast before entering its discussion thread? :rolleyes:
Thanks for ruining my stupidity for me!

calmHERETIK 01-22-2008, 09:12 PM great show we are gonna miss u supa!!
MadMikeMan 01-22-2008, 09:35 PM ok alex, I have a system worked out for you, all the time you would normally use playing xbox, instead use it to post on the forums, to make up for teh lack of you on the podcast.
Tinman 01-22-2008, 09:39 PM I was one of those two people!
ShockwaveLover 01-23-2008, 08:31 PM I don't want to be in it anyways, not if it's gonna be a "suck up to ShockwaveLover" contest.
I'd like to hear what a mod thinks of the idea...
Sorry Ploogle, there should have been a :p, a :D, or a ;) at the end of that.
Ploogle 01-24-2008, 01:10 PM Are you so sure about that? I wasn't joking.
For the record, the second line is completely seperate from the first. I'd like to hear what the mods think of some SGers getting on the podcast.
SupaSlick 01-24-2008, 01:32 PM I was one of those two people!
Thanks and much appreciated. I like to do what I can for my 2 fans!
SupaSlick 01-24-2008, 01:33 PM ok alex, I have a system worked out for you, all the time you would normally use playing xbox, instead use it to post on the forums, to make up for teh lack of you on the podcast.
Considering I've barely had time to play Xbox at all, that wouldn't be much! But don't worry, I'm getting back into both my 360 and the forums now. :)
ShockwaveLover 01-24-2008, 08:40 PM Are you so sure about that? I wasn't joking.
For the record, the second line is completely seperate from the first. I'd like to hear what the mods think of some SGers getting on the podcast.
Whoops, sorry, I meant that there should have been a :p etc. at the end of MY post. Not yours. I was kidding. For the record, you're still in the running.
Tinman 01-24-2008, 11:10 PM Thanks and much appreciated. I like to do what I can for my 2 fans!
Well in that case could I borrow like, 50 bucks?
naruto20 01-25-2008, 09:49 AM Thanks lano i mean leno :D I didnt hear my name untill after the itunes thing XD.
Ploogle 01-26-2008, 06:38 PM Whoops, sorry, I meant that there should have been a :p etc. at the end of MY post. Not yours. I was kidding. For the record, you're still in the running.
Whoah, misunderstanding! S'okay, now I get it! :D
Thanks lano i mean leno
I seriously hope that's a joke! :p
Bacontastic 01-26-2008, 11:29 PM Just got around to listening to this one today...You'll be missed, Supa! :)
naruto20 01-27-2008, 04:50 AM Whoah, misunderstanding! S'okay, now I get it! :D
I seriously hope that's a joke! :p
Yep.
Lono :P
animathias 01-27-2008, 05:37 AM I just listened to it again (I forgot what the anti-bell was called, now I will never forget). And I've gotta ask, Lono - were you about to say my name when you were cut off? Then Chewy was mentioned. Haha. I'm not as egotistical as our Evil friend here, but that's going to bug me if I don't find out.
