rockbart!!! woo!!! nice podcast

Dave, that was the most *manly* joke, i mean, good takeout, but that joke just put you back to square one.

Oh yeah, I did the survey :D, not so quick :\

Snipers FTW! I can't wait for the patch, Today I got a headshot when I aimed almost 3 feet to the right of the guy's head! However, kill cam can die!

Dave, you were seriously funny with the take us out. However, you abused the joke and looked totally *manly* man, and screwed up another martini time. When will there be a non-screwed up Martini Time!?!?!

Ah well, just have to wait until next monday!

Great show guys. That's awesome that a great mind like Stephen Hawking is a subscriber to the podcast. That was awesome.

Rothbart you really should get in on some SGGN CoD4. I know you're not a fan of Live, but it's always a great time. I think I have a 48 hour code I can give you if you're interested.

Great show guys.

I agree with everything you said about the Guitar Hero guitars, But im quite biased of this because Rock Band isn't even out here yet!

All I have to say is Unlucky Doc. :p

Hilarious show. God Dave why are you such an Idiot. How could you mess up Martini time. LOL.

One thing though, you guy's talk too much about shooters and action games. You guy's need to talk about RPG's. I know you guy's talked about Mass Effect, butt what about the Elder scrolls, Fable, FF all those RPG's?

Good show.

Please get PS3s guys... I grow so tired of you have next to no idea about anything that system can do. Your talk about Warhawk last episode was hilarious, and died pretty fast.

Other than that tiny rant, I absolutely love the show. I've been listening since the beginning, and though I'm not terribly active on the forums, I'm an absolutely gigantic fan of everything you guys are doing. SarcasticGamer is nothing short of epic. Absolute win.

Great show again guys, btw the kill cam, and how the person who is not alive can speak to the person who is, it's called ghosting :S

You made me say that I wasn't going to buy video games at wal-mart anymore.

Good job on being rickrolled, doc. XD

Yaaaaay rothbart!

Good podcast guys, keep em coming!

oh and anyone who believed Doc has also been rickrolled...so yeh, nice one :P

Yeah we can donate to the guys to get ps3s.

I think they have already made plans to get ps3s. The SG T-shirts that will be coming soon will probably help them towards games, ps3s and the site hosting bill. I will 100% buy a T-shirt btw once I've set up my pay pal account and have it linked to my bank account.

Yaaaaay rothbart!

Good podcast guys, keep em coming!



Kiss ass :D

AND Great show guys!

Awesome Dave Take's Us Out. Plus, his Martini Time was pretty funny. Made me laugh. Only one minor problem with me. Rothbart didn't get one minute of air time. All the guests get those. Why not Rothbart?:confused:

Can someone get me the link to Ala Douche's story I want know where he got his name from. I can't find it on the forums.

its in the "how did you pick your forum sig name thing" thingy. I think it was just because a mate called him Ala Douche once, might have been stoned in my view, and apparently it stuck, i think, cant really remember, its not really as gross or amazing as many might think...i think, i can't remember :P

It's amazing the perceptions we build of people when we've never even met or heard them. I thought Rothbart's voice would be a lot deeper.

Right here. Page 4, halfway down.

Good show as always and nice to hear Rothbart but I had to listen to this through the site as it is not listed in itunes - not sure why.

Also you said that you had 300 reviews on itunes but in the UK it says you have 92. Just wondering whether this is a seperate number or was included in the 300?:confused:

Rothbart didn't get one minute of air time. All the guests get those. Why not Rothbart?:confused:

I was actually waiting on that... it was what I was dreading the most because I thought they would've put great time and effort into making the subject something awkward that I couldn't have possibly prepared for. "And now Rothbart, give us one minute of uninterrupted airtime on your take of the portrayal of women in the GTA games" or some stuff like that...

I hope rothbart comes back...:)

It was also great to have rothbart on the podcast.

Glad to see you make it as part of the regulars, Roth-man!

Thanks for the kind words guys. The show was really fun to do. It's always interesting to see the "behind the scenes" versus "finished product" of podcast recording. Schedule permitting, I'm always willing to be on the show.

Wait... did Lono say that the EU gamer nights are on Saturdays?
They're actually every Friday night, which is Saturday in Australia, indeed, but as far as I know Lono lives in Chicago.
10 pm GMT, i.e. when we do the gaming nights, is 4pm CST, and 8:30am ACST (that's Australian CST) on Saturdays.

I'm pretty sure he said that they happened at the same time as the north american gamer nights, which are on friday...

the europeans ones are a bit earlier though.

I was the one who sparked the "Let's boycott Wal-Mart" fiasco. Good times. I still want to riot though.

Good to hear Rothbart/Rockbarts voice on the podcast.

Don't be so hard on yourself. Besides, I heard they're coming out with a patch to make thinking easier.

WHERE IS THE HUMPDAY-UPDATE 2-20-08!?!?!??!?

I have been waiting it all day. Getting desperate. Might even start playing that driving game on wii that came with steering attachment, which's name I can't remeber now.

I think more powerful Sniper Rifles is a good move because I always see people sniping with LMGs, which is far too eay. Hopefully this will encourage more people to snipe with snipers.

Also, when sniping, staying on the scope for a few seconds after a kill stops people working out your location with Killcam.
