darkwonders 06-16-2008, 01:48 AM woo! listening to it now :thumbsup:
MadMikeMan 06-16-2008, 02:04 AM yah, can't wait to hear what lono thinks about battlefield and who won the contest.
darkwonders 06-16-2008, 02:17 AM oh Dave, btw Solid Snake isn't old...well not technically... The nanomachines... or something along those lines accelerated his aging... so that's why he looks old
Shane86 06-16-2008, 02:34 AM I don't blame Lono for buying battlefield, they removed the purchasable weapons after all.
BlueDubs 06-16-2008, 03:52 AM Why are there two of these threads?
Anyway, I thought the Demo of BF:BC was ok..................not great, but ok.
BlueDubs 06-16-2008, 03:54 AM oh Dave, btw Solid Snake isn't old...well not technically... The nanomachines... or something along those lines accelerated his aging... so that's why he looks old
Is it not because its in his genes, and it is his natural lifespan.
Oh, and its Lono's money. He can do what he likes with his money.
ShelbyF 06-16-2008, 06:07 AM Is it not because its in his genes, and it is his natural lifespan.
Oh, and its Lono's money. He can do what he likes with his money.That's what I remember. I think because he's a clone he ages faster or something like that. I don't really remember, there's too much crap to keep up with in MGS.
Way to man up and admit you were wrong, Lono. Not like it was that big of a deal, but way to go.
Also, the Battlefield: Bad Company demo is amazing. Single player is terrible, but that multiplayer is just fantastic. I find it to be the most fun when youre playing as the defenders and you're constantly finding new spots to use as cover after all of your walls have been blown away. I also seem to do a lot better as a defender. I was even surprised when I finished with the most points in a couple of games.
JasonSoft 06-16-2008, 06:28 AM HAAHAAHAH Holy cripes....
Lono repeatedly screwing up in slow motion, frickin HILARIOUS AND he totally deserved to be focused on like that considering this:

my response: "How am I selling out? At no time did I ever say that I wouldn't buy that edition? We did the boycott based on principle. The principle of selling guns as micro transactions. We won and got those guns to be included in the game, after you've achieved level 25.
I really like this game. I have the money to buy whatever edition that comes out. I'm buying the collectors edition of the game. It's certainly not the first collectors edition I've ever purchased. Calling me a hypocrite really doesn't fit here, but say what you will, PARTLY because of what I did, you all don't have to pay for the extra content, if you don't want to."
Kingofall32 06-16-2008, 06:44 AM Good job for being a man Lono-twice. You earn it, you spend it. I don't think you would want anyone else spending your money, eh ?
DeathByWaffle 06-16-2008, 06:48 AM That slow mo ending had me laughing like a little girl.
No joke :D

What A Shame
MightyMutt 06-16-2008, 08:06 AM I believe Lono only announced that he is pre-ordering the Special Edition of BF:BC to hide the much bigger news.
Not only was Lono wrong about something - but he also admitted it! - On the podcast!
The BF:BC thing is a thinly veiled disguise designed to prevent everyone from talking about it and is totally unrelated to the large sums of money that EA have deposited in a number of Lono' off shore accounts. :tongue::lol:

BTW good show today, mgs 4 is a god and endwar beta out today!!!!!!!!!
DeathByWaffle 06-16-2008, 10:38 AM There is already a dumb thread about the so called Lonogate, so do you really need to post about it in here as well? I know this is a thread about the podcast, but if you want to post about it in here there is no need for the other thread, and vice versa.
naruto20 06-16-2008, 10:53 AM Damn it dave screwing with solid snake THATS NOT HIS VOICE FOR MGS 4 david bring down the hamma!!
darkwonders 06-16-2008, 12:16 PM Is it not because its in his genes, and it is his natural lifespan.
Oh, and its Lono's money. He can do what he likes with his money.
oh yeah He was made that way... but he wouldn't be that old if they had set up his genes to act normally... So years wise he's not that old
kingofnoland 06-16-2008, 12:46 PM I've always though COD3 was a great game. yeah not as good as the others, but not as bad as people make out.

Uno? Are you not buying the game? I've spent a ton of money on EA stuff... Rock Band, Battlefield series of games, fight night round 3, Burnout paradise.... Heck, I've spent more money on Rockband and the RB songs than anything else...
We did what we did so people wouldn't get nickle and dimed by EA. We won. the boycott is over, it's BEEN over. We've always said that we liked the game and would buy it when the boycott was over. How did I sell out?
BigAndiD 06-16-2008, 01:17 PM Great show guys, as per the norm.
To use the now infamous sarcasticgamer phrase "you give me a break" I recon you should stop jumping on the band wagon, and give lono a break.
We all know about the boycott, its over, let’s move on.
This is a guy, who tried a demo, and shock horror, liked the game, what’s the big deal?
You watch how many sarcasticgamer's will be playing the game...
Diortem 06-16-2008, 02:14 PM Great show, and eveyone get off Lono's back! I think this is the first time Ive ever concidered joining a XDF... in this case the LDF (Lono Defense Force).
That said, the slowmotion "podcast turrets" was HILARIOUS.
Ploogle 06-16-2008, 02:50 PM Noooo! My card didn't win! Ah well, better luck next time...:D

Ploogle 06-16-2008, 02:55 PM It's a conspiracy I tells ye!! :evil:
It probably is. :D I've won more contests than anyone else, I think. XD They've probably made a secret rule that I can't win any more contests. Lono's probably involved. Frawlz too.

That probably has a sprinkling of truth, although all the contest's do seem to play into your mad IT skilled hands.. :lol:

J/k, congrats to those who won. Great cards. :thumbsup:

naruto20 06-16-2008, 03:36 PM Yeah waffle yeah.
I had a ear infection when I made the card so I wasnt feeling very good.
DeathByWaffle 06-16-2008, 03:49 PM Wasn't that the point? To put thought into making it.
Yeah but they didn't say "thoughtful" to lovingly on the podcast. Whatever, I still liked it :lol:

TylDurden 06-16-2008, 04:40 PM aaaahhhh lono crossed the picket line, get him!! Naw its cool I'm more concerned about feeding into the whole preorder BS that gamestop likes to pretend you can't get games on release if you don't cause it will be "sold out" but whatever, it gives publishers an estimate on how many print, great show guys.

Yeah, pre-ordering is pretty dumb, I never do it.
Oh, and nice name.

Tinman 06-16-2008, 09:42 PM I'm with Lono. He wasn't being a hypocrite, he was just spending his money. Yes, he fought so that people didn't have to spend their money an guns, which they don't. But they can if they want them a little earlier.

IN my option If you buy games with more stuff then other people that's not right.Let say there where 10 new guns in Cod4 for 10$ it gives you power over others.I got the GTA Special edition.If give me any power over others I would not got it.There should not be more guns for more money.yes I know if you level up you get these.But look at MMo some people don't want to play because the gold farming.Not what make this and different.The more you are willing to pay for stuff the more people we make this stuff.If know one Got this guns at all.EA would see that and make them in void.I wise man once said there are only worth how much you willing to give up for it.That's just What I think.Now I can't tell lono what to do with his money.I just try not to feed the EA monster.

dude the guns are in the game now, because of what we all did here... I know that I won't play the game until 25, which is why I wanted to pay the extra cash to get the weapons earlier than normal. They're already there....

Like I said I can't tell you what to do with your money.I just see what happen to MMOs and And I don't want it to happen to other things.Have more money should not make games easyer for you to me.What about me If I was to get this game I would have to spend my time to level.It like EA is help Out the the richer people and for get the rest of us .It is like they say hey heres our game.We have RPG kind of things in this game.It will take you 2 weeks to get to level 25.Or give up 10$ we can put you up there.Great right.That's just me

I guess my only answer to that one is that some people have more time than money and sometimes its the other way around... either way, you can still get the guns.
naruto20 06-17-2008, 12:01 AM Actually lets give lono a break he earns his money being a good american and lawyer *I don't know how good he is but hey*.

Like I keep saying I can't tell him what to do with his money.It just I look at things as a big picture.If we would not got games at 60$I think they would put them back to 50$ people pay for stuff so people make us pay for it.

Like, I keep saying I can't tell him what to do with his money. It's just that I look at things as a big picture. If we wouldn't buy games at $60, I think they would bring them back to $50. People pay for stuff, so they make us pay for it.
There. Makes much more sense.

Meh. Didn't do it for me.
But talking about FMJ reminds me of that podcast where they had him on, and they spent 2 minutes asking about what he liked to be called, only to have Doc ignore it and call him something else.

Hey Lono, FMJ called, he wants your gamer-card. He said "I may play on easy, but at least I don't flip-flop!"
That's the best I could do with the given material.

"The FRICKEN tanks are FRICKEN awesome"

No I did not...have to go listen to it again now..
Can you give me an actual time?
nick10234 06-18-2008, 08:55 AM great show
I agree with lono if you have played the pc civ games the demo is just ok. My friend has never played the civ games he is in love with the demo.
Frawlz 06-18-2008, 09:38 AM I have spent days... playing civ...
Watched the outside become light and dark while playing civ.
I love that game. I am soo ready for the console version. Dave... you are going down!
Diortem 06-18-2008, 10:18 AM Id be in, but I want Civ 4 with the Beyond the Sword expansion. Maybe the DS version of this one to have a Civ game on the go, but thats the most it will get from me.
Artemas 06-18-2008, 10:48 AM Ugg Vehicals.I think Ill pass.
Funny show, guys.

It was around 31:50
DeathByWaffle 06-18-2008, 06:07 PM It was around 31:50
Ok, I listened to it, and get what you are saying. He just say world war but he put an H in there so it came out like whorld war, which kind of sounds like Whore War.

Ventilaator 06-22-2008, 01:18 AM Kind of sad how in the end of every episode you mention that you would be happy if you'd get Itunes reviews, but the country I live in is not on the list.
Which country should I write it for then?
