  1. I signed up for the mailing list just so I could be the first commenter. Mission accomplished!

  2. Even though the Neptunia review was pretty long, I’d love to hear you guys talk about it a bit more.

  3. Wait, so Sage this week? Des, did you call the show “Brotastic”?

    Aw man. Lame and lamer. But I’ll still listen.

    1. You guys are just crying out for some animated Gifs this week aren’t you. Lets see if I can indulge you…

  4. You forgot to mention that you talk about RRRIIIDDDGGGEEE RRRRAAACCCEEERRR!

    Wait, did you say you get the same amount of money for winning and losing?

  5. Who says “uptop” and “burn” anymore? Damn, NOLA you’re caught in a Turtle timewarp.

  6. Needed more Sage and less Blue. On the podcast, Sean and Rob deliver but Blue not so much. When it comes to pick and retro columns that’s Blue’s territory.

  7. Ok, if I had listened to Desert’s Ridge Racer impressions, I owuld have though the game would have received a C- not a B-

    1. It matched most of Deagle’s review except for the money bit (no idea why he left that out of the written review) still I think his score is on the money. This game is getting way too much hate.

  8. Downloading right now. I’ll probably listen during the week. This is the weekend you know! haha

  9. Best part of the show is the “What we’ve been playing section” especially when the games are fresh.

    1. Which brings up a question I’ve been thinking about lately; should I go full-fledged retro in my “what I’ve been playing” since all I seem to play that’s remotely modern is Earth Defense Force 2017 (which I mentioned in Podcast 10-4), Forza Motorsport 4 (ditto), and Persona 3 Portable (did I mention it this episode?)?

      1. No offense Blue, I like you. But I think having you on every other show talking about retro games would be the best.

  10. Sean why did you like HN MK2 more that Deagle? Expectations or just the game.

    I thought It was assuming that we was harassing you online.

    1. I didn’t play the first game, so the fact that it wasn’t a big step past the original didn’t really bother me. It seemed fresh to me. Well, as fresh as it could, all things considered.

  11. I’m not feeling the new every other week format. Plus, this show seems old like it was recorded before St. Patty’s day.

  12. I like the interviews. That’s my favorite part of the show. Speaking of- why wasn’t there any this week?

  13. If it wasn’t for anime, I don’t think you’d have show titles. Recognize!

  14. downloading the show right now. One question- do you guys ever have tryouts for guests on the podcast?

    1. I don’t think that’s true. “Put it in” “V-lasers” “Poop socks”. Things might just be worse when you’re around!

  15. On the next podcast you are requested to discuss the nerdiest thing you’ve ever done in your life.

    1. Also, what do you like better Star Wars or Star Trek.

      and….

      What hypothetical Kickstart project would you donate your bank account to.

    1. This is a tough time of year for interviews. Most people want to come on when they have a game coming out to promote, but the new release lists have been slim, and so has our guest list. Make no mistake: we’ll rustle up some interviews.

  16. Yep, the show really needed one of Deagle’s interviews. How about Atlus, they don’t seem to come on as much as NISA?

  17. What were you guys expecting from Neptunia? It’s very unlike to Japanese to directly criticize their own country or work.

  18. So have you noticed a change in the number of listeners since the show went to every other week?

          1. Wait? What? Who hates slushies? How can that be possible. They are the nectar of the gods.

            BTW- When is a new show going live? Just asking.

          2. Yep, no one can really hate slushies and be 100% human. People are genetically configured to like ice mixed with sugary syrup and day-glo colors.

  19. You guys didn’t even talk about ME3, which is both good and bad.

    Anyway, question for next show: what E3 announcements real or imagined would you love to hear?

  20. I’d live a discussion on how Kickstart might change the nature of gaming. And what you do think the first Kickstart fail will be.
