        1. Mai, is that you?

          Downloading now. I’ll be listening today. The show is up on itunes, for those that said it wasn’t live yet.

  1. Sean, play these:

    Tales of Vesperia
    Eternal Sonata
    Infinite Undiscovery

    And Desert, you really should have spoke up more! Disappointing!

    1. Don’t worry, my “death” was one of those Dragon Ball Z deaths that only lasts one episode. Thanks to the efforts of the podcast crew, I’ve already been wished back with the Dragon Balls and rejoined them on their adventure. 😀

      1. First take notes of everything said on the show.

        Then hop in the Delorean, set it for ten minutes before the show. Everytime Des, NOLA, or Sage open their mouths, say exactly what they would and leave them speechless. If this happens on the next show, I’ll know time travel is possible.

  2. So weird- just as you guys were mentioning “Steampunk”, I noticed your Steampunk fairytale ad.

  3. Deagle’s on a roll as host this week, cracking all kinds of funny jokes. (Sage is pretty good this week, too)

    Sean seems tired.

    1. I promised to let you down hard in the next episode with a brain fart that would make GW giggle.

    1. Aw… Shucks! You’ve got me blushing. Thank you for the compliment! 😀

      What happened was that I wasn’t feeling well that day and forgot to check my e-mail. By the time I found out that the recording had gotten moved up a day, it was too late.

  4. Nathan, after shooting 1,000 of people, it’s time to put down your guns and grab a pastrami on whole wheat with extra pickles.

  5. Desert was pretty energetic this week. NOLA, not so much. Sage’s entrance noise made me laugh.

  6. Am I the only one who finds humor in Sean warning Rob to not be Destructoid?

    As long as you guys aren’t sharing “I pooped my pants stories (even love I love those, I don’t want to hear it on every cast) and talking about games 75% of the time, you’re doing just fine.

  7. I’ll be honest, I’ve haven’t heard of Keen Game until now. I did google them (Star Trek) as well as the number of tracks in TNT Racers (18). I hope my honesty wins me a copy of their game.

  8. Contest entry: Keen Games developed What’s Cooking with Jamie Oliver for the DS; there are 18 tracks in TNT Racers.

  9. Funny how everyone has legend of kay @_@ I actually went to the website and googled it and picked one :p

  10. Keep your damn TNT Racing (Only cause I already own it)

    Great show this week. The best in months. Maybe since “Put it in”

  11. Deagle, I know you did not brag about beating one of the Giant Bomb guys at Wii Fit. Like like say “hey, I just beat a 7 year old, 4 foot girl at basketball. Look at me!”

  12. Show volume was kind of low. Raise that up!

    Cool interview. Heaven Variant looks really cool. Great find guys.

  13. Fat Sage playing games FTW! Bonus point if she’s eating Oreos.

    Sean, you dog’s howl is amazing. Good interview Deagle.
