I think it is possible that I have lost all faith in Japanese News TV. If I ever see a news report out of Japan, I am going to remember they had Chad on to discuss the US economy and then dismiss it out of hand. Although, I am really interested in checking this out.
I am going to give another shout out to The Walking Dead. That book is awesome. Most comics these days lose sales every month and the Walking Dead is one of the few that manage to increase sales most every month. If you are looking to catch up, it is probably cheaper to pick up the hardcovers than going searching for the individual issues.
Red Boxes are everywhere around here. We rarely use them, since the local library pretty much gets everything new we want to see and it is free.

Jon ... you don't know the half of it. Having Chad talk about the economic crisis (mind you he just bought a $1200 Blu Ray DVR for no other reason than to have it.) is like having Ron Jeremy talk about being a jet fighter ...

Yeah, I'm pretty impressive. That's all there is to say about that. My whole self is badass, and dropping that much money on a recorder is the proof. I now come to you from work, flat-broke, and I'm probably gonna borrow some money from one of my neighbors (Old Man Mahony seems game enough to lend out money). Couple that with my stupid idea of paying 1,400 bones for a plane ticket home, and you have one retarted man who can't manage his money even as well as he could a year ago.
A year ago I was still sending home $1,000 a month to pay off loans, and everything was peachy. Now, I'm a sad, sad man.
Just exactly how much of that is sarcasm is up to you the reader. All I know is that everything is going to work out for me because I have too many jobs, and too little responsibility for it to all go to hell.
And just so you know, this flat-broke Chad is gonna buy the $80 Little Big Planet bundle today. You're impressed, because the mere fact that I can get this is just a testament to how stubborn and retarted I am. I'm right now in the middle of Castlevania, and for some reason I feel the need to drop the cash on a new PS3 game because I want it day one.
I'm a sick man.
Oh yeah, about the show this week...
When Derek got on the show, it wasn't long until I picked up my DS and got unstuck in Castlevania. I made a really bush-league move, and I should feel bad for not seeing through it ages ago. That being said, I'm now 10 hours into the game, and I can tell all of you that it's one of the hardest Castlevanias ever. It's a lot of fun, but at the same time I get pissed when bosses kill me all the time.
It's a fantastic game though, and one I'm going to play until the bitter end. It's honestly Symphony of the Night caliber, and if you're up to the challenge, play through it.
Derek, this game will eat you alive.
I still think that Eric buying songs for games and then not playing them is one of the best ideas since him purchasing any game in recent memory that he's picked up for all of 45 minutes. Nice to see that he plays Peggle though...since that one was free.
And the thing on TV was glorious. It was me and Chase's ugly mugs up there talking about stuff we have no right talking about. Ron Jeremy would be proud. The TV appearance should be up on YouTube soon unless Chase is a dirty liar.
Decent outtakes at the end of the show, the best of course being when Chase's WIFE declared that I'm way cooler than he is.

wow..this show had almost the entire cast...where to begin. Derek, nice costume concept. the only cheeper costume would be to just pick up a oversized-fake-mustache.... OR mix and match parts of past costumes! examples. spider man, + monkey + a sword = "Ninja spider monkey. " dress shirt + megaphone + bible= "King Annoying". viking helmet + pirate eye patch +a toy gun = "Captain Badass!" .... interesting review of fable, & a good cheat idea Chad. ...btw, have you figured out your most hated videogame character ? Mike, I hope you get your wish for an on-air discussion of zombies and horror movies in general...that will make some good listening. I hope to see the japanese roundtable discussion on the site soon... have a good one, Thim. p.s. ...is it just me, or did Chad not get angry, at all, this show...  |

I don't think he DID get angry... but that is just because there were no politics or Eric this week.

That would probably be the exact reason right there. Eric or politics equals me punching folks.
Also, my most hated videogame character is PROBABLY Lara Croft. I just hate her. The fact that she has an entire game series because she was sporting a rack in the first Tomb Raider game. I don't want anyone out there to say that any of them are good games, because if you were staring at a dude's ass the entire time you'd hate it and play Uncharted instead.
So yeah, that's probably my answer. Either that or Eyedol from Killer Instinct. I broke a controller over that son of a bitch.

I will say that this was one of the better shows on record. Video games were discussed, tangents were had, and I only recall hearing one "f-bomb" dropped by Mike towards the end of the show. That was a good show. It was good when it was just Mike and Chad, but actually got a little better when Derek got on. You know, after that, I actually have to take back what I had said about Eric being my favorite on the show. He is my favorite, when he is not on the show.
Keep it up fellas.

Slam! Eric you just lost big time!
Wil now agrees with the rest of the American people. Eric is a royal douchebag.
Oh yeah, the show was decent. Games, and no Eric. Plus I didn't have much to talk about other than you know...one really excellent game.

Eric is a royal douchebag. quote] I think Brando still likes Captain Americhan. and I don't have any anti-eric sentiments, so thats two amerika-jin that dont hate eric.(assuming that Brando is American....he might be Autralian or German or something.....) maybe zombies got him....and despite his brilliant humour, the zombie lacked the well...BRAINS and testicular fortitude, to appreciate it. have a good one, Thim. |
