Metroid Prime Hunters: Pinball is a great game even without the rumble. I just really really suck at it. I don't think I ever got past 2 levels. My ex though.. she was a beast. She got all the way thru the main levels and unlocked the special level. I use to tell everyone I knew online at the time #pride. Needless to say she did get laid, a few times, for it.

Also, I am so happy to hear that you have played TWEWY, as we seem to be the only two. E. See what I did there? Anywho, I am on my eighth play through in my mind. I think about the game all the time. I need to play Kirby, and Metroid, too. Thank you for the recommendations!

I agree it's like a puzzle game but that's kinda what I liked about it.

nipple guards for the win.

Hi Wolfkin! I truly want you to know that 99 percent of the comments about Major Nelson were tongue in cheek. I truly could care less about the man. I just don't see how he has reached deity status. Also, in regards to gamers, I think you are describing PC gamers. I'm a console gamer, and have been since the Coleco vision back in 83. I take pride in being such. I actually haven't touched a football game since NFL Street part 2. There is so many better things to do then play football indoors. It goes against my Go Outside rule, so I don't buy it for my kids. NBA 2K12, on the other hand, is instructional. It teaches you how to interact with the press. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

I enjoyed the part of Uncharted that I played, but it seemed like more of a puzzle game. I'll start part 2 this weekend. I'll keep you posted.

I have beaten The Walking Dead twice now, and I am thrilled by it. I wish it was a full game, but the suspense adds to the flavor, I guess.

Thanks for listening, and for leaving feedback. Podcasts need more people like you and Awesome Rob.

Have a great day, and if you play paintball, PROTECT YOUR CHEST!

nah as much as I disapprove. I'm more apathetic and mystified by kinect than dislike.

I never thought people didn't love Uncarted 1. Don't get me wrong it was over hyped. I mean a LOT over hyped, but an hour in when I toned down my expectations I had a really good time and I think it was a great game. I've only played it once and it was a library rental.. I bought it now and it's in my backlog because I do want to try for the platinum. (and i think it's going to show off well to non-gamers)

Too bad that guy wrote about something serious like sexism and wrapped fluff all around his entire piece.
You really don't like Kinect. I have had a blast with it. I never played TWEWY...I think. I need to buy The Walking Dead Season and Uncharted 1 was meh while 2 and 3 are great. Especially 2. As far as the Major Nelson comments I'm sure you've noticed that we almost never talk sports in details.

lol. Kinect is the new MajorNelson this episode ;-;

thewolfkin — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 12:11:16 -0000

For the most part I think we were on the same page on the Avengers thing. The guy obviously wants to stop the sexism but truthfully the Avenger aren't really about antibullying, and more importantly they don't need to be about antibulying for bullying to be bad.

ugh. I kinda dislike Louis CK. I saw his HBO show and it was something I watched but didn't like. I have no interest in his new show and I haven't really enjoyed his stand up. I just don't particularly like the guy. I'm happy selling his special for $5 on his own website worked out for him but it's just not my bag.

Dude GalaxyQuest was a great movie. Hugely underrated.

I actually disagreed with the Major Nelson bashing for different reasons. I felt that Major Nelson represented the majority of gamers. When you talk about him and say how you play Madden and you work out and talk football. I think that makes you the questionable gamer. We the gamers, have traditionally been the guys who don't care about football. We're the guys who can tell you about the the different faction balances in Starcraft, vs Command and Conquer vs Warhammer while you guys talk about the difference between AFC and PAC teams.

That said I still thought it was funny and it felt like it was just fun hence my lack of comment on it. I still have no idea how to tell one car from another but I can tell you your OS within two major version numbers including the major Linux branches from a screen shot.

Gunsmith != Millions of guns no matter how much they try to convince me otherwise. I've tried the website and I just prefer to do it in game.

If it wasn't for voice commands I truly think Kinect would be as dead as PSMove by now.

lol Kinect is the new MajorNelson this episode ;-;

Walking Dead Demo WAS fantastic. I said I was the Baby Sitter and seeing him say that he would remember really made me think.

I don't like Uncharted as a shooter. If you need to look at it in a genre think of it like Sands of Time. The first game is basically Prince of Persia.

AHHHH TWEWY. I love that game. It is one of the greatest DS games of all time (along with Kirby Canvas Curse, and Metroid Prime Pinball). Just hearing you mention rumors of the second one gives ME a tear. That game is so so fantastic. It even does Tag Mode good and most DS games have TERRIBLE tag mode.

the stagekit is awesome.... also, maybe a play for g+ to look more like FB to get more people in on a level playing field isnt such a bad idea. people that only know facebook can easily jump into it. but yeah, telling a friend will be the best way to get anyone on it

All the audio gaps made me think my phone was crashing almost every time they happened. Sometime about 45 minutes in I began to wonder if it was a curse word censor that was going on? or if it was really just a technical thing.

I feel even older man. I DO remember BetaMax. Never had one but I've seen one. On the topic of nerds being nerds. I agree with Ind1fference that there is a real fear of humilation and at times physical harm if you just let it all hang out. The reason it's pathetic isn't because "it's just so easy to say F that I'm gonna be me" it's because it's not 1980 and that fear is MUCH less justified. CNN has heard of Comic Con. If you want to be a giant geek you can find other giant geeks to hang out with in pretty much ANY city. It doesn't have to be just at Dragon*Con.

Google+ also does things like hashtags and trending topics now. Here's a fun one #whitespace . A lot of people hate all the white space in the middle of the screen. It's hilarious. There is a Chrome extension called Hangout Canopy that lets you see all the public hangouts running. I used it.. are you (BigRob) suggesting that it's useless now. It's gone the way of the FX extension TagSifter. *Geek C-c-c-c-combo*

I stayed in a smoking room once.. it really IS terrible. :shudder: Your experience with those dudes at Disney is everything I hated about Pokemon Blue. I LOVED that game but the only people I had to trade with were my neighbor's pre to middleschool daughters. I couldn't look more creepy, they really wanted to trade with me but I just had to keep it very limited.

Overhype.. yes this is getting to be a problem. I think Uncharted 1 was over hyped. It was a good game, a great game but wow did the hype make me expect something beyond belief. Zack Zero.. I'd call it a looser Mega Man with more complex upgrades(based on the demo) you run you jump you shoot. That's MM.

PSN Games:
Free for PSN+
I don't understand why you wouldn't download them all. That's what I do. There's literally a section marked "Free Games".. perhaps b/c he's new he doesn't know that but just go and get it all.
- Dungeon Defenders has the DLC that's free.. good game.
- Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves: good game but you need Move and two people. If you have that then YES.
- Orbit the PSN Mini is a really really fun game. I play that all the time. It's simple but you spend a lot of time doing upgrades
- Shank2/Shift2 : obviously but i haven't played it.

Also
-Sam & Max: Devil's Playhouse Ep 1(i think)
-Blue Toad Mystery Ep 1 (i think)
-Strongbad Ep 3 (i think)

Cost
- highly recommend Hoard: it really is a fun game better with friends but fun enough without them for a bit.
- PixelJunk Eden and Shooter: great games very fun even if you don't want to max the trophies
- PJ Monsters: i thought it was way too hard.. haven't finished it
- Cubixxx: nice fun game
- SuperStardust HD: people rave for it.. i don't get it myself.
- Eufloria: HIGH rec. fantastic game that looks beautiful. It's like Eden zen soothing but with much more detailed graphics. Such big easy to read text
-Okabu: is adorable
-Critter Crunch: is adorable but less african lol
-Auditorium HD: HIGH REC. a fantastic puzzle game with one flaw. No reset level. They get away with it because you never need to reset but it would be nice. Check out the flash version for a demo.
-inFamous Festival: not my first rec but people love it
-Hydrophobic: low rec but PSN is the better version
- Sideway: New York: HIGH REC beautiful platformer
- Ratchet and Clank Quest for Booty if you have money lying around is a fun rush.. but not the best buy. It is short.. but does look great.
- Dead Nation is pretty decent
- Risk/Outland/PacMan
-- I'm sure those are all on XBL right?

There are a bunch of other games I could recommend somein place of this list but these are the ones I think of as PSN only.

Google Plus is like Facebook without the noise. You don't have people posting inane things, apps don't constantly spam you. Ads are more reserved. Privacy is easy to understand and control. In theory it's every thing you want in a social network. It had a clean interface, it was fast, slick. Facebook on the other hand is designed to funnel you into the most public setting. Unlike Twitter, FB really wants you to be public they do everything in your power to make you as public as possible.

G+ is better, the problem is that your friends aren't on it. I'm having an insane time trying to get my Mom to switch to Gmail and she hates the constant issues with Hotmail (did you know you can't sign out of Hotmail?).

It doesn't matter that my mom is a terrible example (she doesn't want a FB account) the point is that it illustrates a mentality. people don't want to change. E-mail for the most part doesn't connect to anything. One is just as good as the other the fact that I can't get anyone I know to switch is just because they're stuck. How much more so with a social network. It's the same thing we see over and over again in the video game industry. People will switch when their friends do. Until then what they have is good enough.

PSN is perfectly fine for 90% of the gamers out there.. I don't need to talk to people I don't know IRL (no offense guys) while I'm playing Darksiders. Text message works "good enough" to let me know you want to get into some R6V2. PSN is far better than it gets credit for.. XBL is better yeah, but PSN is good enough (Esp on the CoD/BF game that all the default gamers play). Again it doesn't matter because noone will ever leave XBL because that's where their friends are.

Yeah the wife and I were pleasantly surprised. Maybe I can get her to watch something with Simon Pegg now. Other than Run Fatboy Run(which she liked)

Glad to hear someone else enjoyed Attack the Block. I thought it as great.

I don't know either way, but what I do know is "on disc" dlc saves me space on my hard drive... Just sayin.

You lost me. All I know is that the demo was ugly and laggy and I don't see that as a positive.
