Outro: Rodney Dangerfield - Caddyshack

[shipwreck]

First.

[Ltor]

Awww yea, hope you guys talk about games, inn-laws and poop this week!

[jax2001]

much needed

[meager]

All podcasts should open with Henry Mancini music. Make it so.

Shipwreck, would I like the new Motorstorm if I didn't care much for Split/Second? In that game you also had to play the track before you really had much idea where the explosions would happen, or else you'd waste an attack because your opponents were on the wrong side of the street. I suppose that's why the made you play the same tracks so many times. Is there more level variety in Motorstorm? And do you still do laps or just straight shots through collapsing cities?

Oh, and "Abutment" ... wow, that's really an engineer's word. You don't hear that word used correctly much in the Wal-Mart crowd.

I was quite impressed with Cheapy's news radio appearance. I was waiting for one of his replies to be "How the Hell would I know?" But he really came off sounding quite knowledgeable. More so than he usually is on the CAGcast. When I worked in radio, we'd always get sent the guys with "radio voices" that had no knowledge outside of what was written on their press release, and if asked a different question would just blatantly ignore it and instead throw out some PR gibberish. Cheapy was much more subtle about it. Was he prepped on those specific questions?

You generally still do laps around the courses and on the last lap something big usually falls down and changes the course. You know, like in just about every game of this type. From time to time, you have to race from point A to point B in a set amount of time. As for the level variety, I need to play more to get a feel for how often you return to the same tracks. So far, you go back to them a couple times, but they are slightly different and they try to add variety by sticking you in a different vehicle type. Maybe my opinion will change, but so far I've found the game nothing but underwhelming.

[NegativeZero]

dammit man, could've used this on the train, you guys gotta post podcast at least an hour earlier. get off your asses. thanks btw

[TheToiletDuck]

Hey Cheapy, the Itunes version is only 23mins. It cuts off. Might want to re-upload it.

Also, thanks for making a show guys. You all get a beer from me if you come to Scotland.

Update 2: It seems the version here on the site is messed up too.

[yatts13]

Big Lots, has Mafia II and Just Cause 2 (360) for $20.88 retail indefinately. How do I post price submissions to the site?

I'm out.

[LiK]

First.

HAHA, please do this for every CAGcast thread.

Cheapy, Telltale is working on Law & Order: Los Angeles. That was what you were trying to remember.

[Sgt Barone]

Just downloaded! Gonna listen to it tomorrow during my drive from Columbus to Cleveland.

[collipop]

Just as it gets to the ps3 hacking discussion the show cuts off! I think you need to reupload.

[Wombat]

Just as it gets to the ps3 hacking discussion the show cuts off! I think you need to reupload.

It worked fine for me, try deleting your file and re-downloading. May be a Libsyn issue.

[ShaneSG]

Show is only 24 minutes long on both mp3 and itunes for me as well. I tried redownloading it.

[usickenme]

Wombat, I am totally with you about the push mower. I have a smallish lawn and using that type of mower is easy and quick.

No fucking around with gas and oil, no collecting the cut grass, virtually no noise (when you are concerned about waking up a baby this can be a bid deal), plus a little exercise.

additionally gas mowers are terrible for the environment- One gas mower running for an hour emits the same amount of pollutants as eight new cars driving 55 mph for the same amount of time

[liquidcross]

I still don't understand why you guys have so much trouble downloading stuff on PSN. I've got a run-of-the-mill DSL connection, and it never takes half an hour to download firmware or title updates. They go pretty quick.

[Wombat]

A Half an Hour is too long, it should take 1-5 minutes.

Edit: Oh I read that wrong, then why does it take me so long?

[Rouzhokuu]

I still don't understand why you guys have so much trouble downloading stuff on PSN. I've got a run-of-the-mill DSL connection, and it never takes half an hour to download firmware or title updates. They go pretty quick.

Agreed. I've never had it take more than 5 to complete a firmware update, and downloads have always been extremely fast.

But, I guess if you couldn't care less about the PS3, you're not going to put forth much effort to properly configure your connection settings, and just blame your poor download speeds on 'PSN sucking.'

Ahh well.

[shipwreck]

Come over and configure my PS3 for me. Is there a setting that I can click to have it download as fast as my Wii, 360, iMac, MacBook, iPad, iPhone, Kindle, Apple TV, or any other Wifi device in my house? There's obviously a disconnect somewhere as the PS3 is the only device in my house that is noticeably slower than everything else.

Your sarcasm aside, that definitely sounds like a configuration error. Did you go through it manually, or just use the auto/default settings?

[ufskenney]

I agree there is probably something wrong with how the PS3 works on wifi. I have tried my PS3 both wired and wifi (currently wired) and it seems to be much faster when it is wired. I think it is a pretty wide spread issue since it is pretty easy to people mentioning it on the internet.

[TehMuff1nM4n]

Your sarcasm aside, that definitely sounds like a configuration error. Did you go through it manually, or just use the auto/default settings?

He's saying that you shouldn't have to go through so much work and tinker with all your settings just to get regular download speeds. I connect my Xbox and laptops to the internet automatically and they work just fine. PSN is way too slow and most don't have the time to tinker with settings.

[collipop]

Just a heads up to anyone in UK as it seems lybsyn UK servers are only giving a partial file. If you come to cheap ass gamer using a proxy you can download the complete file.

Just tried and it worked for me.

[Curufinwe]

You hurt its feelings and now it's trying to get back at you. :)

Joking aside, downloads on my PS3 and 360 have always been the same speed, both connecting to my Wireless G FIOS router.

[testudo]

Great C-A-G cast. Thank you for the answer my compensation PSN question. I am going with Free Transvestite (my last choice (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71382&page=270)) as the best PR bounce back.

[eataburger]

Good episode!

It's funny you guys talked about how bad Best Buy is. Living in Canada, I don't get to the US very often, but the other week I went to a US Best Buy for the first time in years and my impression matched yours.

I always assumed that the US ones would be better than in Canada, but they had almost nothing video-game wise in the store, and the prices were terrible.

In Canada (Toronto anyways) the Best Buys and Future Shops are pretty good for games - they've even started game trading.

[erniemac]

Wombat, I can't believe you bought a push mower.

Did you look at any electric mowers?

Shipwreck, don't people die from skin cancer? Nice to hear that you're not bothered too much by this.

[Nabeshin186]

Great Podcast as usual guys. I'm surprised to see no one saying something dumb like "Well of course Cheapy plugs the 360 in a Playstation interview". Usually the feedback from your podcast (at least the ones you select to read) has narrow minded thinking like that.

Anyway my question for you guys would be how long do you think this whole indent will be forgotten and people start praising the PS3 again? The internet is a fickled bunch where they can say F Sony one day and then say it's the BEST COMPANY EVAARRR the next.

[jumpiestranger2]

Whats Happenin!

[trip1eX]

What's the over/under on Wombat dumping the non-motorized lawn mower by next summer? Sht doesn't matter. Put me down for a 20 spot. .

Disappointed there was no Wii2 hate. I hope you are saving it for next week. Or was that the week before? MIssed the last show.

edit: Oh just hearing it now. There it is. Hate on last week's show. Love it. Oh yes lots of good hate. ;)

I think Nintendo doesn't care much about 3rd parties in terms of getting the multi-platform stuff. They want 3rd parties to take their new tech and do something creative with it. They don't want to become basically a commodity box that plays the same games as all the others.

Anyway Nintendo's direction with Wii2 is the same as with the Wii. Do something different. Creative. Disruptive. Not just focused on graphics. The touchscreen controllers and possibilities for private vs public screen gameplay and reducing screen clutter like the DS can do and providing software programmable buttons and these rumored OnLive like streaming possibilities to the controller etc scream the same sort of path the Wii took. Using the screen for drawing in games? Right up Nintendo's alley.

The only shocking thing at least to me is the wiimote/nunchuk appear to have had a short life. I thought they would have built on it and improved it. But at the same time not shocked they'd try to do something that provides alot of new gameplay possibilities for their franchises. Let's not forget that the PS3 in Japan with Move sort of boxes them in a corner in terms of improving the wiimote. Sony improved it quite a bit and where is Nintendo going to go there? In America MS comes out with Kinect and you don't need a controller. Both now routinely outsell the Wii in those markets.

So in a way makes sense they are going to branch out again into a new direction. Competition has entered the "motion control" market. Nintendo was first in. Grabbed the lion's share of the profits. Now onto the next new market. Left behind are Sony and MS to eat the crumbs. Cheapie says Nintendo doesn't want to compete with those guys directly. Well guess what? Both have powerful consoles and now with motion control. So exit stage left.

There's lots of cool sht on the 3ds. Not the games, but the stuff built-in. AT least for my 10 year old. He put a bunch of music on there. Records voices and manipulates them with my other kid. Takes pictures. 3d ones too. There is FAce Raiders. The STreet Pass stuff. We went to Ikea a few weekends ago and he surprisingly met 3 new Miis. There is the pedometer coin stuff. There's the built-in AR stuff as well.

I'm actually kind of amazed at all that is packed in there. But we never upgraded my kid to the Dsi either. When the update hits and the store and Netflix and browser hit etc. It's going to be a nice little machine at least for its target market. As an adult I'm not going to get one to carry around or anything. But for my kids? They love the thing. I'd only get another to play against them in the house.

[Kuromimi]

Awesome show guys. Keep up the good work.

[banodyne]

Don't be so quick to dismiss anti-malware for iPad. Anytime something gets popular enough, hackers will hack. My sister had gotten a Mac for the myth that Macs don't get malware. Last month her internet had gotten riduculously slow. The lights of the cable modem showed a lot of traffic. Her husband noticed the Mac acted busy. I found out Sophos (http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-antivirus-for-mac-home-edition.aspx) was the best of the Mac anti-malware (and free) so we ran it and found 14 trojans on her Macbook. We suspect her system had been part of a botnet. Maybe the same that took down Sony? Who knows.

[repete]

dude wheres the clip show

[guardian_owl]

I definitely think these is something finicky about the built-in PS3 Wifi. I have a PS3 fat and a PS3 thin. Each are about the same distance from the router, but one is on the floor above and the other is on the same level. The slim has pretty much a straight signal shot through only one wall, but the fat has to go through the floor and a couple of walls. The slim seems to download updates much more rapidly than the fat, though I don't know if that is because the slim has a better quality adapter or some other factor(s).

For those who have slow downloads and those who have fast downloads.
Do you have a PS3 fat or slim?
How far away and how many walls / floors does the wifi from your PS3 have to pierce to reach the router?

[raistlin]

Cheapy that BBC radio segment was really short, how long did it take you to get there? I really can't blame you now for wanting to turn them down. If I had the choice of sitting at home playing video games or getting dressed up and going to a studio I'd wanna stay home too. Or like you said, I'd just want to record it remotely. Next time ask them for better compensation for your trouble. 8-)

[eataburger]

Cheapy, I thought you did an excellent job on the BBC segment! I thought you handled the "Japanese trait" baiting really well.

I would have been tempted to say something like "Yes, delaying information IS a Japanese trait like the Brits have bad teeth and eating fish out of a newspaper".

Anyways. You sounded really professional and informative.

[demonhellcat]

Good episode!

In Canada (Toronto anyways) the Best Buys and Future Shops are pretty good for games - they've even started game trading.

After the Rock Band 3 price drop a month ago or so I went to Best Buy to pick it up. They didn't have a copy... ok, no problem, I'll order it through Best Buy.com and get it shipped to store... a week later... "your order was placed on back order and we won't be receiving new stock so your order has been canceled".... really!!

I ordered it from amazon the next day. I used to like Best Buy but I agree, there software selection is getting pretty crappy and when they do have a game I want Amazon is cheaper 99.99% of the time.

[FriskyTanuki]

If Wombat paid more attention to the NFL as a whole, he'd have been more familiar with Peyton Hillis and his pythons before the Madden cover announcement.

The local Best Buy here isn't nearly as bad as the one that Shipwreck described. I just rarely go there because it's way out of the way compared to Target, GameStop, Kmart, and any other place I'd go for games. Maybe it's because I'm in the good part of the state.

Telltale's doing retail games for the Xbox 360 since MS can't satisfy their desire for episodic releases. They got completely screwed over with the Wallace & Gromit season, which ended with the last three episodes being delayed for months and released all at once on the same day.

Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox officially exist in Mortal Kombat lore now? Surprising.

Decent show.

[my2k2zx2]

I got faster downloads and response with my PS3 connected to a WRT54G repeater with a cable than a direct wireless connection to the WRT160N main unit.

[banodyne]

I know Cheapy said he was off next week but I would enjoy a podcast with just Shipwreck and Wombat over no show at all.

Who agrees?

[HOVA uk]

24:19.. it stops there also on itunes and on the media player on the site.

wheres the rest..

[Loonknight]

I know Cheapy said he was off next week but I would enjoy a podcast with just Shipwreck and Wombat over no show at all.

Who agrees?

Either that or some type of clip show would be nice.

As for this show, I think it was decent. I still am having problems understanding why your download speeds on your PS3s are so horrid. I've never had to do anything to mine nor have had to do anything to those that I have setup for my friends and family members at different locations. So perhaps it is just karma? lol not sure honestly.

[louiedog]

Cheapy, why don't you have the TV/radio people say you're from cheapgamer.com on the air? You own the domain and googling for "cheap gamer" yields cheapassgamer.com as the first result.

[LiK]

I know Cheapy said he was off next week but I would enjoy a podcast with just Shipwreck and Wombat over no show at all.

i'm fine with a Shippy and Wombat only show.

[Liveforlaughs76]

i'm fine with a Shippy and Wombat only show.
I would also be in favor of this. CAGPlay Forecast #4!

Edit: Or perhaps, CAGPlay 4orecast

I can vouch for this, Best Buy is a pretty good store in Canada.

[Bainmarny]

I just got finished with The Last Testiment of George Harrison, and I agree with Wombat, the audio is too clean for a little audio tape (no scratchyness or ambient hospital background noise), and the voice acting was practically wooden with no emotion at all (I think he was worried about dropping accent if he showed sadness).

That said, it was interesting finally seeing all of the evidence that people used to talk about, like the backwards singing and symbolism in the album cover art (I'd only ever heard the abbey road cover explained).

All in all i'd give it a 6.5/10. Not bad and kind of interesting.

Also Viva La Cagplay Forecast!!

[testudo]

i'm fine with a Shippy and Wombat only show.

Yes hear hear for a ShippyD and Wombat show! :applause:

[coiled string]

Take it you guys know that all your feeds for the podcast this week are only 24mins long. Thats RSS,Itunes and off the site.. only 14Mb instead of the 44 it is supposed to be

[shipwreck]

Try redownloading. It's an issue with the hosting site. Just depends on what server it grabs the file from.

[cheesycrouton]

Here's short, bizarre documentary that you must watch on Netflix instant streaming: The Parking Lot Movie (http://www.netflix.com/Movie/The-Parking-Lot-Movie/70134661). Only ~70mins.

[davidb69]

Loved the humor of a Best Buy guy selling virus software on the Ipad2, wow. Also, there is nothing wrong with the big tits from Mortal Kombat. I think Dead or Alive is most guilty of this and I don't find MK as bad. I thought you'd be much harder on the PSN network issues. The xbox failure was much more in my opinion then an overload of customers, that is BS in my opinion to put a positive spin, saying they have so many customers.

[PiP]

Help us out in uk please can we have a fresh working link to full version, all versions out there are the 24 min version arghhhhhhh :applause:

[olster1]

Please re-upload. Can't get full file here in the UK! Thanks guys! 8-)

[Wombat]

Try redownloading. It's an issue with the hosting site. Just depends on what server it grabs the file from.

That

[olster1]

Okay for people in the Uk who can't download the full thing. Use hotspot shield (google it) Works like a charm! Quick and Easy. Also it means you can watch Hulu in the UK. Useful for cheapyD trying to watch American TV in Japan?

[Curufinwe]

I can vouch for this, Best Buy is a pretty good store in Canada.

It's pretty good in Delaware, too. Every one I've ever been into has a huge videogame section, and I've bought stuff like freezers and DVD players there, too.

I get most of my games from Amazon now, but my wife and I went to my local BB last night to pick up Toy Story 3 for the 360 since the $29.99 price was only $2 more than Amazon and it was enough to qualify her for another $10 Reward Zone certificate thru their Gamers Club. I bought Vanquish at Best Buy for the same reason back in February.

[trip1eX]

Best Buy blows. They changed their name internally to Worst Buy and made bets amongst themselves (in the form of bonuses) on how long they could ride it out before their customers discovered this for themselves.

In a sign of the times, My bro-in-law sent me an Amazon gift card for half-xmas this year instead of a Best Buy gift card. That ended their streak of 10 years or so of Best Buy gift cards. The last few which I spent trying to turn the BB gift card into an Amazon card.

I guess the lesson learned is if you try hard enough then wishes do come true.

[Kyrox]

No elephant genocide jokes?

[skadave]

I think i have said this before but it warrants repeating:

The main reason the 3DS is not selling, in my humble opinion, is the extremely high price tag. Despite having a decent sized adult fanbase, it is essentially a kid's gaming machine (disagree? most kids under the age of 10 have some sort of nintendo handheld. . . most adults do not). I just don't see too many parents wanting to shell out $250 for a hand held gaming devise for their 7 year old.

[FriskyTanuki]

Speaking of all the Game Centers, GameFly renamed their app to just "GameFly" and added some Twitter-lite social networking system to it.

[PhaperPlane]

Can only listen to the first 24 minutes, and yes I have re-downloaded the file many times and this has not solved the problem. :(

[TestType]

Can't download the full show either. I'm in Iceland. Show is only 24 minutes and 14mb size both on iTunes and there on CAG. Tried downloading and deleting multiple times.

[LimpDaddy]

Come over and configure my PS3 for me. Is there a setting that I can click to have it download as fast as my Wii, 360, iMac, MacBook, iPad, iPhone, Kindle, Apple TV, or any other Wifi device in my house? There's obviously a disconnect somewhere as the PS3 is the only device in my house that is noticeably slower than everything else.

The same thing happens to me. I've even stopped wifi with the ps3 and have a cable going directly in. It's still sloooow.

Good show! Can somebody photoshop Cheapy, Ship and Wombat as the What's Happening crew? Raj, Rerun and Dwayne? Make it happen!

http://scm-l3.technorati.com/09/11/20/1649/key-art-whats-happening.jpg

[PiP]

erm this 24 minute show is beyond a joke now, womhat fix it ffs man uk people are getting pissed, dont just say redownload it you lazy word mouth.

[PiP]

ok uk people just use that hotspot shield and downlaod/listen as you would normally, a right fuk on, hopefully they fix it for next time jeesh

[apathylad]

I saw that Paul McCartney is Really Dead film. It's hilarious that I've seen it get negative reviews from people taking the inaccuracies seriously.

[dohmai]

Fastfood with bulletproof drivethroughs are the best! When people used to visit me in college I'd be sure to take them to one as part of my 'campus tour' since I'm from a quiet suburb and nobody here could imagine them.

They work like bank tellers.. slide out a tray where you put the money, and they slide out the food all the while behind their bulletproof window.

I miss them.

[serenitygod]

I am not going to read all 67 comments because their is a lot of feedback already this time.
That being said, Florida has one of the lowest obesity rates in the nation. California Arizona Hawaii and 2 others are below (I don't remember which they are). So if we are fat in Florida
places like NY would have spooked John!
Note that according to "Supersize Me" Miami is the fifteenth fattest city in the nation, so for us to be that low the rest of the state is fairly thin.

[HOVA uk]

Seriously i cant get the full show wtf guys

[HOVA uk]

Can a cag usershare the file please.

Thankss

[fredy182]

damn i forgot how good the show was, havent listen in a while xD

[bickle]

I know Cheapy said he was off next week but I would enjoy a podcast with just Shipwreck and Wombat over no show at all.

Who agrees?

/agreed. Mebbe grab another host too. Justin McElroy? Or a visit from Mrs Shipwreck?

Also, you guys missed a prime opportunity to be the first videogame podcast with lawnmower linkage in the show notes. (Seriously, which did you get?)

For me the PS3 downloads much faster than my 360. Odd.

No Florida is still pretty fat. 25% obesity , ranked 39 out of 51 ( decent but there are lots around the same)

How about re-branding the site as Financially Aware Gamers.

that being said I have seen many medical conferences on this issue stating Florida is one of the fittest states. Including several cardiologists in my pharmacy meetings.

Great show guys. I was able to download the whole show so I am not sure what the problem is.

[Marzy]

I can't download the full file either. It just says it's on for 24 minutes and only 14mb in size.

[Johanz]

Long time listener here (around 160 eps back or so), and I can't download the show, only get the 24 min part, because I'm in Europe and the servers that host the file that is corrupt is the only one I'm getting because it probably nets me the best speed or whatever. I dunno, I'm no techie but..

PLEASE, can someone download the show and upload it to mediafire.com or something? Anything! Please, there is alot of you people who have listened to the show, can someone of you fellow CAGs just spare 5 minutes and drag n' drop the file there, upload it, and post the URL? It would help alot of listeners.

Please, it doesn't take long and you would be doing fellow european CAG listeners a huge favor.

For anyone who still can't listen to the full show, here is a link:

CAGcast #238 (http://db.tt/MxNY3CI)

I'm in the Europe zone server too, so I also got a corrupted file but I used the Hotspot Shield (thanks PiP) that was recommended earlier to get the full file . Enjoy! (It's a Dropbox link, hope that works for everybody, just thought it would be faster than trying to reupload it anywhere else.)

Show download is fine on Zune, at least when subscribed.

Thank you Cheapy for the tactics to defeat Shao Khan. I was able to dispatch him with Liu Kang pretty easily with those tactics where I struggled before and those tactics work almost as well when you face him the 2nd time with Raiden.

Once again for people who cant listen in the UK I'll post again!

Okay for people in the Uk who can't download the full thing. Use hotspot shield (google it) Works like a charm! Quick and Easy. Also it means you can watch Hulu in the UK. Useful for cheapyD trying to watch American TV in Japan?

[C_P]

Thank you very much Pkshields (my university gets pissy when people encrypt their connection)

[QiG]

As fellow ginger, I wasn't aware we were prone to skin cancer, thanks for the PSA

[Marzy]

Thanks for the upload pkshields. :)

[usickenme]

it just depends on who you ask

Huh? Both had them nearly the same rank.

I wouldn't trust a cardiologist who can't get basic facts straight. It's not even top ten but good for you for having state pride.

Ah, Hotspot Shield.. Well, anyway, thanks a ton for the upload, easier than downloading a program atleast. Thanks a ton Pkshields. :)

[Phelmo]

Same Hotspot shield worked for me as well (guess it's good for more things than unbanning yourself :D)

But yeah.. Cheapy should post Pkshields link on the front page seeing as a lot of people don't read these forums and aren't as internet savvy as a lot of us..

[Tsiawd]

The US hacked PSN and got OSAMA BIN LADEN's info and Boom its over! Thanks PSN for sucking so we could kill that bastard.

[CheapyD]

I re-uploaded the file. Maybe that will help?

[Kylearan]

Shipwreck - best of luck on the biopsy results. My wife is also fair skinned and the sun is a constant, potential source of problems. Hoping it's benign.

Wombat - Happy Birthday! And well done on the mower, the manual-blade mower rocks! Nothing like honest work (every now and then...)

Cheapy - thanks for not burping in my ears too much. And well done on the BBC interview.

Excellent show, guys. To anyone who ever said Ship was cut off by Cheapy and Wombat, didn't happen - did it?

Any new news on the E3 front? Missed you guys the last time you were in LA.

[HOVA uk]

thanks for the fix for the International Cag'ers.

no offense love the podcast but am not downloading a hotspot shield just to listen to the show.

toodoloo

[Sgt Barone]

great show guys, can't wait till the next one!

[Desecron]

I re-uploaded the file. Maybe that will help?

That's fixed it for me! Thanks!

[TestType]

File is fixed for Europeans, finally. Thanks Cheapy!

[PhaperPlane]

I re-uploaded the file. Maybe that will help?

Worked for me! Thanks Cheapy!

[saunderscowie]

Seems its fixed on iTunes now, but I listened via the link posted on the last page.

Liked the show though good work!

Also quick question, when the show first downloaded the 24 minute version I deleted it. Now its full length its created a brand new cag cast folder.. how do I get it back to normal? Dragging etc doesn't work!

Wait, I can write off the games that I bought and discussed on my podcast? I better start keeping receipts for them!

[Kezmer]

I watched Paul McCartney is really dead, I agree the audio is a little too clean however I wondered if it was just a guy reading what was on the tapes to make them clean for the movie. The voice didn't match George's voice to me.

I totally dismissed it but once the F Lee Bailey part came out I thought well maybe it's possible.. who knows..

I watched this after watching the indescribable movie "The Human Centipede" so maybe all oh that back to back was just too much for my brain to handle in one morning

[Hoarr]

I love the whole "Paul is Dead" conspiracy and thought the movie was nothing more than fantastic entertainment for a Beatles fan.

I wonder if it managed to persuade anyone.

[Kezmer]

I wouldn't say it made me a believer lol, just saying it was entertaining enough to think about. The fact someone came up with all of that is pretty crazy, especially all the "Clues" on the albums. and the right handed left handed thing (if it's even true) and the way he was always facing a different way, or looking at the camera.

No matter what it was entertaining to say the least.
