Perhaps.

But Mark MacDonald was raving about how good the 3DS XL was on the latest 8-4 podcast, and somehow I don't think Cheapy would have tried to shout him down with an ode to the iPhone like he did to Wombat.

I'm surprised at the amount of dlc darksiders 2 is gonna have. I enjoyed/platted Darksiders 1, and there was no dlc for that game. Already they have Angel dlc(limited edition) pre order dlc for gamestop, bestbuy and amazon, crucibles (new back of manual dlc) and a season pass for 3 more dlcs ($20). seems they are going off the saints row 3 dlc rush...

Casino jack was ftw.

I can't seem to get this episode to download through iTunes, so I had to download it through the site. Just thought I'd let you know.

I have to call BS on Wombat performing "trick" shots by shooting at all the letters of a Pepsi can. That sounds absurd. I was in the Army for 8 years and qualified with 3 weapons and none of our qualifications involved shooting soda cans. From now on, anytime Wombat drops some BS, Cheapy should yell "PULL", and make a shotgun sound like he is skeet shooting that BS out of the air.

It wasn't illegal before 1972. Also you don't need a permit if the bird was injured, or orphaned (technically you should try to release it back to the wild, but no one is going to go after you for that). You can legally buy many foreign species of crows; Minah birds are the most popular due to their ability to mimic speech.

What's so impossible as long as you reset the can between shots, or use one can per letter? I'm assuming he used a BB gun or a .22, not some military caliber weapon that would blow the can apart. Also soda cans used to be a lot stronger back in the day because they were made out of tin.

Another great episode.

Also Cheapy, I can kind of relate to your enthusiasm for foosball. Since before I was born my dad's been a crazy foosball fan. So much so that when he was stationed in Germany during the late 70's/early 80's while in the Air Force, he played on a semi-pro team, lol. I remember him teaching me how to pass the ball between guys on each row and to not wildly spin the handles when I was a kid.

Also, I'm interested in hearing what you think of Dust: An Elysian Tail next week, Ship. Haven't been too interested XBLA's recent output this summer, but Dust looks amazing.

Yes, we used a .22 and I mentioned on the show we would reset the can. It wasn't really a great trick, but it would impress the younger campers.

I saved one of the cans for a long time, but lost it after various moves.

I would like Hybrid. I love the show, but it needs more free Hybrid and stuff.

I'm not one to comment at all on shows/podcast I listen to (typical thing for a troll to say right?)
But I'm being serious.

This show has sucked for such a long time. I can't remember when it was great though to be completely honest and how I've trudged to every other uninspired episode where Cheapy pretends to give a shit about the gaming industry. Mostly just giving a shit about how much money he makes through the site. Typical, jew. That's not me being racist just perceptive because I really like Wombat because at least he's funny but listening to Cheapy who could care less about what's going on in the industry he's making his living off of and Shipwreck who's love for 80's action figures has made him incapable of enjoying excellent games (i.e. Heavy Rain) is slowly making me retarded.

Wombat I feel sorry for you for having to put up with these 2.

Cheapy D; go find some inspiration and stop being so goddam lazy.

Shipwreck; You're good at math. I guess that's cool?

So did you want Hybrid or not?

I spend a couple hundred bucks a year to produce a gaming podcast which makes me $0. But yes, I don't care about gaming and only care about money.

Get off my site you Anti-Semitic asshole. I wish I could ban you from listening to my show too.

/yesifeelbetternow

^ Lol, the last three posts are gold. Ship, your comment made me laugh and Cheapy I applaud you.

Anyways, great show. Watched Drive over the weekend, and it was great. I can see where people disliked it, but I still found it quite enjoyable. Wish there were more car chases though.

Re: the weird banned dude.

It's weird how much some people get their knickers in a twist over a podcast. Do they really spend 90 minutes a week just raging while listening to a show they don't even like? Weird.

For whatever it's worth, I think this podcast is flat-out awesome. It's the only one I listen to with regularity. It's always funny and interesting, provides a couple hours of entertainment while at work, and always feels genuine. Thanks, and keep up the good work.

So now that we know Wombat is an expert marksman, how many of us are looking back on our hypothetical Walking Dead scenario saying they'd like to have that decision back.

Agreed.

Any one who likes Slender may also like the Marble hornets series . They are both based on the same mythos, slender even has a unlockable mode based on Marble Hornets.

This is pretty "off-topic," but practically every single podcast (regardless of the type of content or genre) has people who make similar comments on every show. It doesn't make any sense. Some people just really have nothing to do, so they subject themselves to things they don't enjoy, and then feel entitled to complain about it since they sat through it. Or something.
