CheapyD & Wombat that was a really entertaining show. While I liked the interviews, I would say that doing an interview one week but then going back to the format of the two of you just talking between the two of you is good also.
As for Major Nelson and E, I like the show and I like listen regularly, but it must be very easy to turn a deaf ear to people complaining that they have pay for content, when you get to preview all of it for FREE! Maybe if E had to pay for the games he has for all three of his XBox 360s he may not be quite as happy about paying for content such as map packs, and downloadable content.
I too am a Pokemon virgin that is until GameFly sent me Pokemon Pearl earlier this week. I never really understood why so many people were so crazy about this game. But now almost fifteen hours later, I see this addiction with clarity like never before. The light RPG elements and the collection aspect of the game make this a super fun game. If you do not have any Pokemon experience there is definitely a small learning curve. But once you get the basic concepts of the game down, it hooks you in and everything else in your life seems to be relegated to a distant second place in life.
Wombat’s comments about the PS3 interface are interesting. The interface is much faster then the XBox 360. It seems that when you switch blades in the 360 you have to wait for things to count or load. Where as the PS3 you see the lists pop up right away, but you do have to wait for a short period of time for the icons or thumb nails to load. What’s that? The phone is ringing? “Hello?” Oh it’s the year 1995 calling to say that the Playstation Network Store website looks really great, and looks really high tech and fancy! Honestly I would think that Sony would have created a much nicer online experience for buying content. The website oh I am sorry the Playstation Store is slow and needs a serious face lift, it looks like the first proto types of iTunes way back in the day when iPod’s had scroll wheels. This is more of a question to other CAGs out there, do you find that the SIXAXS controller seems kind of small in your hands? I find it hard to wrap my hands around the controller and it just does not have the same feel as the old XBox controller or the XBox 360 controller. I wish the controller was just a little bigger. Just a thought.
Wombat thank god I am not the only one asking myself what water head retard laid out the control format for Resistance Fall of Man, and Call of Duty 3 on the PS3. At least with Resistance you can remap the controls. But with Call of Duty 3 I got to the second mission and I as frustrated as a midget at an NBA dunking contest, so I sent the game back and bought it for the XBox 360 where people know what a trigger is. In talking about Resistance I like the game but I think that it does not capture the chaos of war like Call of Duty 3. And part of playing a WWII shooter game is to not have all the high tech weapons but to use a bolt action rifle where you have to aim carefully, not to have all the new and high tech weapons that you have in modern warfare. It will be interesting to see how Call of Duty 4 plays, and if it does as poorly as Battlefield 2 Modern Combat on the consoles.
Wombat, wouldn’t it be great if “A Fist Full of Dollars”, “The Good the Bad and the Ugly”, and “A Few Dollars More” came out on Blu-Ray. I love those movies. In a Fist Full of Dollars when Clint Eastwood looks up and tells all four guys that they need to apologize to his mule. That is classic cinema.
