I’m just starting it. I’m hearing a lot of ‘god damn’. Not normally a swear that bothers me in the slightest, but he’s saying it often enough that it begins to be nonsensical. When you say ‘god damn’ twice in one sentence, you have a problem.
I like Giant Bomb’s idea for a new Monster Rancher game using Natal.
Here’s a banana, gimme a monster.
Along the lines of the ‘see what kind of monster comes out of Purple Rain’?
Cute.
Yeah, there’s been a lot of RFG discussion if you’ve been paying attention. 1up actually talked about it for 20 minutes or so before it came out. They were really stoked about the multiplayer.
I just started watching it a couple of episodes ago and really like it. It’s put together well, amusing if a bit cheesy in spots, and focused. Plus the video is nice.
I haven’t listened to the Sharkey episode, and even I’m going to complain it was too much
Yeah, I stopped right at the beginning of the Overlord discussion yesterday and didn’t really see what people were talking about with regard to Sharkey and his constant swearing.
On my way home I listened to the rest of his appearance and it was truly embarrassing. He was obviously drunk beyond his capacity to form coherent sentences and was just inserting swear words randomly. I think the rest of the ListenUp crew was embarrassed for him. They all had the tone of voice one adopts when dealing with someone that’s waaay too drunk to make sense. His abrupt disappearance from the podcast and the lack of any comment on it whatsoever by any of the other three guys makes me think he probably rushed out of the room to worship at the porcelain throne.
Or possibly Ellis beat him to death. I mean, that’s the worst fight I’ve ever actually heard on one of these things. That’s not saying much, but still - Sharkey seems to be a mean drunk.
Did we hear the same thing? I heard one exchange of one sentence each. Sharkey said something about The Conduit being good for the Wii and Ellis yelled something out about how just because something is on the Wii, doesn’t mean it can’t be legitimately good. Was there a stealth edit of some bigger fight?
There was a point in there where Sharkey flat out repeats something David Ellis says, but in a snide, mocking tone. There’s a brief pause and it’s in that brief pause that I imagine David Ellis flashing back to high school and remembering a thousand wedgies, swirlies, Native American burns and redbellies. And in that moment he could have murdered.
Then John talks and they move past it. It was a tense moment, though!
There were also parts where John began to sound aggrieved, which is definitely not what I want to hear. I listen to Listen Up primarily because I still like John Davison a lot, but the What They Play podcast simply doesn’t speak to me. I’ve got no kids and I’m not Merdith Viera. John’s showing up as a favor, isn’t he? It’d be nice if they didn’t chase him away.
Key quote from Sharkey, submitted without comment. “And it fucking doesn’t mean any fucking goddam thing.”
Isn’t that unfortunate?
Sure would dig hearing from him more often.
That flew over my head I guess. I’m sure Sharkey was oblivious to any tension he was creating if he was as wasted as he sounded like he was. It must have been fairly heated for a second there because Garnett jumped in and sounded pretty concerned and pointed out (rightly) that it just wasn’t worth it to get so pissed about The Conduit. Sharkey moved right past the little tiff as if it hadn’t happened, which makes me think it didn’t mean a lot to him at all and he was just too drunk to make sense.

The cheese is the charm of the show and it helps to break up the segments of the show.
EA podcast 2 is up , I have to say it was entertaining and improved on the first one, already added the RSS feed (http://www.ea.com/rest/podcast) to my list. EA is so big that there is certainly lots of potential for great guest and Jeff Green "Grüner Apfel " is a great host.
Do you mean indian burns? Is nothing safe from the PC police?
No, I meant savage redskin squaw heap big wampum many moons burns. What the fuck are you talking about?
Apparently this guy is pretty safe.
I remember when I was 6 and my big brother gave me a nasty native american burn. It hurt for a week.
After my last native american “burn” I ended up without pants in front of a citgo station.
We called those Chinese burns at school.
I wonder which ethnicity actually invented it?!
