Just like that asshole who shows up to the party two hours late just to be "fashionable," Failcast is out late! Just, you know, in case you missed the fact that we're posting on a Monday. But I think we had some good reasons.
King3vbo had a ton of real life work. And food poisoning. And got a segment late. And was playing Steel Battalion. Hm, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that last one. Oh well, feel free to send him complaints for ruining the end of your week.
Speaking of ruining good times, E3 happened last week, and since there was no Podtoid or Podcastle to cover it, Failcast (or
Madninja) had the
visionary idea to hold community roundtables to discuss the Big 3's conferences. Which sounds great in theory, until you get to the part where
Sterling held a replacement
Podtoid and
RetroforceGO! talked about the retro news there, making the fact that our episode was delayed rather
silly. However, we're a stubborn bunch, and we're getting this out to you even though we utterly failed at keeping a good schedule last week. (Heads up: this week's preview episode will release on Friday instead of Thursday due to circumstances beyond our control.)
Anyways.
Ignoring all that bonus E3 stuff, we also have
two community guests on with us this week since
Charlie is off being Asian:
BigPopaGamer and
GuitarAtomik. They join
Yashoki, King3vbo, and
Necros to talk about...um...games and stuff. You know the drill by now.
Finally, have to point out that
BFeld13 and
Dead Movie Star made Failcast masks! Can you believe it? We certainly can't.

My basement rocks
Fuck all yalls, I was playing Steel Battalion. Got my 40 button controller and its all I AM THE MOTHERFUCKING FIST OF THE NORTH STAR
Seriously, long show is long. Apologies.
man this is massive. I can't wait to hear all of it.
Its not cool untill me and fooliz rock you with our sexy british/austrialian tag team. but you know, necros is alright, so it will do.
also guitaratomik's goatee demands respect and attention.
long failcast is long
@pheonix-blood
Damn right! It's my trademark...well...one of them.
Also, drunk GA was sooooo drunk.
Correction: LATE failcast is LATE.
YOU GUYS TAKE TOO GODDAMN LONG!!!
awesome reading rainbow intro. haven't heard that in 12 years.
Downloading now. Yippeeeeeee!
long failcast is super long.
Somehow I get the feeling they'll all disagree with me about getting scammed. How much you wanna bet??
I'm with King, Irish car bombs ftw.
I just made another Failcast mask. I hope you are happy.
Okkusenman... if you want all the fun to be ruined look for a translation. God damn pretentious Japs singing about growing up.
Long ass round tables were long as ass, by the way.
I'm sure the Resistance, Uncharted, Warhawk, and all other game-specific rooms will be places for stuff like behind-the-scenes & such. But I could be wrong.
brawl?
Ha ha ha, I had so many blog ideas from this podcast that I could write, but I will refrain.
I seriously thought the game was called Booty Calls and not Quest for Booty.
Just so ya know, you were making Viva Pinata a lot harder than it is. Theres shortcuts to almost everything that you almost have to use (since the game sucks sometimes and there are a few bugs). ex. try hitting the flower with the shovel to get it on the ground and tap the pinata homes to get them to come out. Still, there are a lot of bugs and I really, really, REALLY hope they fixed the game before they added the other pinatas.
Also, I second having Fooliz/Pheonix B rocking this shit. That will save me so much time fapping. I'm not gay,
completely cut the wrong text out of there. Well since its there, the "I'm not gay" comment was followed up by something about me liking Viva Pinata. What can I say? I like bright colors.
I've figured out tricks like that now and am more actively using them. Like Yashoki said, the main problem seems to be with any flying pinatas, mostly bugs; the grounded pinatas are much more easier to control. The main problem for me is still that the pinatas cannot be reliable counted on to do what I tell them, to go where I direct them. I can't tell if I should applaud the game for making a nuance where pinatas based on animals with smaller brains are less likely to be controlled or condemn it for getting in the way of my orgy parties.
What what?
