Failcast Episode 25: Macca is a Kiwi
FAILCAST | 5:40 PM on 02.02.2009 9 comments




Failcast is amazingly late this week, but instead of offering you an explanation, let's just pretend we weren't and get on with the festivities! This week, Yashoki, King3vbo, Charlie, and Necros are joined by some jerk from down under, Macca. Listen as we talk about...actually, a surprising amount of things, which is quite uncharacteristic of Failcast's norm. Outline, go!

Outline of Fail:
01:10 - McGuyver: Gamer Edition
05:05 - Obvious troll is obvious
11:00 - Macca has become surly
18:00 - Seriously, why do people like Harvest Moon?
25:00 - Community questions/feedback/whatever
32:15 - Scary Womanizing Pig Mask brings up this Chad issue
38:50 - Discussion of vegemite
42:05 - Tactix's latest community discussion is on next-gen consoles
46:45 - Failcast plays at Nostradamus
52:00 - Really really? Really.
55:45 - On the topic of online multiplayer and co-op
62:15 - Why does WoW keep coming up?
70:00 - Droll suggests that Pokemon is the most important RPG ever
74:20 - Pizzajam likes skipping school to play games
77:50 - We discuss BlindsideDork
80:40 - Join the PAX 09 Google Group!

Music Credits:
OP: DC Talk - So Help Me God
OverClocked ReMix - Kong in Concert
ED: Dead Kennedys - California Uber Alles

Downloading this is just like Flight of the Conchords, only not as funny.

You are on the verge of being a collector Necros, but that is not the actual point I want to make.

I agree with King about Digital Distribution is more apt for PC than for Consoles. With Console games I would not be that welcoming of DD for them because I prefer having a hard copy of the game... not sure why I just like having the DVD or Cartridge (in the case of the DS) in my ACTUAL possession, somewhere where I can actually touch it, see it etc.

I agree that we need bigger HDs or the option of having externals (another way for them to nickel and dime us.) The more space the better.

But see, in my mind, a collector would only collect, then play occasionally. Anyone who's seen my study habits can attest to the fact that I still play games very often, nearly every day; I just make slow progress through them, so it's hard for me to get through my colossal backlog.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
