Necros: Does your jaw still hurt from that trout slap?
How awesome am I? From my ridiculous BlazBlue skills to my wonderful singing and fedora wearing, are your lives enriched from hanging out with me at PAX?
<3
How does it feel yo be back guys?
Also while we're on topic. What's poppin'?
Is it bad that I'm legitimately excited for your return? <3
Something I've been thinking about; I got in an argument with a friend about whether or not he was a gamer. His point was "I play Call of Duty, I play Wii Sports. These are games, therefore I equal gamer. QED." Mine was, "You play games, but you play them casually, and thus you are a person who plays games but not a gamer. That'd be like someone who occasionally goes to the movies calling themselves a film buff, or me calling myself an audiophile because I sometimes put on the radio." What we ultimately agreed upon is that while, yes, he is by no means a gaming connoisseur, or into the medium in any significant way, 'gamer' as it stands simply means someone who plays some games sometimes, with no other necessary qualifications. Like in the case of television, because of whatever artistic biases, there is no word for the person I'm describing other then a "hardcore gamer" which has other rather unfortunate connotations.
So it got me thinking, what could we passionate few call ourselves, (game buffs? videogameophilles? game worms?) and what might prerequisites be for someone to fir that profile? Do you need to appreciate the classics (retro games?) Play games for the story? Dabble in a wide breadth of genres? (Would a super dedicated gamer who only plays FPSs be considered such? What about the same for Jrpgs? Puzzle games? Sports games?) Is there some games you HAVE to have played (like Citizen Kane for films and Crime and Punishment for books) and what would those be? And what other thoughts do you have about this notion? (Sorry for the absurd length of this >.<)
Also something I tossed together in Photoshoop:
Who was phone, king?
If you could feel up anyone's man boobs, whose would they be?
Also, Left 4 Dead fapfic: Great idea, or GREATEST idea?
Oh god, How I've missed failcast.
King3vbo-Cast:
Two worlds have collided.
Also how much whiskey did you consume at PAX?
Manga-Cast:
Hito, I read all of Vinland Saga, which was fucking amazing, but now I have nothing else to read. Recommend something equally as awesome.
Vidjya Game Cast:
Theres TONS of games coming out in the next two months. Anything you guys dying to get?
Also, it was a fucking blast to hang out with you guys at PAX. The failcast crew were the only people from the site I was looking forward to meeting, and I was not disappointed.
What's this? Seriously.
Also,
King did you ever get a copy of the sketch you drew in Hoygeit's sketchbook? That thing was amazing.
Finally:
Macross Vs. Gundam
If you had to design a g gundam style giant fighting robot based off of your personalities what would it be like. I am thinking more on the wacky side ala the sombrero gundam than an actual practical gundam. Extra points for a Master Asia style persona.
Will Necros please sing "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News.
Also, is Senisan as sexy as he sounds in real life?
What makes a man is it the power in his hands? Is it his quest for glory?
Failcast, have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?
Welcome back, failcast!
Imagine all of you are jammed in the back seat of a speeding Cadillac, going down some godforsaken freeway at a ludicrous speed. Who would you prefer to be at the wheel?
A) Gary Busey on Coke
B) James Woods on Acid
C) Christopher Walken
What's poppin', Analoge?
Also:
There's rumor of a Mechwarrior Movie in the works to coincide with the new game. Is this good news?
King, what would you like to see the movie focus on? You Jade Falcon whore <3
Necros, who would win in a fight? Kamina or Haruko?
Yay! I missed you guys!
Also, what was your favorite part of Pax and what was the best game you played there?
Failcast:
Which do you go to PAX for: the games, the beer or the commnunity?
Animucast:
Having never seen a Gundam show before, what is the best show to start with?
You just don't fucking get it, do you?!
Failcast:
Do you guys hope they serve beer in hell? The ads for that movie being plastered all over Destructoid for the past month: good or bad?
Also, with everyone on Destructoid tossing their shit over having to buy Street Fighter 4 again, how will they handle needing to buy the far superior BlazBlue again with Continuuum Shift?
Animucast:
Recommend animes that are appropriate to watch when you're poor and going through some hard times.
About time you bastards get back to podcastan.
Oh, and how do you guys feel about the new characters in SSF4. Speculations on who they'd be/who you'd like them to be? Oh, and saying Dudley and Makoto is cheating. Don't be a cheater.
OH, and just to note, I can't wait to beat Tactix's T. Hawk in two games now.
PAX East?
Also, greatest Paul Newman movie. My vote is for Cool Hand Luke
What's your favorite movie of the year thus far?
Analoge: Did I give you my space AIDS at PAX?
Necros-cast: If you were black would your hair be even more amazing?
WoWcast: When I finally get to raid with the big kids in your guild, will you guys act all embarrassed and pretend not to know me?
Analogecast: Just yesterday I realized that you had proposed that Memphis NARP scheduled for last Thursday. Did that actually happen?
lol Hito looks like such a distinguished gentleman. I know old news is old but were you guys able to play Diablo 3 at PAX at all? thoughts?
Where the fuck have you been?
Could you guys suggest what pranks I should play on necros during the school year?
If you guys are the original coke, who's the new coke?
Yay I was waiting for you guys to come back! I wanna say it was great hanging out with all of you guys at PAX~ I miss all the hugs from everyone already :( I hope you all didn't get SARS like everyone else did that weekend. I was listening to your past shows and I realized you guys enjoyed the animu which makes me pretty happy.
huzzah for failcast!
