Whats poppin' gents?

Hey King. S a F D

So Necros hows it feel to know that I will most likely be playing your copy of Modern Warfare 2 before you?

On a more serious note. I recently purchased a PSP, a system I swore to myself that I would NEVER purchase. And though I bought it for the express purpose of pirating games for, I feel as though I have gone back on my word. My question is, have you ever bought a game, platform or anything game related that you had previously said/sworn you would never buy? And why did you do so?

FAILCAST! Who is the most badass motherfucker ever to grace a videogame?

ANIMUCAST! Have any of you guys watched Dead Leaves yet?

MECHACAST! What is your #1 mech of all time? This question spans across all media including videogames, anime, manga, comics, movies and god knows what else.

Which Green Lantern is the best?

Also, I know nothing of Green Lantern. Recommend me a graphic novel to start on.

Failcast: How many games do you have in your backlog at any given time? I know I'm running upwards of 20+ at the moment. I pick up stuff I know won't be on shelves very long (atlus/NIS stuff for example), but then never find time to battle the backlog.

Is this your first time saying dick?

Also, multi-track drifting.


Animucast: How did you get started into watching animu?

Any one else a big Eva fan? Asuka in unit 2 fighting the production evas is still fucking amazing to watch.

If you could only get 3 games in all of 2010 -- what would they be, based on your current knowledge of them?

My 3 currently are --

1. Heavy Rain
2. Red Dead Redemption
3. Crackdown 2

What videogames do you play when you guys need to relax?

Strangely enough I've been playing persona 3 lately as a way to cool off lately.

@Kryptinite

I'll say Hal Jordan for sure.

Start with Green Lantern Rebith and read everything by Geoff Johns.

where do you guys stand on the whole realistic vs. unrealistic graphics debate? the podtoid crew has made it pretty clear on several occasions that they prefer cel-shaded, sprite-based, and generally more cartoony graphics, and i'm inclined to agree with them, but i think it's still worth it to continue pushing for realism in games where it's a suitable design choice.

Also, there's been much bellyaching over developments like New Super Mario Bros. Wii's Super Guide and Bayonetta's one button mode, and how their leading to the end of difficulty in games for the benefit of new players; a topic made particularly poignant by the latter's recent release. Where do you all way in on the topic? It's it really worth getting fussed over, or no different then the easy modes in the past, and thus, unlikely to harm our normal and hard difficulties, and instead likely to help guide new gamers first attempts. Or is it not the actuality of the super guide that matters, rather the mentality of catering to "casuals" that is so worrying, or is it simple, unavoidable human nature; the desire to preserve the sanctity and honor of a certain task (beating a game) as letting others reach it makes it less special.

And on an easier note, whose each of your choice survivor for Left 4 Dead 2, and can we play some time?

How awesome is Planet Hulk? If you haven't read it, fix this problem.

If you could go back in time and prevent a single video game from being made, what would it be, and what ramifications on the gaming industry do you think would occur without that game happening? For example, if you prevented Halo from being made, would FPS even exist at all?

Have you guys ever watched an anime that was incredibly good but had a massive fail of an ending that either ruined or nearly ruined the entire show?

I loved the anime Great Teacher Onizuka but the last two episodes not only killed the series for me but killed my interest in anime.
