Failcast Episode 53: HURPIN AND DURPIN
FAILCAST | 6:56 PM on 11.16.2009 11 comments



Failcast: It's kind of like that

The way I see it, literally tens of listeners, there are 3 ways to fail catastrophically in this world:

1) Buy a super ultra limited edition of a video game and not play it for close to 10 months
2) Forget to press record until 6-7 minutes into the show
3) Be Necros

This episode has failed in one of these ways. I'll let you guess which one. The be-moustached Uncle Milkshake joins king, Yashoki, Ryu89, and Cataract in another week of awful and suck, and the worst part is that you're going to listen it. Masochists.

Failcast episode 53 records tonight; Can you handle it?
FAILCAST | 5:31 PM on 11.10.2009 20 comments




He's waiting for Failcast. Can you?

It's time for another night of Failcast, only a few hours after we finally posted our show from last week. (Hint: go listen!) Tonight's episode may be a little weird, since I'm fairly certain there will be a few hosts subbing in, but our community guest is UncleMilkshake.

We hope you know the drill by now, but just in case: questions below, and Yashoki probably won't read any that don't have a question mark. Go!

Failcast Episode 52: It’s Not My First Time Edition
FAILCAST | 12:14 PM on 11.10.2009 10 comments




Wow, who would have guessed: thanks to me, Failcast is late again. Then again, it's not like you listeners out there care. If you really did, you would have stopped downloading this eardrum-ruining tragedy of a podcast a long time ago. The numbers tell the story here, and there are literally tens of listeners who have spoken. Literally. Tens.

This week, oldfag Taumpy (aka Tampon) Tears joins the usual gang of Yashoki, Necros, Hitogoroshi, and kingLATEbo for another terrible episode. Even though we eventually serious up and talk about some actually important topics, the show manages to suck just as hard as always. We wouldn't want to disappoint, after all.

Outline of the show that sucks because I'm lazy:

- "Let me guess, Kotaku"

- Community feedback

- We make fun of Necros... again (This never gets old, surprisingly)

- Bugsport expects better writing in games

- Handy writes silly stuff

- Krow calls us out, and it hurts king deeply

- A kauza cblog that we recommend you read

- Modern Warfare 2: Is it turning your children into TERRORISTS? MORE AT ELEVEN

Music Credits:

OP: Eric Cartman - Pokerface

Kong In Concert

John Mayer - Everyday I Have The Blues

ED: B.B. King - How Blue Can You Get

As always, email us at Failcast@gmail.com if you want to get on the show.

Failcast episode 52 records tonight; A wild Abra appears!
FAILCAST | 4:44 PM on 11.03.2009 21 comments




Failcast is recording again tonight! If we were at all consistent, 52 episodes would mean that we had put out one episode a week for an entire year. Yeah...that's not the case, between breaks, bonus episodes, more breaks, and that whole business with the "beta episodes" during our first year. (We were so young and foolish...) Oh well, at least we've stuck with it this long and found yet another reason to congratulate ourselves.

Tonight's guest is one Mr. Taumpytears, a person on the internet. He enjoys surfing the web and riding horses.



You know what to do in the comments, so let 'er - oh, you need me to spell it out? Sigh. Ask questions about Destructoid and The Vidya for us to answer on the show! Aaaaaaaaand go!

Failcast Episode 51: If You Die on the Show, You Die in Real Life!
FAILCAST | 7:16 PM on 10.29.2009 8 comments




So. This episode is actually from last week, since we didn't get it out then and didn't record an episode this week. Which means we have this awesome show which we know you'll love, it also means that some of our topics are outdated in that special internet way where things are ancient after a week. So it goes!

Cataract subs in for Hito, Bigby is our special community guest, and the rest of the crew (Yashoki, King3vbo, and Necros) are just as self-absorbed as always. Outline Get!

Outline of Fail:
00:20 - It's all the same in the dark
07:00 - It all comes back to furries
13:40 - If only we were Graphcast
18:35 - The devious plan revealed
26:00 - Community feedback
29:40 - The secret of the Wii Vitality Sensor
35:20 - Visceral game experiences
39:40 - Editing error at this point, IGNORE ME
45:25 - Stufflikethatstufflikethatstufflikethat
52:40 - "I can piss on anybody, but I can't just make anyone dance"
58:55 - Team Rhoomba
63:45 - TheRookieMonster discusses Modern Warfare 2's controversial server decisions
76:15 - The guy who made some comics that we looked at I dunno go find them yourself
78:10 - Community Podcasts in the Forums
80:25 - Double Down!

Music Credits:
OP: Boots Randolph - Yakety Sax
Metal Slug 1 and 2 OST
