Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin: New Gamer Dictionary photo

I was absolutely sure that this week's HAWP would be a "love it or hate it" sort of an episode, but roughly half the comments so far seem to think that it's just so-so. More proof that I have no idea what the hell I am doing.

Also, yes -- I took my regular segment from RetroForceGO! and turned it into one or more HAWP episodes. I am utterly without regret. Just don't hold out any hope of seeing Hey Ash, Whatcha Playing: Bonerquest Edition.

Where's the episode that's supposed to involve Jim Sterling in some form!? I was promised sterling months ago, but unless I've missed something, then the promise has not been delivered. And I hated this newest episode.

Forgive me if I've missed this somehow, but have you been compiling a full online database of the NGD terms?

Not as good as some of the older ones but it was still great.
Keep up the good work... and get Ash onto one of the podcasts.

I agree. It was kind of just ok.

You shouldn't have put all three into one episode. Like, for example, the second term could have made for a really funny Matrix parody(red pill/blue pill = o(red button) and x(blue button) but they do the opposite things to what you are told)...or maybe a montage.

That last pic almost made the segment on that third term though...almost.

thats fucking terrifying. don't ever show me that again. great episode though. it seems like some of the new episodes deviate from the initial idea of what hawp is. while they seem to be getting better, (i.e. more structured and thought out) they lack the childish internet and slapstick humor that i have grown to love through hawp. i guess if i put it in perspective it seems like you, anthony, are writing/directing the newer semi intelligent (aka, has a plot, almost) episodes while ash and friends directed the older heinously stupid game parodies that sometimes have nothing to with the game at all. i enjoy both styles, but it seems like you should pick one to help the series grow, but then again, thats the wonderful thing about hawp. you never know what will be coming next. great work guys, keep it up.

Disregard that, they've all been moved to a youtube account that doesnt have them up anymore.

Or I'm just incredibly dumb.

Oh wow this has to be my worst.

Found the vids, and I apologise. My brain has a day off...

Pshh, more like when US releases screw up the button layout just to be different and switch the Yes and No buttons for no reason.

This IS a good topic of conversation, and should indeed be discussed further, though I do find some fallacy in the basic premise.

Goreshadowing was clever. Other than that, eh.

What's the term for a female character added to the game that serves no purpose other than shallow love interest?
Or when you buy a new PC game and find that its controls and menus all reference Xbox buttons?
Or get lethargic and lose interest in a game you legitimately enjoy playing and abandon it half-way through?
Or reach the game's ending only to find that the developers shamelessly designed it as the first of a trilogy that ends up never coming out?
Or that strange enjoyment you get from playing around with odd bugs and glitches in low budget games?
Or the behavior of intentionally playing badly or fucking things up to see what happens then reloading your save?
Or the name of the psychosis that inspires console fanboys to endlessly insult the 'rival' platforms no matter what, and endlessly defend their chosen platform and everything on it?

Good episode. You said in the past that you try to give every episode it's own unique humorous style. I think this episode is good evidence of this. I mean, that's one thing I can count on for HAWP. I might like the episode, or I might hate it. It might be the best thing I've ever seen. Whatever the case, it is never boring.

Also, why isn't there a New Gamer Dictionary Wiki?

I liked it but even if I get the joke at the end, and it was funny, having more than half the video about it gets a little bit... boring? I mean, I almost stopped the video before the end...For the rest, I found it hilarious, really. It's a shame it was not longer!

FUUUU-

The terms were pretty funny, if there were a bit more of them this episode would have been classic. Although I'm a little confused as to how you can say gaming doesn't have its own set of vocabulary. It kind of does, it just isn't very broad and doesn't span multiple games, but certain genres and games have always developed there own specific lingo over the years. Talk to any serious WoW player for 15 mins about the game, unless you've played yourself its like there speaking a completely different language.
