Rrrrrreach out and touch plates.
I hate announcing we're doing another Podcastle. I feel I might as well be telling someone their mother died. Nevertheless, it's Podcastle time again so I have to deal with the grim business at hand. I think we're talking about Lara Croft tonight, and since I can't be bothered to play those games, I might just eat lollipops and let Atheistium do her pseudo-lesbian womancrush thing.
Or rather, let Lauren and our mystery female guest do pseudo-lesbian womancrushing! Our super secret mystery guest, who is not Phoenix Blood, will be joining us to make up for my utter lack of knowledge when it comes to anything about Tomb Raider ... or anything else.
Yes, it's a girl. You know you must download this show now just on the vague hope that she and Atheistium will do snogs on each other's muffs.

Question: What are your thoughts on this whole Rock Band debacle?
Also, what are your feelings on a unified console front? AKA the one console future.
yes :P.. naah just kidding... what's an podcastle?
(though the very long to write nickname doeas :P)
..
@jim:
aaa.. you cheating on me already :D ?
How would Lara Croft look if she was wearing one of Jim Sterling's monocles?
How would Jim Sterling look if he was wearing Lara Croft?
...What the hell does that even mean?
Questions: -Who does it better, Lara Croft or Nathan Drake?
-Are either of you wearing pants in that picture?
Patrick Moore has a monocle and is cool.
Chris Eubank has a monocle and is not cool.
The Penguin has a monocle and is not cool.
Colonel Mustard has a monocle and is not cool.
Basically, there seems to have been a lot of very uncool people wearing monocles for a while. I appreciate you trying to redress the balance of cool people who wear monocles, Jim, but be careful not to fall into the pit of despair that is populated by idiots like Eubank.
Colonel Mustard is a pimp. Don't hate the player.
As I'm quite sure this will not happen, could we have Jim do an enactment of what it might sound like?
I have no real question since I played one game and that damn mummy wouldn't die and let me through. That shit was annoying enough to forget about the boobies.
What was the worst Tomb Raider game in the series? (Angel of Darkness gets my bid, though I haven't really played many TRs.)
:P
besides does any1 know where to download the masterchief model in to ut3.. pc version???
Me neither. I've no idea how I am going to remain relevant this episode ... not that that's ever been an issue.
Give her a good reaming in this episode, or as us Yanks would say "Tear Her a New One..."
Are there any games like tomb raider that are better but dont have her so have done badly?
Why has Lara had such a big impact on the mainstream- Tv, audience n even BBC news reports.
Off topic:
Where is a proper fap about how wiked Lost Odyssey is (you just sortof said it was good then stopped) ?
What you think of Rock band costing the price of a xbox?
Did you let that guy go in the picture or was that cup full of GHB?
Question: Is the Tomb Raider franchise still relevant in the gaming world today? Do that many people still give a monkeys about a New Tomb Raider game or are they just infatuated with Ms Croft?
Also how many times did you make Lara jump off the top of that huge tower in the first game just to hear her scream (3 times?) before crashing down on the floor?.....ah good times.
I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Also, which Lara is preferable? The slutty Lara that poses naked with that bastard Duke Nukem, or the newer less naked more polygonal larger breasted Lara?
Boobs + Guns + Dinosaurs = Win
However
Lara Croft != Win
Why?
Funny that you would bring Lara as topic for an episode of podcastle of all things. Perhaps discussing why it was necessary for the franchise to travel to the americahz before it was turned into an actual good game should be touched upon. If not, just touch whatever else is handy.
Question 2: How would female gamers change Lara Croft character and body?
Question 3: Does the next Tomb Raider title feature the same boob physics engine like the next Ninja Gaiden (see trailer with female "cia agent" thrown out of helicopter)
Question 4: Boob physics next big middleware?
Question 2: How does lara pull off those acrobatics, with those huge sweater hams throwing off her center of gravity. The inertia of those things must be tremendous.
thatisall
Also, how strong is your hatred of said movie.
-Please explain for us ignorant, capitalist, American pigs what "bollocks" and "fortnight" mean.
-and what Euro exclusive game do you hope us yanks never get due to how shitty it is?
As I said before, as Lara's boobs keep inflating from game to game, I really can't express my enthusiasm until she bears ones like Lolo Ferrari.
Care to discuss what new types of gameplay would such attributes bring?
Do you wish to see the return of either of those features in the Underworld if done better and more thought out?
Also should Lara return to the cityscape again or just keep her archeological fancy to the tombs?
Also less men with guns, more dinosaurs please.
Then we'd be playing Duke Nukem Jungle Jam!
I always found it hilarious that you could just run onto a small ledge as the hordes of gorillas or tigers or *insert RAARR animal here** try in vein to get you, pacing around the small object you sit upon! 15% of the time playing the game felt buggy.
