Podtoid 79: Nathan Drake is back, baby photo

The VGA's were ridiculous, people are afraid of change, and Sony doesn't know what the hell they're doing. These are the topics of Podtoid 79.

You can go here and listen to Jim, Aaron, Topher and myself bitch about gaming society, as always. Highlights included:

- The subtle art of Quincying

- If you love Sony, you should hate them

- Y'all come back now if you evers want some food

- Assassin's Creed on the DS is the pinnacle of technological achievement

- Difficulty levels, and the absurdity therein

The best question this week came from greeneggsnsam. Send me an email at reverendanthony [a t ] gmail [ do t] com and we'll send you some neat swag.

[The song is "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See" by Busta Rhymes.]

Wow, you guys actually watched the VGAs?

I guess you kind of should though, considering your jobs.

Man, this whole commercial thing is alright but throwing one in 13 minutes into the podcast and smack dab in the middle of the "what everyone's playing" segment was really jarring.

That being said, I already laughed at Topher so that's a good sign for the rest of the show.

"If you love Sony, you should hate them? Give me a fucking break."

Totally deciding that I said something different to what I ACTUALLY said? Give me a fucking break.

You should listen to the show before whining, really.

Very nice, but considering Home, Sony's not in a nice place right now. Hopefully negative feedback, or "hate", will jar them into producing decent services instead of rushed, half-assed, barely functional ones that they've been doing from the start. If anyone remembers what the PS Store used to be like they know what I'm talking about.

Fun SurplusGamer fact: a friend lent me Jumping Flash about a year or two ago when he told me it was the reason he got a PlayStation. I got the game home and realised that the guy that says 'Jumping Flaaash!' on the title screen is a good friend of mine and taught me almost everything I know about improvised comedy.

Linde, I thought you were cool, man.

You're turning your back on the two things that have made you WORLD FAMOUS. First off, you disown Aaron Linde's Bonerquest™, and then we get snubbed on the Siegelpunz.

Weak.

The thing people say about " you have to play it on hard" makes sense. Games like R6V or GRAW that rely on more strategy, can be played like straight shooters if you go in on easier settings, making it worst. Fuck, you can do whole missions just using the knife in COD on normal dying a couple of times, people bitch about how easy Bioshock was because the played it on normal. Games are much easier nowadays, i used to think the deafault dificulty was the way they meant us to play the game, i don't anymore.

Was the Old Greg reference said on the show? That's what I was totally thinking when Sterling pulled out his "southern" accent.

"Want some Bailey's?"
