OP here, disregard that, cocks, etc.

How SFW IS SFW when it comes to BonerQuestions?

If you're ready to get mad, pick up MadWorld when it slashes onto store shelves, this March.

Have you ever got really wasted and did something you regret.. so the next day you bought a videogame to try and forget about it?

Do you guys have any good recommendations of web comics that people may not have heard of? I love reading Questionable Content, xkcd, Penny Arcade, stuff like that, but I'd love to get into some better ones. Any suggestions?

Also, can I stay with any of you guys at PAX this year?

Anthony, when you played F.E.A.R 2, did you bump into a checkpoint in the theater, where a big fellow with a laser gun pops out and kills you? the demo checkpointed me right before the bastard killed me, resulting in a death loop.

just wondering if you saw some others fishy stuff there. I know it was a demo, but with the way it looked and felt, i was expecting more..technical polish?

So did you guys get all the endings in Bonerquest? Or fight the SPOILER Vaginamen?[/b]SPOILER[/b] How about the arena mode where the final encounter is, SPOILER AGAIN OCARINA FAN SPOILER.

Has everybody played Bonerquest yet? Most if not all the kinks should have been worked out by now. Statistics are still a little off with some monsters not doing enough damage in some areas, but things mostly work now. It is playable and a video game. Will you accept the Bonerquest? Download it over here in case you missed the new version getting posted.

Also guys, Bonerquest 2 has the most amazing tagline ever. I was letting someone play on my xbox live account, and they told someone "Revenge always comes." Considering that the plot has to do with revenge and coming, how could I not use the line. Seriously, what a great line.

One last thing for Topher: Gradius V yes or no? I'm looking into it and R-Type Final. And for some reason Gradius V was really expensive on amazon.

Not to make a long post longer, but Topher brought up an excellent point that I've tried to make about new games on Retrforce. The only thing stopping you from beating a new game is time. The only thing stopping you from beating Ninja Gaiden or Castlevania is their gameplay. Discuss. Should a game be forgiving or should a game be difficult?

@Timdabrat

I had considered doing a film version of Bonerquest actually. As with everything I do, a movie version seems to enter into that fantasy. If I could gather together enough people to play the main cast from the game, I would do as straight an adaptation as possible of the material. Of course I would have to overdub everyone's voice and probably play some parts myself, but it could be fun to do.

What do you think is the most disappointing aspect of the current-generation of games/consoles? I personally think the lack of AI advancement is a shame. With all this new processing power it's sad to see AI worse than AI on PS1 games. Or do you guy's think the new trend of "short but gorgeous looking" games is the worst new thing?

does hollywood have any right to blame games for lack of sales, considering theaters (minus imax) have not evolved in any way other than ticket prices going up. games constantly evolve and the only money making movies tend to be (minus dark knight) cgi tit fest movies. and with bluray and hdtv's now people can have a better quality experience in their own homes. can the theater make a come-back or will they just continue to blame games and not evolve past the popcorn. we still sit in the same theater liquid stained seats they put in 10-20 years ago but the movies 10-20 years ago were really enjoyable to watch.

I just got done playing the Fear 2 demo and the one thing that really annoyed me was when the game tried to mess with you head with a "Everything turns red and oh there's something scary" moment. I was just wondering if you guys don't having those moments in a game or if you find them as annoying as I do.

Do you ever feel that perhaps the general gaming atmosphere is too pessimistic?

For example, its seems Mirrors Edge got shat on because of gameplay issues. Never-mind the fact that it was trying something new and Dice will learn there lesson to improve upon it if they ever made a sequel.

Silent hill 5 got shat on because it was too combat intensive. But its a franchise that has up until now lived with Resident Evil 1. It may not of been the best direction, but at least its a new direction.

My question is, It always seems that games get the boot if they are not near flawless. People scream and whine for innovation but when it comes in an experimental form, a form that is new and has yet to be tested, people disregard it. I suppose thats what makes valve so good, is there constant play testing. But should we be more thankful for the games we have?

What do you think about the new fancy colored psps? what's your opinion about sonys psp policy?
you guys should call tiff again and invite her to the show ;)

Do you ever make jokes, even if you know ahead of time that they're not funny and might make people feel awkward? Like when someone treats you to dinner or something and sarcastically asks you to pay for it when you get up to the cash register?

I just finished my last math class in college, and our math teacher was a pretty large guy. He would write a question up on the board, then write the answer near it and stand in front of it (in order to block it). He'd then say something like "This is one of the advantages of being fat, I guess!" and everyone would just bite thier lip and look away.

Whenever I get my hair cut, I find I literally can't hold myself back from making a really lame and socially awkward joke: When the barber (usually female) finishes up and holds the mirror behind my head, I always say something stupid like "Looks good, but you took to much off the top in the back!" She'll look confused for a second, and then realize that I'm referring to the ever-growing bald spot on the back of my head before forcing a smile and a light chuckle. Why do I keep doing that?!

I keep hearing people making game of the year lists and they are always pretty much the same idea. I want to know, what is your game of the year 2008 that you only started playing this month?

Hopefully this post won't disappear like last week's post.

Question: I just finished replaying Parasite Eve for the PS1 after reading the community blog by GamingGoddess and with it came memories about weird erotic dreams I had with the main antagonist Eve of the game. Did you ever had dreams about videogames or videogame characters?

So, Jim.
Did the analyst inside you ever figure out my shoe size?

But haven't they "blocked" the demo for non-JP users after release? I know alot of people who managed to download it, but could never play it.

And I apologize if it's already old stuff. ;)

What good DS rhythm games are out there? I tried Rhythm Tengoku Gold but damn, I couldnt get passed the ping pong stage. Failing that, what other DS gems are there, that didnt get cuaght up in the mainstream? I only played RTG becuase you guys wouldn't shut up and loved it.

Cheers!

Why does the games industry hate January? There is next to no news game wise compared to november in antisipation of december its hard to keep up at times yet January is a ghost town.

Hitman 5 where is it? I wanna know do some sleuthing for me :p

What game are you most looking forward to being revealed this year? (example: the new game from Team ICO)

what do you guys think about project origin? worth buying it or not?

"The Afro Samurai game will keep you pacing to and fro in anticipation"

Aaron, "I wonder if there is a number between seven and nine" said Tom considerately - yes or no.

Jim, don't you know I gots mouths to feed?!?

Anthony, should games be rewarded for good voice acting even if the script is horrible? How 'bout dem Yankees? I believe Kingdom Hearts is a prime example of this.

Topher, sup?

Aaron, what's with your fascination of boners? Every podcast all that comes out of your mouth "Boner boner boner" and ironically a bit of cum. I mean, to go as far as single-handedly develop a game about boners is way past the line of obsession. What made you this way? Were you flaccid as a child? Are you coping with the embarrassment of your boner-less teen years? Or do you just like throbbing cocks? Whatever your problem, you're making a real juicy dick out of yourself.

With Resident Evil 5 forgoing the the Resident Evil tradition of using typewriters as save points for a check point sytem, this brings up the question of which is better; save points/areas or check points. Personally I perfer a save point system as it makes the player sure of where the last save was.

What is your favorite homebrew game, and does this, in your opinion, include flash games?

Powder is mine, and if you have an R4 you owe it to yourself to try the DS version.



If you want to add flash games to the mix, I'd go with Brink of Alienation 3, which while 'generic' as fuck, is entertaining is exactly the same caliber.

Just concerning an issue brought up in last week's podtoid, you guys were discussing the issue of Miyamoto's patent on a gameplay (or lack thereof) idea of using in game video walk-throughs to help the player, and they can jump in at any time. I forgot who said it, but someone was disturbed that "ideas" were able to be patented in games. I don't know if this goes along with what you guys were discussing, but the Active Time Battle system used in Final Fantasy was patented back in 1995. (link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_fantasy#Battle_system)

Just wondering if this fits the bill as part of the fears you guys were discussing.

Are there any games that are so bad that they're good? Something along the lines of horribly cheesy old sci-fi and horror movies - there are absolutely no redeeming qualities to them, which is why they're so enjoyable. Is this even possible with games?

Video game terrorists have kidnapped your mom, who you (just for the sake of the question) love.
In order to defeat these video game terrorists, you must consume them, with nothing but your hands and teeth.
What videogame characters would you like these terrorists to be?
