What do you guys think of the Mr. T game?

How important do you feel as a podcast, and as people lucky enough to be in the business that you are (kicking ass)?

Is it good to know one's place?

Hm..

All for the name of Potatofucker, say aye.


Now then, what about Jimmles' name?

Pishaw. If anything, Bonerquest is the cause of Swineflu. Why else is Mr. Obama so incredibly involved with this crisis?

He wants to cameo.

Will EA ever make a good SSX again?! SSX 3 was one of the best games of all time with the soundtrack (techno-esque) and gameplay. Ever since it has been a load of crap in my opinion. If EA does not make another do you think they will sell it to a company who will?

Question:

I recently purchased Bioshock since Bioshoch 2 is in the works, and mainly because it's cheaper now and I'm on a budget when it comes to video games (Samit understands how it is).

I haven't finished the game yet for two reasons. One, because it's the month of final exams, but the other reason is because of its gameplay.

Let me compare this to Prey to better explain since they have similar aspects. Prey has a unique setting/theme, just as Bioshock does. Prey had a pretty cool plot, some-what similar to how Bioshock has a cool story. Prey has unique guns and soul walking, Bioshock has plasmids. Prey has portals and gravity puzzles to pace the game, Bioshock has hacking and leveling up.

With all these cool aspects, here's what breaks the gameplay of both of them which lead to me taking so long to beat Prey and what has delayed me from beating Bioshock so far. Zero punishment in both of them. In both games, at death the player respawns without consequence. In Prey you have to do a 30 second minigame to regain health and power, and in Bioshock you end up maybe a few hallways back, but where is the fun? What is the point in even participating in the experience when I know in my head that all I have to do is keep bum rushing and I will eventually get what I want or to where I want to go?

So my question is, does a cool story and theme excuse huge gameplay flaws such as this? When I want to play a game, I want to have fun, shouldn't a game be fun before it becomes interesting?

After listening to Aaron Linde and Rev. Anthony for a year, I've decided to get into PC gaming. What would you guys consider essential playing material (aside from half life, braid and Team fortress 2) for a guy who has only played starcraft at his friends house?

Also I found out that NObu Noby Boy is getting a patch called "Fart boy"

I don't know whether to laugh or be horrified.

If Jim Sterling was a Pokemon what would he be?

I get to listen to this on my birthday, awesome.

QUESTION!
Whatever happened to the creative glory that was Shiny and PlanetMoon Studios? Why are games rarely made these days that match the surreal caliber of games like MDK, Sacrifice and Giants: Citizen Kabuto?

As a follow up, are there any developers who you personally wish would regain the creative glory of their heyday?

Since "that-game-in-Iraq" was "too soon", are games like Halo, L4D and what not "far too soon" since they haven't happened yet?

God knows I'm looking forward to the inevitable zombie/infected apocalypse or using advanced alien firepower...

Since Bisontoid was such a hit any plans on other video game movies being given the podtoid treatment?

Obvious choices are the Mario Bros movie and Mortal Kombat. Not to mention Uwe Boll's epic piles of shit.

Also, Legos or K'NEX?

Why does LEGO Rock Band exist?

Am I a douche if I own lacoste shoes?
