You know what sucks? Working sucks, that's what. Especially when it interferes with my RFGO! time. And even though there are starving people in the world who could benefit from my steady paycheck and all the wondrous Ramen it could bring them; I told those bastards at my job that they could shove their "mandatory" overtime hours up their you-know-what.
I then did my best Jerry McGuire impersonation while storming out of the shoelace factory screaming, "This week's show is about multi-player, and I'll be damned if a bunch of cave dwelling trolls like yourselves will keep me from it. Crawl back into you filthy earthen cubicles and bother me no more, wage slaves -- I've got a show to record."
Highlights!
- The dolphometer is set to meh, another Nintendo employee bites the dust
- Topher has a very important message to you Halo fans
- Super Thunder Blade (*Contains no actual thunder, super or otherwise)
- What's in a name? Ask the Reverend
So enjoy the product of our blood, sweat and Ramen buying paychecks by listening to this week's show. You can find this gem of mp3 magic conveniently located on our
podcast page, or just find us on iTunes. Either way, just remember that no one loves like we love you, and that's the truth (unlike everything else I've written today!).

Gauntlet II never ended! I played that single player and maxed out the warrior's stats, health, score, everyfuckingthing.
I actually remembered commercials for the NES Satellite from back in the day, but never knew of the Fourscore until recently. Bought one a couple years ago, all I have that uses it is Gauntlet II and Super Spike V-Ball. Too bad I don't have 4 controllers :P
Anticipation: B-b-b-bird bird bird, bird is the word! Someone find that commercial, I didn't see it on YouTube.
Pac-Man Vs. just got a rerelease on the Nintendo DS via the latest Namco Museum title. Single card multiplayer, so all you need is people around you with DS systems in hand. As I mentioned in the preshow comments, that game was a big hit the couple of times I brought it to college. I left my Gamecube in the lounge with friends while I went to a class, and when I came back they were still playing Pac-Man Vs.
I've turned my difficulty level/handicap up in a couple games. Nothing much, I just like to show off a bit.
Watching other people play games can be fun, it's weird to see someone else's play style. it's also sometimes infuriating when they get stuck and they don't want any help and you have to restrain yourself from shouting out the blatantly obvious.
Super Mario Kart's battle mode was fantastic. They could re-release that, upgraded to four players, by itself, and I would buy it.
The original Halo 16 players over system link was a hell of a lot of fun when my friend lived in a house with a bunch of housemates who had Xboxen. We also played 8 player Mario Kart: Double Dash!! one rare time, racing through each course twice, four people in the living room and four in the garage. Good shit.
That wasn't me discussing Secret of Mana, I never played it :) Thanks for the shoutout all the same!
I played with the Tingle Tuner like one time. Jet Force Gemini's co-op was pretty damn cool- someone playing as Floyd was an invincible pistol with unlimited ammo, great drop in and out. Shame about the other multiplayer modes.
Lego Star Wars II, as simple as it was, was awesome fucking fun with my brother. Another great drop in/drop out co-op game. Definitely one of the better recent examples. Good for a rental.
I'm totally down for a multiplayer party at Dyson's if inviting a nearly total stranger from the Internet doesn't rub you the wrong way. I'll bring the Dreamcast. I'm only half-kidding.
What I should do is make an effort to get all of us college mates together now that most of us have graduated. We've done LAN parties but the whole day has basically been spent getting everyone's computers to play nice together. I sorta miss school.
1. Anticipation
2. Gauntlet
3. One of the 100000 Bomberman games(No clue which one. There are too many and I have not played them all)
4. Nightmare on Elm Street
1. Anticipation
2. Gauntlet II
3. Bomberman II
4. A Nightmare on Elm Street
All are NES games that support three or more players. The original Bomberman on NES did not even have a battle mode, and the original Gauntlet didn't support 4 players. Gauntlet II was the one I owned, obviously.
And Reaprar, don't be shy, it's every robot for themselves! KILL KILL KILL!
Srsly though, I tried to be less of a dick/increase my chances by explaining how this week's games were related.
I feel dirty.
1. Anticipation "Blue Puzzles" theme
2. Gauntlet "Song A"
3. Bomberman 2 "Battle Mode" theme
4. Nightmare on Elm Street
I never got a multitap.
I won't be playing the haloez either (although i'm being pressured by peers, help!)
I would like to play Gauntlet on Co-op with any of you =).
I suck at contra =(
Yay! Dtoid on Bomberman!!
Oh noes!! I have no money for points =(
As far as the contest winner goes, the 'Force is currently debating who this week's winner will be. I'll keep you posted.
