The Podcastle episode 08: Why it's good to be a European gamer photo

Somehow we managed it, but we've constructed an entire show about how good it is to be a European gamer. Actually, that's a total lie. Wardrox came up with fifteen reasons and we absolutely destroyed them because we are so awesome and really strong and the fastest race car drivers.

Sterling, Wardrox, Atheistium and Professor Pew join up for another slice of stupidity and swearing. Tune in for the following highlights:

Atheistium's American adventures!

Wardrox's take on Play.com Live in all its rubbish glory!

Professor Pew's accent!

AI in videogames and why it's all a lie!

Jim's twisted childhood!

Competition winners!

Masturbatory pressure points!

Hatred against everyone in Europe! 

Some of the most twisted logic ever devised to try and not admit that being a Euro gamer is awful!

All this and (sadly) more, coming to a Podcastle near you! Get it now from our official page.

Podcastle 8 = Epic fail of the most unimaginable proportions.

On the upside at least I won some random shit from your bedrooms... Yay?

Lol what a great podcastle :-)

Just one small remark, can you please stop splitting betweend UK and mainland? I do realise that most EU-dtoid-members are from the UK, but if you're doing everything "for the UK" ( like the UKNarp-list instead of jsut a EUNArp-list ), we just feel left out a bit :-)

That was just brilliant. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard as I did during the exponentially awful list of reasons why being a UK gamer is a good thing. I think the rain one pushed me over the edge - I had to pause the podcastle for a bit so I didn't miss anything due to excess laughter.

Small note on the rain one, also - it's raining right now, and the rain has effectively ruined a vast portion of the evening. And I did use that excess indoor time to break my high score on Tetris, so maybe Wardrox has more of a point than at first, second and fourty-fifth glance!

@mistic, I totally agree, however all of us are based in the UK, se we know (and thus talk) about Uk events, if you have any EU events, send me a PM and I'll bring them up :)

I'm glad people liked the show, apart from MCSnow, whome I now consider to be a cunt.

Also, regarding iTunes, you can drag-drop the rss feed, and there is an "add to iTunes" button thing, but I don't think were on the proper iTunes store yet.

@Jim/Wardrox: Sorry, let me make myself clearer. I mistakenly gave the impression that I didn't enjoy the last episode, which would not be true at all; it was filled with much lulment.
I only meant to joke that the idea of finding out what’s good about being a UK gamer completely failed!
Jim and Lauren, with their amazing anti-Wardrox skills, managed to turn it into one of the most negative podcastles yet.

I love you guys.

@Jim, due to your outing as a secretive nazi-game designer in one of the previous podcastles, I've been triggered to put my idea for a game like that on my cblog:
Shameless Plug
