Tech-Gaming Technology, Gaming, and Culture

Meanwhile, Samurage discusses Trapped Dead‘s unintentional diatribe on disabled access, before the crew dispenses the usual doses of gaming trivia and reader mail responses.

I finally got to yell it…
FIRST!
bout time you got off your lazy asses and got us a new show.
(Just kidding- thanks for all your work)
This better be a Karnov show.
Sounds like a good show so far.
chip tune intro…
Sound quality was “poop”?
3DS is both a failure and great seller? Could that because it’s a ‘experience’ failure in the eyes (pun intended) of consumer, even though it’s selling well.
The DS was released on November 21, 2004 🙂
Sorry to be an ass.
Great art this week, you got a laugh out of me.
Who did it?
Nope.
I think it’s time to bring Adam back next week. (Hint, hint)
Pilotwings Resort should be in the demo kiosks. SSFIV should be, and a multiple game demo.
NOLA, at launch here in upstate NY, two stores near me had sold out of 3DS. At the 3rd store I got the last black one.
Deagle, do you ever listen to Weekend Confirmed? They said the same thing about the Ok Go video.
Sean’s “Not-to-troll, but to Troll Anyway” comment was golden.
Yep, pretty cool this week. You guys should do a weekly comic.
great show this week!
Sounds fine to me.
No RPG talk this week, Deagle?
You all seem really serious this week. You should relax and have some more fun with the show.
Got my first “BSOD” or whatever they call it when playing GR.
Bottom screen gave me an error, and I lost my progress but it didn’t kill my system or anything.
Yep, the Crysis 2 cheats. I was on top on that diner in the second zone of the game, and some dudes got up there. I don’t know how.
Over 90 minutes? It’s about damn time!
But wheres the interview? I demand a lot out of my free entertainment!!!
Trapped Dead sound hilariously bad. You should do a video review, Deagle.
pretty good this week. I agree it could be funnier.
After last weeks, I expected a guest or appearance by Adam.
Yeah, I got two. Not a game breaker, but pretty annoying just the same.
There’s at least one LOL moment. I won’t spoil it!
good one this week.
I’ll listen today.
Nola, I hope you bring more Socom 4 info next week.
Watching my rear now.
More Sage please! More Sage.
Good going guys- I saw this was one of the hot podcasts on N4G.
Some easy trivia this week.
Yep- how does it play? Is the whole Zipper feel back after Confrontation? Any word on the SP game?
Just trolls are calling it a failure (Like Kotaku). Like you guys said, it’s selling well, and has a lot of 3rd party backing behind it. This weekend I didn’t see a glass case that had more that 4 of them in stock.
Calling anything a failure is an easy way to get webhits. You’ll notice that usually the blogs use headlines like “Kinect a Failure?” and no say it outright.
So far, blog have called the PS3, Move, Kinect, and now the 3DS a failure. Oh, and the Wii was a fad. Yeah, right!
Oh, what I was saying was that Deagle and I had recorded a show the previous week, but the sound quality was terrible, so we didn’t post it. I sounded like we were trapped in a paper bag.
If it ever happens again…
Super Punch Out!
pretty good show. I lived the trivia.
Pinkalicious?
some good laffs this show. Near the end.
Thanks fir the game info and trivia. Now answer my damn question!
Why do you think the next iPhone will be 3D?
I expected more butt jokes.
Steampunk jewelry? Bring back the boobz.
I actually don’t think the NEXT iPhone will be 3D, but I do think the one after that will be. Samsung and LG already have glassless 3D phones in Asia (they actually showed them before the 3DS announcement) so the 3D arms race is all set to go, and I’m sure Apple will want to offer 3D movies on iPhone.
Good show- I like Sage’s bit the best. Oh, the trivia was ok, too.
Deagle’s only on board cause he got a free one. I think 3D is a big waste.
Gimme some great 2D games.
I hope you talk about the NGP delay next week.
I really appreciate your professional approach. These are pieces of very useful information that will be of great use for me in future. Thanks for it.
Have you guys listened to this one? Gamepro’s RPG podcast.
Not sure if it’s a dude or chick, or kid hosting (unlike Deagle, whose my favorite man-child of all time)

First of all, I would like to appreciate the choice of theme that you have chosen for your blog, it looks perfectly wonderful. Now, coming on today’s post I must say that you have explained the subject in a concise manner that makes it easily understandable. Thanks for this information.
Next week:
Can IGN get any lower than creating a stupid reality show where teams make misogynistic or racist bosses?

SeanNOLA, I await the skewering that only you can provide!
When it’s so bad you don’t know if it’s parody or not, that’s bad. Only 11,000 hits….that is bad.
Bad that was awful. Someone at IGN needs to be fired.
The devil doesn’t know how to sing, only how to howl.
Who will win the Champions League??
