Much better into. Karnov FTW!
New graphics. It’s cool, but I like the old one better.
I thought these came up on Thursday. A Day early, I’ll take though.
Great into. Tide- Why don’t you like being called Karnov? He’s a great character!
Goat talk two minutes in. This should be good.
Who the hell is Karnov?
Yeah, I’ll listen on my way home from work.
“whatever you say, Karnov” was my first laugh. Sounds like its going to be a great show.
Patchwork Heroes is so awesome. I loved the demo.
Call him Adam, or TideGear or Tide, just not Karnov!
I love your show. No one else talks about little games like Patchwork Heroes. Great description, SeanNOLA.
You guys sound taken back, when Desert says “You can ‘shaq-fu’ yourself”
Downloading this “Pathwork Heroes” you guys are talking about.
Everyone I know says “Loo-nar”. I need to pick this up, now SNOLA got me all hot and bothered.
I threw up a bit at DesertEagle’s “Red, White, and Blue” bit. This is your country man: http://www.ae911truth.org
Thanks, guys. I’ll listen later.
Why does SeanNOLA say it’s ‘Lunar’ and call it “Loo nah” later. LOL.
I still love ya, SNOLA.
Good show so far.
Desert, check your eyes- big difference between WII and WWII
“You have to stop for HammerTime” was Karnov’s best joke ever.
So far better than last week, but 2 hours?!?! You guys, we have lives and games to play!
Did you number this one right this time?
I call it Loonah, too. Doesn’t everybody?
Hey, it’s up on iTunes already!!!
Ill give it a listen when I have more spare time.
“Whatever you say, Karnov” LOL.
I pronounce it “Loo-Nar” but recognize that the “correct” way is “Loo-Ner.” Just like how I know it’s pronounces “Ka-ra-o-ke” but still say “Kar-ee-o-kee” because that’s how I roll.
Also, if you guys are trying to get this “SNOLA” thing to stick, no this: you can’t stop SNOBRALALALALALALA!
Also also, I meant “know this.” I’m a writer for crying out loud! Would it kill me to double-check before I hit the “Submit Comment” button?!
Ya Lahnatic, SNOLA!
Can we expect a full Lunar review?
Yep, more jokes from Adam. He was quite the wit this week.
DE, no mention of Hurt Locker winning best picture? You must have been happy.
In for the Shoot 1up code. I hope I win!
Why did you guys change the podcast logo?
I need to catch up on your podcasts. I’m about 4 1/2 hours behind!
I sure hope MHT works with a GC controller.
“I have fun playing with myself.”
DesertEagle, 2010
Break music is way cool!
Good interview. What’s up with the Gangsta-M crew?
“I’m gonna shot a f’ing missile that will explode it your head”
Good show guys. Keep the iphone section short and sweet.
Question sent for next show.
I predict next week will be a 2 hour+ show.
You guys are my shmup lovers!
Good show. Keep it up guys.
No, Deagle, you won’t like MHT, there’s no explosions or terrorists to shoot.
Good show, I couldn’t listen to it all, but I’m 45 minutes in.
Please link to the Samus rap.
Next podcast. Discuss:

How about link to all of Adam’s iphone apps.
Is that a pic from the airbrushed art of the Tech-Gaming van?
Great job by the Karnov Krew
Agreed.
Listening right now. Question sent for next week’s show!
Pretty good show. I’m liking this podcast.
http://www.the-adventures-of.com/
It’s from The Adventures of Duane and Brando’s LP of Devastation. I also recommend Battletoads and Double Dragon.
I think the new name of the show should be The Karnov and Friends Obscurity Hour with more iPhone Apps that anyone cares about.
Thanks, man!
Shorter podcast, please. Otherwise great show.
WTF?
Damn emo kids with nothing else to do.
Very cool. Great find.
Looking forward to reviews for Yakuza 3 and FFXIII.
I wouldn’t mind Shooting 1Up!
I don’t see what was so great about the movie. Just another war film with brainless grunts.

Honestly, I don’t know why he doesn’t like Karnov. I mean, I wish our readers implied that *I* punched dinosaurs in the face!
Id me mad too, if I was on a Commodore 64/128 cassette. Adam belongs on 5 1/4 diskette dammit!
Awesome, man! So funny.
Whose resonsible for this masterpeice?
PS of the year. That’s a good one.
Will listen tomorrow.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
THIS
Did Karnov really punch dinos? Or was that a total photoshop?

How did you know?
Nice, rolling in the ‘Cedes, on the way to the arcades.
Who drives this, Papa Smurf?
LOL. Shouldn’t it have spikes on it or something?
Desert,
Just wanted to remind you that the Pacific starts this Sunday.
From the Newsday review:
“From this, you will gain a keen understanding of what lies beneath those endless rows of markers at any military cemetery. This is an honest and often magnificent tribute to the 1st Marine Division.”
Kids, when you see this vehicle cruising through your neighborhood, resist the offer to come in and play their their “joysticks”. It will only end in tears and jail sentences.
