Tech-Gaming Technology, Gaming, and Culture
This week DesertEagle and SeanNOLA discuss the quality of barbecue, beer and beast hunting at Capcom’s Monster Hunter Tri event, while TideGear’s exonerates gaming’s most criticized piece of hardware. We also deliberate over the merits of 3D Dot Game Heroes, Again, Dead or Alive: Paradise, and the Earth Defense table for Zen Pinball and get ‘dirty’ and ‘flirty’ with our mailbag.
Don’t forget to send your questions for our next mailbag, and subscribe to the Tech-Gaming Podcast on iTunes.
Its about freaking time.
What happened to having shows come out on Thursdays or Fridays?
christ on a crutch- it’s up on itunes!!!
Only 91 minutes? Weekend Confirmed is 2 hours, people!
Liking it so far, but why is Desert making his voice go deeper? And where his girly laugh?
Ok, love the new opening. It sounds much more professional, just cue the music after Karnov finishes!
Pee-Pee sounds more ‘with-it’ this week, naming a Rampage character without hesitation.
No mention of trivia in the show notes. Please dont get rid of that.
Guys, I’m playing Pokemon Soul Silver. How do you give your Pokemon more that just a single level of experince with the Pokewalker? You mention something about a magic carpet. Details, please.
Do you guys think Tiger Wood should still have his name on the game?
Karnov, what’s you background in singing? You’re pretty musical!
Deagle, why did you do the MHT event if you don’t like the game? Just being a mooch or what?
LOL at Desert’s “bathroom hunter” underwater mechanics joke.
Thanks guys, will listen later.
How do you play Bathroom Hunter?
I cant wait for my weekly dose of Adam and NOLA.
Yeah, but Garnet is the best podcaster, the others are lame (the ‘I hate Just Cause 2’) guy or angry ‘the I hate motion control’ dude.
What Max Payne 3 is June?!?! No freaking way!
Confirmed: It was made up Kanji!
I didn’t know PopCap ripped off so many people.
NOLA, is you matrix movie on YouTube? Link it up!
Did any of you guys get an iPad?
Desert wheres the Resonance of Fate Review?
Downloading right now.
Why does the podcast pic have the old font?
Great show so far!
Pee-pee jokes FTW.
NOLA seems kind of down on 3D Dot Game Heroes. Hmmm.
I’ll let the lateness slide this week.
You guys seem like your really building chemistry. I like the whole clean/dirty tension between Tide and Desert.
Pretty funny show this week.
Great show. I bought a VB about two years ago in mint condition.
I’ll listen tomorrow. Thanks guys!
Yep. Lets see it.
I wish DE would stop trying to be like Cheapy D and just talk about games and not try to be funny all the time.
Agreed, not even close to the 1up magic. I’d rather listen to you guys.
Good show guys. Question sent for next show?
t-g podcast and cereal…mmm!
Actually, I like Deagle’s voice the best.
More SeanNOLA please. He didn’t seem to talk too much in this one.
Haha, not that I know of. We shot that on 8mm Video, though, so if I can get in touch with my high school buddies, it wouldn’t be TOO difficult to upload. I guess this is what Facebook is for…
The lateness is all my fault. My mom came to visit all the way from Alabama and I didn’t have time to sit at a computer for 3 hours. I will make it up to you guys, somehow!
That might be cool. Who knows maybe your friends already have it up.
How did she like LA? Did you take her to any local arcades?
I didn’t mean to be down on it, I just wanted to give a little more insight than other sites had given up to this point. I’ll get more in depth for the review, but that isn’t for another week or two (the game doesn’t come out until May 11!)
Ive been talking for a few hours a day- perhaps that has something to do with it. I’ll get a helium tank for 2-7!
She liked it a lot. I didn’t take her to an arcade (although I should have taken her to Nickel Nickel, to get another picture of her trying to play RE: GunSurvivor 2) but I took her to the last Ducks game and showed her the beach, so she was happy.
You realize my weakness. My head has no room for modern gaming as it’s filled with retro goodness.
I need to replace those Pac-Man ‘patterns’ and Konami codes with newer, equally worthless filler 😉
I know, a JRPG with John Woo gunplay- why am I not reviewing this?
I just called Sega, and it’s on its way, so I’ll be getting the lead out.
See what I did there?
Hey Chris,
The next episode will have a newly designed graphic.
Just for you.
The world is big enough for two big, bald, potty mouthed podcasters especially if only one of them is in the US of A!
That will get my $40 for sure.
What character did you play as?
Deagle, did you play as anything besides a tank?
I played as a lot, but my two favorites were the GT Car and the Samurai. I tried my hands at making my own, but it’s a lot of work!
Cool, I’m looking foward to it. Nice pun, BTW.
No comments from Karnov? What gives?
What is ‘Nickel Nickel’? Don’t tell me 10 cents wither, wiseguys.
I had a virtual boy and it did give me headaches if I played it for too long. But Im like that with any kind of 3D/headset things.
I dont really see any similarities. Desert taklks about games not taking his kid to daycare.
Hopefully you’ll talk about the tools in your review!
“NHunter of NMonsters”?!?!
I will listen on my way home today.
It’s an arcade in Huntington Beach (and I think there are others in SoCal) where you pay an entrance fee, and all games are either free or only a nickel to play. My girlfriend took me there when I first moved out here and we beat Turtles in Time on free-play.
Sounds the beginning of some April and Leonardo cosplay to me.
One of these days, I’ll prepare a “Double-N” ahead of time. Karnov is always catching me off guard!
Too many podcasts not enough time.
The fact that Adam says ‘pee-pee’ is pretty damn funny.

Great work, guys!
How have you resisted this?
I might have to go there. HB isn’t too far from me.
I need time to listen.
Subscribed.
Hmmm…I am a Nostalgic Nacho-Lover…
Thank you very much!
I think Desert owns nostalgia. He likes those old games and weepy JRPGs.
New show today? How come no guests?
I I like hearing guests on the show.
Bought the Earth Defense table. Not bad at all!
That’s a pretty good observation. Hopefully, I own destruction too, or at least rent it occasionally.
Desert and NOLA, please read this about Again.

Desert, why the DOA:P hate in review AND on the show?
