  1. RidetheLightening

    What happened to 3-9?!?!

  2. A weekend podcast. Maybe you should change to the name to Weekend Confir…

    Nah, that’s been done.

  3. A bit on the short side this week….

  4. JessicaSimpsonisHavingmyBaby

    Promoting Gundemonium Collection seems a bit slimy. Otherwise intersted in theis Pennyman guy.

  5. Pennyman should fill in the fourth seat. Why don’t you guys have a fourth person on the podcast?

  6. Shakes the Clown

    Desert seems to be hogging up the show. I mean I like his impressions, but give the others guys a change to speak, why doncha?

  7. Thanks guys, I’ll listen while getting my DQ9 today. Too bas the DSI doesn’t do custom soundtracks in games 😉

  8. Give me Etrian Odyssey III or give me Superman 64 (worse than death)

  9. Ristar was Sonic Team not Konami, Deagle.

  10. Mailbag question sent.

  11. Whats the outro music from?

    “Next I’m going to have stunts”?!?!

  12. Pennyman can’t beat level 5 of Robotron? Shocking revelation!

  13. Mystic Defender

    It’s not really. Adam didn’t endorse it or anything.

  14. Best part of the show was Pennyman saying Deagle pen remark was a bad joke.

    How would he like it if he got stabbed in the eye. It’s not a joke, son.

  15. Apocalypse Now reference from Deagle. How shocking?

  16. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDK9MDklzFo

    1:15 is what he’s talking about.

  17. Good show so far, guys.

  18. I’ll be listening on Monday.

  19. Cool guest this week. I’ll watch a few episodes of his show.

  20. Why no Haily Bright on the show?!?!

  21. Bring the Bangaio love next week, please!

  22. He’s cool. He always brings the what you been playing part to life.

  23. Yep, you guys should really consider it. BTW, I’m available if you need me.

  24. When are we going to get a XG Blast! review?

  25. How can I get a copy of 3-9?

    So far so good. I just wish the podcast was released during the week.

  26. Rocks on the Scotch

    Great show this week. Some pretty funny moments my favorite being “nibble on her nabia”

  27. Sorry Adam sound tired after Comic-Com. I hope you got PIZZAYED.

    BTW- do you get a percentage of the RA profits?

  28. Stretch Armstrong

    You guys I have a question for you, maybe you can answer:

    My Gamestop converted some of their new games to used. Why would they do this if new games sell for more? Wouldn’t they just be losing money? What do you think?

  29. Have you played the game lately? It’s hard!

  30. Good show this week. You guys are getting better each and every week.

  31. How come the show notes are just the title?

  32. Awesome show this week.

  33. Maybe there is no 3-9. I think they jump after 3-8.

    Although Adam did say 40 episodes.

  34. I think Kazuhiko Ishida is the connection.

  35. I’ll listen first thing Monday.

  36. Congrats on making it halfway through the game without using warp pipes.

  37. the artwork is a little weak, but the show is good. The intro song is pretty loud compared to TideGear’s first part.

  38. It’s my first time hearing about Pennyman. He seems to work well with you guys and helped to make this show one of my favorites.

  39. Deagle, some of the HD space is reserved for game to use. The PS3 sets aside the fastest accessible part, I’ve heard.

    How do you like the PS3 Slim?

  40. Ultimato Rickman

    Adding the DVD to my wish list. How about a giveaway guys?!?

  41. Some good trivia this time around, especially the last question! HAHA, good one stumping Pennyman.

  42. Yeah, NOLA’s back.

  43. I must have missed the explicit part of the show 😉

  44. Pennyman’s a natural fit with “youse guys”.

  45. Your wish is granted!

  46. It’s super quiet, and has room for all my PSP downloadable titles which is cool. The downside is I lost backwards compatibility, now I have to buy another system for all my PS2 library. Damn you, Sony!

  47. Electric Relaxation

    Great show. I might have to drop an iTunes comment.

  48. I will add you to the list of “NOLA’s favorite people” if you do.

  49. All of this week’s music came from the Capcom Lover’s Arcade Collection. The tracks were:
    Wolverine’s Theme (X-Men: Children of the Atom)
    Ken’s Theme (Super Street Fighter II)
    Spider-Man’s Theme (Marvel Super Heroes)

  50. That one’s actually my fault – I got a little behind because of SIGGRAPH, so I skipped 3-9 and edited 4-0 to keep us from being behind. If you subscribe on iTunes, 3-9 will maaaaaagically show up soon.

  51. Thanks NOLA!

  52. Right now, our setup doesn’t really gel with 4 people. It worked with Pennyman because he has some top-of-the-line equipment, but when we have tried with others in the past, it has almost always been disastrous. You may have noticed that one of us usually drops out when we have an interview – that’s to protect the audio fidelity. Maybe someday, but not today.

  53. Pennyman, 4th Seat. Make it happen!

  54. I bet Deagle’s not on the list.

  55. Awesome selection right there!

  56. It is more a bandwidth issue or equipment issue? Do you guys record in the same room or online?

  57. Got to listen today. Good show.

  58. Pennyman didn’t sound as enthusiastic as he is on his own show.

  59. I have a question for the show-

    Why do each of you “game”? What is it about video games that keeps out attention and makes us want to play?

  60. Great episode. Loved the trivia this week.

  61. The podcast seemed to download (from the site) quicker. Did you guys improve the servers?

  62. Your Drunk Ex-Boyfriend

    Speaking of Robert Bowling? Does he still work for IW? Is IW still around?

  63. Maybe you guys should put a donate button on the site. They don’t call him Pennyman for nothing.

  64. First time listener and now a subscriber!

  65. really useful info, keep up the good work!
