Twigg doesn't have any Mass Effect games?



As far as the conversations go in Deus Ex, there are certain areas when interrogating or negotiating with people that you can take different arcs trying to convince people to do what you want. For example, you can convince someone to give you some sensitive info if you choose the right set of dialog options. There is also an augmentation that allows you to classify each person into one of three different categories that will help you in these situations.

The Parasite Eve series is Resident Evil with an RPG twist, if you will. You have skills (spells) that you earn as you level up, and you can modify weapon or player attributes. I rented these games for the weekend a few times, and I loved them. Glad both are finally on PSN.

I've been listening to you guys for the last 3-4 weeks.


Good shit.

Will be downloading and listening once I get out of class. Always look forward to these each week.

The biggest and really only complaint I have before I start is the 2 hour time length. I actually listen to a bunch of movie podcasts and they all range from 40 mins to 1 hour. But never are they more than an hour long. When i see a 2 hour podcast , I go well I might as well just watch a movie instead. That is a long ass time to ask your audience. The podcasts I listen to have a host that usually does a good job of running the show and moving things along at a quick pace but never rushed. This show needs that. I love listening to podcasts but when I go to listen to one I think should I go with VSN or go with the movie podcasts where if I wanted I could listen to 3 in the sametime to listen to this.

This reminded me that I keep forgetting to shout you out. I'm an idiot. It won't happen again.

To each his own. My cousin actually says they are too short. LOL.

Also, it's not like you have to listen to it all in one sitting. Lord knows it usually takes me several trips back and forth tow work to get through one episode of the Giant Bombcast.

who really want to listen to a podcast in bits, that's like trying to watch a movie in three sittings; pointless.

Horrible analogy.

When I listen to a podcast, I'm usually doing other stuff too, and length isn't much of an issue to me because of that. I also occasionally pause/stop the podcast when I have to get up and do something else.

If I'm watching a movie, I do my best to eliminate distractions and make sure I have the time to see it from start to finish.

Pretty entertaining episode lol. And right when the question came up about other game characters who need a game, my first thought was Sully, so good work Twigg.

Agreed. I don't think listening to podcast is anything like watching a movie. I listen to them when I'm driving or something to listen to as I'm falling a sleep. Or when I'm fucking around on the computer.

But I think one of the best things about podcast is that you can listen to them for just a few minutes, stop and come back and pick it up later.

Just remembered...going back to that shit stain mcgee talk or whatever, one time I actually came across a gamertag in Halo: Reach that was poop stain shane. No joke. Probably the best tag I've seen to date.
