Some notes:
The launch price of the Wii in the US was $249.

Doom podcast needs to happen.
"Series veteran Tim Timmins"...
When did this happen? I wanted to do a podcast now.

Yesterday at around this time. Oh well, hopefully next week then!
Ok.
Oooh that reminds me I have a headset now. So one of these days I want to try again, and see if I can set an ever lower record for least downloaded show.
I dont hate Witcher 2. 
What kind of topic is that.
Aspro podcasts with little boys and makes a joke about "69"... That's pretty much what to take away from the first few minutes of the show.
So is it fair to say Binary Domain takes the premise of Blade Runner (the director's cut), and applies it in a more violent and hardcore way?
Good review on Awesomenauts. I debated picking that one up since it is free on Plus. Seems like it might be dull for people who don't know what they're doing ( i.e. me). I may have to pass.
And nice editing job to keep Foolz out of a civil suit. Though really a lawsuit would be some great PR for the site.
Good observations on MMO's by Fool too. At least for the first 30 minutes he started talking about them. Makes me miss EverQuest.
Great job on the podcast guys. Really good one.

Ask Foolz, I just read the scripts.

I can see a love connection.

Thanks Robio. I have not seen Blade Runner (dodges thrown remotes and shoes), but the robot destruction and AI in the game is one of the best parts. The way they keep clawing at you in different ways depending on where they have been shot is so satisfying.
When I was editing I noted that 3 minutes into my 18 minute review of Saints Row: The Third I say, "...to cut to the chase". It was not intentional, but I think in the future I'll do convoluted reviews for select games. I don't think I actually got to the game until I was 13-14 minutes into my Klosterman-like rabbit hole dive.

Adam Sessler, G4 TV.
For the record I said he sucked someone off in a back alley to get his first job in TV. Do your worst Mr. Sessler, I'm sure you need money after parting ways with G4.
Blade Runner is definitely an influence, but it's more of a hodge podge of different sci fi takes on the theme, and is probably more influenced by Japanese musings on the idea.
It's certainly far better than Blade Runner, though. 
Almost finished Binary Domain.
Two things I forgot to say:
- SHEILD BASHING is in Binary Domain. Amazing. My favorite thing in all of gaming.
- Too many fucking bosses in this game. TOO many.
Just about anything is better than Blade Runner. . . seriously, it has got to be the worst "highly respected and influential" film i have ever seen.

Perhaps not the worst, but it's certainly up there with the worst.
On Awesomenauts: I think it's actually worth giving a go anyway. As you can probably tell by me not even remembering the name of the genre it's the first MOBA game I've played too. It's pretty easy to get into, and the match making usually puts you against equally matched players so you shouldn't be getting pwned too badly early on.
Oh one last thing to comment on. Binary Domain still seems to be at its full retsil price. Needless to say last night when I went shopping I left disappointed.

That's weird. Jamie picked it up for something like $20-$40 at retail soon after it launched if I remember correctly.
^Yeah I imported it from the UK and it was $15 for the game and $5 for shipping. : Hrrmmmmm.
