Now I have to hear this...

MINECRAFT PLAYERS, get in here. They made fun of me while I was talking about Minecraft. I need backup!

It was completely warranted. You and your fellow players are raping the environment.

Just listened:

Aspro, you should have asked Robio how to make meth. Hrm

Speaking of Aspro: “Nintendo and Sony have already said they’re not going to be showing a new machine.” Your has revisionism failed for the first time.

Speaking of times, I think that was the 20th that we've explained the 360 contract on a podcast.

Speaking of explanations, should "Lastofus" be said without pause like "Festivus"?

Speaking of things requiring an explanation: "Microsoft’s strength is software and operating systems."?????

Speaking of operating systems, I'm not sure bullying Vader is a fair one. Sure he was bullied into giving it a high score, but that's not an excuse to bully him into admitting he wanted to give it a lower one.

Speaking of Vader, why were he and Robio saying DLC was fine, yet Aspro complaining? That's not how it's supposed to be!

Speaking of how it's supposed to be as long as they don't have a good lawyer it hardly matters that they're not the black dahlia killer.

Speaking of the horror of serial killers Minecraft sounds terrifying. I think those are my favourite impressions of yours on a podcast Vader, awesome storytelling.

Speaking of Vader, items, items, items, items, items.

Speaking of repetition, you'll pass up Darkness 2 at $10, yet get Game of Thrones?! Hrm

Speaking of Americans: nice Massachusetts pronunciation, Aspro. Seamless.

Speaking of seams, isn't Donkey Kong Country polygon based? Looks better than most "animated" 2D games. Monkey ball 20 years later?

Speaking of simians I think Robio might be surprised by the longevity that the mini-games (now the Yakuza mini-games suddenly make sense!) afforded Super Monkey Ball. People still play them when drunk.

Speaking of the podcast really great job all. I hope the podcasts I'm involved in are this good. Nyaa

king of segues, even in text.

I rarely listen to these if I am on them, but I went back to listen to our predictions.

We were such innocent wide-eyed optimists... it's so quaint.
