The E3 ones?

Nintendo got 21 listens, the big one only 11.

Too much going on during the show for people to listen.  I think also by putting up the second one so fast it mskes the otjer one feel stale.

They were certainly our best event coverage, but I think next year we rethink how we do it.

Funny thing is beside giantbomb and eurogamer all the other podvasts did no special coverage and in some cases they didn't even do their regularly scheduled shows.

20 is fine for a show that dates itself the second we stop recording.

The way I see it if the local library said, "you want to be in a panel about video games? we're expecting 20 people." I'd turn up.

I'd do these podcasts if no one listened. <3

I'm really only ever disappointed when people here don't bother to listen, and I'm not really disappointed anyway.

I don't think there's any point in doing the coverage differently. It's just not going to have much appeal no matter how we do it (thus why no one has plagiarised our coverage on their podcasts; the big sites know what to steal) becuase you can't stick videos and pictures in the podcast. All the equivelent coverage (impressions and editorials) are bloated with videos and pictures of the games. The text is there to compliment the media. I've been watching videos while listening to the podcast just to see what you're talking about. LOL Most people won't want to do that, and obviously you've got to watch with the sound off unless you pause.

Excellent recap of everything that happened. Despite it being 2 hours it was actually quite succinct.

Stream of impressions.

“I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else”

Wow, next time try not to be so enthusiastic. LOL

“They want to show games, and nothing but games!”

Oh, to be young again.

“Bluetooth headsets”

We can Skype while PS3ing...with microphones and headphones.

“Penis.”

Gives a whole new meaning to The Iron Curtain. Boomtish.

Uroboros can drive trucks, why not fly helicopters too?

Tomb Raider, Ashley: young women are weak. Got it.

Also rofl at that idea then the actual gameplay with her being faster and more shooty than in the classic games. I think I hate this game as much as Hamster loves it.

Live actors? Back to the Tex Murphy days! How new and exciting.

Watch Dogs looks worse than GTAIV mods and has that Deus Ex sheen covering up crappy textures. Ehh. Hacking effect looks hideous and ruins the look of the game.  Game itself looks cool, though.

Vader must have done that cut out on purpose. Admit it.

...You were watching PC.

I have a 40GB PS3, stop complaining, Aspro.

“It all went on for way too long”

Almost busted out a rap there, Aspro.

Aspro has rich parents. I knew it!

“Impressive AI is people stupid enough to fall for stupid tricks”

No wonder you liked Sheva so much, Aspro!

The Last of Us reminds me so much of Eden: It’s An Endless World! Minus the rape, sci-fi, gore and anything else interesting such as completely pointless exclamation marks!

“Shot in the arm improves arm function.”

This is true. And yet it’s also not true. <-that is a riddle, can you solve it? Oh, and it’s also true.

Though I don’t think RG posted any of the E3 podcasts so you can replace “thank” with “fuck”. Nyaa

The intro was redone like 4 times so that was the fourth time I said that line, each time less enthusiastic than the last.

Ya slacker, I said something different each time!  I'm not even sure which one is in the show!

You said something like "what an original sentiment" in reply to Vader if that helps jog your memory. It also explains what you meant by it!

Step your game up, Vader!

I said that. Yoda fell back on his "I am batman".

Thanks for listening foolz. And my parents are not rich. Working poor while I was loosely in their 'care'.

I am glad you got to listen. I think the other hosts fid a wonderful job and it was just as nice to welcome Robio as it was to have Yoda back.

You all sound exactly the same so you can hardly blame me for making a mistake. I only got Vader right because I know that he hates the bullying he recieves on the podcast and thus his lack of enthusiasm.

They are not rich because when they were you bankrupted them by tricking them into buying you expensive computer equipment.

I haven't listened to the Nintendo one yet.
