Also if you were interested in what an irish-pirate pornstar sounds like we resolve that in community focus.

I meant outside of our regular Ask an Irish-Pirate Pornstar segment. Unless you are talking about Aarny LOL I don't doubt he is a pirate but self-published porn doesn't make a pornstar.

Well you've got him there I suppose.

The last 5 minutes gave me the best idea for a blog topic.

Yoda, as a note you need to pick up Bulletstorm and give it a try. I hate FPS and I loved this game. To add onto what Aspro said, the game rewards you for creatively killing your opponents. The "headshot" that is the primary way to kill enemies in every other FPS is out the door here. Headshots are boring. You know what's not though? Kicking an opponent across the screen, capturing him mid-air with your electric leash, pulling him back to you, and then shooting him in the groin with a suped up shotgun into a field of electric insects.... while you're drunk.

Seriously play it. Besides it's ridiculously hobo priced now. Gamefly just had a sale and it was $7.99 through them.

Mrs Aspro is playing it now. She started it and did not stop for three hours. I cannot even remember the last FPS she beat... probably Halo CE.

Another awesome podcast. Shooter dicussion was great.

Aspro, you didn't answer my being shot riddle from the previous impressions so I'm just going to come out and say it: you're wrong.

Well, you're actually right in that that is often the case when someone is shot, but you're wrong because often does not mean always. Being shot can result in instant excruciating, crippling pain. Going into shock and getting a hit of adrenalin is not guaranteed, nor is it always going to result in what you described anyway.

I bring it  up only because no one solved my wonderful riddle. Sad Fuck you guys.

BULLET points:

"6 days is a long time to finish a game."

LOL

"Gadgets perfected?"

That was what sucked so much about the game. The gadgets had so much potential to make up for the crap combat, but were so poorly implemented due to very restrictive, unimaginative and boring level design that didn't really take the gadgets into account.

"Where splinter cell fell down was the repetition."

Same problem for Arkham. WinkWink

VR missions were awesome.

"Arkham Asylum was a truly great game."

Ahem.

I Dream of Jeannie>>>>Shawshank Redemption. It would drastically improve the film if there were 30 minute interludes to take away from the extreme sentimentality and melodrama. Ugh.

“post-nose twitch”

Wrong show.

All the downloadable gamesI’ve played I’ve liked. All 2 of them. Actually from what I played of Braid it was boring and frustrating.

It's funny how Eminem went from making fun of pop singers to making songs with them. The joke is on him now.

Tourist Trophy is considered good, Aspro is wrong.

What part of Australia are you living in? Obviously not one with any sort of ethnic groups going around. The migrant's great contribution to Australia is strange combinations of swear words.

“You’re a dinosaur”

You have good taste.*

As for HL-2: they replace platform puzzles with walking around with nothing happening. And utterly abhorrant vehicle sections. Both games have so much filler. That’s why the Episodes are actually good, though they still managed to stick filler in Episode 2. Not sure how they managed that given that it's 7 hours long.

let him die at end of MGS4! YES THAT’S WHEN THE FUCKING ENDING SHOULD HAVE STOPPED. That really would have been perfect.

The OFLC change is on the 1st of January next year I think. It's funny that now it's finally gone through there's less coverage than all the false starts over the last few years got.

Best of 10? After I won the first 3 I wasn’t paying any attention at all, thus why I lost the last one by spinning out at the end. So my prediction for best of 10 would be 6-10. I'm Spain; I do just enough to win. Nyaa

It’s amazing that whenever you try to do Scottish you do Irish, and yet you can do a perfect Scottish accent completely by accent, though the porn brought out the Scottish in you. That's actually almost exactly how the Scottish character in Sam and Max sounds.

Thank you for listening Foolz. Yes, I was wrong about Tourist Trophy from Polyphony. Apparently it is a much appreciated motorcycle racing sim.

Yes, it was quite bad, I fell straight into Irish at first, even though I can do a canny Scotch.

"That was what sucked so much about the game. The gadgets had so much potential to make up for the crap combat, but were so poorly implemented due to very restrictive, unimaginative and boring level design that didn't really take the gadgets into account."

C'mon. COME ON!  One of the things Arkham does amazingly well is juggle all the various gadgets.  They are not only effective and creative but the interface to access them is practically intuitive.  I agree on the level design.  I guess we agree really now I read your statement again.

Also on the podcast you were both saying porn actor (as far as I can remember) so Aarny still qualifies.

Faking an orgasm in a solo scene is not acting.

That is acting. Not faking the orgasm would not be acting.

I dont like listening to podcasts cause I always ending up yelling at my iphone in the insane hopes that my voice will travel back in time to your podcast and allow me to interact with you guys. How come everytime I am not on you play awesome games but when I am on its like "I was playing Gormiti".

So Aspro you are one of the ones that like AA more than City, eh City is better simply cause how much there is to do in and outside the campaign. Better bosses and the story is better simply cause the ending.

It was an excellent podcast guys.
