 Episode 30 - Capt'N [55:11m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Court’s out this week again, cause it’s his birthday.  Nerd.  Anyway, Brad and D.G. continue to represent what’s left of The Guys by reviewing Capt’n Eli’s Root beer.

Brad can’t seem to get over the apostrophe in Capt’N so much that they decided to name the entire episode “Capt’N.”  I’d like to point out that this never would have happened if Court was there.

I feel better now.

Check out Spore and make cool weird stuff such as:

Firefox 3.0 reaches 8 million downloads in one day!

D.G. also mentions a lot of other news articles from the only place he seems to be able to find news: Ars Technica.  I’m too lazy to find them all, so just go there and you can read all their news.  Chances are, there’ll be about seven stories from there on our next podcast, so you’ll be a step ahead.

Ironman and GTA IV both did very well
unlike Spiderman 3 vs. Halo 3
or Tomb Raider 2 (movie) vs. Tomb Raider 534 (video game) - both sucked!!
D.G. and Brad make up more words

GTA IV Review:

Brad’s Thoughts:
Wasn’t planning on playing the missions, but got into them
Liberty City is beautiful!
GTA IV has explict language - we mean really bad - 7 in 1 sentence bad
took acting quality to a new level in video games
rent with perhaps purchase (if price is right)

D.G.’s Thoughts:
Reminded him of the Dreamcast game, Shenmue (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shenmue)
Technical aspect of Liberty City is amazing
Can’t stand the game (open-endedness, meaningless tasks, and driving the cars)
Rockstar over-emphasizes controversial things in their games to make more money
rent it, if that… never buy

This week it’s just Brad and Court.  D.G. has left the building (actually he left the state, as well). So Brad and I talk about the top five Science Fiction universes we’d most like to live in.  Brad cheats.

To further illustrate the lack of quality since D.G. is not here, I will not be adding any pictures.  Bite me.
