Yea they are boring if you're not participating in them, dont know(about) any of the competitors or dont understand the game. Also, did you even watch the sf4 finals between Justin Wong and Daigo?

I didnt say Mike was claiming to be the biggest sf fan. It did sound like Mike wanted to make an effort at becoming good at the game which means he should probably understand the proper terminology and maybe kno who the top players are, i kno ive learned a thing or two from watching top players compete.

I gotcha, and my intention was never to berate Mike.

Im new to this podcast and I really like it!=D

I checked out a few old episodes and think they are great its great to listen to video game talk also it was cool to hear classy man talk more about video games =D

Ill be checking this show every while ehen it comes out

Add one more tally for Capt'n to change his name

dont know if you go with this anymore Mike, but this is highly appropriate:

The End of a Decade in Games, the Best of the 2000's era.

Shouldn't this be in the topic suggestion topic? I agree, this should be the next topic, at least sometime soon

You forgot about Samus having appearances in both Super Mario RPG: Legend of the 7 Stars and Kirby Super Star both on the Super Nintendo

Tom,

To tell you the truth, the controller wasn't the big problem I had with the Gamecube.

Now, I owned a Gamecube (aswell as all other nintendo mainstay consoles...Gba, nintendo, SNES, etc), aswell as the Playstation from tip to tale (ps1 - 3). The only console which collected dust after a year of playing was my Gamecube. The issue I had with it was the style of games which I rented/bought. The games, to me, were far too child oriented. They were fun pick-up-and-play games for what they were worth, in a time when every other game from playstation/xbox had to be epic...but to me the style of games were a step back from the maturity of the Playtation, xbox or even the N64 titles. I think the issue is, as the AVGN once commented on, that I relate what is 'cool' to be what is mature and I feel the games were not for a mature audience. This is probably the reason that Nintendo made the system so 'indestructable'...to handle young children beating the crap out of them.

Some games may have been great, but the ones that I recall renting (such as windwaker) fell far short of what I was looking for (in light of Orcina of time in the case of Zelda), and I honestly felt immature for renting them when I did.

I also disagree that the Wii is inferior to the Gamecube. The Wii, to me, is simply unrealised due to the majority of 3rd party developers that fail to truely ascertain the potential of motion control properly. They treat motion control like most movies treat 3d...only an aspect of the movie to blatently showcase the novelty, rather than enhance the movie. Same idea for most Wii titles I have played. However; Some games are real gold, especially when playing with younger players (neices, nefew's, etc), the G.F and/or when Nintendo develops the game. They too fall victim of not ascertaining the potential of motion control however. Ei: Mario Baseball.

And that's my two cents.

One last point though, the website looks good. I don't mind it. But please make sure that it stay's less complicated and quicker than your competitor sites. I have a real problem with the new Screwattack page due to how it functions (trying to do too much, over complecation and massive lag), and will rarely even look on the page due to this. Less in this case is much more. Thanks

My god,you really weren't kiddin' . To tell you the truth i thought you exagerated a bit but seems i was wrong.Thanks very much.But i missed the bid.Oh well, i'll keep an eye out on ebay

I went back to screwatack and saw the top10 you and Craig did for the best NGC games and i think those games are my first and buys (when i get the console).
Recommend some good RPGs and first/third person action games

So does this thread get used anymore?

I sincerely hope to see it used more

we'd use it more if you and tom actually read it. people comment on a somewhat regular basis but you and tom haven't used the thread for months, whats the point if you two never read it

I will say that Twisted Metal 3 and 4 were god awful.


around the 3 minute mark sums it all up.

I do my best to keep up with it
If I see my regular postings in here, I'll absolutely keep it on subscribed threads so I can keep on top of it

On the racing game topic I really think Blur needs a lot more love. It is by far my favorite online game at the moment. It's so much fun to play and actually requires a fair amount of strategy to make it in the top 3 of a 20 car race. Mike, I'm pissed you got it on PS3 because we could be destroying cars together!

Hey Mike not sure if this will deter you from buying the God of War Pandora's box SE but the making of and soundtrack are digital download only. The only things in the box are the game and the art book.

Mike just once thing I think you should stop mentioning screw attack on the Prototype I just find it disrespectful and awkward. Other then that great show I listen every week and tom is awesomeeee
