Don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast
This one’s a little soggy still.
Great show, again, TZ guys.
Good job.
Hahaha great episode!
lovin the soda story
PSP go=wtf is sony smoking? its like if nintendo released the DSi but without a slot for DS games. what is the point of a system that can play only shittier downloadable games. any insight from all you sony investers?
Based on The Veronicas date, are you guys in Texas then? Anybody in Michigan want to go see them in Grand Rapids?
Loved the ’smackin’ it in the parking lot’ story, reminded me of my dad.
Great show! Laughed out loud a lot, especially with something stupid as transformers sounds. You should record more, Drac.
Yay! Drac is back!
microsoft quite impressive!
@Drac- i’d say the highlight was when the microsoft guy called metal gear solid “metal guild solid”
I bet Drac’s going to catch teh AIDS and die a slow, painful death.
So Pete, in order to get credit for your ideas- or a least prevent them from being stolen, have you considered recording yourself 24/7? You could probably get some serious pay for the ideas you come up with in casual conversation.
Make it a Tapezilla spin-off, maybe? Called…
“Petezilla”?
“Petapotamus”?
“Pete’s World”?
“Pete-o-rama”?
“Pete’s soul”?
?
Oh man Golden Sun DS…. that rad!
So whos gonna pony up 250 for the psp go?
I might… once I know its hackable.
Nah who am I kiddin, 250 for a handheld, no matter what carazy contraptions it has is too much.
Live TZ Twitter update at E3? I thought you guys were joking.
I’m kind of pissed that Valve made a Left4Dead2 when the first one still isn’t really complete.
Anyone else feel the same?
It does eem kind odd for valve..
The Fallout 3 DLC Point Lookout looks rad, that game just keeps on giving and giving.
I finally put my computer back together! one hardware replacement turned into several.. what a slippery slope. good to see the new show is up.
pete, is it good enough to kill little lamplight now?
actually, I think it just might be. I’ll look into it soon.
That was a really great show.
And pete you must be loooooving all the new motion control out of E3 huh? Hahahaha.
it’s utter nonsense. the future of gaming isn’t waving your arms around like an idiot anymore than VR was the future of everything in the mid 90’s.
what about that seaman copy, milo
The milo thing seems fucking creepy, I really dont want a relationship with a little boy, but I’m sure theres alot of creepy fucks who are very excited at the chance. And really when ever that molyneux fuck talks about shit I assume hes fucking wrong and will lead to a big let down, aka Fable, Fable 2, listening to him talk about those games you’d think its the greatest shit ever, but it really amounts to pressing the A button inbetween making fart and humping gestures or any other gesture you wanna do to people, cause apparently, just like real life relationships, confronting people with any gesture you want is the way to make them love you and interact with them. Fuck talking, its all crotch thrusts!
Also VR… Ive been thinking about it, who really wants to act out everything? If it gets to the point where to play a game I gotta move around and climb and jump, then fuck it. I play video games opposed to going outside and climbing mountains, because I’m fucking lazy. I play games cause I dont wanna do shit. VR is gonna make everything a fucking chore when to walk across town you literally have to walk, thats not emersive its a waste, if I wanna walk, I’ll go walk, for free.
Dont get me wrong I like some wand moving here and there but eh.
i think that 100 years down the road when the technology is actually there for VR it would be cool. natal really is just an iToy with a bit more sensitivity.
It the VR consists of sitting in a big tank of nourishing goo so you have full life support and sustenance and total immersion, I’m sold, anything less… no dice, well maybe some dice, but certainly not full dice.

To Drac and RJ
Did you mac on the Bayonetta girl?:
http://kotaku.com/5279220/bayonetta-girl-is-not-cosplay-she-is-art
it really is sad how much nintendo is being influenced by “casual-gamers”. i remember a time when real gamers would jizz in there pants for a new handheld or cartridge fed system. now their biggest announcement is a piece of shit that you clip onto your finger. then reggie and miyamoto argue that they still are satisfying core-gamers by announcing a mario spinoff every other year. fuck it boils my blood.
and couldnt they find a hotter chick for the bayonetta girl? she looks alright, but not as good as all the booth chicks or whatever at e3.
she looks alright, the problem is she’s dressed as a really, really, really unappealingly designed character. if you took this same female and did her up right, she’d look great.
I like how her rack is on display and what not, thats the key thing, the tightness helps, she does look like a huge bitch though. Just has a bitch look all over her face. Like you’d hang out with her and text her, but then realize shes an annoying slag. So you’d go through the motions and still talk to her and “do stuff” but it’d be half hearted and you’d cheat on her and then she’d be the freak that gets a mentally unstable rebound boy friend and they go around doing wonky shit like slashing tires.
I knew a girl like that, friend dated her, bi polar, those chicks are fuuuucking nuts.
you can tell all of that from a picture of her in costume, in character, posing for the camera? really?
Yeah, crazy bitch detection is my 6th sense.
is pete’s microphone getting progressively worse?
and ctuck, crazy bitches give the best blumpkins.
That maybe true, but its never worth it.
RJ just left my level real low compared to everyone else, he often does that, other than that the quality is no different.
just curious, do you have any stats on how many people listen to your show
Of course they do — there’s about 5 people, give or take.
@noby: “not enough”. Somewhere between Wonderful Ned’s approximation and 1 million. The problem is that I’m not sure I’d count all our listeners as “people”, per se.
Does anyone have a copy if Ico (with case and manual) they’d part with? I’d pay up to $30 shipped.
ICO’s not worth $30 — in fact, it’s worth $5, tops.
Bullshit. ICO is one of the best games of all time. STB, email me and I’ll send you a copy (unless you want to own it).
So Ive been playing Fallout 1 and that game is such a bitch its damn near unplayable.
@ctuck Man, Peter’s gonna eat you right up for talking noise about Fallout. OH MAN.
@ctuck
Fallout 2>=Fallout 3 > Fallout 1 > Fallout Tactics
.
Don’t waste your time with Fallout 1,
Fallout 2 is a thousand times better.
@STB
I love fallout what can I say, thing is… Fallout 1 really is unplayable. You start of with nothing you wander around like an idiot, any information you get costs fucking money, WHICH YOU CANT FUCKING GET!!! and everything you run into kills you, you are on a time limit, you cant ever buy anything unless you do stupid jobs, which most of the time you get killed. so you save pretty much every god damn step. You go to the town that has the shit you need and turns out everybody is dead and the super mutants control it, who also FUCKING KILL you, and its not just one guy, all the shit that kills you comes in huge groups, I was out with a caravan and like 12 radiers attacked, holy fuck. This is the most ridiculous game I’ve ever played.
I don’t know how anybody ever beats it honestly.
So I have like 60 days left to get the water chip and I have jack shit to show for all my time.
@MahatmaJondi
Do you have a hint of a chance with things in Fallout 2?
I know people love it cause its “hardcore” and doesnt “hold your hand” and what not, but good god, who actually really enjoys that? What kind of anal retentive nut job likes doing something over and over and over again before he even has a clue whats going on or what to do.
@ctuck
Things can be hard in Fallout 2 as well, don’t get me wrong,
But you can make money quickly by going out with caravans, running away while your teammates fight, and looting the corpses. Guns + Stims + Ammo + Cash+ Late 90’s pop culture references= Fun Times
Information doesn’t cost money, but 90% of the people don’t have anything important to say.
Although in 2 you are supposed to be helping your village by finding the GECK, you can wait years and all they do is become pissed off.
all in all, unlike Fallout 1, it’s more fun than frustrating.
It’s the closest to Fallout 3, so if you enjoyed that, go with 2
haha, you sound like a bitch, fallout isn’t overly hard.. you’re just a bitch at it.
the most fun times in those games are the early game when you don’t have shit… RPGs always get a bit boring when you become super powerful.
Yeah no, Fallout 1 isnt hard for any decent reasons its not hard because it takes any real strategy,its only hard cause you randomly get gang banged every other step you take, it was designed to have you save over and over again so you can go back to that save over and over again and eventually you luck out and start the whole process over.
Its the worst kind of grinding. RPGs are fun when theres a steady stream of progression, its not fun repeating the same shit over and over again, and people who call that a fun because its “challenging” (doing menial tasks endlessly isnt challenging) are fucking asshats.
No wonder people mod the fuck out of it.
