Jane? omg
um itunes link didnt work 4 me. wondering if anyone else is having problems downloading this
Worked for me. iTunes is wonky.
Streaming the show to my phone! Going to listen to it during a RE5-session.
Keep up the splendid work with the best game-related podcast out there.
Btw, when is the next Game club coming up?
/
A listener from Sweden
Tomas – Game Club is going up Wednesday/Thursday, check the other post.
And is anyone else having a problem with Zune software not dling this episode? I’ll wait to see if it’ll be fixed tonight.
Wierd edit at 1:24….dont know if its on purpose
Hey, what band did Arthur go to see when he found Idiot Pilot? I was just interested cus they are from where I live.
Hey could someone give me Phil or Anthony’s PSN to join their killzone 2 clan?. I’ve been searching through the podcasts/comments here, but i cant seem to find it. Thanx in advance.
Just email them.
Anthony’s is Chufmoney
thank goodness, i haven’t finished fall part of bully yet, extra time is much appreciated!
good podcast… very well done..
BUT.. the girlies were ANNOYING… i know, not a very nice thing to say. sorry.. but i’m being honest here.
I actually really liked the change pace both Kathleen and Jane both give the show especially if it brings out more Chuf talking about his life.
poor anthony got ragged on so bad
but the beat down sticks thing was awsome
omg yeah!!!! they were kind of annoying!!! the only good girl in podcasts is Tine Sanchez
Don’t make me throw up. Tina single handedly destroys podcasts.
Hey! Now you’re gonna ma- *bleh*
…
*drip drip drip*
Yeeaah, I’ll be skipping the next podcast I see that has Kathleen Sanders on it. I despise sarcastic, arrogant and judgmental females belittling other peoples interests for their own amusement to no end. That bugs the shit out of me.
Plus towards the end of the show they both just devolved to school girl giggling at stupid jokes and more ragging on Anthony. I’ll pass on listening to that again, yikes.
How does she come off as any worse than Arthur, or any other myriad of strongly opinionated geeks on podcasts? I don’t think you get that these people are friends and *surprise* there are females who joke around as well and I highly doubt Anthony spent the night crying in his Jedi robe. I used to watch Kathleen all the time on 1up and to say that she’s “sarcastic, arrogant, and judgemental” is a real stretch. Apparently you haven’t heard the guys devolve into snorts and giggles, make repeated penis jokes, or harp on each other in the name of fun, or is it ok when they do it because they’re male?
Anyways, I thought Kathleen and Jade were funny and articulate and I prefer them endlessly to the repeated “uh”s and “I don’t know/never played that game” some people bring to podcasts. I know the Rebel FM guys expect a sad amount of misogyny in the comments but I had to reiterate that -some- of us actually like guests regardless of their sex and focus on their commentary instead. Great job everyone!
PS. Micheal P., I’d like you to see Anthony pork you in the butt with his fist. Or if Robert wants to come back on and flirt it up with the guys again I’m down for that too~
Thank you, you saved me from have to write one lengthy retort. You’ve restored my faith in humanity, but seriously that was the best show to date, I wish they could be permanent additions, or then again maybe their novelty lies in their rarety (you’d be hard press to hear jane or kathleen these days), eitherway I’d be more than willing to find out.
Looks like you missed the joke with Kathleen’s ragging. Did you notice she goofed on his star wars shit, then pulled out the most esoteric nerdy star wars quote possible? Do you get it now?
I’m very behind on catching up, but I enjoyed the podcast. There was maybe a bit too much flirting, but it was great to hear women that weren’t just “there” but were really “one of the guys”. I really think a lot of the teasing was because they were comfortable with the guys & they all know each other fairly well. Several of the sections had me laughing, and regardless if there was a lot of “omg, I didn’t know that” it made my day go better and was enjoyable. What else do you really expect out of a podcast?
Less talking to Kathleen and Jane and more porking them in the butt with Anthony’s Lightsaber and beat-up sticks while Philip describes it to all of us please.
Also, the music in this week’s show pretty much sucked. (sorry but it did)
You win the Tobias Bruckner award for most inappropriate comment!
But yeah I didn’t like the music either.
Tell your therapist about your issues with your mother. The sooner you work it out the better for all of us.
Hmm, seems that this episode was a dissapoint for a lot of you. And because of the women! >_<
This is the best episode so far off-topicast FTW!
Nope the best off-topic one was when Robert Ashley was on.
This episode was good, but nothing beats the Robert Ashley’s episode 8.
The song choice is amazing. Wow, I can be Sexual Too has one of the BEST videos I’ve ever seen.
I actually miss Kathleen from the 1up show. I admire the fact that she stands by her opinions and can mix it up with the guys. Tina’s j/k after every other comment, on the other hand,drives me crazy and has makes goodgrief unlistenable. It was a interesting show this week. B+
I thought Kathleen and Jane were great in this ep. Bring them back!
WOW I haven’t heard Kathleen or Jane since they left the 1up show. It was great to hear from them again. Makes me wish there was a video version of this show, or at least a flickr slideshow
Haven’t heard the episode yet, but I see Say Anything on the list of songs used…
I’m gonna guess that was a Pkoller pick, since he’s smart and likes Brand New, and they’re…”similar” to Say Anything…
Anyway, what I was getting at is that that’s a good pick, since their first album is incredible, but I wanna know whoever picked that song’s thoughts on their second album. Cause I think it’s teeeerrrrible (Mark McDonald impression).
Sorry, no sexism in this comment.
That was actually Anthony’s pick, but I am a huge Say Anything fan. They’re one of my fave bands. But I actually loved the second CD as well.
Whoops.
Jane and Kathleen are great guests. Both were instrumental in the development of The 1UP Show at one time or another. Also, they are like, totally awesome, and stuff.
Some of you guys must have some insecurity issues or something, because Kathleen was just playfully teasing Anthony (who, as someone who clearly wears his geekiness on his sleeve, probably didn’t mind). All in good fun.
In other news, it looks like I need to start playing Bully. I keep forgetting about it…
Kathleen, start talking…NAO!!!
5:08; cat/dog warfare! Kathleen, we love you!
Just picked up the Wii edition of Bully: Scholarship Edition. Yeah, yeah, I already have it for the PS2, but wanted to play through the extended edition for the GameClub. I am so sorry I couldn’t buy it from you guys through Amazon, but I picked it up at my blockbuster for 12.99, I couldn’t pass it up. I mean $13 from what I heard, it had good controls and some little extra side stuff that I hope I can take part in if we do go there with this game.
Another fun episode. I like that you guys mix serious with silly and relevant with random. Keep it up.
Damn…these women are mean. I bet they spend all their times at Peg Parties making dudes cry.
And they seriously can’t rag on Anthony for being a dork when they want to drop Gene Roddenberry’s wife’s name despite apparently having no clue what it is.
aww sweet, a new RebelFM (yeah yeah, I’m late to the party).
One thing, whats up with the rapidly changing file naming convention? The 1-7 and 9-10 were all Rebel_FM_-_Episode#_(date).mp3, but 8 was Rebel_FM_(date).mp3 . 11 was #_Rebel_FM_-_Episode_11_-_(date).mp3 and now 12 is RebelFM_-_Episode_#_-_(date).mp3 . I know it doesn’t make a bit of difference guys, I’m just bored and curious, but WTF? (sorry if you mention it in the show)
I am just guessing a different person is posting it?
sucks the KZ2 clan is full
Good song choice in the first break.
Why is it that I imagine the hand motion a jedi would use to rip his lover’s clothes off is jazz hands?
I loved this episode and literally laughed out loud quite a few times. Awesome job guys. One thing though, where are the pictures of the Jedi costume?
Great podcast, I think this is the best one. Right at “I have a thing for Dwarves” comment, I knew this was pure gold, fucking awesome guys.
When Twitpic is back up everyone can enjoy Anthony in his sexy Jedi glory.
http://twitpic.com/2e0i2
Anyone who knows anything about Jane and I knows that we were not making fun of Anthony at any point in this podcast. We adore him and it was lucky Arthur and Phil were around or this would’ve been an X-rated podcast for sure…
xxoo
Wise jedi pose. Awesome.
Great podcast as usual and hearing from Kathleen and Jane again was great, but please keep the alcohol consumption to a minimum. I can’t possibly presume how much you guys swilled, but it did sound like the crew, especially the ladies, were regressing to giggling by the end of the show. You guys aren’t 1up Yours/ListenUp, your livers can’t take it!
Just to be clear, Kathleen and Jane were the only two giggling. The rest of us rarely if ever drink and didn’t at all during this episode.
Excellent show. Arthur’s air of superiority was taken back a notch (Shane Bettenhausen plays the arrogant ass much better, you need a new role), and Phil let things play, making for great entertainment.
There are so many podcasts about games out there, and only a limited number of games to talk about each week, so all of the news and game description can become quite played. It is so much more entertaining to actually hear about all of the people rather than solely about the games. The two best episodes of Rebel FM are those where the guests were very unique and entertaining (Robert Ashley, Jane & Kathleen) and the discussion just goes wherever it is taken.
Jane, Kathleen, and Anthony discussing his high nerdiness factor was priceless. Damn you twitpic for being down, I can’t wait to see Kathleen’s pic.
You all definitely redeemed yourself from last week. I haven’t laughed out loud at work this many times for quite some time.
I don’t see a normal RSS feed for the podcast anymore. Please include one and also when the new game club feed starts. Not everybody likes itunes or other such progams.
Fuck yeah on the Star Wars tattoo ideas Anthony! Me and some of my friends have a couple Star Wars tattoos, I’m planning a half sleeve of it right now.
That was a pretty funny episode as I’m just imagining Anthony sitting there in his robes trying to have conversation.
Broken CSS is broken..
downloading podcast now, will listen in a few.
And of course, as soon as I type that code gets fixed.
The female voice was much appreciated for this go around. I demand moar of this or I will refuse to listen….
…That’s not entirely true because I have a huge man-crush on Phil…
…and Anthony…
…and who am I kidding, Arthur too.
Love you guys
I loved this weeks episode.
We need more Jane and Kathleen.
Why because they are awesome.
i love the song selection in this episode. Say Anything is a fantastic band.
Chuff check out this guy from my town, He’s homeless but he works as a fruit picker in the summer, haha. Search “Homage to Kelowna Jedi guy” on facebook and you’ll find a group dedicated to seeing him around town. He’s had stories done on him in our local paper a few times. Anyway he is ALWAYS dressed as a jedi, so badass.
hilarious podcast. i liked how you got off topic the whole time and talked about dog eating cat poop to talking about anthony wanting star wars tattoos. lol
Another great show. The chemistry between the Big 3 Rebelers has steadily gotten better. The off-topic stuff is really never off-topic, since we’re all geeks so who doesn’t like to here about geek stuff? Big thanks to Phil for mentioning The F-List. I can’t believe I didn’t provide a link.
Enjoy GDC you sons of bitches.
Man I wish I could edit out the crappiness of that post.
The girls were great, mostly because the Chuf nerd stories are the greatest and they force many of them to be told.
Also on the swearing thing, I am one of those describe and the Christian who doesn’t care for it. I also don’t normally complain about it either as I’m not going to force (as kinda mentioned) other people to act in a box as opposed to how they would normally. While you guys do get a bit crazy I feel you do typically swear “correctly” as it isn’t (usually) over the top or to EDGY. Also you are all pretty good at not swearing constantly because you are either not smart enough to have a decent vocabulary, get stuck in mid sentence, or are just to *insert fword here* to use words that actually fit or make proper sense.
Personally I would prefer no one swore but I also think that the concept or ‘bad’ words is rediculously foolish and stupid, but is something nearly all human cultures forces on its people and as such any people who are morally convicted in that area will have to deal with. Again, it’s my choice vs your choice and this is your podcast, so you get to make the rules.
All in all though, I think this might be my fav so far, even though everyone knows that Jedi always get their pathetic butts handed to them regularly by the Sith.
Best. Podcast. Ever.
Literally almost got me fired for laughing so much at work. I guess my boss hates happiness.
great show!
dog eating poop = great from the get-go.
i really enjoyed hearing kathleen and jane.
having them brought out a great, balanced mix of: news, humor, sarcasm, and history.
i have laughed out loud at the banter before, but never so hard and so often.
it has been said before, but there is some real chemistry developing here.
i look forward to this every week.
You guys ever planning on getting rid of Arthur and Anthony’s heads from the banner? How about other people writing for you? Or, writing something other than posting up podcasts and the like?
Anyway, the female presence was a nice change for this ep.
I find it funny they are giving Anthony crap about Star Wars and Warhammer, then go on to talk about their Warcraft and Age of Camelot characters.
Aside from the commentary about game journalism, I think I lost IQ points listening to this weeks podcast. NOT because of the guest appearances, but just the overall nonsense.
But regardless, thanks for taking the time to record. Looking forward to next week’s.
Need pics of Anthony in Jedi garb asap.
I heart Kathleen and Jade. I miss you and your foul mouthery, more podcast please.
Chuff is right by the way, any woman who can’t understand pure nerd need not apply.
Another great show. I can see Phil rubbing his temples furiously as the conversation goes off topic once again. At least Anthony showed some stones by not playing the guitar solely at Kathleen’s request.
And it’s a gentle teasing, people.
Anthony mentioned that some of the audience might be mad that there were women on the podcast; I, for one, loved hearing Kathleen on the podcast. She’s been funny and intelligent on every podcast I’ve heard her on, and I’d love to hear more of her. Also, the dynamic between Jane, Kathleen, and the eat-sleep-game staff made for one of the best podcasts yet. Please, try to get them on more.
Yup, this show was god damned awesome.
I enjoyed the Anthony heckling the most, because while it was good natured, it really reminded me of the terrible things I say to my good friends, and the constant ribbing my co-workers ‘enjoy’ in the workplace. Full Marks all round.
I have to wade in on star wars tattoos, and preface by saying I do not have any (star wars or otherwise), although I really respect Mr Cartoon. Anyway, I have a good mate with two film related tattoos, one of them star wars, and it actually looks damn cool.
The star wars one is plain black ink on the back of his neck, of the boba fett skull icon:
http://bobafett.com/manual/costume/guide/logos/skull.jpg
The other is one his right arm, and reads “In Tyler We Trust”.
Man, Anthony is so pussy-whipped.
There was some serious heavy-breathing in that podcast. Nose clearing FTW
I don’t think drinking should be allowed anymore…
Oh the Gizmondo. Such a hilariously complex web of misdirection and ineptitude. The GR Flowchart just shows it in a really funny way:
http://www.gamerevolution.com/images/feature/gizmondo/flow_chart.gif
Tell Kathleen that her former stalker says hi and misses her! The podcast was fun to listen to, but omg you guys turned into 4chan there at the end, lol.
Kathleen should have yelled “Falcon Punch!” when she hit Anthony.
I know this has nothing to do with this particular podcast, but I think another great Backlog game would Be Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath. I loved that game, but I never finished it.
Anthony got the dick chopped out of him. I wish to hear more of his MMO and Fan stories. Lot of feedback from the mics when people would yell into the mic.
Andrew Fitch was right about the dysfuntional persona most gamer girls have
Great episode all around. Having the ladies on provided an interesting dynamic. It would be nice to have them on more.
Cool I’m now a Philip Koller Alt. Oddly enough our game preferences do seem to mesh…
The presence of estrogen was intriguing, to say the least. I’m saddened that anything my main said will get drowned out by the liquor, but I was entertained. Thanks for giving me something to listen to while playing FFXII.
Anthony schooled a girl in Karate.
Punk bitch must have deserved it! =P
This episode had a pretty sleazy vibe to it. I felt like I was listening in on a couple of high school guys trying to get a couple girls drunk so that maybe they’d get lucky.
How do you know that isn’t what it was?
Awesome episode.
I’m a little surprised that nobody mentioned Yaddle, as it seemed Anthony has a lot of love for her.
And Big props on the star wars jedi robe.
Anyways. Keep up the good work.
Hey guys, I’m fairly new to the podcast (about 4 or 5?) but I really enjoyed this one. I will admit ‘women’ being in the podcast kinda surprised me. Not that I didn’t want that, just seemed very different from what the gaming… industry (?) seems to default to.
That’s not to say it wasn’t AWESOME. While some of it was super off topic, and I would have liked a LITTLE less ripping on Anthony (I know it was in fun, just was painful to listen to, felt bad for ya) it was very funny. If you guys come back I’m sure it would be SLIGHTLY less goofing off, slightly more on topic. It was great, you guys all make me laugh, and even more so this week with the girls. Thanks!
That, my friend, was flirting. A little Junior High level, but flirting none the less.
Awsome show guys!
Felt good hearing from Kathleen and Jane, mixed things up quite well. Oh, and considering how well Anthony’s jedi suit went over it’s too bad he couldn’t have also showed off his birthday suit!
i really enjoyed this weeks podcast having Kathleen and Jane on was refreshing… i vote for rd 2
listening while i type,
ant,
you better have gotten some play for getting into the jedi outfit!
The huge cut in the show at around 39 mins should be added to a massive cut file podcast where you take all your cut audio and mash it all together
I thought it was interesting that the subject was broached about homophobic behavior and Kathleen bringing up how quickly she had access to power to ban people due to this behavior while it became public that Microsoft was being sued due to sexual harassment relating to homophobic hazing.
Wheres the piccys of chuff$ in his Jedi garb?
Heehee,
You were right, gentlemen. People did get a wee bit upset about the ladies on the ‘cast. Funny to read those few opening comments, clearly from teenagers who have little experience with grown women. The podcast was similar to the Ashley Cast, nice off-topics, keep up the good work and good guest list. (I hope Anthony made it out alive that night, although it’s hard to enjoy drunk ladies if you are sober!)
“Excellent show. Arthur’s air of superiority was taken back a notch (Shane Bettenhausen plays the arrogant ass much better, you need a new role), and Phil let things play, making for great entertainment.”
I agree totally with this comment. This show should serve as a recipe for a good, solid Rebel FM podcast. 5 stars!
Its funny that you mentioned a “Daily Show for videogames” because I was listening to IGN’s To Catch An Editor podcast last week where they talked to Will Tuttle from Gamespy and he said that they were currently working on creating something along those lines in the near future.
the Daily Show for video games exists already… Its called Sarcastic Gamer… Check them out. they have a excellent podcast that fits nicely in my iPod along side RebelFM’s show.
God damn it!
This is in response to the topic about swearing you guys had in the last half hour of the show.
Do people have to swear? Fuck yeah they do! Swearing is absolutely necessary. I’m dead fucking serious. You know why? Because the more we swear, the more desensitized people will become to their stupid word phobia, and they’ll learn to be offended by things that actually cause harm in the world, such as homophobia, racism, infomercial pyramid schemes, faith healers, suicide bombers, and last but not least, remakes of movies that don’t need to be remade. People, THESE are things that are worthy of our time to take offense. Words are fucking words.
If you’re fucking offended but a fucking word, then that’s all the reason I need to use even more cuss words, because you need to be shown just how fucking stupid your fucking word phobia is.
Grow a dick and learn reserve your offense for things that actually fucking deserve it.
Love the podcast, guys.
Yeah, I’ve never really understood why certain practically meaningless words are considered taboo. And it’s not like people who swear can’t control themselves. We’re not dropping f-bombs in job interviews or anything. It’s all about context. And when you’re kicking back with your buds, it’s an acceptable context.
I consider the eating-while-podcasting to be a much more grievous breach of etiquette than swearing-while-podcasting.
Hilarious show, had me rolling at work!
Congrats on getting advertisements! Godfather 2, woo!
Don’t mind women on podcast, example, Tina Sanchez or Tiff Chow, but these two were plain annoying. Never liked Kathleen or that dumb mutt on 1Up, Cats rule.
You guys sound pretty stoned.
It’s true.
I think that while the girls did well, they were really mean. That said, I think Anthony took it like a champ. Good on Chufmoney for not giving a shit what Kathleen said and just being like “This is me”. That kind of reaction made him over-all sound better than they did, because he’s a bigger person and made them just sound like jerks.
Is Anthony religious? I didn’t really get it…
Kathleen was just being a typical FRIEND. FRIENDS tease each other. Get over it. If you wear a Star Wars robe you can expect people to tease. Besides Anthony talks about how he griefs people with Shawn Elliott all the time. Same type of thing. Its just humorous fun.
Men typically feel inferior when a smart and articulate woman like Kathleen speaks her mind. By the response of most comments, its seems like some people are sexists and might be scared of talking and hearing from a real woman.
sup gangstas You guys on the podcast should definetely playd jet set radio future for your next game. and you guys really need to stop publishing all ur games on DVD’s becuz my computer only can play games on floppy discs plz.
Halfway through this podcast, and I can’t stop laughing.
Hearing Jane and Kathleen again was like catching up with old friends, particularly the playful taunting of Anthony.
It was interesting, listening to the second segment to hear Jane talk about the decision to focus on personality….since that focus turned out to be such big reason why I’m now listening to this podcast.
Anthony, if I ever decide to get a sex change, I would totally go out with you. But I’m straight right now, so sorry…
You guys should really look into gettin Robert, Tyler, Jane, and Kathleen on full time (I know it’s not possible, but I can dream). Those were two of the most hilarious episodes. I also noticed a sharp decline in Animal Antics this week (do not want), but I was pleased to see it was filled with many off topic comments and Ephemeral (sp) Fantasias (do want).
Also, please look into the idea of having Seanbaby on the show (and announce it so people can ask oddball questions).
-DPS
Loved the ep.. That 1st game sounded a lot like some Kongregate I played before..Dont remember the name..
Finally got around to listening to this one. Awesome show. I thoroughly enjoyed the contributions by the ladies. Good stuff! The end was great and the Jedi stuff was really funny.
Damn that was an amazing show, the greatest since ryan o donell stopped appearing, I just wish they could come on again (Jane and Kathleen) or more regularly, whilst providing informed discussion they also made it light and funny anybody who fails to see that places to much stake in their podcasts. The essence of podcasts is there ability to entertain and what I got from that Podcast was natural entertainment i.e. people who are comfortable enough around each other that they aren’t afraid to express themselves and have fun doing so, or maybe it was the alcohol, eitherway it was a refreshing change to the stone-cold seriosness comparatively speaking of the other podcasts. It turns into friviluos jargon when they have nothing constructive to say that wasn’t even close to being the case and as a result was more like satire than jibberish.
I’d be interested in more discussion of online homophobia, if you could get someone knowledgeable about the subject to talk about it.
That whole deal with someone being banned for saying they are a lesbian on their Live profile really angered me because people say they have spouses or boyfriends/girlfriends pretty frequently on their tag and I do not see how that is any different.
Also hearing Kathleen talk about how getting people easily banned was a big perk for her got me thinking about how obnoxious it can be with an abusive moderator staff. Not to say that I assume Kathleen is banning people for non-banworthy things, but I do have memories (especially back in the day) for getting site banned for ridiculous things like not being agreeable to some mods newbie friend on a MUD or some such.
THIS SHOW WAS GREAT SUCCESS
There needs to be more discussion about Xbox Live’s policy as it concerns to stating sexual orientation. I assume they instituted those policies to protect those who lead “alternative lifestyles” from harassment. Is that fair? I assume if I talked about my girlfriend on Live, I wouldn’t get banned. Should I be?
Favorite episode so far. Sometimes you need a woman’s touch.
More Kathleen and Jane! <3
Twitter response:
Don’t even think about it! You’ll break our hearts and our minds! Discouragement happens to everyone, tuff it out Chuf and we will stick with you guys.
Best. Show. Ever.
Kathleen is completely hilarious! I loved every minute! Jane is really cool too! Please, more Kathleen and Jane!
I like how Jane pronounces Okami
Awesome show. Seems like the best ones are where your guests get things off topic.
I listened to this one late, but laughed out loud a boatload of times throughout. Beautiful stuff, jedi-nerdism and all.
Regarding the other comments (good or bad) on the guests Jane and Kathleen, I could care less what gender they are — it’s the chemistry between participants that counts, and these people have it in droves.
Hey guys, I was a bit upset with the way kathleen and jane was kinda beating up on Anthony. I thought this was about gaming, not what anthony does in his extremely cool time. Stay cool!
