Everyone who complains about a game being too short usually go through it as quickly as possible and then say that is the official length.

I mean I remember seeing people saying they beat Assassin’s Creed 2 in less then 10 hours.

It took me 22 hours. Don’t know why they feel the need to rush when they don’t have to write a review.

When you say 100% are you talking trophies/achievements? And are you using all the fortune cookies for hints? Also what difficulty?

To me it feels like all the people complaining about the length are just burning through it as quick as possible.

Myself, I go through most of the dialogue trees, because even if 70% of the humour is pure corn, the remaining 30% is pure monty python style gold. I don’t clear out all the sidequests in each local area either, I like walking around, and maybe next time I’m in the area I’dd do a quest for someone. Anyway I think I’m at 8 hours now and I still have 3 orphans.

Yeah, my Sister used to be a big mosher/heckler at Tool concerts. Then she had a hip replacement and had to retire.

But can someone tell me why the fuck we would have a 20 minute long Tool discussion, and then go to break with any music clip THAT WAS NOT FUCkING TOOL?

Warning DeathSpank is way shorter than you guys are anticipating. Took 5 and a Half Hours to beat 100 and reach level 20. They start making a ton of pieces of land with not much in it, so the map seems larger, and almost 1 third is taken up by water.

Cool podcast. Every time I hear your loveline letters it makes laugh. Also makes me happy I’m already married. Just a couple comments… funny that neither have to do with what you guys are best at – games.

1) Your music choice between segments is surprisingly terrible. It’s almost like you have a big box on one side marked “frat-rock-cds” and on the other side a box of “emo-fucktard-cds” and you are trading off. How about some variety? Ginuwine rules!

2) A few podcasts ago someone even mentioned the Deftones (great) but the White Pony album? Seriously? You fuck to the White Pony album? White Pony is to music what Michael Vick is to dogs. Best part of that album? All 40 seconds of Maynard. Which brings me to…

3) Tool shows. I just saw Tool in SFO a few weeks ago and I was having the other side of the conversation. That people in SFO have an entitlement rarely seen at metal shows. I didn’t care for the opening acts so naturally I waited in the back and when Tool came on, made my way past the “hey, go around” and “not here asshole” comments and finally made it to the front. If you don’t like getting pushed I’ll tell you what I tell all the girlfriends that complain up front… Stay out of the pit.

That said, you guys kick ass. Keep up the good work.

Well, I’ve never heard Arthur talk about a shmup on the podcast, most certainly not about recent games by Cave like e.g. Mushihime-sama futari, so I’d take his opinion on Deathsmiles with a huge grain of salt.

Picked up Darkstar One for $5 on gog on the recent sale. Pretty decent game. Kinda a downer how every planet system looks really similar. Kinda missing the point ya think?

Also dug up my old copy of ev nova. Good shit =P

Thanks for the great show and guests as usual. Should the show ever need a name change, you might as well call it “Weekend Complete”.

Also, I blame your podcast for motivating me to do crazy stuff. Last year, it was a half-marathon. This year, NaNoWriMo. Thanks heaps.

Prince of Persia has definitely great graphics and storyline. Jake is also the best actor for this movie..-:

Good lord, the roguelike + Demon’s Souls comparison was just god awful. Shows that you guys didn’t even get past 1-1 in DS if your complaint is that “you start over and grind the same shit over and over”. No, you don’t. Once you get past the first level of the first world, 1-1, you are free to choose between 5 different worlds at any time you want. Also, reaching the half-point in every level grants you a “shortcut” if you die. One of the many things that makes Demon’s Souls not at all as hard as people make it out to be. Also, there’s the whole “I am always connected and surrounded by people everywhere that I can invite to my game and who are giving me hints”-aspect in DS that is nowhere to be found in a roguelike.

We get it. You guys hate DS and like to talk about how you hate DS. That is fine, but whenever you try talking about it you sound very uninformed, immature and irrational with your reasons to why you don’t like it. It’s a shame since you are normally NONE of these things when talking about other games.

As mentioned before, it would be nice if you would bring on Kat Bailey if you want to talk about Demon’s Souls so badly. At least then you will have someone who knows what they are talking about and got past 1-1. Honestly, I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t be hating at it with the same confidence if she was on the podcast. Because then there’s someone there to call you out on your bullshit and not just pat you on the back.

Beat Red Dead Redemption over the weekend finally. It has dethroned Mass Effect 2 for my GOTY (thus far). And the end…wow. Talk about an original way to end a game. Best open world Rock Star game to date. Bring on the DLC!!!

Interesting. Too bad black metal doesn’t utilize “cookie monster” vocals. Way to distill a genre down to one stereotyped generalization though.

I got the game and it seems alright if it were a $10 downloadable alas it is not. I will buy just about any bullet hell shmup that seems half way viable thought–creepy manga sexy babies or not.

Good episode again,
And as a German I have no other option than suggest some awesome board games. If you wanna go easy for the start, buy carcassonne. It is easy to grasp and you don’t need 15 hours to set it up. Basically you are building a map and get points for every structure you complete.(And by the way, the iPhone version has the best asynchronous multiplayer implementation I have ever seen.) If you want something strategic get Torres. In this game everybody builds a castle within a confined area and you want to get as may points as possible. But the twist is that the points are derived from the footprint times the stories the token sits on. But play that with somebody who has a similar strategic skill or you’ll get the chess effect and somebody will hate it.

Oh, and I want to send my regards to my fellow PhD candidate. I know exactly what you are talking about. I am writing up as well. Hopefully you can write it in you first language at least. I have to use this hideous one. And the scots around me don’t help in improving my language skills, aye?
Cheers
Jensemann

You guys forgot Captain Impostor, the third Captain game. It wasn’t particularly fun, so I understand forgetting it.
