Title: The Borecast Episode 8: Protest Skunky Beer, Win Killzone 2
Post by: Eel O'Brian on April 27, 2009, 09:58:57 AM
PC gaming guru Bob (Fragamemnon) joins us again for this episode as we hold a rally for wacky protestors, present the Beer Yin to balance the Wine Yang of last episode, give away a copy of Killzone 2, and let a giant robot pee oil all over Doug.

Direct download link - http://media.libsyn.com/media/borecast/Borecast8.mp3

Segment One: So, This Donkey And This Elephant Walk Into A Tea Bar...

No matter what side of the political spectrum you're on, there's always plenty to laugh at when it comes to stupid protestors. We take a look at why modern protests never work, how the babbling of the lunatic fringe drowns out the voices of reason, and offer up some of our listener's (as well as our own) wild-eyed encounters with the void.

Segment Two: Overtime At Shotz Brewery

(35:22) We present some suggestions for "anytime" beer and beer/food pairings, talk about first experiences with the beverage, list the worst brews we've ever washed down our gullets, and spin a few tales of wretched excess.

Segment Three: Win Killzone 2, The Borecast Playlist...also, Robot Urine

(1:16:38) WIN KILLZONE 2 - We're giving away a copy of PS3 favorite KZ2, listen for the simple entry rules.

BORECAST PLAYLIST - This episode we talk about recent (and not-so-recent) games we've been playing, offering up our recommendations and warnings - future installments will include Books, Movies, Music, Tech Gadgets, etc.

Games discussed this segment: The Dark Spire (Nintendo DS), Sacred 2 (PC), Fallout 3: The Pitt (PC), Left 4 Dead Survival Mode (PC), Battlefield Heroes (PC), Battleforge (PC), Elven Legacy (PC)

INDEFENSIBLE - Bob drops a load of Michael Bay and a squirt of LaBeouf on top of unsuspecting Doug in this installment.

The winner of the Killzone 2 contest will be announced on the next episode (May 11th). See you then!

Man, I forgot to mention Schaefer during the beer segment.  That's some genuinely wretched brew.

Prole did.   I actually forgot to mention a lot of pee-beer I've had over the years.  It's funny how your memory blanks at times like that.

I haven't listened yet.  But I've got to pimp my favorite beer--Hitachino's White Ale.  It's a Japanese beer and fairly hard to find, even in NYC, where I live.  I wonder if Frag has tried it.

I figured since you haven't been around the board much you must have a lot going on, so I didn't bother you.  No sweat, man, it's not a job or anything, it's all just for fun.  Do one whenever you feel like it, don't ever feel like you have to do it out of obligation.

Just make sure you give it a shot on Veteran difficulty. It might make you swear more over the controls, but you will get more out of the enemy encounters.

I like how you keep calling beer, lager  :-* Lager is so default amongst beers, that I always forget it's a perticular kind.

Pet peeve about Britain and beers: they drink lager with no foam. Fail. For ales it makes sense, but not for lagers.

Corona is no girls beer, its a summer beer.
it's called head :teehee

I'd like Doug to really go for it in the next Indefensible. Now it's a lot of "geez guys", "uuhhhm", "oh boy".
I think it would be more interesting if he would act like he really liked it and goes all out, making the listener doubt if he's lost his mind or if the challenge backfired and somebody picked something he actually likes. Lie more!

I'm kinda on the fence if I'll keep listening, I mostly listened to this one out of some kind of loyalty. Maybe the 2 hours is too much for me.

New podcasts go up every other Monday, unless something comes up (in which case I will make a post about it on our site).  So, Monday the 11th, probably around noon Eastern Time.

No question this week, sorry.  Everyone's schedules are a little hectic right now, so we're going for a streamlined show.  No Se7en Challenge, either.  Both will return for the May 25th show.

My worst hangover ever was from The Beast, it kept me from getting shit faced ever since... fuck that stuff. Only reason I drank it was because it was in the kegs at this college party we went too, I saw a couple beer bongs in the sink, cleaned them out and challenged everyone that walked by. It was the only way I could drink it. :P I think I did it about 8 times.

I ended up puking all over a friends car in the parking lot of McDonalds. :P horrible horrible moment for me. NEVER AGAIN! I wont drink if they are serving the beast.

Also before the party I was drinking Bells Oberon and had a couple shots of Grey Goose. So yeah... ugh. Horrible hangover.
