Kentuckybore should have their own podcast, it would give me something else to enjoy. Plus T234's pr0n shop experiences could probably take up an entire weekly podcast on their own.

That game was fun, so was Shadow Warrior. I wish more games today had their type of humor.

Post by: Eel O'Brian on May 07, 2010, 12:27:45 AM: I bought the RR collection off Good Old Games a while back, was disappointed that it didn't run well on my netbook (DOSbox wrapper had some issues)

We have a PC Hardware-centric episode in the pipeline Smooth, you're welcome to join us on that one (not sure when it will be)
Title: Re: Borecast 42: Folks Gettin' Cozy...With Themselves, Games Roundup
Post by: tehjaybo on May 07, 2010, 01:22:42 AM: Man, I remember RR, but I never played the full version. I always wanted to.

Also, there was some old Win 95 game that was some sort of mob game. You could extort different businesses, and once you owned them, you drew income from them, and could upgrade them to different illegal activity, like a speakeasy, and a brothel, and such.

I wanna say it was called something to do with crime, or mob, or something. I could never find the full version of that game. I always wanted to try it.

Post by: Bernard on May 07, 2010, 03:53:58 PM: Excellent Borecast! Very funny stuff. I wanted to add an opinion to the discussion of why small towns and communities are leary of letting porn stores in. In some cases, it may be a concern that a porn store could be a gateway for organized crime. Rather like letting gambling into a bowling alley. Perhaps, anyway. :o
Not that I think there's validity to that idea neccessarily. It's an opinion but not mine.

Post by: Ichirou on May 08, 2010, 09:48:27 AM: Okay, just finished listening to it. The porn store stuff was hilarious. :rofl

Eel is still my personal favorite part of the podcast (his voice just sounds so soothing...no homo...well, maybe a little :-*), and I really enjoy Prole and Frag talking about games. They're both great at articulating what exactly it is that they enjoy/get a kick out of the games they're discussing.

Prole's thoughts on Nier were interesting, I picked up a copy myself (the Japanese version works in English when you have your system settings to English), and am now looking forward to playing through it sooner rather than later.

I think the thing about Prole's reviews is, though, something he mentioned recently, which is that he's lucky to play through 10 hours of a game. I sometimes wonder if this makes him more tolerant of gameplay problems in a particular game (since he's not going to be playing it for a long time), or less (since he has less time to waste on gameplay issues).

I l busted out laughing so many times while in bed holy shit. If there was some podcast awards thing this would be my nomination, hell I've already sent this to a few people I know

Thor :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :bow

The best thing about Thor is that even while telling the most ridiculous stories, as everyone else is busting up laughing, he sounds so serious. He had me cracking up from beginning to end

"Pound my ass like we pounded the Japs in WWII" :lol
"I'm actually sitting here in my underpants, holding my pipe" :lol

Amazing.

I like Prole, at this point he sounds like a radio professional or some shit. Same with Eel actually.

I'm actually surprised you heard that. No one else mentioned it, so I thought I got away with it. :lol

I had a couple of friends over because I forgot we were recording the podcast that night, so they were playing Risk behind me. Pretty good game, though I don't remember who won.

You mean Frog?

J/K

Frag is awesome. His presence is essential to the success of the show. I love how you can actually feel him getting uncomfortable when Eel and Prole start delving into awkward subjects.

It seems to be in line with the lower budget games that you guys like to talk about. I haven't played it but I know it's got some nice PhysX effects and plenty of bugs. I don't think it's terrible enough to be part of the Se7en challenge though so Eel doesn't have to worry about that.
