Episode 9: Fatslob or Need More Monkey Island
We start off going over the big releases. Followed by all the GTA news we could gather. Daniel compares Choose Your Own Adventure books to GTA. Some guy thinks he knows more about good games than Daniel and Bucky. XBox’s are the new Patch Adams. There are a slew of great games coming to the Nintendo DS! Daniel is over Spore, and all their lies and propaganda. Gamestop is the reason why Daniel will never be a millionaire. Diablo 3 Is Offical, not really but…maybe. We created a new bit for the podcast…listener email, thanks to TimTom for the first question.

I have a question. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.

That isn’t a question…but yes we probably should be
Am I the only one who has become extremely bored with GTA IV? All those reviewers might have jumped the gun declaring this to be the next coming. Thanks for nothing, jerkholes.

I don’t know, I don’t own it yet, but that was my problem with san andres, and ultimately with vice city as well. Although I enjoyed playing vice city a lot more than san andres.
The opened ended nature of the guy doesn’t drive you as much as say a Final Fantasy. It doesn’t surprise me that the review sites would over look this, since they are commissioned with playing through the game as quick as possible, not like an actual gamer, who takes there time over the course of a few weeks, or even months. That is why you should read our reviews, because they are usually months after the release, and give a delayed reaction instead of a knee jerk reaction.
That sucks though that it is boring already. The guys in my office seem to still be enjoying it…Bucky!?1?12312?!? any thoughts?
