Stuff that I forgot about because I had a busy two weeks after we actually recorded this show. But i do remember thinking it was a pretty decent show.
Apparently we invented SHFTS as in SH I FTS. GK tells us he did it first. Super Happy Fun Time Show pronounced SHIFTS or perhaps it was Bloodshot. It is a mystery for now.

We compare world dictators on the latest Dictatorcast. gk128 may or may not molest a potato.

New games, Kinect, new 360.

FmLuder leads a disussion about anticpating games and consoles. Which game are you most anticpating? What are some old memories of games that you really wanted to get your hands on?
And finally Binary667 brings to light the secret world of podio books. Some relevant audio book links are below.

Absolute Bolloks joins the team as our new offical fourth player. Binary667 steps in as a permanent member. Lots of big changes!
Binary discusses Super Street Fighter Four. He likes it and thinks that it is worth the money.
Absolute Bollocks tries to pin down when he actually became a hard core gamer. A discussion ensues where we decide hadcore is a terrible word to describe people who play games a lot.
FmLuder gets into WarioWare. Apparently it is a fantastic series and the new D.I.Y. game is just as fantastic as all the others.
Digital Firefly talk about his early experiences with the Star Craft 2 beta. He thought he was doing so well building up his base. And then he met the enemy!
FmLuder finally gets into Left 4 Dead 2. He takes a look at The Passing. a free DLC pack on the PC, and 560 points on the 360. The Passing brings back the team from the original Left 4 Dead. It turns out that the DLC is prety decent - and the game itself is pretty awesome!
gk128 brings his powerful command of the English language combined with some kind of mystical speaking in tongues to tell us all about a couple of movies we may or may not want to watch.
This show's intro/outro music is Electrodispenser by zircon from ocremix.org.
Three players with three topics. Digital Firefly talks about upcoming games that he wants to check out in the next two months. Firefly is also hopeful that we'll see Star Craft 2 very soon.
gk128 discusses Deadly premonition. It is bad but is is good but is is terrible but it is fun but it is stupid but it is engrossing...
FmLuder brings the topic of The Ballad of Gay Tony. It is recently out for the PC and PS3. Luder thinks it is great - crazy great. TBoGT is available on the recently released Grand Theft Auto - Episodes from Liberty City - available for 360, PC and PS3.
This week's intro/outro music is a remix of The Synapse (Hong Kong Streets) from Deus Ex. http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01914/
FmLuder, gk128 and Binary667 are on the show this week. Luder talks DLC Mass Effect 2: Kasumi - Stolen Memory. And he considers the high possibility that Kasumi Goto will probably make it into mass Effect 3 in a significant way.
Binary667 goes in a straight line and finds that he enjoys it. Linearity and games is the topic brought to the table by Binary.
gk128 discusses Mega Man 10. He is after something different in retro re-makes and Mega Man 10 is a bit of a let down.
Repackaged and reformatted. We bring you the New ThreePlayerGame. Three players, three topics. Each week we'll bring you three topics - maybe a news item, or a game, or just an idea.
This week we preview Red Dead Redemption. We discuss the terribleness of Clash of the Titans. And we look at the classic gamer's dilemma of just having to many games to choose from and not knowing which one to play.
FmLuder, Digital Firefly and gk128 are on this week's show.
This week's intro/outro music is "Burning Up", a remix from Dr. Mario by DJ Redlight from ocremix.org.
Binary667 and Hendrix join FmLuder on the show. Bad Company 2, Final Fantasy XIII and Dawn of War II are the main games that we played this week.
We get into the new live action trailer for Ghost Recon. The consensus is it is a pretty bad trailer, even though FmLuder was initially impressed.
Our topic for this week are the stories we create for ourselves within games. Hendrix and Binary both regale the audience with tales of hilarious helicopter hi-jinks.
What is up with this week's podcast? After multiple abortive starts the crew finally get to discussing games and Jon Stewart versus Glenn Beck. Well, GK and Luder talk politics and Firefly nods off. But never fear we don't get too political we just like to laugh.
Battlefield Bad Company 2 seems to be the staple of the gaming diet - at least two of the hosts seem to love that game. FmLuder who is the lone hold out fron BC2 has switched BioWare games and has jumped back into Drag Age but this time it is the new expansion, Awakening. Firefly is back to WoW and he watched a couple of movies, Drag Me to Hell and The Box. GK and Luder tried the Splinter Cell demo and were somewhat unimpressed.
Our topic of the week is all about value for money in games. How much time do you need to get out of a game to get value for money? Are RPGs different from FPS games when it comes to how much time you expect to be playing them?
Everything is a blur. At least it is a blur for gk128 and FmLuder because they downloaded and played the Blur beta. Digital Firefly was too busy finishing ME2 and Heavy Rain. At the start of the show we not only talk about Bizarre's new kart game with a PGR skin, but we also discuss FFXIII. Firefly also gets into his initial impressions of Bad Company 2. Turns out he has played it and he does like it.
We talk GDC and PlayStation Move. Is it just a black Wii with HD graphics? Nope, it has a camera! Totally different.
We also get into spoiling and discussing Mass Effect 2 and Heavy Rain. Don't worry we end the show before we get into the spoiler discussion.
Mass Effect 2 spoilers start at 1:27:00 Heavy Rain spoilers start at 1:55:50
Hendrix is our special guest this week. We get into developers we love to love and publishers we love to hate. This discussion all stemmed from the Infinity Ward versus Activision sensation that happened last week. We go in depth about fanboys and fanboyism. Hendrix admits he was a Sega fanboy when he was younger.
We take a long and critical look at whether or not gk128 is stalking a young girl at a local Gamestop. Of course, he claims that he is not. He claims that he has no photos of her. He claims that he doesn't even know here name. But we know he did go to the mall just to see her...and maybe do a few other things.
Talking about the games we've been playing FmLuder is still playing Mass Effect, but never fear for Hendrix and GK actually played new games.
Apparently FmLuder doesn't know what date it is. But neither does the PS3. Firefly is back, and gk128 and Luder are on as per usual. Pass/Play/Fail is a long one this month. Lots of good games in March...but does anyone want to play any of them? Listen and find out. We go in depth in our topic segment about the sequels we want and don't want. And we finally reveal who Binary667's secret admirer is. During the Pass/Play/Fail segment of the show it is mentioned that Supreme Commander 2 isn't coming out for the Xbox 360 - this is incorrect.
Maybe GK doesn't understand exactly where the fun is in relation to mullets. Or perhaps we are discussing something quite different. FmLuder, gk128, and our very own player four - Binary667 get together on TPG to discuss games and stuff about games. Digital Firefly is out and about moving furniture.
As usual we start off talking about the games we've been playing - but not before Luder brings up genitalia miscellanea again. - this time it is Krogan balls. And in stuff worth talking about we wonder who will have the bigger year - Sony or Microsoft. We pretty much decide it will be Nintendo.
In the second segment we get into the big topic for the day - Games we love and games we love to hate. We go to gaming hell by getting into which game genre we want to die, which character we want to commit suicide and which game mechanic we wish would just croak it.
Plus we go to gaming heaven and discuss all the things we love about games. The game genre we adore, the character we would give our left testicle for because we love them so much, and the game mechanic we can't live without.
It is still functional if I play with it for 20 minutes?
We have technical difficulties but still manage to bring you an awesome show. Special guest Alphabox tells us all why Dantes Inferno is a rental, and why building a PC may not be worth the effort. Alphabox, Digital Firefly, gk128 and FmLuder discuss Microsoft's X10 event and what they have been playing. Firelfy goes into depth about Blaster Master and Blaster Master Overdrive - almost makes you want to fire up the Wii.
Great show - but sans our Valentines Day special on SEX IN GAMES!!! Maybe later, I have got a headache!
