PojoMofo @ Apr 18th 2008 1:27PM
Im sorry but the guy that go the brush with fame sounds like a tool with no pulse
Guerrilla @ Apr 18th 2008 4:20PM
Hey now, I was caught a little off guard being at the office and all.
Guerrilla @ Apr 18th 2008 4:26PM
I will add this though - I haven't heard it yet, so I may very well sound like a tool. Then again I also dislike public speaking, so that was a little nerve wracking for me.
Christopher Grant @ Apr 18th 2008 6:14PM
Hey, settle down there PojoMofo. I bet if we called you up at your place of employ and asked you questions about cups intended to be used by pimps, you wouldn't be as loquacious as you think. Just sayin'
PojoMofo @ Apr 20th 2008 11:57AM
You guys are absolutely right, I certainly shouldnt have called you a tool, my apologizes.
I just would have been super-excited to talk to the "three amigos", but given the circumstances I can certainly understand.
eric Strunk @ Apr 18th 2008 2:06PM
Ludwig,
What? you have a clock with an extra second in it? (00:00) or that would be 2 extra seconds, a.m. and p.m. if you go by non-military time!!! That's unpossible. Seriously . . . for some strange reason, the fact that you said you have a clock like that is making my mind explode.
Alexxxxx @ Apr 18th 2008 2:13PM
who's who?
eric Strunk @ Apr 18th 2008 2:17PM
L to R
Chris, Ludwig and Justin

You guys look different than what I pictured in my mind. Ludwig, I thought you were black. I guess I just assumed that because you live in Africa..
Korova @ Apr 19th 2008 12:48PM
He is black. Its just that he is in the sun a lot, running away from cheetahs and what not, and as you know black people suntan in reverse - they become pale.
Tim The Enchanter @ Apr 19th 2008 2:40PM
Acording to the picture, he's both black AND white.
Sir Fidlious Wong (Zeon Defense Force) @ Apr 18th 2008 2:28PM
Crisis Core talk....
Your "interesting" buff to Materia Fusion is based upon if you fuse leveled up Materia, from what I've noticed.
But keep in mind, this is a guy who's bred HP++ Lv 1 with a 320% buff and an MP+ lv4 with a 130% buff. I finally found the item which removes the HP cap of 9999. So I'm basically lv 42, with an HP limit of 26000... which is buffed by Summon usage so right now, I'm at 37000 HP....
Yeah... you do the missions you ARE a god.
ScottG13 @ Apr 18th 2008 3:24PM
Armada as a dual stick shooter would be awesome on XBLA.
Mark Wilson @ Apr 18th 2008 3:45PM
wow i cant believe my picture got up here, my life is now complete.
PojoMofo @ Apr 21st 2008 10:15AM
That is your handywork Mark??? Keep up the good work my friend. A Justin head on Hannah Montana should be next on your list
ScottG13 @ Apr 18th 2008 3:59PM
I actually played my Bruh-bruh-bruh Brush With Fame for some of my co-workers. They found it hilarious. I need to figure out a way to get it on my phone as a ringtone.
RobLink (MKWii code : 0989 1866 6646) @ Apr 18th 2008 5:12PM
XBLA DC game - Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles.
That's right, I went there.
THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Apr 19th 2008 12:17AM
Spawn. Yup Spawn. Had fun playing it with my only other spawn fanboy friend. (sigh the spawn animated series on hbo was so good, too bad the comic stinks now.)
RobLink (MKWii code : 0989 1866 6646) @ Apr 19th 2008 8:00AM
I never played it, but I remember a buddy saying it was good. Do I remember it being a fighting game? Or was that something else?
THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Apr 21st 2008 3:54PM
button masher/boss marathon simple but fun. Capcom did it.
THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Apr 19th 2008 12:19AM
For our next photo shop adventure may I suggest, Chris as Capt. Jack Harkness, Ludwig as the 10th doctor, and Justin as Rose...
RobLink (MKWii code : 0989 1866 6646) @ Apr 19th 2008 7:58AM
For Ludwig:

This is a PC golf game coming soon, made by Sega, starring the Sonic cast. You don't play AS them, but they're there. I believe they're your caddies - it's in this month's GamesTM, but I can't be bothered to go find it. Enjoy!

too bad he didn't incorporate a giant boner in with the "there's my steed" referance. then again, it might be better without the giant boner... :)
Ronshatmycarl @ Apr 20th 2008 2:57PM
I thought there were three giant boners on there, kdding, kidding. or I guess as the kids say lolololol jk rofl
Ronshatmycarl @ Apr 20th 2008 2:55PM
The "every Zombie has a brain stem" line was pure gold. Almost as good as sipping coffee. However, Ludwig was very disappointing in this episode. He didn't realize that the correct answer to the golf question was, "Yes I play golf in real life and I play as Tiger Woods." Also no terrible pun in this episode. I expect better.
Jerk Face @ Apr 21st 2008 9:04PM
Anyone else unable to download the podcast on iTunes?
*sniffle*
Kevin @ Apr 22nd 2008 1:04PM
Chu Chu Rocket on XBLA or WiiWare.
Or PowerStone 2 (XBLA only...).
LiK @ Apr 23rd 2008 4:18PM
