Like the rest of the media, we're pretty much only talking about Michael Jackson. Thanks to Alan Black for keeping up the theme with this photoshop and to Daniel Orta for our miraculous new soundboard.

Good thing this wasn't 100. Farrah Fawcett would have even less people talking about her...

Keep On With The Podcast Don't Stop
Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough Keep on

Ouch....but true.

R.I.P King of Pop

if the gang's all here, why .75?

Next one's gonna be 99.875

also, it doesnt show up in the itunes store yet

They're still preparing.

Soundboards and whatnot. It's gonna be epic.

that scream is not the wilhelm. This is the wilhelm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhB1AZCaP6U

Correct! It isn't the Wilhelm (Ludwig asked for the Wilhelm, actually) but it's called "Gut Wrenching Scream".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf6_hok4-lo

I put it in specifically because it appeared in two video games, Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight, and in Starcraft (it's the sound of the Academy, if i recall correctly)

i've heard that one in countless places as well, but i can never remember any specific ones

after playing sc so much, it doesn't even sound like a scream

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin.
Give the audience a grin.
Enjoy it. It's your last chance, anyhow.
So,

Always look on the bright side of death,
Just before you draw your terminal breath.

*whistles*

All I get is 104 minutes and the rss doesn't download.

I keep getting a file not found error for the rss. And when I download the mp3 it gets cut off at 104 minutes.

Download fails on iTunes for me. I get a file couldn't be found on the server type message.

It's working now, and if you actually count the podcasts, this is the 125th.

still not working on itunes for me

The one thing i HATED about prototype was the lack of combos. They all just had xxxx or xxy and that was basically it. Even worse, when you upgrade the blade arm with the Blade Frenzy power, you lose the ability to stream your attacks, and the blade power is the only one you can do that effectively with, whereas all the other powers will have their combos stop and you have to run to the next enemy. So for anyone who hasnt gotten it yet DONT BUY THE BLADE FRENZY!!!

Also don't buy the game at all for the PC.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the PC version, no one I know has had problems with it either.

Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me, Princess!

Yeah its not working in itunes for me either

The download isn't working on the Zune Marketplace... =(

Incorrect URL bidness.... fat fingers ftw.

there's a zune marketplace?!

pop, its working now

NOOOOO! Chris! How could you! You've betrayed my trust and revealed my second secret identity! You will pay for this transgression! When you're walking down a dark philly ally, and Ben Gilbert appears, ready to sexually assault you, don't expect any help!

I was just thinking "Why the no Austin Powers SFX?" right as Justin mentioned it.

I made notes throughout of what sounds to add. I'll definitely add one or two austin powers quotes!

Yes! I've been Brushed with Fame and my Photoshop was chosen! Best. Week. Ever.

Sweet shop.

I was really expecting the big 100. Nonetheless, I guess we can all wait another week, unless something like Ep. 99.99 releases.

Thanks for another one though. Also, at the supermarket I just noticed that we now have Blueberry Muffin Tops in the Cereal section. And there's tons of them!

Ugh. Hearing that Zelda clip reminded me of how much Link is a douchebag when he speaks.

WELL EXCUSE MEEEEEEE, F1: Basu Gasu Bakuhatsu!

wow, that doesn't have the same ring to it.

I don't know how anyone can hear that sound byte and not laugh. It's the greatest line.

Seriously, next time someone gets pissed over something stupid, bust that line out. It's one of my favorite things to do. No one ever knows how to react when a bunch of people start laughing and saying "Oh man I loved that show!"

Out of all the sound effects i put into the soundboard, that one was the worst. I ripped the effect from a compilation of that line:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPxY8lpYAUM

Try and survive a minute of it. I dare you. I had to watch it three times to figure out which one was the best.

...and no one's going to save you from the beast about to strike...

MJ, your beast was the stroke, and no one saved you. *sniff*

LUDWIG. Why the L.A. Burn?

He hates you!

:(
*seinfeld sound effect*

The Dino game sounds like Primal Rage. Eh, who knows

Gotham! Just got to Justin's barrage! YES.

Love those sound effects, really adds to the podcast.

Hadn't listened to the podcast in long time because got tired of you guys being so anti-PS3. Decided to listen tonight because I thought God of War 3 was among the topics discussed, turns out nothing has changed: Hate on Infamous, call GoW3 more of the same (devoted like whole minute to it to just call it more of GoW2). I don't see you guys calling all teh Haloz more of the same.

Anyone with their head out of Xbox ass can tell that GoW 3 has better graphics than previous GoW games, next iteration of Haloz look just like it did 3 years ago. Can't wait for FTC to start investigating bloggers for payola.

jesus, you had the sound but you really didnt listen. First off, they said God of War 3 looked better than 2, they also never said it sucked, they said their excitement for it was tempered by them knowing it will be good. Secondly, they did say, in this podcast and previous, that the really liked Infamous. They only listed and described some of the games flaws, which did not stop them from enjoying it overall. They also largely critiqued prototype. Seems to me like you think they're biased because you are
