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

ChooChooCharlie @ Jun 26th 2009 3:18PM
They're still preparing.
Soundboards and whatnot. It's gonna be epic.
The Dark Wayne @ Jun 26th 2009 2:48PM
that scream is not the wilhelm. This is the wilhelm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhB1AZCaP6U
DJMayhem @ Jun 26th 2009 3:08PM
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)
The Dark Wayne @ Jun 26th 2009 3:21PM
i've heard that one in countless places as well, but i can never remember any specific ones
rTwelve @ Jun 26th 2009 3:25PM
after playing sc so much, it doesn't even sound like a scream
Shagittarius @ Jun 26th 2009 2:51PM
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.
Old Professor Zertoss @ Jun 26th 2009 2:56PM
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.

All I get is 104 minutes and the rss doesn't download.
NwrksBigBoss @ Jun 26th 2009 3:22PM
I keep getting a file not found error for the rss. And when I download the mp3 it gets cut off at 104 minutes.
4dSwissCheese @ Jun 26th 2009 3:02PM
Download fails on iTunes for me. I get a file couldn't be found on the server type message.
Kevin @ Jun 26th 2009 3:07PM
It's working now, and if you actually count the podcasts, this is the 125th.
The Dark Wayne @ Jun 26th 2009 3:27PM
still not working on itunes for me
The Dark Wayne @ Jun 26th 2009 3:26PM
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!!!
Old Professor Zertoss @ Jun 26th 2009 3:34PM
Also don't buy the game at all for the PC.
Ihavepants @ Jun 27th 2009 1:02AM
There's absolutely nothing wrong with the PC version, no one I know has had problems with it either.
Old Professor Zertoss @ Jun 26th 2009 3:35PM
Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me, Princess!
firefly.thirdwing @ Jun 26th 2009 3:42PM
Yeah its not working in itunes for me either
Chris @ Jun 26th 2009 3:43PM
The download isn't working on the Zune Marketplace... =(
zlickrick @ Jun 26th 2009 3:59PM
Incorrect URL bidness.... fat fingers ftw.
firefly.thirdwing @ Jun 26th 2009 4:05PM
there's a zune marketplace?!
firefly.thirdwing @ Jun 26th 2009 4:06PM
pop, its working now
The Dark Wayne @ Jun 26th 2009 4:44PM
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!
Trev_tron @ Jun 26th 2009 4:57PM
I was just thinking "Why the no Austin Powers SFX?" right as Justin mentioned it.
DJMayhem @ Jun 27th 2009 1:24PM
I made notes throughout of what sounds to add. I'll definitely add one or two austin powers quotes!
Action-Alan @ Jun 26th 2009 5:10PM
Yes! I've been Brushed with Fame and my Photoshop was chosen! Best. Week. Ever.
CH3BURASHKA @ Jun 26th 2009 6:32PM
Sweet shop.
LAZoftheTamarinds @ Jun 26th 2009 5:23PM
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!
F1: Basu Gasu Bakuhatsu @ Jun 26th 2009 5:29PM
Ugh. Hearing that Zelda clip reminded me of how much Link is a douchebag when he speaks.
Christopher Grant @ Jun 26th 2009 5:49PM
WELL EXCUSE MEEEEEEE, F1: Basu Gasu Bakuhatsu!
wow, that doesn't have the same ring to it.
Old Professor Zertoss @ Jun 27th 2009 1:17AM
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!"
DJMayhem @ Jun 27th 2009 3:16PM
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.
CH3BURASHKA @ Jun 26th 2009 6:31PM
...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*
Edog Lost @ Jun 26th 2009 6:49PM
LUDWIG. Why the L.A. Burn?
Christopher Grant @ Jun 26th 2009 6:59PM
He hates you!
Edog Lost @ Jun 26th 2009 7:35PM
:(

HandSandwich @ Jun 26th 2009 7:25PM
The Dino game sounds like Primal Rage. Eh, who knows
HandSandwich @ Jun 26th 2009 7:51PM
Gotham! Just got to Justin's barrage! YES.
XGM @ Jun 26th 2009 8:27PM
Love those sound effects, really adds to the podcast.
VGSFTW @ Jun 26th 2009 11:05PM
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.
The Dark Wayne @ Jun 27th 2009 1:15AM
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
