We've been threatening to do it forever, and it's finally arrived: our 100th show, recorded before a live internet audience earlier today. We've got a very special intro from a guest celebrity, touching memories, a random call to Justin's dad, a brand new call-in hotline and so SO much more.

Oh, and we've got more Stump JC, since that's all you people care about.

That show was incredible live... as well as the after the show bit.

Look At This Suit @ Jul 10th 2009 4:37PM

I missed it live due to sleep, which was caused by a session of BF: 1943 that lasted until 5 AM. Way to break 2 hours, guys, I can't wait. Congrats on 100, and here's to 100 more.

Look At This Suit @ Jul 10th 2009 4:48PM

And Chris, you're talking about how this game seems like a ton of fun when you're all on a team together and communicating with your friends, it is. Me and my friends were DAMNED persistent trying to get into games together, and we eventually did. Once we were all together, it was probably one of the best multiplayer experiences I've had on the console, right up there with Halo and Call of Duty.

I'd like to tell you a story. My friend was being attacked by a tank, and I just so happened to be driving a jeep that I may or may not have strapped with C4. I drive towards said tank, bail out of my jeep, and hit the plunger. The Jeep blows, taking the tank with it.

Also, PARACHUTES.

The Dark Wayne @ Jul 10th 2009 4:51PM

nowhere near as good as BF2s parachutes : (

Look At This Suit @ Jul 10th 2009 4:55PM

But better than Bad Company's parachutes. Which didn't exist. Flying up to the highest point possible and then jumping out to act as kind of a battlefield commander is so much fun. Also, landing behind the unaware and swording them in the back of the skull.

Old Professor Zertoss @ Jul 10th 2009 5:27PM

I loved the BF1942 multiplayer demo back in the day. People jumping out of airplanes and deciding that THAT would be a good time to ask how to use the parachute.

They always got their answer AFTER hitting the ground. It was fantastic.

Sly @ Jul 10th 2009 6:27PM

your jeep tactic reminded me of warhawk. you could load up a jeep with proximity mines and drive it straight into the enemy base, and kill a ton of people. and SWORDS?! did i read that right?

Look At This Suit @ Jul 10th 2009 6:33PM

Yes sir, you did read that correctly. The Japanese Scout is equipped with a Katana as a melee weapon. The American Scout is equipped with an extremely long bayonet that he uses like a sword. The "Infantry" class for both factions uses a monkey wrench, and the Rifleman classes are both equipped with bayonets attached to their rifles.

The Dark Wayne @ Jul 10th 2009 6:47PM

i hope to test whether the wrench can magically explode walls like BFBC's power drill

Sly @ Jul 10th 2009 10:53PM

so is it anything like call of duty's knives, but with longer range? or do you have to run around with it out, unable to use your gun?

Josh @ Jul 11th 2009 6:07PM

I've been doing that all the time for years in BF2.

NowWithMoreBrian @ Jul 10th 2009 4:38PM

Ok, that's some bad photoshop filtering.

The Dark Wayne @ Jul 10th 2009 4:40PM

please do every show, or at least some more live, but not at 1030

Toastix @ Jul 10th 2009 4:41PM

Welcome to the century club! You are now a member of the podcast elite! how special do you guys feel? :)

CH3BURASHKA @ Jul 10th 2009 4:43PM

OH MY GOD ITS FINALLY HERE! ITS SO BEAUTIFUL!

Matthew (GamerzTech.com) @ Jul 10th 2009 4:45PM

Congrats!

CFH GARZA @ Jul 10th 2009 4:45PM

If you missed the live show your a dick-face.

Look At This Suit @ Jul 10th 2009 4:49PM

Or, you know, you have other things to do. Such as work. Or sleep. Or attending to household chores. Or sleep.

CFH GARZA @ Jul 10th 2009 5:49PM

Nope pretty sure you just suck if you missed it.

Sly @ Jul 10th 2009 6:28PM

yeah, i woke up at 2:00PM central time so i missed it...

ArchiGamer [thephilosophyofgames.wordpress.com] @ Jul 10th 2009 6:48PM

WOW, Sly, and I thought I sleep too long.

ArchiGamer [thephilosophyofgames.wordpress.com] @ Jul 10th 2009 4:47PM

100 podcasts and yet your still look good. What's your secret?

j.howlett @ Jul 10th 2009 4:47PM

i caught the live show. i might still horde the old tech of an mp3 away for later

Chris_Mac @ Jul 10th 2009 4:49PM

They were truly Doin' It Live, god speed you titans of humanity

Joshua Fruhlinger @ Jul 10th 2009 4:54PM

Nice work guys!

J.Goodwin @ Jul 10th 2009 4:54PM

Perfectly timed to coincide with UFC 100.

Bravo sirs.

justin @ Jul 13th 2009 10:16AM

woot!

Rein @ Jul 10th 2009 5:10PM

Thank you so much guys for making fun of Gawker's ridiculous new comment system (at least, I think you did)... :D

Saria the Cat @ Jul 10th 2009 5:43PM

:( :( :(

I'm so sad I missed this live!

Old Professor Zertoss @ Jul 10th 2009 5:55PM

You were a brief topic of discussion too.

Sly @ Jul 10th 2009 6:29PM

seriously? that would be a bit creepy, no?

The Dark Wayne @ Jul 10th 2009 6:31PM

that's the point isnt it?

ArchiGamer [thephilosophyofgames.wordpress.com] @ Jul 10th 2009 6:46PM

Saria the Cat @ Jul 10th 2009 6:53PM

I'm just as confused as you are, Archi.

Old Professor Zertoss @ Jul 10th 2009 7:08PM

It was something to do with the fitness ads. We basically concluded that Joystiq women are buff, and Saria the Cat will fuck you up.

ArchiGamer [thephilosophyofgames.wordpress.com] @ Jul 10th 2009 7:10PM

So, Saria the Tiger then?

LAZoftheTamarinds @ Jul 10th 2009 6:15PM

Bummed that I missed it live but at least I get to listen to it now.

Thanks for another awesome episode.

Takamofo @ Jul 10th 2009 6:49PM

DSG!

Donald @ Jul 10th 2009 7:33PM

Kudos on finally knocking off 100 episodes.

Although tecnically, this is episode 125 including roundtables, GDC/E3/CES specials, the last 3 episodes, and that one episode of the Ludwig Kietzmann Show Starring Ludwig Kietzmann.

JMoney156 @ Jul 10th 2009 7:47PM

Sorry for derailing the podcast at 10:18 in! Great live show guys!!

DaMan09 @ Jul 10th 2009 9:56PM

Ficken @ Jul 10th 2009 10:16PM

Congrats guys! Was there to DO IT LIVE! But what happened to Episode 0. I want it!

Zamzoph @ Jul 11th 2009 12:23AM

Kinda funny that I missed the show because I was to busy playing vidjeo games...

We need more live shows, though! DO IT LIVE!
