Sam yes essay’s are very depressing. I think my teacher was nice and passed me because she saw that I was putting a bunch of effort into it. Hopefully your teacher is the same otherwise if you are having as much trouble as I did you might do as bad as I should have.

I can agree with that. Pokemon Theme = AMAZING.

Also, I loved the DQ5 discussion. I did actually burst out laughing only to be scolded by the person beside me. Must be the sing of a good day.

I think I may have to listen to MAP only in computer labs. The entertaining chatter seems to keep me motivated…and I need this entertainment because editing a thesis and other essay crap is very, very depressing.

Lee, I’m terribly sorry but there is nothing more exciting than the Pokémon theme.

@Sam-Lol that reminds me of a about a week or so ago when I was listening to MAP on one of the computers in the Uni Library. Bup started doing his Lee impression and I burst out laughing, then everyone turned around and looked at me like I was deranged. Fun times. I believe I will listen to MAP at home henceforth.

Glad you enjoy the show Sam. Keep listening ever week next week I might sing something new and even more exciting.

In the first one we recored before Lusipurr messed it up I was singing a lot more. I guess the internet will never know those delights.

I gotta say, I just got around to listening to this, and Lee – I adore you. I had to muffle a giggle in the computer lab I was working in it when you started singing the Pokemon theme.

Also, I hope Ashley enjoys VP: CotP. I’m a huge VP fan myself, and I’m actually struggling to enjoy this game. On one had, I find it refreshing and different, but my inner fangirl is struggling to accept the game because I just can’t stand Wylfred. Makes me sad.

Well you see the problem with that is that if i do want to play my PS2 i have to buy a new tv because the one i currently have only supports HDMI and does not have the component cables. This is because it is actually a monitor that i use as a TV to watch TV on and play video games.

As someone who owns a ‘fully’ backwards compatible 60GB PS3, I think I’m qualified to tell you do not spend a load of money on eBay for a backwards compatible PS3!!!

Keep your PS2 and use that for your PS1/PS2 games, and then buy a nice cheap current model PS3 and use it for PS3 and Blu-Ray. The upscaling/smoothing is not worth the extra cost, and there are loads of issues with the backwards compatibility anyway.

Also initially there were other reasons that I would not purchase a PS3 or Xbox 360. Both of them were over priced when they came out, but thankfully the Xbox lowered in price so I bought that over the PS3. The backwards compatibility is not functional in the PS3 which was another main reason for me to pick up the PS3 so if i were to get one i would probably go the Ebay route and find one that can play the old games.There are not enough games i actually want to play on the PS3 to merit a purchase. From what i hear the networking on the PS3 is very “hit and miss” with certain titles while on the Xbox 360 (even though you have to pay) is much more reliable…yeah just a few reasons.

Now see that makes much more sense.

Haha wow that got a lot more replies than I thought it would. Alright it is true I do indeed favor the xbox360 however that does not mean i think the PS3 is a bad system. The PS3 is a good system but the only reason I was planning on getting it was because of FFXIII, now that FFXIII is coming out for Xbox360 I do not need to pick up a PS3.

Bup is the win suck.

By: Bup

Bup — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 13:23:10 +0000

Anytime someone says “the win” or “the suck,” their argument is negated, because those phrases are horrible.

Lee — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 12:06:06 +0000

Am I going to have to get my anti-fanboy boots on? No really Reetin if you think the PS3 does suck, then please tell us with a little more detail.

The PS3 does indeed “suck” for a number of reasons i.e the cost,lack of early good exclusives I am sure you can come up with more.

The PS3 podcast thread will go up today at some point today.

FFXIII + FFvsXIII for the PS3=The Lose????????

You’re making no sense Reetin, I can’t hear you over all the glowering fanboy ire.

By: Oyashiro Sama

Oyashiro Sama — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 10:11:30 +0000

Thats your main reason?…

FFXIII is for the PS3 as well, And FFXIIIVS. Not to mention the plethora of other exclusive announced for the PS3 that are coming out this year.

Usually you go with Exclusives for = “The Win” and not Multiplats. But I can see the reasoning seeing as the 360 doesn’t really have a lot of upcoming exclusives announced.

PS3 = The Suck
I have many reasons for this but my main reason is FFXIII for Xbox = The Win.

By: SiliconNooB

SiliconNooB — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 09:36:51 +0000

Yeah that was my bad. I actually did have the spoiler obscured out when I originally posted it in a Cat Fancy thread, but when I copied and pasted it I didn’t really think about it.

BTW PS3 FTW.

@Bup I hate you.

On another note, I still love Eternal Sonata and would count it as among the best RPGs I have played in quite some time. This fact may be because I am in love with classical music, and I actually did enjoy the story no how shallow it might have been. I would have to agree with Ethos that it would be nice for people who have not played to game to avoid spoilers, or at least give a warning that you are doing so.

PS3 4 lyfe…

@SN: Probably around Rebellion & Mutiny Day, when Ethos and Oliver will be within sucking range of each other.

Update: I was going to photoshop a picture of Ethan and Oliver so that it would look like they are making out.

But then I remembered that I am lazy and I don’t have photoshop.

Just thought you should know.

By: SiliconNooB

SiliconNooB — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 04:00:20 +0000

BTW when are you planning on unveiling operation Ethos?

By: Lusipurr

Lusipurr — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 03:54:46 +0000

The explicit nature of Ethos’ sucking it up is, unfortunately, too much even for Lusipurr.com to describe in full detail.

So you’ll have to wait for our Summer Special.

Nor ever should.
