TSM Episode 100: Horny Level

I like this picture. Shut up.

This picture chosen for no particular reason.

In a landmark episode, Nate ‘Bup’ Liles returns to keep everyone aware of just why he is not here more often. Despite operating with a horny level that is off the chart, the panel manages to discuss Chrono Trigger, Wii U development, and Lady Gaga news.

    Makes for a more comfortable fit. I think Hanes owns the copyright, though.

    Only 8 minutes in, but I have to leave. Will listen to the rest later. Err… listen to it for the second time of course!

    @Ethos: I was surprised at how quiet you were this week.

    Ethos was a definite highlight on this one.

    You need to give Bup a few months between podcasts to gather new material by which to bother Lusipurr. If anyone enjoys his presence, there are so many past MAP’s and some TSM’s to revisit.

    I do miss SiliconNoob’s presence from the past couple casts; it’s always delightful to hear his input on the declining state of the industry and other divers and sundry topics.

    All in all an enjoyable listen, guys. Thanks for bearing through making it!

    @MattDance: Full credit for using the site’s avowed purpose in your comment!

    Maybe if I lock Bup in a pit for a few months, he’ll be more thankful when we pull him out for a podcast now and again.

    I also hope SN is back next week. I dislike doing the podcast without my co-host!

    I agree with KiskaiProject, more Bup is not a bad thing at all.

    Is Nate behind this?

    The crowd farter thing is amazing.

    I was listening to this with headphones while walking around outside trying to contain my laughter. The thing that makes this so damn funny is the way that Lusipurr angrily explains everything. Absolutely hilarious!

    I just thought I’d mention that you folks have ruined other podcasts for me. Where I once enjoyed general consensus gaming speak found in podcasts like Giantbomb, I now am cognizant of just how often they each sidestep inflammatory issues in an effort not to offend potential advertisers.

    Kudos, for being the one podcast I listen to that doesn’t play things safe or adopt a politically correct tone for the sake of page views. This level of honesty is both admirable, and refreshing.

    Tell your friends, Wolfe. “Lusipurr.com! We have no sponsors.”

    *sigh* Lusipurr, I love the cut of your jib, but really, it kind of drains my enjoyment of the podcast when you have to spend a significant amount of time shouting down and acting like a babysitter to your co-hosts when they behave with the mental acuity of Beavis and Butthead… in middle school.

    It may be just my particular sense of humor, but I didn’t find this as funny as others did. Nate forcing that obnoxious music on the podcast almost made me want to stop listening to the podcast, which would have been a shame, because I love it every time Lusipurr is on the RPGcast and what he brings (especially the poetry), but I don’t love it when nonsense like this continues.

    In a somewhat more relevant statement: I’m waiting for the GOTY edition of Borderlands 2 that has all the DLC with it like the first one. Because I’m both patient and cheap.

    P.S. No more Nate Lyles.

    I’d like to second Wolfe’s comment. I may not always agree with the opinions expressed, but I enjoy independent sites like this for their freedom and openness.

    My Bup senses were tingling (or burning). I knew it was time for him to come back. Also “I will take your breath away with an axe” is an awesome line. Good show with that one.

    In that case you should also wait for a substantial price drop, because Gearbox don’t deserve your money.

    The last two Borderlands 2 DLCs have been a crock of shit, the level cap increase was just to make sure that Krieg was not part of the Season Pass. Krieg himself has quite a few problems from what I have seen as well. I can only imagine that Borderlands 3 will have Sleeping Dogs style of DLC.

    Also, apparently Iliya never listened to MAP, otherwise he would know not to expect the podcast to be more than Lusi babysitting us.

    I intend to, Mr. Taylor. That way, it can be my personal double middle finger to Randy Pitchford for using his ill gotten lucre to purchase, and eventually, ruin the Homeworld series. Yes, seeing that filthy man’s hands over one of my favorite RTS series and what introduced me to Sameul Barber and Yes, doesn’t make me happy.

    And yes, Mr. Pagel, I have not listened to the MAP, so, I’m afraid that I am at a disadvantage. And as a matter of fact, I don’t even know what that stands for.
