Oh no! I can't play flash on my phone. Is there a link to a .mp3 somewhere?

Hopefully that works!

You guys are bad people for naming it this. But it's pretty coo'

XGal sounds like some sort of eroge game starting anime robot ladies.

Hope it worked out for you. We gave you a loooooong answer. Rambled a bit, but hopefully some of it was relevant or useful to you.

This is just viral marketing for an eroge game I'm working on.

Huh, I was surprised to hear some straight-up regular-ass video game conversation going on. I figured this was purely about answering relationship questions. Not a complaint mind you, just was a little surprised. Also, while the poop talk was gross, I'm really glad that the context wasn't related to one of the relationship advice questions as I initially feared...

@yummylee: Yeah, we figured "Whatcha Been Playin" would be a good way to let people get to know us a little better going forward so we always planned on keeping that as a small section at the front, and people seemed to respond to it after our trial run. It probably won't usually be as long or in-depth as it was this week, but hopefully it wasn't dull or anything. The main focus of the podcast will remain "girl advice".

And sorry about all the poop, but people need to keep that shit where it belongs, know what I mean?

Alright well that was kinda interesting to have my exact thoughts echoed by Wrighteous there so at least I'm not crazy. Guess I should mention we did text each other a few times throughout the couple weeks but as a final experiment to see if I was worth her time I waited to see if she would initiate the next conversation or not and haven't received any messages to this day, so that's that for sure. Entertaining podcast guys, keep it up.

That's the most Japanese thing I've ever seen.

Listened to this last night. You guys are getting better at podcasting. I also like the "Whatcha been playing?" segment in the beginning. It seemed to get you guys into the swing of things.

@myketuna: Thanks for the support man!

Yeah, sorry it didn't work out for you man. But like I said, there is a positive message to get out of it. That's the problem with online dating, you get a lot of rejections, but you also get a lot of shots. Hang in there!

We'll try record next weekend or so, so if any guys or girls have any questions send them our way! Thanks!

Good on you duders for making more community content, but It's just a matter of time before this threads locked due to the image above. (Whisper) I'll keep it a secret if you can.

@themanwithnoplan: Really? I got that picture after image searching for "eroge" on Giant Bomb, so it's straight from the wiki. If a mod asks, I'll remove it.

And man... there is some horrifying stuff when you look for that. Thanks for that, @demoskinos.

Sexy cows, sexy bumble bees, sexy genies... and then your typical sexy robots and sexy bunnies or cats.

Wow, I didn't know Giant Bomb was so all inclusive. I wonder what other dark secrets it holds. I guess they don't call it the largest editable video game database for nothing.

Well, before 2011 there were some pages with straight up porn. ESPECIALLY on Animevice. Then they really started cracking down on that stuff and probably rightly so.

I was just informed by a friend that our podcast is being featured on iTunes "New and Noteworthy" page, crazy!

Look's like we're in good company with Comic Vine and Scoops Interview Dumptruck!

@duskvamp: I think that's limited to the UK (based on all of the BBC podcasts) but still pretty cool! That's what you guys call "lush"... right? Right?

Not exactly, that's not really the right use of the slang "lush" and I never use it in that sense. You've been watching too much of "The Valley's".
