  • Ok, I think I'm missing something.  I'm trying to download the free DLC that comes with Dragon Age Origins (I picked it up yesterday for PS3) and I can't get the damn thing to connect to the servers. I press triangle at the main menu and it says the servers aren't available right now.   I'm never prompted to sign in to the EA account.  The thing is I can ...

  • I hate to commit to a certain party, though I have conservative leanings. I feel like both parties have over time become too extreme.  Our country is severely divided right now and neither of the main parties are doing a good job of representing the people.  With yet another clueless administration, I don't feel that this is going to improve any time soon.  Borderlands is pretty cool though.

  • I like Sony because they've never disappointed me. The company makes some batshit crazy decisions, but I never regret buying a Sony console.  I've just grown to love the franchises that have sprung up on their systems.  I think Sony's  style  just suits me best.

  • Nah, what made Giant bomb stand out in the first place was the people behind the website . The personalities of Ryan, Jeff, Vinny, and Brad are what kept me coming back (as well as getting me interested in videogame podcasts.  So while other sites may try to offer similar video content, they can't recreate the awesomeness of the Giant Bomb staff. Often imitated, never duplicated...Giant Bomb FTW!!1

  • Well I just graduated from college so looking for a (decent) job is gonna put a damper on things. Oh yeah, and the fact that I'm getting married next summer. Something tells me that marriage will have an impact on my time and money, just a guess :)

First of all, I just want to say thanks to the Giantbomb staff for creating THE greatest videogame podcast on the web. It's the only podcast that I actually listen to on a regular basis.  
With that said, I find it difficult to downgrade to lesser podcasts.  IGN's Podcast Beyond is ok I guess for Playstation specific stuff, but that is really the only one I've come across that I can tolerate listening to.  I tried the new Rebel FM but those guys really annoy me.
So anyways, I want to know what videogame podcasts any of you would recommend .  Is there anything out there worth listening to?

Oh God why!?  WHY!?  My I pod Nano, only two years old, has left this cold cruel world. A negligent toss of the laundery into the washing machine brought the wondrous little gadget to a watery grave. Through a spin and rinse cycle it went, set to super load, a terrible way to go. But nay, the torment did not end there.  The nano was submitted to the firey heat of the dryer, a tornado of death.
It was not until I heard the sickening sounds of its lifeless body being  repeatedly thrown against the dryer door that I realized that something had gone terribly wrong. The horror! There I sat holding its lifeless form, never again to glow to life. Never again to play those Nirvana albums over and over again. Never again to accompany me during the long hours at work.  Oh I pod Nano, how I will miss all the joy you brought me. To think I will never hear that little clicky scroll wheel ever again and never play those stupid little games. I'll even miss you're flaws, like how you would sometime refuse to shut off, even though I clearly needed time away. Or even the way you would sometimes freeze up, with no way to reset, and I'd have to wait all day for your battery to drain, just so I could charge it back up. But you always came back, we'd make up and listen to sweet sweet Nirvana all night long. Goodbye Ipod Nano... you were too young!

Oh the HUMANITY...
Oh the HUMANITY...



p.s. Now how the hell am I supposed to listen to the podcast while working, dammit.

     Yesterday it was announced on X play ( I almost threw up in my mouth a little) that E3 2009 will mark the show's return to it roots.  Hallelujah! Like the prodigal son, the old E3 we know and love is coming home... and I'm all to happy to take it back. While I've never been to the show myself, I have fond memories of waiting for the special E3 issues of PSM (the REAL PSM) and other awesome mags. Flipping through those pages were pure awesome. 

 With the past couple of years being a tad  uninspiring, I'm really excited to see if they can bring it back to the way things used to be.  Maybe its the nostalgia for when I was younger and looked forward to every little scrap of info that came out .  All the coverage was entertaining to read and keep up with. The past few attempts seemed like sitting in on board meetings. Ew...Tastes like pie charts.

Anyways I'm curious to see what other people's thoughts are. I hope they make good on their promise and that this is the return of the real E3. Now that this problem is on its way to being solved, we just have to find a way of destroying that monstrosity known as G4.

Last night I decided that I was going to be responsible, get up early, and get some extra study time for my exam this morning. Well, that was the plan anyway. Before going to sleep I decided to check my email first, and lo and behold the playstation Underground peeps had sent me a Killzone Beta code. Friggin sweet, especially since I didn't know they were sending out any keys. Needless to say I immediately downloaded it and played until 2:00 am.  Studying is overrated anyway. THE END.
PS         Oh yeah, and if anyone is in the beta add me, same profile name.

I finally was able to score a LBP beta key this morning, much to my suprise. After the Gamespot fiasco I was ready to give up.
Its funny, but people really freaked (and currently are in the process of freaking out) trying to get this damn thing. I'll admit I got kinda caught up in it too. Readin the official forum thread on the Playstation boards probably didn't help. Talking with a hundred other people who are also extremely hyped for the game only made me more anxious to be in the beta. 

The time spent on this was not healthy at all lol. While I was able to get a key, it cost me hours of sleep, one class, possibly my eyeballs (I swear my vision has dropped from staring at this damn screen), and I may or may not have pissed off my girlfriend. Its hard to remember. It sounds so crazy right now that I spent so much effort on getting in the beta, for a game that will be out in about a month.  

But then I go play LittleBigPlanet and I remember "Oh yeah this is friggin incredible!" I've spent all day screwing around making one short  level, that still doesn't feel finished yet. I seriously lost track of time.  I can see how this game is going to take over a lot of people's lives for a while. Whats funny is I was debating what to buy next month: LBP  or Fallout 3.  A game like Fallout is sure to be time consuming... oh wait.

Beware, this game steals souls

A True Gem of The Playstation 2 Era (PS2)
