Podcast - DF #54: Flock Your Dawn of War Too

By kush 26 Comments

A new episode of Distributed Failure is up for your listening displeasure and honestly I don't feel like writing much today so I'll keep things short. This week's episode is without Rob, breaking his streak of 53 straight episodes...Be sure to email us and tell us how much better the show is without him so he gets all depressed and emo!

In "What We've Been Playing" we discuss Dawn of War II, A Kingdom for Keflings, MLB 09 The Show, Flock!, Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom, and an interesting XNA game called: Game about a soup factory. After that we dive into some gaming news including the always rumbling rumor of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 being announced for XBLA/PSN, as well as the announcement of early GOTY-contender ... Lego Rock Band. That's pretty much what this show is all about. Love it. Download it. Delete it. Repeat.


Question for next week: What is your favorite fighter and which do you prefer: 2D fighters, or 3D fighters?

Podcast - DF #53: Riddick is a Fat Princess

By kush 8 Comments

This week's episode of Distributed Failure features only 2/3rds the excitement and 0/3rds the poo of a normal episode. That's right, once again we are without Gus due to his inability to poo and podcast at the same time. Never fear though, for Kush and Rob are here!

This week's "What We've Been Playing" features many sausagely delicious titles such as: The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, The Godfather II, Outrun Online Arcade, Red Faction: Guerrilla, Fat Princess, Valkryia Chronicles, and the Tomb Raider: Underworld DLC! We follow that up with a bit of gaming news, including the pathetically awful sales for Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars ...fuck you Nintendo fanboys! We then dive into the Sausage Dump with some TV/Book recommendations and wrap up the show with what we'd like to see at this year's E3!

Enjoy the show and don't forget to tell your friends about us...we could use the support! Don't forget to drink your Ovaltine!


Question: What the fudgesicle is up with this "potty dance" business?

Podcast - DF #52: Go Buy Valkyria Chronicles

By kush 13 Comments

This week's show sees the return of a full cast, leaving us with a crew that's not quite sure what to do (I'm apparently on a rhyming fixation right now). We have a "biggum" for you this week as we managed to fail for just over an hour and a half and we don't even remember recording half of it! All you need to know is this: Those of you who fight through until the end will get quite the reward!

In this week's "What You've Been Playing", we discuss games such as Valkyria Chronicles, FLOCK!, Puzzle Quest: Galactrix, Star Ocean 4, Age of Booty, Silent Hill: Origins, Rune Factory, and much more! We follow that up with a little gaming news, focusing on Will Wright's departure from EA and Amazon's new venture into the business of selling XBLA game codes...for the exact ammount (OMG)! We then answer our "Question of the Week" and discuss our thoughts on video game marketing and some of our favorite video game commercials. We end on quite the tangent about movies and probably could have kept talking for even longer, but Rob was not about to miss Lost just to bullshit for another 30 minutes.


Hopefully you guys enjoy the show and don't forget to come back next week for even more failure from the guys who fail better than anyone else. Sausage, out!

Craplog Delay

By kush 1 Comments

Original Post: HERE

I Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that Craplog will likely not make it's scheduled debut this week due to my nitpicky ass. It's taking a bit longer right now just because I am trying to make sure it is...well...what I want it to be. This inaugural episode is also featuring discussion on the idea behind the show and what to expect in the future, among other items of interest. There is also the possibility that Craplog will change from a standalone show, to a segment of a grander, "epicererer" podcast.

Anyway, if the show does in fact miss its release this week, you can expect to see it next week and I guarantee it! Just know that Craplog may become part of what I'll currently just call "The Pixelated Sausagecast" and if this were to happen, it would consist of at least three different segments, those being:

  • Craplog: A segment where I go back in time (maybe even only a few months) to play and discuss those amazingly horrible games in ways that will make your ears bleed! ie. Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness
  • XNA Sausage of the Week/Month: A segment where I highlight one XNA Community game that is actually an awesome game and well worth your measly few bucks. I may also add in an "XNA Craplog" portion that essentially does the same thing for an amazingly awful XNA game.
  • The Sausage Dump: This will be a segment dedicated to any discussion not relating to video games in anyway, such as film, music, comics, or fresh Sicilian-baked goods!

...This is all a work in progress, but keep in mind that no matter what happens, this show will still only come out either once a month, or possibly once every two weeks if you're lucky. I know that no one out there is interested in any of this except for moi right here, but hopefully this show will be something unique and different enough to warrant your time.

Podcast - DF #51: Dishwashing Henry Hatsworth

By kush 13 Comments

We had some technical problems with this specific episode so we just want to apologize up front for the low levels on my audio (Kush); sorry about all that poppycock, jibber-jabber. Anyway, this week's episode is shorter than usual and features only Rob and myself...Gus is too busy playing Magic! to make this week's epic failure of a show.

We start out the show like any other show with "What We've Been Playing", which should probably be changed to "What We've Been Playing Besides Resident Evil 5 This Week", but I digress. We talk about Blue Dragon (I hate you Rob!), Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure, The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, and much more.

We follow that up with a little gaming news including the recent PS2 price drop, which is the greatest bit of gaming news in the history of gaming news! Besides all that nonsense, we talk about a mother's sudden interest in DS gaming and then end the show with some info on my upcoming new podcast: Pixelated Sausage presents, The Craplog. I'll force you to listen to this podcast in order to hear about the new one, but expect episode #1 to go live sometime late next week!

Podcast - DF #50: Fear 2 Cry eHarmony

By kush 26 Comments

We recently hit the one-year mark a few weeks back and now we've hit episode numero "fiddy"! Is it odd that I suddenly have a desire to play 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand? This week we start out with "What We've Been Playing" as always and discuss Far Cry 2 and magic wrenches, FEAR 2: Project Origin, Peggle (on XBLA), Pokemon Platinum, and much more! Gus also shows his age with a little tale on how not to enjoy a special pre-order demo.

We follow up all that "jazz" with some gaming news, such as Rob's "pants-jizzing" over Nintendo's new Zelda announcement, as well as the numerous Final Fantasy announcements. We also mention the announcement of Max Payne 3 and whether or not I should grow back my pedo-beard in honor of Max's new look. We end the show with a special announcement about the future of our podcast and hopefully we'll be able to distribute our failure to a much wider audience in the coming weeks!

This week's sausage dump is all about Rob and his "luck" with eHarmony!

Podcast - DF #49: Resident Evil 5/GTA Chinatown Wars

By kush 15 Comments

A brand new episode of Distributed Failure is now up for your listening displeasure! This week's episode is a bit odd, but we do have an extra special guest that our longtime listeners may remember. That's right, the one, the only, the hero has returned for a special guest appearance. Still lost on who I'm talking about? It's Brukaoru, the little lady who showed us how great the word "bundle" could be.

This week's episode features some in depth discussion on Resident Evil 5 and GTA: Chinatown Wars, as well as our thoughts on MadWorld, Killzone 2 (after I finally beat the game), Suikoden, Hasbro Family Game Night (fuck you Scrabble), Tales of the Abyss, and even more on Street Fighter IV. We follow that up with some listener questions and then end the show with our latest "Question of the Week".


I hope you guys enjoy this episode and hopefully my editing is good enough to please all your "earholes" out there (I'm not the usual editor). Don't forget to come back next week for episode #50!...My God, we are officially becoming old geezers!

Podcast - DF #48: Killzone 2 Does Not = Greatest FPS Ever

By kush 23 Comments

We're back for another week of utter awesomeness, mostly thanks to the "poo-mans" absence. That's right, this week you're stuck with only Rob and Kush whether you like it or not! We start off the show, like every other week, with "What We've Been Playing" and I get interrupted by the phone call that never dies. We talk about Wheelman, Ninja Blade, Peggle on XBLA, Crystal Defenders, Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, Killzone 2 (yet again), and plenty more.

After "What We've Been Playing", we jump into a little gaming news including the Nintendo DS breaking 100M world-wide sales, as well as Bioshock 2 speculation. We then go into "The Sausage Dump", which is our new segment dedicated to all things not related to video games. This week's Sausage Dump revolves around our thoughts on the Watchmen film and how Rob is completely wrong and smoking too much crack. We end the show with the "Question of the Week" and discuss why film-to-game and game-to-film adaptations rarely work (and if that trend will ever stop). EDITED out retardedness.


Thanks for listening to our little podcast as always and be sure to check back next week for Gus' glorious return. Below is next week's all new Question of the Week from yours truly:

QotW (3/19/09): "What is more important in a video game: The gameplay, or the story? Can a game still survive if it has great gameplay, but not story (and vice-versa)?" ...I look forward to hearing the community's thoughts. :)

Podcast: DF #47: Killzone 2 = Greatest FPS Ever

By kush 36 Comments

At least that's what fellow podcaster Rob has to say on the subject of Killzone 2. The DF crew is back with returning guest, TheGamerGeek, and a bunch of nonsense to discuss. We start off the show with what we've been playing, which include: Killzone 2 (obviously), Afro Samurai, The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, Wanted: Weapons of Fate, WWE: Legends of WrestleMania, Watchmen: The End is Nigh, and much more.

We follow that up with some discussion on the recent used game explosion via Best Buy, Toys 'R Us, and Amazon, which leads to an interesting conversation on the good, the bad, and the ugly side of Gamestop. We finish off the show with the never-ending question that plagues this industry..."Are games art?" We give our answers, but you're just going to have to listen in order to find out.

Podcast: DF #46: One Year in the Making

By kush 51 Comments

It's been one year since the first episode of Distributed Failure. We've gone through a few changes and potentially killed ourselves numerous times, but we managed to survive through 46 episodes (and a few special editions). We start off this episode like any other show, with user questions and what we've been playing.

We discuss Afro Samurai, Killzone 2, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, Street Fighter IV, 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, and much more. We try to find words to describe the PSN game, Noby Noby Boy, but we only end up with references to floppy cocks...and no, I don't mean chickens. I'm actually referring to those little things you use when playing badminton. After we finish up with the penis talk, we reminisce on all our good (and bad) memories of our hated podcast. We also announce the winner of our contest, but you'll have to listen to see if you're the lucky winner!
