Yes, 100 percent less Andy this episode, as he’s in L.A. for a CoD4 event. Instead, Edie and Hawkes cover the week’s gaming news and go off on wild tangents. On the plus side, this episode may be Andy-free, but it has 100 percent MORE of Hawkes’ cat.
Topics discussed:
—The unusually large amount of games released this week, including The Darkness and The Bigs.
—Toys ‘R Us is holding a 3-for-2 sale on Nintendo DS games until this Saturday. U Bai Now!
—Microsoft sues Immersion back. If you can’t take it, don’t deal it!
—The new Hitman movie trailer… and yes, we blew it. It’s Agent 47. Stoopid internets.
- Square Enix says on one hand that it’s not releasing any games for PS3 until April 2008 at the very earliest. Then it says, baby, I’m sorry. The PS3 really is the only console it could ever love. Why does watching these two feel like family-night at Ike and Tina Turner’s place.
—A group of psychologists want to label video games as an addictive substance. Someone’s been sucking on the lead popsicles again….
—Larry Flint had hoped to fire the entire staff of Tips and Tricks magazine while they were all at E3. Too bad he fired the freelancers a week early and they told the staff. Don’t you hate when being a nice guy blows a really great evil plan? And isn’t it ironic that the guy who built his empire on other people s*cking c*ocks turns out to the the biggest c*cks*ucker of them all?
—Shadowrun for Vista has been cracked to run on XP. And there was much rejoicing. (yaaay!)
—Lyndon LaRouch, notorious conspiracy theorist and gay hater, and his merry band of crazy geezers are ticked because the final report on the Virginia Tech massacre doesn’t mention video games—despite the fact there’s been no evidence the shooter ever played games. LaRouch figures it’s… wait for it… A CONSPIRACY!!Ed. Note: Edie apologizes to for mistaking LaRouche as a guy who was notorious for anti-gay legislation. Actually, he is the freak who tried to get anti-gay legislation passed by California voters back in the 1980s that would have quarentined gays to prevent AIDS. I knew he smelled crazy…
—The 100th episode of Red vs. Blue! Gratz, guys!
Off-topic hits include Vin Diesel (breakdancing video here), Paris Hilton, porn (again), the iPhone, how to properly prepare for a night of binge drinking, Andy’s impending move, and… did we mention Hawkes’ cat?
If you want to hear it? Go get subscibe on iTunes already… ya slacker.
Direct link would be cool too, iTunes isnt my scene
No..I don’t like it either. iTunes can have very slow download speed sometimes, esp if the podcast was just newly released. I think this is going to be the direct link: http://media.libsyn.com/media/gamerandy/galiveep085.mp3
please tell me you are keeping the high pitched voices. I mean that is how the show needs to be done. It sounded like south park invaded and was doing the show.
damn surf control blocked, the download.. I’ll have to download it home… while the gta4 trailer appears on the web…
Damn the web is gonna be SLLLLOOOOWWWW tonight.
itunes is up,
sorry I got distracted - Um, high pitched voices?
Ya I have heard the chipmunks version of the show too, very interesting. If you downloaded it through iTunes then it is fine BUT if you click the link for GamerAndy on the Gear Live main Page or are getting it through RSS Feed then you get the high pitched version. I think it’s my favorite.

Oh lovely.. Guess next time I’ll have to sing: “Christmas, Christmas time is here.. time for toys, and time for cheer.”
Just about Shadowrun,
while it can now run on XP, only offline play works, I.E. against bots.
Episode 100 was great, wasn’t it? Or what did ye think?
With the three endings?
I cried.. FROM LAUGHTER.. It was awesome.. and it ended, with all plot holes not so neatly filled in.. I salute you sirs! I half expected a go to a restaurant thing a-la the Sopranos.

Favorite line: “Ow, dude, that was my heat sink. Now where the #### am in going to sink my heat?”
Timothy Olyphant plays Agent 47 in Hitman the movie and not Vin Diesel.
I don’t think either Hawkes or I suggested that. Vin Diesel was in the first topic of the show (new games) and Hitman was the first topic after the break.
Vin Diesel came up because he likened some game to Chronicles of Riddick…. and then I went on about my crush on Vin.
Ahhh… sweet Vin. I would happily make an Edie Sandwich out of Vin Diesel and Henry Rollins.
