NooBTooB Forum

I know this has been and is going to be a weekly thing but is it going to be a set day each week or whenever you guys can get together?

We also realize the echo is still present - will work it out for next week.
(sorry smokestormX the voices are still in your head)
Remember to rate on itunes!

Erock, you shoulda listened the second it was released. First come first serve. ;)

We'll be trying harder for tougher questions next time. :D

So, I was speaking to Locke earlier and I said the show doesn't really need anymore criticism, but I was infact wrong - As much as I enjoy the modcast, I think it's just a bit too long, I think it's longer than the actual NooBTooB podcast, which seems a bit strange in my opinion.

Aside from my bitching, I had a blast listening to this week's episode, I think the game-donations to the Soldiers in Iraq is a really good idea, I can imagine how boring it would get there when your just sat around doing nothing, and things like this are really awesome.

You guys talk about the amount of space PS3 games take up on your HDD to install, games like DMC4 and Golf (don't remember the name) take 4-5GB - can you imagine future-games? - I think it's just insane, eventually all PS3-owners will run out of space, even the 120GB owners, if all games on the PS3 need to be installed from now on, that's going to completely rape your HDD. I have a PS3, so I have the right to say this without sounding like a total idiotic fanboy, but - Sony, you need to really need to improve things on the PS3.

*Whew*

Thanks for the modcast, keep up the work.

I am with Hammercraft here, in that I enjoy the length. Locke (from the west side), Sunflower, and Jam are guys that I could listen to probably as long as they can talk. Their chemistry just keeps growing and they're improving with each episode, just like Tobin and Yuzo. Great work guys, really enjoyed it. Sins sounds cool Jam, Definitely going to check it out.

We do have a feed, and we are being reviewed for iTunes. We have subscription details in the original post on this thread about how to subscribe to us before we're actually in the store, using iTunes.

Great show again guys. Cheers for answering my question.

The Total War games are awesome by the way and Empire: Total War is a must buy.

W00t, Episode 4: Now with more SmokestormX goodness: feel the velvet, baby!

I really enjoyed listening to this podcast, however I do think it might of been on the long side. Normally it's the longer the better for me, but prehaps sometimes you stood on the same topic for a might too long. I don't think you should restrict yourslef to a certain time, prehaps make it content dependant.

Aside from that I loved it (especially the part in which I was mentioned) and I look forward to more. I must go now, dangers afoot.. away!

Good news, we are now on the iTunes store! We love reviews so write em there too! :D I'm quite pleased to see us up there, just doing a search for Noobtoob will find you us! :D

As the format and structure of your modcasts continue to improve (there was a bit more overlapping of voices in this one, but that may only be a function of how it was recorded), I'm only left to comment on the actual content contained therein. Here, then, are a few of my thoughts on Episode 4:

"Today-ay-ay... Locke considers himself-elf-elf... the luckiest man-an-an... on the face of the earth-earth-earth." I couldn't help it.

Re: Half-Life 2:Episode 1—I agree with Locke that Half-Life 2: Episode 1 would NOT be worth a purchase on its own. Question to the mods: How much would you all pay for it? I would probably pay no more than $10 for that game on its own, but what say you?

Re: Pirates MMO and Names—What moron would name themselves a seemingly random string of letters and numbers? :cry:

Re: Culdsept SAGA—I fold under peer pressure. Like a flan in a cupboard.

Speaking of which, Re: CoD4 New Maps—“Could be anything…”… Jam, were you being Eddie Izzard and no one noticed??! I noticed. And I claim that reference for hp1703 *flag*

Re: CAG games for Troops in Iraq—Sunflower mentioned that the military guys have a lot of downtime, and I know this to be very true. My friend, a Staff Sergeant in the Air Force, taught himself how to do a Rubik’s cube while stationed in Afghanistan… and can now do it, completely scrambled to finish, in about three minutes. That required a lot of practice, so they have a LOT of downtime, for sure.

Re: Par15h’s unappreciated games question—Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem on the Gamecube. Just like how Jam hasn't finished one of his favorite games (mentioned in an earlier episode), I actually haven’t finished Eternal Darkness… but it’s a lovely mind-fuck of a survival horror type-game, perfect for a rainy evening or anytime you’re in a Halloween mood. This game has everything from casting spells and playing as multiple characters in multiple time periods, to convincing you (the gamer) that you’ve already beaten the game when you're only half-way through or telling you that your save file was lost. Brilliant. This game is hard to find, but if you can find it, check it out (I mentioned this to PocketMego a long time ago because I think he’d rather enjoy it, but he doesn’t/didn’t at that time have a Wii or a Gamecube).

Re: Smokstorm’s achievement question—For most games, (not all games, but most) I do read them ahead of time and actually put every achievement into an Excel spreadsheet (nerd!). I get most of my achievements in an anal retentive, structured manner. For a game like Mass Effect, though, I just let the game do the walking and only looked at them after I had finished the game. But for sports games and games I'm not worried about looking at the achievements ruining the plot, I look through them ahead of time and plug away at getting them.

Also, a wonderful and appropriate amount of me in this episode, which I, and everyone on the forums (and now on iTunes), appreciate. You are certainly giving the people what they want. And what a lovely Valentine’s gift for all the ladies. As everyone knows LLHP--Ladies Love HP.

Lastly, Sunflower… um… lookin’ good. Is that a new shirt? Looks great on you. And you’re smart. (How did you mean ‘buttering up’ exactly? Is this it? If not, that's still a nice shirt. Poly-cotton blend?)

[quote=ultimatecott]Lol I so agree with Sunflower, I also hated Alyx (fucking always in the goddamn way) Vance and I too shot her many times in the face hoping she would die! :twisted:

I was playing Ep 1 and Alyx died a stack of times on me when fighting zombies. Not sure how she did but I looked away for a few seconds and the game is like Alyx died.[/quote]

Yeah in the Australian version of the game Alyx isn't as good a shot. She also has eleven fingers and can't turn left :D Did she really die for you, I thought that wasn't possible.

To answer hp's question, I didn't intend to sound like Eddie Izzard there, but now that you point it out it is quite funny. And damn, why didn't I think of Eternal Darkness. That game is awesome. I really need to do a review of it.
