DrunkenGamer's Drinky Talky Thingy http://www.drunken-gamer.com Home of the DrunkenGamer & the Drinky Talky Thing Podcast Fri, 17 Feb 2012 20:53:56 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 A show where two avid gamers, get drunk and talk about the weeks gaming news. From all the console news about the PS3, 360 and even the Wii U to the latest happenings in the MMO & FPS world. Both DrunkenGamer & Gow have been games reviewers for nearly 4 years so have an interesting take on the gaming world as a result - they also like very much to get drunk, which in their case makes them rather amusing (or so their told people could just be being polite) DrunkenGamer yes DrunkenGamer paddy@thirteen1.com paddy@thirteen1.com (DrunkenGamer) Copyright © DrunkenGamer 2010 The Random Thoughts of the DrunkenGamer and some music to boot gaming, comedy, news, technology, rambling, drinking DrunkenGamer's Drinky Talky Thingy http://www.drunken-gamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Image.jpg http://www.drunken-gamer.com TV-MA UK Weekly Drinky Talky Thingy Episode #58: Sometimes I worry about Gow’s fragile little mind http://www.drunken-gamer.com/podcasts/drinky-talky-thingy-episode-58-sometimes-i-worry-about-gows-fragile-little-mind/ http://www.drunken-gamer.com/podcasts/drinky-talky-thingy-episode-58-sometimes-i-worry-about-gows-fragile-little-mind/#comments Fri, 17 Feb 2012 20:53:56 +0000 DrunkenGamer http://www.drunken-gamer.com/?p=856 Sometimes I worry about Gow and the pictures he sends me of penis shaped dogs

Sometimes I worry about Gow and the pictures he sends me

I really do. There are times when he skirts incredibly close to that line between simply being odd and being actually classified as ‘special’. Case in point the image to the right. Now while I will admit it is funny, the sheer amount of glee expressed by my co-host when he showed me it caused a little concern.

However the mental states of the hosts are not why you are here, well not the main reason anyway. Also I cant exactly take the piss to much, I played more of Robot Unicorn Attack: Evolution than any other game this week & left the music on.

The gaming news however is what you are really here for and this week there was a fair amount of stuff for us to get ranty about, which always makes for a good show. This week includes some news on Resident Evil 6, All the news to come out of the Activision Blizzard earnings call (including the latest on WoW’s subscription numbers), Double Fine’s Epic Kickstarter campaign & even some talk about classical music and game endings.

Anyway all that and much more in this episode of the Drinky Talky Thingy.

Ambulances of all sizes meet at the watering hole after a hard days saving lives

Firstly, I would like to welcome all of our new listeners to the show. Its always nice to officially say hello when we notice a large jump like this week.

Secondly, do let us know what you do and don’t like about the show, were constantly trying to work to improve it. That is why this week we tried a few new things, edited the intro as people had said it was too long, etc.

Some bits of it worked, other bits of it did not. But at least now we can say we tried and moved on.

Other than the experimenting, we managed to get some of the news talked about but my word wasn’t the gaming news depressing this week? Sony losing buckets of money, THQ laying people off all over the world, Bill Roper’s continued employment within the games industry. Its a wonder we didn’t end up in therapy after the show.

Yes, The DrunkenGamer was once a member of the mushroom kingdom

Yes, as I write this intro the clock has crossed the midnight mark so the DrunkenGamer is now officially another year older. This is something that I am not all that happy about, but its not like I can do much about so I will not dwell on it. All I will do is point to the shows Amazon wish list linked below.

Getting onto the point it was another great week for gaming news, so much so that our aim to keep the show down to less than an hour is failing badly. We will not give up though, perhaps next week we will do better.

In our defence there was a lot of stuff we needed to talk about, from the updated information on the Wii U Network & technical information to the fact that Zynga are still ripping games off faster than people removing a plaster, Everquest going free to play to Facebooks IPO. Sure there was also the usual off topic bullshit, such as Gow’s attempted at jingles and distractions caused by Oreo Chocolate Fudge Brownies – all this without proper internet access due to DrunkenGamer having reached his bandwidth cap for the month.

I do want to get in writing that I part way through the show made a bet/promise – if the Wii U is not re-branded as the NES or NESR ( NES Revolution) by the time it is officially released, I will donate and extra £10 to childsplay charity when it comes back round at the end of the year.

Anyway all that and much more in this episode of the Drinky Talky Thingy.

Even the hardened military guy has no idea what the hell is going on with this show

So every few weeks we get this sense that we have finally gained the skills to call ourselves proper podcasters, we congratulate ourselves on a good show, all that shit.

Then the podcasting gods take notice and choose to remind us ‘You are winging it, you have no idea what you are actually doing’ and throw us a curve-ball to remind us of place.

This time it was the fact that despite sounding perfectly fine to us while we were recording, Alec (who had joined us to talk about Resident Evil 6) had been recorded with so much reverb & crackle it was unreal.

So for only the 2nd or 3rd time in the history of the Drinky Talky Thingy, editing was done. Let me tell you there are so many buttons in Audition that do weird and wonderful things, its fun to play when you are drunk. Anyway I managed to clean up Alec’s audio to the point where you can actually hear what he is saying most of the time but be prepared to hear some crackle to his parts still.

How audio issues aside we did manage to get quite a lot covered in this show, obviously there was more news about SOPA, there was also a whole pile of Xbox rumours to talk about, we took the piss out of Zynga for ripping off Nimblebit’s Tiny Tower, I rambled on for a bit about Blizzard based news and we even had time at one point to debate why the hell everyone on our facebook friends lists is getting pregnant all of a sudden.

All that and much more in this episode of the Drinky Talky Thingy.

Does this really need a caption? Seriously just get in already we need to go!

Well in a week where some fairly major sites, this one included, took a stand against the insane SOPA & PIPA legislation only an equally insane post image would suffice.

Added to our love of Llama’s and you get this picture.

However the Llamas as good as they are come second to the gaming, nothing beats gaming in our affections not even our womenfolk!!

This week we managed to cover a great many gaming topics, from the rumours of Resident Evil 6 to the SOPA bullshit, from Project Fiona to Bill Ropers refusal to accept that he hasn’t been involved in a good game since Diablo. We even made time to fit in a discussion about the manliness of the Evony model, though I’m not entirely sure how that entered the conversation.

All that and much more in this episode of the Drinky Talky Thingy.

It seems that in our hands even the kids game Guess Who, can be turned into a drinking game. Cant wait for the next games night!

Well it is now officially 2012, the year when its all supposed to end if your one of those idiots that buy into the whole Mayan calendar bullshit.

The world will not end, I promise you. Mayan Calenders go way beyond 2012 for a start (in fact there is little evidence of one that stops there) but inferring end of the world from a calender – why you may as well use Dec 31st every year!

However, that’s not why you are here is it?

Well you will be happy to hear that a podcast was recorded and as much as things change, mostly they stay the same

This week saw our old friend Craig ‘TurkeySaladBoy’ Albeck taking on the role of co-host via skype from all the way down in London.

Gow is still having to take some time out from recording to look after his better half, but you will be happy to hear she is on the road to recovery. We wish her all the best.

But even though we were not in the same room, Craig & I managed to get quite a lot of the last weeks gaming news covered - things like the SOPA bullshit, The Ocean Marketting retard, New Wii U Appstore Rumors & a lot more besides.

Anyway enjoy this episode of the Drinky Talky Thingy.

She does this every year - buys me something I have to put together to keep me busy for the whole of Christmas day

Happy New Year!

Holy crap! We actually did it! We Actually made it through a full year of podcasting without missing a single week – sure some of them may have been a little short and others may have been a day or so late but they were there dammit!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for listening to our drunken ramblings for the last year, we have slowly been gaining listeners over the year and while we are still only a tiny podcast were still amazed that there is anyone out there at all listening too us. Seriously we are just a bunch of people having a drink and recording the outcome while talking about our hobby, we never really expected it to gain even a small following.

Looking forward to the new year, there are ideas in our heads on how to make things even more fun for you listeners – we will hopefully be able to give you more details about this soon.

But till next week (and technically next year as well) We have thrown together the obligatory clips show of some of the funny bits of the last 50 episodes of the Drinky Talky Thingy to tide you over – enjoy

Also as always we are still taking suggestions for the mid podcast songs. So if you have a suggestion for song to be included in the podcast then put it in the comments of this post or send them too @DrunkenGamer or @D_Gow . They will be put on the short-list and you will be mentioned in the podcast itself when played

Anyway enjoy this episode of the Drinky Talky Thingy.

Also for while now listeners have been asking for a way to buy us a beer and help us get drunk for their amusement, well now we have found a way. We have set up an Amazon wish list full of beer and sugary things that you can send to us (trust us were just as funny hyper as drunk). Anyone that does so can send any message with their beer and we will say it in the show. Amazon.co.uk: Drinky Talky Thing

Happy Christmas one and all!

Ok with that out of the way its time for an admission – I have a problem! No, it’s not the drinking, I am more than happy with the state of affairs in that area.

It’s my obsessive need to release a podcast every week without fail. Even this week where gow was otherwise engadged and I was in no fit state to be recording one had to be done.

Sure its only 5 minutes long and is me apologising for the lack of a real episode – but dammit it counts! Next weeks will also be a clip show – so if you have any suggestions – then let us know

However we were planning to record so all the topics we would have covered in the show are available after the jump.

I may have got a little bit bored in the Christmas section at Hobbycraft

Well after last week forgetting pretty much everything due to meme’s, this week I remember pretty much all of it due to drugs. Not illegal ones obviously but due to having a toothache so bad that I have ended up requiring both antibiotics & heavy painkillers, I thought drinking would be ill-advised.

So after months of trying to deny it I realised I had turned into a Sony Fanboy, Both me and Gow had a brain fart when it comes to the games of Insomniac & Naughty Dog and I complained about my self-inflicted pain.

There was also a whole pile of gaming news and as always links to almost all the topics covered in tonight’s show are available after the jump.

Also as always we are still taking suggestions for the mid podcast songs. So if you have a suggestion for song to be included in the podcast then put it in the comments of this post or send them too @DrunkenGamer or @D_Gow .

Well after last week forgetting pretty much everything due to meme's, this week I remember pretty much all of it due to drugs. Not illegal ones obviously but due to having a toothache so bad that I have ended up requiring both antibiotics & heavy painkillers, I thought drinking would be ill-advised. So after months of trying to deny it I realised I had turned into a Sony Fanboy, Both me and Gow had a brain fart when it comes to the games of Insomniac & Naughty Dog and I complained about my self-inflicted pain. There was also a whole pile of gaming news and as always links to almost all the topics covered in tonight's show are available after the jump.

Fly my pretties, Fly......oh shit! Nevermind

Ok every week I tell you I have forgotten much of what we talked about, mere moments after we have finished recording. No while sometimes that is just an excuse to not have to write a proper intro paragraph for these things, normally it is true.

Alcohol is usually to blame, sleeping after afore mentioned alcohol comes a close second however tonight falls into category 3 – The Internet!

Due to Dusty Monk starting a thread about Leek Spin we spent the 20 minutes after the recording watching the wonders that were that, the Llama song, Foamy the squirell, Weebls stuff & The internet is made of cats. (https://plus.google.com/u/0/117068783534087330802/posts/NwY53Kqp9MQ)

Seriously its a wonder I even remembered to make this post.

Anyway on to the podcast and as always links to almost all the topics covered in tonight’s show are available after the jump.

Also as always we are still taking suggestions for the mid podcast songs. So if you have a suggestion for song to be included in the podcast then put it in the comments of this post or send them too @DrunkenGamer or @D_Gow .

Movember may have ended but the Moustache lives on

Well it seems that we may have annoyed the podcast gods last week by having the extra host, as this week we were back to just me for the first time in quite a while.

This is because Gow’s partner Fiona has been very unwell recently, so I told him to stay at home and look after her. I’m sure we all hope she gets well soon.

One thing that has changed this week is that Movember has come to an end, however to balance that a little something new is that the Moustache grown during that month remains. I have come to like having the lip warmer and plan on keeping it for a while at least – probably just long enough to get some embarrassing pictures to terrify any kids I have with when they are teenagers :)

Well another week another episode of the podcast and boy was it a good one – after months of chasing him to come back and join us, we were finally rejoined by the legendary TurkeySaladBoy.

It is always a good laugh to get Craig involved because he brings such a  different take on gaming, being the only one of us that really still works in the industry. It also gives us a new take on some of our old arguments.

Oh, and the reason the podcast picture this week is actually a video – well part way through the show I messed about with the Just Dance 3: Autodance App and made one of the most epic videos of Gow & Craig you are ever likely to see.

Were all still growing Moustaches for Movember so you want to help us in our good cause then you can donate to us for our madness at http://mobro.co/DrunkenGamer.

Anyway on to the podcast and as always links to almost all the topics covered in tonight’s show are available after the jump.

Also as always we are still taking suggestions for the mid podcast songs. So if you have a suggestion for song to be included in the podcast then put it in the comments of this post or send them too @DrunkenGamer or @D_Gow . They will be put on the short-list and you will be mentioned in the podcast itself when played

Anyway enjoy this episode of the Drinky Talky Thingy.

Not entirely sure what PETA were thinking with this advert - I want meat more not less now!

As you know there would normally be an intro here that was in some way related to something that we said during the podcast however this week we ran late recording, and I had visitors on Friday night – So as I have slept twice since then what was said during the podcast is a complete blur too me.

All I can be certain of is that we talked gaming news, took the piss out of each other, fucked up at some point during recording and got drunk. Seeing as I remember the hangover Friday morning the last one is a certainty.

Ok Saints Row 3, you will I'll buy a copy just leave Mr fluffyboots alone!

Its taken 11 months of trying, but after 44 episodes we finally did it. We have finally stopped an episode of the podcast at an exact second!!

Seriously, this podcast is 2hrs 5 minutes and 00.000 seconds long. I have been aiming for that level of perfection ever since Gow mentioned his OCD regarding this matter and infected me with it

You will also notice that this week we finally got a soundboard working, now were not sure if its working correctly – were hoping that you guys will tell us if it is not but its there so listen out for it.

Other than there there is the usual mix of gmaing news and myself and Gow going off topic along the way.

I hope my Moustache is this epic by the end of Movember!

Well were here another week in and good news people, I did not have to record this episode of the podcast all alone. No, thankfully Gow was back this week.

However before we start on the podcast I want to take a bit of a detour. This month is most commonly known as November, however for the last few years it has been also known as Movember. This is due to a charity event aimed at raising awareness of men’s health, particularly prostate cancer, by having thousands of men worldwide grow a moustache.

Now normally I am fully bearded & Gow just simply does not seem to be able to grow facial hair at all, however we have both agreed to join in on this years event and will be growing moustaches for the cause.

If you want to help us in our good cause then you can donate to us for our madness at http://mobro.co/DrunkenGamer.

Anyway on to the podcast and as always links to almost all the topics covered in tonight’s show are available after the jump.

Also as always we are still taking suggestions for the mid podcast songs. So if you have a suggestion for song to be included in the podcast then put it in the comments of this post or send them too @DrunkenGamer or @D_Gow . They will be put on the short-list and you will be mentioned in the podcast itself when played

Anyway enjoy this episode of the Drinky Talky Thingy.

Also for while now listeners have been asking for a way to buy us a beer and help us get drunk for their amusement, well now we have found a way. We have set up an Amazon wish list full of beer and sugary things that you can send to us (trust us were just as funny hyper as drunk). Anyone that does so can send any message with their beer and we will say it in the show. Amazon.co.uk: Drinky Talky Thing

If I were a Turret is be the fat bugger in the middle!

Well this is a first for the Drinky Talky Thingy podcast – A completely sober one!!

Yes you heard that right, unfortunately this week Gow was once again ill so was unable to join in with the recording. To compound things I was also on medication that meant he was not allowed to drink. I will let you guess how happy I was about that!

However as always the show must go on, My OCD will not allow a week to be missed. Not until we take our winter break anyway. At least I managed to get most of this weeks news covered for you.

Another week and another podcast is recorded.

Were well into the year now and there is only one overriding fact we have learnt along the way, a soundboard must be sorted out and soon. We tried to add a single sound effect into this weeks cast and well to say it was a failure is selling it short.

This is what life with the DrunkenGamer can do to your mind

This week unfortunately was one of those rare weeks where Gow could not make it. I personally think he went to the fair, but who can blame him toffee apples are quite the attraction.

However the podcast must go on, I really think that the compulsion to get an episode out each week is starting to border on the obsessive. Anyway I was out of luck arranging a co-host this week, Alec was working nights & Craig had previous commitments, So I set to the task of doing a solo podcast.

I even managed to get to the release date round up before realising I had an instant co-host sat less than 20 feet away. After weeks as only being the occasional background noise I managed to get Mrs DrunkenGamer (Jo) to sit close enough to the mic to be heard. She then deliberately tried to be silly but that was exactly I was expecting.

Anyway as always links to almost all the topics covered in tonight’s show are available after the jump.

Also as always we are still taking suggestions for the mid podcast songs. So if you have a suggestion for song to be included in the podcast then put it in the comments of this post or send them too @DrunkenGamer or @D_Gow . They will be put on the short-list and you will be mentioned in the podcast itself when played

Anyway enjoy this episode of the Drinky Talky Thingy.

And as one the Hipsters of the world felt, well you wouldn't have heard of the feeling they felt.

So, one thing we have learnt is that not even the DrunkenGamer is immune to tiredness.

This weeks podcast may be a little more scatological than normal, after a few weeks of long days and nights worth of work my brain may just be coming to its natural limits. Not that I would let that stop me recording an episode of the podcast.

I think I was not alone  in my tiredness either as, as hard as it is to tell at times, Gow also seemed even more distractable than normal.

Somehow we still managed to cover a whole pile of games from Battlefield 3 to Uncharted 3, SpaceChem to Dead Space 3…that’s a lot of threes. We even manage to find the time to pay our respects to Steve Jobs who unfortunately passed away this week.

Anyway as always links to almost all the topics covered in tonight’s show are available after the jump.

Gow has developed a near sexual fascination with Llama's, I think I may need to get him some help!

Right time for a bit of honesty – we really are not in any way, shape or form professional when it comes to these podcasts. Though for any repeat listeners this is probably common knowledge by now.

The reason I mention that in this cast is that even after 38 episodes, I am still not even sure what we called the damn thing.

For all this time in all the posts and mentions of it I have been refering to it as the Drinky Talky Thing, yet apparently verbally in the podcast itself Drinky Talky Thingy is its name.  Admittedly its only a very subtle difference, but it is important none the less.

But the good news is that from here on in I will know the correct name and refer to it as such in all forms.

This has to be the post picture knowing how much Alec thinks this avatar makes him look like a manga villain

Worry not regular listeners, when you listen to this weeks podcast you are not losing the plot.

This week unfortunately Gow could not make it due to having a lot to sort out at his new house, instead stepping into the breach and saving me from having to do another solo podcast (seriously none of us enjoy that do we) we have Alec-Ross Bower.

This is the same Alec that we take the piss out of on a regular basis, the same Alec that Gow has the personal FPS feud with, The same Alec that after nearly 3 years of knowing him I still keep calling Alex. Despite all that he agreed to help me out.

It has been a long while since he was last a guest host on the podcast, but for those of you that have joined us recently all you need to know is that he is a good friend and co-writer over at Thirteen1, where among other things he reviews game soundtracks.

Hopefully he will be able to join us more regularly in the future, as its good to get another opinion on the weeks news.

Anyway as always links to almost all the topics covered are after the jump.

Also as always we are still taking suggestions for the mid podcast songs. So if you have a suggestion for song to be included in the podcast then put it in the comments of this post or send them too @DrunkenGamer or @D_Gow .

It took a while but the epic MacGuyver Mic has been surpassed

I am not sure what is in this beer but I have to say that TangleFoot by the Badger brewery is certainly memorable.

Even if it is only for the reaction it had to Gow’s system – something about this beer actually turned him into Ranty McRanterson!

It didn’t matter what the story was he found something that annoyed him and he went off the deep end – strangely I think this was a good thing but only time will tell.

Well we got every other meme into the podcast, you dont think we would leave out the Y U NO guy did you?

I don’t want to tell you how im feeling….sorry, I have that damn Rick Astley song stuck in my head as it has been a podcast full of meme’s.

From dramatic chipmunk to all your base, I would be surprised if we missed one. when were not wasting time on old meme’s we managed to get a bit of gaming news filled in from the free-to-play conversion of Star Trek Online to the beta of Diablo III, we even found time for a bit of piss-taking at Fox News expense.

How dare they sell out of date pastry products!!

There is a small part of my brain that tells me I should really write these intros before we do the recording – that or leave the uploading till after I have had a chance to sober up a bit. That however would destroy the fun of trying to come up with these while half cut!

This weeks podcast was another one of those occasions where, if there ever was a track if was very much left behind – I think we even broke our personal best as to how early into the episode we lost track of what we were talking about.

When we were on topic we covered all kinds of things from the Deus Ex vs GameStop argument to the Secret world beta launch, I think we even found time to talk DRM and the future of Steam!

But the main thing remember is that Gow wouldn’t shut up about This story, so it became the route of many jokes during the show.

As always links to almost all the topics covered are after the jump.

Also as always we are still taking suggestions for the mid podcast songs. So if you have a suggestion for song to be included in the podcast then put it in the comments of this post or send them too @DrunkenGamer or @D_Gow . They will be put on the short-list and you will be mentioned in the podcast itself when played

Llama, Llama, Duck

I always seem to come up with some excuse about why I can’t remember what was talked about less that 20 minutes ago – this week I am simply going to blame Gow.

He insisted on playing the damn Llama song right after we finished recording and now all that I can think of seeing to revolve around that song!

fortunately though, thanks to all the links below i know that we covered a great many topics such as the DRM issues of From Dust to the OnLive codes in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. We even managed to squeeze in some World of Warcraft, Diablo 3 and Battlefield 3.

As always links to almost all the topics covered are after the jump.

Also as always we are still taking suggestions for the mid podcast songs. So if you have a suggestion for song to be included in the podcast then put it in the comments of this post or send them too @DrunkenGamer or @D_Gow . They will be put on the short-list and you will be mentioned in the podcast itself when played

Anyway enjoy this episode of the Drinky Talky Thing.

God knows why but Gow loved this little guy

Well we may have passed the 30 podcast mark but that in no way means were going to take this any more seriously.

If we were I would have remembered that tis week was gamescom and planned ahead to have more episodes and covered more of the gaming news that came out of the event.

As it is I dont think we were faired too badly covering thing s from the news about Arkham city to the price drops of both the Wii & PS3.

More importantly There was last weeks competition – well after all that we could not pick between the top three and will give all of them with a game each at random - that’s just how generous we are

And that Gow, is how baby street sweepers are made!

Ok, some part of me knows that the VitaLite stuff will make absolutely no sense at all to our none English listeners, but it’s too much fun to pass up.

But as always that was only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to our offtopic ramblings – however we do manage to get some gaming news covered along the way from the Diablo III chaos to the bankruptcy of team bondi and even disagreement between Bethesda & notch.

As always links to almost all the topics covered are after the jump.

Who says chocolate teapots can't be useful? Whoever they are, tell them we think their wrong!!

You know what, I think both me and Gow are starting to lose the plot.

Seriously I think we managed to spend the first few minutes debating whether or not a chocolate teapot would be a practical hot drink creation/containment vessel. I think we finally came down on the side of yes but only were the chocolate substantially thick enough and perhaps dual layered with a vacuüm in between for insulation.

When we were not talking about random shite like that we also managed to talk about a bunch of this weeks gaming news from the Diablo 3 fansite visit to the 3DS price drop and even a bit on Baattlefield 3.

Ok I will readily admit, we finished recording Episode 29 less that 45 minutes ago as I write this intro – but were you to quiz me on exactly which topics we covered along the way I would not be able to completely answer.

I mean at some point we were taking the piss out of Marks and Spencer adverts (or just drooling at the boobies contained within) later I remember mention of Magical Trevor.

Anyway despite our off topic ramblings, which seemed to be numerous during this episode, we did actually manage to fit in a lot of gaming news. From Arkham City to  VVVVV, it all got a mention somewhere along the lines – in fact links to almost all the topics covered are after the jump.

Also as always we are still taking suggestions for the mid podcast songs. So if you have a suggestion for song to be included in the podcast then put it in the comments of this post or send them too @DrunkenGamer or @D_Gow . They will be put on the short-list and you will be mentioned in the podcast itself when played

Anyway enjoy this episode of the Drinky Talky Thing.

No matter how old he gets or what he tries, Gow will always look no more that 12 years old ...Annoying ain't it!

Well a week has passed so it is once again time for another podcast, so one has been recorded.

This week however it was just DrunkenGamer behind the mic, as the day of recording was actually Gows birthday.

As happens on these occasions, rather than leave you out in the cold without an episode of the podcast, we record it solo – the downside to this is that without someone to talk too the pocast is about half its usual length.

Now as this thing is bordering the two and a half hour mark each week a shorter one every now and again is probably a welcome break.

Links to almost all the topics covered are after the jump.

Also as always we are still taking suggestions for the mid podcast songs.

This, is exactly what the podcast felt like last night

So, Last week we tried to do this podcast live, and due to my retardism (having put the fan in backwards in my case causing my pc to overheat) things did not go as smoothly as we would have liked.

So for that reason we agreed that we would do it live again, its only fair as we did say we would.

There is only one word to describe the outcome however: FAIL!

We were live for the first 20 minutes of the podcast before we realised that our sound was not just intermittent – in parts it was just completely absent.

If you want to see that failure we have left it online for all to see over at DrinkyTalkyThing on USTREAM: . Fortunately we did also have the Audio recording software on the go so that at least got recorded, but even that is not without its flaws.

Firstly for some reason, Gow mac decided to record the thing in a higher bit rate than normal, which while sounding like a good thing is actually a pain. Then to cap it off it had only recorded a single channel of sound so the podcast had to be output in mono.

That’s not going to stop us releasing it though, so just bear with us and we will be back up to standard next week (we hope)

Links to almost all the topics we covered are after the jump.

Also as always we are still taking suggestions for the mid podcast songs. So if you have a suggestion for song to be included in the podcast then put it in the comments of this post or send them too @DrunkenGamer or @D_Gow . They will be put on the short-list and you will be mentioned in the podcast itself when played

Anyway enjoy this episode of the Drinky Talky Thing.

Gow & Paddy enjoying a fire while drunk

Why, Oh, Why, did I come to the conclusion that for our 6 month anniversary episode a live podcast would be a good idea?

I mean seriously what the hell was I drinking? Oh that’s right it will have been Guinness as always as this idea came up about episode 16 or so.  Since then I have been silently dreading the oncoming approach of our 6 month mark, while at the same time also relishing the prospect.

I mean seriously I don’t think either myself or Gow thought that we would actually manage an unbroken streak of this long or if we did we seriously doubted we would still have any listeners left, but here we are.

However I think that is enough stalling, despite 2 computer failures and the addition of Pimms much live podcasting was done. We would like to thank everyone that joined us in the chat even if you did derail us a few times.  For the people who could not join us live, all the parts of the cast are available for viewing at  DrinkyTalkyThing on USTREAM: . The normal podcast will be out in the next day or so once I’ve converted the videos.  [Update] Audio version of the podcast is now available.

Links to almost all the topics we hope to cover are after the jump.

Also as always we are still taking suggestions for the mid podcast songs. So if you have a suggestion for song to be included in the podcast then put it in the comments of this post or send them too @DrunkenGamer or @D_Gow . They will be put on the short-list and you will be mentioned in the podcast itself when played

Anyway enjoy this episode of the Drinky Talky Thing.

Oh that's right it will have been Guinness as always as this idea came up about... Why, Oh, Why, did I come to the conclusion that for our 6 month anniversary episode a live podcast would be a good idea? I mean seriously what the hell was I drinking? Oh that's right it will have been Guinness as always as this idea came up about episode 16 or so.  Since then I have been silently dreading the oncoming approach of our 6 month mark, while at the same time also relishing the prospect. I mean seriously I don't think either myself or Gow thought that we would actually manage an unbroken streak of this long or if we did we seriously doubted we would still have any listeners left, but here we are. However I think that is enough stalling, despite 2 computer failures and the addition of Pimms much live podcasting was done. We would like to thank everyone that joined us in the chat even if you did derail us a few times.  For the people who could not join us live, all the parts of the cast are available for viewing at  DrinkyTalkyThing on USTREAM: . (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/drunkengamer) The normal podcast will be out in the next day or so once I've converted the videos.  [Update] Audio version of the podcast is now available. Links to almost all the topics we hope to cover are after the jump. Also as always we are still taking suggestions for the mid podcast songs. So if you have a suggestion for song to be included in the podcast then put it in the comments of this post or send them too @DrunkenGamer (http://twitter.com/#!/DrunkenGamer) or @D_Gow (http://twitter.com/#!/D_Gow). They will be put on the short-list and you will be mentioned in the podcast itself when played Anyway enjoy this episode of the Drinky Talky Thing.

Not sure which is me and which is Gow in this picture, but this is still funny

Well for reasons beyond our control this week Gow could not be on site to record this weeks podcast.

However we were not about to let that stop us completing an unbroken run of nearly 6 months, So god bless the wonder that is Skype!

Unfortunately after listening back to the recording , its seems that while I may have heard one thing over my headphones, the system was recording something much louder.

There are times when Gow sounds like one of those roving reporters you see on the 24hr news, in some war-torn country.

Despite that audio glitch we have decided to publish anyway.

Also we’re still taking suggestions for the mid podcast songs. So if you have a suggestion for song to be included in the podcast then put it in the comments of this post or send them too @DrunkenGamer or @D_Gow . They will be put on the short-list and you will be mentioned in the podcast itself when played

Anyway enjoy this episode of the Drinky Talky Thing.

Thank lord for that, I didnt have to do two weeks ruuning on my own. Gow managed to drag himself away from his work to podcast this week.

No that it means this episode makes any more sense than any of the others, god I think we went of topic even more than usual this week.

However between our random ramblings about things Gow missed and the possible future of gaming we managed to get some news in and even a song.

So E3 has come and gone but as always that leaves us with far too much news to cover.

That’s why this weeks podcast is pretty much filled with follow-ups, which makes it a shame that unfortunately Gow had to work so couldn’t be here for recording.

That means it’s another speedy run-through of the key articles, just to make sure that you don’t have to go a week without the news.

As always we’re still taking suggestions for the mid podcast songs. So if you have a suggestion for song to be included in the podcast then put it in the comments of this post or send them too @DrunkenGamer or @D_Gow . They will be put on the short-list and you will be mentioned in the podcast itself when played.

MacGuyver Ain't got shit on the DrunkenGamer

Well were back, by that I mean the DrunkenGamer is back. Back from Corfu and shockingly with not even the remotest sign of having a tan.

However this week was E3 week, so even though we tried to keep the podcast to a normal length such a task was clearly impossible. If we missed anything from E3 so far, we will probably mention it in next weeks podcast.

Suffice to say that this podcast is longer and more rambling than any other in Drinky Talky Thing history, rolling in at a massive 2hrs 44minutes.

We have however done our best to cover as much of E3 as has happened before this podcast went to the studio (Paddy’s living-room) as we humanly can.

As always we’re still taking suggestions for the mid podcast songs. So if you have a suggestion for song to be included in the podcast then put it in the comments of this post or send them too @DrunkenGamer or @D_Gow . They will be put on the short-list and you will be mentioned in the podcast itself when played.

Gow - Forever alone. Well, at least until next week.

Well it was bound to happen. Paddy jumped ship (plane) and jetted across to the other side of the world leaving a geek with social problems in charge of the podcast… But what could go wrong?

It turns out a solo podcast is a tricky beast. Never again will I ridicule The DrunkenGamer’s monotone ramblings on the solo front, even if it does drone as much to put a caffeine fuelled, ADHD-suffering child to sleep. I hope you all enjoy, enough to make you want to come back next week when things will be back on track and the mighty duo will be back in full force. Note, by mighty duo, I mean myself and the DrunkenGamer – we’re not being replaced.

This week we’ve got a plethora of gaming news. So much more than we’d usually cover, purely for the fact that this podcast is waffle-free. It’s hard to waffle solo. Instead we have nothing but 58 (ish) news articles jammed into a little over an hour. Oh, and a song.

We’re still taking suggestions for the mid podcast songs. So if you have a suggestion for song to be included in the podcast then put it in the comments of this post or send them too @DrunkenGamer or @D_Gow . They will be put on the short-list and you will be mentioned in the podcast itself when played

Anyway enjoy this episode of the Drinky Talky Thing.

With her as the medic, I think I would get shot a lot more often

All I have to say about tonight’s podcast is that I have no idea where the random curly hair came from. It may have been what Gow thought it was it may have been something else, further investigation was not worth considering.

Strangely for the last two weeks both myself and Gow seem to have been more affected by the beer than normal.

We seem to go off track a lot more regularly each week than we did before, no that its a bad thing obviously. Some of our more entertaining stuff is when we go off on one.

Seems that Gows friends have also lost the plot again, I’m really not sure if some of the random words he had to fit in were even real words.

Anyway we managed to fit them in and between bouts of what I will henceforth classify as ‘podcast touretts’ we also managed to cover most of what is linked below.

We’re also still taking suggestions for the mid podcast songs. So if you have a suggestion for song to be included in the podcast then put it in the comments of this post or send them too @DrunkenGamer or @D_Gow .

Does this image really need a caption?

Moving house is a royal pain in the ass!

Not only does it require far more physical effort than I like to use in an entire year, you can never find stuff after you move .

Another problem is that it always takes so much longer than you would expect, which is why my PC is still packed away under a stack of boxes that was once my desk….I think.

Not wanting to skip a weeks podcast, we instead set ourselves up at Gow’s place.

However it did mean that once again this intro in not written right after recording, however I have listened to part of it and have to say I seem a little more drunk than normal.

Anyway that should be enough stalling, feel free to leave your suggestions for the podcast in the comments.

We’re also still taking suggestions for the mid podcast songs. So if you have a suggestion for song to be included in the podcast then put it in the comments of this post or send them too @DrunkenGamer or @D_Gow .

This was exactly the look Gow gave me when I tried to explain the previous podcast title

Well for weeks now I have said that I should write these intros as soon as were done recording.

Well for once I have managed it, which is good as I really would have forgotten about the lemur.

This podcast was originally going to be titled ‘Double the Random’ as this week Gow had the same random word suggested twice.

However while we were listening to the break song, I set that and he stared at me like a confused lemur.

Fortunately you guys don’t have to be confused as everything we talked about is linked below.

Another regular feature got a revamp this week as well – the mid podcast songs. From here on in they will always be suggestions from listeners.

So if you have a suggestion for song to be included in the podcast then put it in the comments of this post or send them too @DrunkenGamer or @D_Gow . They will be put on the short-list and you will be mentioned in the podcast itself when played

Ahh the classic baking soda volcano experiment, can lead to some great pranks if you know how

Well that just goes to prove a point I guess, even after 17 weeks of recording and uploading this podcast is still possible to make some Grade-A beginners mistakes.

With so much going on at the minute I didn’t think to check the MP3 after it was output, unfortunately this time without any reason to do so (beyond being an Adobe product) it only output the first 30 minutes of the recording.

So basically the whole thing was 30 minutes of us bitching about Sony!

However that’s now sorted and here instead is the Full Fat, Complete version of Episode #17 of the Drinky Talky Thing

—

This has been a bad week for anyone who owns a PS3 or has ever had a Sony Online account – so bad that for the first time this year a whole segment of the show was dedicated to the news about it.

However there is plenty of other news out there and we once again have recorded our thoughts on some of the highlights.

One thing I haven’t said a while, is that we are always interested in your opinions on the show. We may be 17 weeks in but were still looking to improve and change things up where needed.

Well that just goes to prove a point I guess, even after 17 weeks of recording and uploading this podcast is still possible to make some Grade-A beginners mistakes. With so much going on at the minute I didn't think to check the MP3 after it was output, unfortunately this time without any reason to do so (beyond being an Adobe product) it only output the first 30 minutes of the recording. So basically the whole thing was 30 minutes of us bitching about Sony! However that's now sorted and here instead is the Full Fat, Complete version of Episode #17 of the Drinky Talky Thing --- This has been a bad week for anyone who owns a PS3 or has ever had a Sony Online account - so bad that for the first time this year a whole segment of the show was dedicated to the news about it. However there is plenty of other news out there and we once again have recorded our thoughts on some of the highlights. One thing I haven't said a while, is that we are always interested in your opinions on the show. We may be 17 weeks in but were still looking to improve and change things up where needed.

The cake is definitely not a lie! I know, me and the wife made it this week

Well this episode of the Podcast was actually rather a close call.

On Monday the power supply committed Seppuku and put my PC out of commission.

Thankfully though Gow, being the supergeek he is, happened to have a spare power supply lying around that I have temporarily borrowed until me new one shows up.

As a result the sound may well be a little out in this episode as we only finished putting the machine back together less than 10 minutes before recording – We literally booted he machine up and  started audition.

Anyway, as always enjoy the podcast and let us know what you think

Sometimes its not worth thinking about reality

Oh the intro to the podcast posting, why do I not write you right after recording?

Beer + Sleep = Paddy forgetting what was supposed to be mentioned in the intro text. I know there was something we agreed on, something really funny, but its gone.

So instead I will simply leave you with an interesting picture of Kirby and the podcast to listen too.

Now if you don’t mind I finally have my copy of Portal 2 and I want to get back down to playing it.

Enjoy

Poor guy scribbles on a wall to warn you, but still gets nailed by some turrets.

Now here’s the thing, Gow did tell me I had to start this post with a word – but for the life of me I cant remember what it is.

I think it was one of the random word that he didn’t quite manage to fit in.

Anyway, this week saw Gow returning after a week off with some form of plague and the good news is the podcast got back to full length again.

So with all my needed stalling done enjoy this weeks podcast.

Ok, how did someone manage to get a picture of me first thing in the morning?

Well its been a while since I last had to do a podcast solo, unfortunately this week Gow was ill.

The one thing that has to be said – what the hell??

I remember that in the early episodes we would have trouble filling an hour when both of us were on form.

Now the podcasts last nearly 2 hours at the best of times and even when recording solo I’m pushing the 1hr mark.

Hopefully next week we will be back up to full strength, and as always links to everything in this episode are below.

So without further stalling for space, enjoy the cast

Its been a while since we built a beer tower during a podcast, but Gow just felt the need this week

Another week, another episode.

We are however getting a bunch of new visitors to the site recently so I should probably explain what it is.

I am Paddy ‘DrunkenGamer’ Fellows lead game reviewer at Thirteen1 magazine. My regular co-host is Dan ‘Gow’ Gowen who T1′s graphics guru for nearly 2 years.

Each week we get together and have a few beers while we talk about a bunch of the interesting gaming news, giving our take on events. Occasionally we will also be joined by our other friends for T1 and beyond.

Obviously having a bit of beer in us we do tend to lose track from time to time, but that is always fun.

If there is anything you here in the podcast that you want a little more detail on the links to all the sources we used are included here on the page after the player.

I think that about sums it up for now, there is nothing else to say but enjoy this episode of the Drinky Talky Thing!

Only Gow could be this bad at pouring a pint

Maybe I am just getting better at picking the news stories.
Perhaps there is just more news to cover.
More likely that we start drinking before the recording starts now.

Whatever the reason these podcasts are getting longer each week. This weeks nearly broke the 2 hour mark.

For that reason we would like to hear from any of our listeners.

If you think there is anything we could do better, anything we should perhaps cut, even anything you think we should add – leave us a message in the comments.

Now without further blurb, here is this weeks podcast

Spot the Batman, win a prize!

I have to admit that this is absolutely the last thing I expected to be posting this week was this – Welcome to the 10th Episode of the Drinking Talky Thing!!

I knew it would happen but it has only been 10 weeks since we decided to restart the podcast & the episode count at the same time.

But shockingly we have managed to keep recording for 10 weeks and I am now galvanised to continue – we made double figures there is no way this will be anything less that weekly from here on in (even if Gow has to record it solo at some point)

Well without further stalling for layout reasons here is the latest episode of the podcast

A large crisis. In fact, if you got a moment, it's a twelve-story crisis with a magnificent entrance hall, carpeting throughout, 24-hour portage, and an enormous sign on the roof, saying 'This Is a Large Crisis'. A large crisis requires a large plan. Get me two pencils and a pair of underpants

A large crisis requires a large plan. Get me two pencils and a pair of underpants

Don’t be fooled by the images there is no crisis, I just had to get the images in there to solve one of the random words that Alec got asked to add. It was unfortunately too late for the recording but there was no way ‘Wibble!’ was going to be missed out.

As you may have already guessed, as well as the return of Gow to help round out the podcast, this week also saw a return Alec-Ross Bower. He joins us for the later part of the episode and has some very interesting things to say.

But the good thing about that image is that I also don’t need to do as much padding  :) So without further time-wasting, here is this episode

WOW! Did I used to record these things on my own & sober?

With Gow away skiing in France & Craig living it up state-side at GDC – I was left completely without a co-host for the first time this year.

There were several people who offered to co-host, and I thank them all for their offers to help. Unfortunately being my last week at Omerta, I had to put in some extra time to get some things wrapped up. This meant a later than normal start to recording.

To everyone that offered I will contact you about co-hosting in the future as I have always thought about including guest hosts in the show.

So despite being shorter than normal and not really having as much randomness as normal – I hope you still enjoy this weeks episode.

So without further stalling, here it is.

Hopefully a final wrap up on the whole Bulletstorm story, RockPaperShotgun managed to get a response from the last of the experts in the original article.

This has nothing to do with the podcast, it just seemed like a good image

Well I would never have thought it possible if I had not actually experienced it.

Making a long overdue return to the podcast is our old friend Craig (aka TurkeySaladBoy) , seriously his presence has been missed.

I will in advance apologise for the slight audio issues in the second half of the podcast, so used to having only two people here for the recording I seem to have pulled the microphone too far forward.

This has resulted in a slightly echoed Gow for the second half of the podcast but he’s still understandable even when he tries to throw in his random Dutch words.

At this point in the intro however I am instantly regretting the choice of my podcast image for this episode as it seems there is a lot of space to fill in to make the podcast player fit into the post naturally.

But then that’s one of the good things about this site – I can admit when I messed up, so without out further stalling here is this weeks podcast.
