eGamer Podcast #21

Welcome to episode twenty-one of the eGamer Podcast.

This week, we spent a great deal of time answering the metric ton of questions that you guys left for us, in the relevant article, earlier this week. That was awfully great of you guys, and we were happy to be of service. Apart from that however, we were without the star of the show, the venerable main attraction, the dynamite that comes in small packages (err…), our very own AG. So naturally this time around, we were overly-AG… what?

Here’s the show-notes for this week’s episode:

  • AG’s absence leaves a bomb-shaped hole in our hearts
  • Dean can’t have take-away
  • University exams
  • The Wii U launch
  • Hitman: Absolution
  • Gaming retail prices
  • Zombies
  • Cloud Atlas
  • Adam introduces us to Warm Bodies
  • How to repel the opposite sex
  • Reboot
  • Warning: Assassin’s Creed III spoilers: 49:00 – 52:00
  • #1ReasonWhy Twitter controversy
  • A movie about Steve Jobs
  • Questions — ALL of them

It might not seem so, but there was actually a lot of gaming-related talk this week, especially as we tried to answer all of the questions posed to us, some which took a long time to answer. Also sorry about my horrendous microphone quality. I am working on it.

    Oh no this podcast im still at the beginning stages and they are talking about the benefits of green tea, how hard it is to stop drinking coke etc..Lol seriously guys..:O

    I keep editing my post every time i come across something interesting.
    Azhar i didnt expect him to sound like Hashim..are you related..D:

    • Adam Meikle

      Yes we support healthy gaming lifestyles :D.

    • AG_Sonday

      Meh, I’ll stick to ice tea and water :D

    • Trebzz

      50 million questions seriously :/

    • CataclysmicDawn

      FIFA would be more awesome if you’d play your match against me already :/

      Also, many games have a huge social circuit, CoD is just one of those, but royal treatment? The game’s good but no.

    • AG_Sonday

      KInda forgot about that. We still need to have our match even though I already beat you :P

    • CataclysmicDawn

      Don’t forget I beat you too. :P And I didn’t even have to be a height-whore with Cavani :P

    • AG_Sonday

      Please, It was a sympathy win :P
      Don’t hate just because I chose the better team :P

    • CataclysmicDawn

      Then get online so I can beat you down :P

    • AG_Sonday

      Maybe I will :P

    • http://egamer.co.za/ Azhar Amien

      Battlefield, Counter-Strike, DotA…many games do that exact thing. I didn’t mean royalty treatment the way you’re thinking :P I think I said it later on, what I meant.

      Haha I’m not related to him at all :P Agreed about BioWare.

      Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for listening! :D

  • CataclysmicDawn

    Cavie, I see what you did there with that first comment on AG xD
    I was listening to this, and had corn flakes :P

    Skipped AC3, can afford Far Cry 3 :D
    Can we have this link to the next twilight-esque horrific movie so we can laugh too?

    The attached image is Cavie’s reaction to Michael’s Q :D
    But that #1ReasonWhy tag was honestly frighteningly bad…

    And Cavie, you need a new mic O_O

      I don’t even remember the last time I chised Peloma. Now that I found out she’s older than I am, not even remotely /care. Hola mi amigo :D/

    • CataclysmicDawn

      Yeah, she’s pretty ancient.

    • Pea_Peralta

      LOL FUUUUUUUUUUU when does being 23 seem ancient..D:

    • AG_Sonday

      You’re as old Dean, I think O_o

    • Pea_Peralta

      Uhmm yeah..is that like a curse thing..o.O

    • AG_Sonday

      LOL, nah just an interesting comparison – he hasn’t faired as well :P

    • Pea_Peralta

      Lol

    • AG_Sonday

      Fuck, Jewboy just used coloured terminology -____________-

    • Pea_Peralta

      Lol that pic is stoooopid, its stoopid on my walll and its stooopid now..

    • CataclysmicDawn

      No, this pic is stupid

  • http://twitter.com/MatuMikey Michael Matusowsky

    OMFG… Can you guys stop talking all at once G_G.

    • http://egamer.co.za/ Azhar Amien

      It’s impossible to be in psychic sync without seeing each other, sozzles :P

  • wolftrap01

    wow that podcast cured my hangover. the “who is a glitch” question was a joke, thanks for answering it though.

    They are making a movie about Steve Jobs for the same reason they made a movie about Mandela and other iconic figures – they are popular, have popular stories and will sell lots of movie tickets.

    #1ReasonWhy – we can’t change mindset or stop it from happening. But how about exposing some of the pigs that do this? A forum or site where people are blacklisted and shamed for being horrible to woman could prevent guys from being so bold and disgusting. Just an idea.

    Azhar I’m still playing Batman Arkham City but it reminds me of CoD to be honest – lots of buildings, guys running around with guns and even Batman has a gun (sort off) … shouldn’t they include that in the next CoD game?

    This eGamer podcast is the patch to my glitch and makes me smile every time I listen to it. Love the site and <3 <3 <3 thank you guys ^_^

    • http://egamer.co.za/ Azhar Amien

      Thanks bro, glad you enjoyed it :D

      Also, luckily I detected your troll-bar and read that you’ve just been cured of a hangover, otherwise I would have dropped a nuclear potato on your eyeball.

    • http://egamer.co.za/author/cavie Caveshen “CaViE” Rajman

      There are actually a few sites dedicated to exposing the misogynists of the gaming world. This site is but one of them.

  • AG_Sonday

    You guys made me feel so wanted with how much you said you missed me and then ripped my heart out. I will typo the shit out of your tombstones one day.

    LOL at Wii U and JGL seems too young and fresh-faced to be Batman. CSI sucks and The Walking Dead is just insanely cool. Also Cloud Atlas is a terrible film :P

    Criterion should’ve named Most Wanted Burnout Paradise 2 because that’s what it was. Let Criterion make what they’re famous for and not NFS.

    And the podcast has stopped. Fun podcast, wish I was there

  • AG_Sonday

    Also, friendly message to all those out there, I don’t look that freaky all the time :P
