Not only was the Blade Runner WOFF very entertaining despite the Skype difficulties, but I enjoyed the triumphant return of Gary's needy cat. Charlie (pictured) is happy to know that other cats also view a human at a computer as a must-pester situation.

That was recorded before his surgery, actually. I think his meows are a little different now but no one else seems to be able to hear it. EDIT: Thanks Umalt! Woffle fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Apr 15, 2014 |

Gary, I just wanna let you guys know that the latest Abject Suffering skit is the funniest one you've guys done yet on either that show or WOFF.

Episode 2 of The Game That Got Away is out! It answers so many questions! Did Steve fix his pond? (No) Was Guy a little bit pissed for the first interview? (Yes) How the hell did Guy manage to get the deputy editor of one of the UK's leading political magazines to appear on his two-bit podcast? (hosed if I know) Link is here if anyone's keen: http://www.gatecrashnetwork.com/portfolio-items/2-steve-mcneil-helen-lewis/ Also on iTunes &c. Thoughts appreciated as ever.

The Watch Out for Fireballs! Hardware special is up and ready for you to listen to. I really like this one, and I hope you do too. http://duckfeed.tv/woff/71 We had a bit of a schedule shakeup, so here's the new lineup: Up next is Shadow of the Colossus, then Killer7, and THEN Alpha Protocol with a special guest interview with Chris Avellone.

SotC and Killer7 are two of my favorite games, can't wait. Did y'all play the HD remake or the original? The HD version is perfect, although slightly harder.

I'm doing the HD remake. Chris is a great dude and I'm so happy he's coming back. I think Alpha Protocol is grotesquely underrated and he's one of my all time favorite game makers.

Yeah sorry, I thought it was a pretty obvious callback to earlier in the thread.  I seem to recall Chris using 'bonkers' somewhat regularly however, I do not see that as being problematic.

I wish that Nick was playing closer attention in the beginning of AC4 because you actually are working for a sub-studio of literally Ubisoft in the fiction, just because it would've probably blown their minds if he remembers this. You learn this in the first 15 minutes.

Kinda unrelated, but I think you guys say in this that you did an Abject Suffering for JJ and Jeff? I don't think I've gotten around to sending anything else because I'm usually lurker as gently caress but I suggested that game after you asked for games from offbeat consoles and I can't find it on the site.

It's actually a Kickstarter exclusive bonus thing we did as a lark when Kole was crashing at my place. Since you suggested it, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't have access though.

You learn this in the first 15 minutes. It would be hilarious if you had to sign up for a uplay account in game. I actually have a code for ac4 that came with my gpu but it's like 35 gigs or some thing outrageous and my net sucks. I should definitely play this game though.

The AC4 discussion was very funny. I just love how serious and poignant the pirate stuff manages to be, juxtaposed against the meta-story part which is completely self-aware stupidity and banality. And it works somehow.

This week's idle thumbs reminded me that I still haven't finished a game in Civ V yet, so I started one up the other day.  Also what's the scoop on the "Breckon's live journal" thing? Also the "gently caress/congrats nick" thing is something I never knew the origin of. It's bonkers, isn't it?

It was his impression of what readers would say when hearing he's leaving to enter game development (congrats nick!) which was also bringing about the end of the podcast for the foreseeable future (gently caress nick!).

The best way to play any Civ game is to get up to about the industrial error, get annoyed with the amount of micro (or decide you've won the game already,) then start over. I think I've finished one out of every 10 games or so.

With all the robot talk on Idle Thumbs, the timing of the latest On The Media podcast is a great follow up. It's 100% about robots and how they are already changing everything. Includes a segment speculating (with a slightly greater degree of seriousness) what Google intends to do with all that robot technology. http://www.onthemedia.org/story/on-the-media-2014-04-18/?utm_source=local&utm_media=treatment&utm_campaign=carousel&utm_content=item0 I friggin' love Brooke.

The random Flintstones Kids chat in the b-reel of that Idle Thumbs episode that came out the week that Martin O'Donnell was let go from Bungie was already weirding me out enough but then also Sean just busting in during the outtro was just bonkers. Super Good Ep.

I really enjoyed listening to the WOFF hardware special while doing garage work this weekend. Your Guitar Hero story is sort of similar to mine. I remember the whole release date of the original was weird in that stores were apparently just putting it on the shelves when they got it. As a long time guitarist myself (been playing in bands for around 15 years) I knew I had to have it when it came out. I actually scored my copy of GH1 a couple days before "official release" at a Best Buy as an employee had set them out not really knowing what it was. When I opened the box at a friends house and saw the babby SG controller we all figured that this game was either going to be the best game or the worst; there just didn't look to be an in between. Of course it turned out being the best. There was hardly a party for the next year where Guitar Hero wasn't available somewhere. The soundtrack of #1 was fantastic. After a couple years I lost interest in plastic instrument games but Guitar Hero #1 will always hold a special place in my heart. I actually got decent at taking apart the controllers and painting them and had quite a few. My favorite though was one a buddy did for me. I said I wanted an over the top "metal as gently caress" paint scheme and he airbrushed me this -

On Craigslist I'm finding closer to 40 bucks. Then again, I'm risking a scenario where I'm forced to earn "dungeonbucks" by doing oddjobs in some sort of dungeon.

craigslist is the place to go for people who need forty bucks right now and are willing to give you all their plastic instruments for it. Just bring Lysol. edit: gently caress, beaten
