Generation X

In this episode, Sanii goes missing again, but quick to save the day is the star of "GamerTunes", Konrad. He also fills us in on his rags to riches story. The boys have no outline, no plan, and no news, but manage to pull off another epic show. We do a round table on Forza Motorsport 3. Topics rule this show as we talk about what game was the game that made you believe you wanted to become a gamer. We tackle things head-on like, innovation in gaming, if special edition releases are worth the money, how do you justify greatest game ever in a series, and the ultimate question: would you pay 100 dollars for XBOX live? We also give our thoughts on the new Bioshock 2 mode, official avatar awards details, and the Bayonetta release date. Of course, as always, we have our "Bitchin Gamers" and then we end the show with GamerTunes.

  • New Bioshock 2 Multiplayer Mode Announced
  • Roundtable On Forza Motorsport 3
  • What Game Made You Become A Gamer?
  • Datel To Fight Microsoft
  • Thoughts On $100 Xbox LIVE
  • GamerTunes
  • Bitchin’ Gamers

yo i was listening to the show again and i came off the wrong way when i said bioshock 2 was exclusive to the xbox i meant the mode, the capture the sisters mode, form what i read was exsclusively for xbox live, that could change, so dont nobody call me a fanboy when they hear i accidentally said the game itself is exclusive to the xbox

Its a theme song from Mirror's Edge, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzmUde_EK5Y smilies/smiley.gif

I wouldn't pay doubled price for gold, that'd be 120euro in Europe if i had Xbox, i wanna buy one but this is too much. I wouldn't pay that much escpecially when there still is no official Xbox Live in Poland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X...ailability).
Bring it worldwide then rise the price.

What game made me become a gamer?
Well I've been gaming since the Sega Genesis. Back then I went to my friends houses to play Sonic and stuff. But I didn't really get into games until my Dad bought me an N64. My first game for that console was Toy Story 2. When I think about it, it was an alright game. Games today are so much better. Back then, since I was a kid, I only rented games. I rented a bunch of fun games, like Paper Mario, Hey You Pikachu, Pokemon Stadium, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2... a lot of games. It wasn't until the PS3 when I considered myself a "gamer". After I got a PS3, I'd be buying and playing a bunch of games, talking about games on forums, listening to gaming podcasts.

It's pretty cool when you think about how much gaming has changed over the past 12 years.

I also just realised, since I have about 200 downloaded songs for Rock Band, I've spent like $400 just on DLC. Wow. I could have bought another PS3 with all that money.

Thanks for putting the podcast up, however, without listening yet, I'll answer a few questions of the podcast:

Pong made me a gamer in 1976.

LIVE at $100, I'd have to think about it, it would be $200 a year for me & $300 a year for me when my daughter joins my son & I online. I dont know, but I'd be reluctantly forced into paying, I guess.

Forza 3 round-table, Forza 3 is the ****! I cant go one night without racing at least 1 race!

Would i pay $100 for Xbox Live?
written by Your Brother :), November 02, 2009
I sure as hell would only if they made it worth $100 a year. Currently i am content with paying $50 a year for the great service. One thing that really makes me laugh is how everyone is freaking out as if Microsoft is actually going to make Live $100. They will never do it.

On Borderlands, once you finish, the game will readjust to your character(lvl).
@ Konrad, I thought I was the only playing PS1 games w/o a memory card, lmao.
Gaming since the NES days, and my pick is Metal Gear Solid 2. Yea, I beat MGS2 before MGS1. Kinda strange. Also, I want add that I miss the arcade scene. XBL & PSN is great, but arcades are different. There's maybe one or two arcade(s) in my city.
Tune - Mirror's Edge
After MW2, I done buying games for awhile. Later

diz if xbox let you play everything on xbox id pay 150 will it happen no( i hate paying 50 now). and louie you buy games because your a gamer.

you dont have to have all systems to be a gamer. you just have to have that urge, whenever you go into the mall were do you go game store. that makes a gamer . you can't help but to buy a new game cause you need to know what you are missing in the game world. thats why you dont have to play all the game threw you just need to play them.

also the if you got your live hooked up at this point your paying 75.00 so dont think that MS isnt plaing on incorporating everything in one within the next 2 year live will be 100. they are already adding costly feature netflix and sk. why wouldnt ms want to use netflix to get consumer hooked. people are dumb if ms says that if you pay 65 dollars you get netflix and live people will do it because they will not think or hesitate to find out that they dont need live for netflix. honestlyi've had every system since launch and unless immissing something i dont see how 50 is justified

im already pay around $100 for live there's no way id pay double for what we get $100 is already pushing it but if i really dont think MS will rise the price of live unless its for some type of platinum service with gold staying at its normal price ,the game that made me a gamer was mgs also i remember my older brother getting so sick of me in his playing it in his room he gave me the PS1 anyway this was another great show by the most consistent dudes in gaming podcasting,peace

$100 for Xbox live? Lol no way. It will probably be the price of a house over here so I think I will pass!
