    (0:00 - 10:19) 2 Human 2 Quit pt. 1
    Well ain't this cute, the boys have all played the same ding-dong game this week. Sit and revel in the companionship as they all talk about the controversial Silicon Knights title that'll no doubt give you a Dyack Attack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack!

    (10:19 - 20:59) 2 Human 2 Quit pt. 2
    Our thoughts on Too Human continue to roll out of our mouths to some degree of intelligibility, and we dig into the power co-op has to make a mediocre game worth staying up past an old man's bed time.

    (20:59 - 27:36) Did I Make a "Guy-Den" Joke Last Time?
    Who dat ninja? Sure, we talked about Ninja Gaiden II before, but we're a lot deeper in the game now, Shieh's beaten it, and Pete jumped over a crucial hurdle with tonfas in hand and a gang of ninja heads to crush. Seriously, though, if anyone asks us to shoot a bow and arrow in first person on a boss again, they'll die a dishonorable death.

    Bonus: If you run into a crashing bug on NGII, check out this site for the cache-clearing method, and skip any future updates for the game until they fix the issue.

    PROMO - ANIME WORLD ORDER: Sexy podcast for anyone hankering for some cah-toons as much as Daryl Surat hungers for CA-OOOOOKIE Crisp. He may claim we're the most homoerotic podcast ever, but just wait till you hear his review of Pretty Princess Doo-Doo-chan! Check out their site here, and let the crew know you're visiting from PLANET RD.

    (27:36 - 43:05) Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Wars Wars: Wars
    Wisely, we bring in Star Wars MAN-iac Jon Chesson to chat with us about the latest addition to the overflowing Star Wars universe. He jams it hard with Pete and Jimmy, muses over Neckbeard's latest exploits, and quickly runs home immediately after to make sure his SW bust collection is fully intact.

    (43:05 - 51:45) Well, Hello Ladies: Gated Community Hookers pt. 1
    A couple weeks ago, Jimmy and Umair cranked out another 48 Hour Film Project, this time in the genre of musical, with the help of platinum musical composers Doctor Sex and international rap superstar Moldilox. If you haven't yet, you can check out the short on our very own Internet Website!

    (51:45 - 1:00:47) Back in the Day: Gated Community Hookers pt. 2
    We focus on the music and the screening itself this round, so get a taste of fame by licking Umair and Jimmy's words with your eardrums. If you get a chance, check out the competition they wrapped their dicks around this year to snag the audience award.

    (1:00:47 - 1:07:56) Closing
    If you're sitting here right now, then you probably don't need to hear us jam about our fancy new website, but you DO need to hear the bonus section, as usual!

    Who Needs Sweaty Chinese Power Levelers?

    In a seemingly brilliant move to cut out the middle man, Namco-Bandai has just unleashed their first set of DLC for Tales of Vespiria. They offer some run-of-the-mill stuff, like weapon sets, but the real interest here are two specific pieces:
    LV Up +10    300 MP
    LV Up +5      200 MP
    Now, for these to come out in the North American market, sure. You white devils have suddenly evolved past the need to grind in JRPGs, as heard by your very vocal disdains. But in the land of the rising sun, where people have treaded on the brink of death for grinding and loved every minute of it, I'm a little bit baffled! What Japanese player would buy these? Or maybe I'M the asshole and I'm totally off the mark in this situation.

    More Reasons to Try Alone in the Dark

    First off, I should mention that the author of the article I'm about to link seems like a douchenozzle, his picture makes him look like a serial rapist, and I generally think it's lame when reviews are picked apart anally. On the other hand, I was really looking forward to Alone in the Dark before it got almost universally panned, receiving 5s and 3.5s, the latter score being the focus of Daniel Weissenberger's attached rant.

    He makes a good argument for the game, even if he's far too wordy and smug, but maybe that's the point of the site. If I had to review his review of IGN's review, I'd probably mention the way he migrates from regular, literate human speak to something like "BTW," as if it pounced straight from his chat box to MS Word and latched to the electronic fibers like a tick.

    For the record, here are some of the survival horror games out there with worse melee combat than AitD: Every other Alone in the Dark - Nocturne (and the Blair Witch sequels) - Every Resident Evil game - Every Clock Tower game (including Haunting Grounds) - Dino Crisis 1-3 - Obscure 1+2 - The Suffering 1+2 - Every Silent Hill game - Dead Rising.

    Okay, I'll admit it, I only made it to about word 4,874 before giving up on finishing the article, but it's nice to read something positive about AitD, even if it's a little fucking late. Has anyone here played it?

    Eegra makes a funny!

    The impeccably funny Dan Staines over at Eegra has gone and done it. What was once considered unfathomable by mortal man has been achieved, today, on his outstanding site. Mashing together our love for hateful, deadpan humor with the greatest Fighting Villain of all time, one Mr. M. Bison, has resulted in three separate examples of LOL.

    HOLY FUCKING SHIT ZOMBIES ON DIRTBIKES!



    While some hoot and holler that Resident Evil 5 is more the spit shined iteration rather than the revolutionary rethinking of a legendary brand, we think that's just fine.  Resident Evil got six games out of its original gameplay style.  Sure, it kind of peaked with Veronica, making the remake of 1 and Zero pretty stale, but it was still the 4th game in that line.  Four games to get it perfect and we're only on number two of the new style.


    Plus, don't you just want Chris Redfield to curl you up in a man-hug of manliness?
