You should be our friend. We make fun of australians alot though. I do it most because i like to be racist, I think new zealanders generally just don't like you guys though, or maybe it's not that mean - it's just that you make a good target. But we are on skype every fri/sat night (which is midafternoon to even the following day for you). Join us.

Episode 144 - The Kiwi Strikes Back



James likes Max Payne much more than Pete did. Pete loves Dragon's Dogma despite some problems. Pete is also having a crisis of faith in regards to how to make his hobby not be a job but help him get a job.

Now it just looks like James is yelling at you. Look forward to listening while doing the dishes tonight.

[TheKurichan]

Great episode Mort (and that other guy). Really enjoyed it.

[Raggen1]

Yeah, another great episode. I think James nailed it on why the podcast is so enjoyable, long may it last. For your FYI and Double K.O. are fast becoming some of my favourite podcasts, up there with P1P.

Since I spend quite some time commuting/walking to and from work I listen to a lot of podcast, but have been cutting out a lot of gaming podcast lately. I find gaming podcast very easy to listen to, but I have realised it's taking over all other subjects I'm interested in like music, politics and space/science. And thinking about it I really don't like most of the people on "gamingpress" podcasts. I tried listening to the Joystiq show's discussion on Gravity Rush this week, but I just had to stop. It was bad, uninformative, annoying and boring. I have also stopped listening to CAG cast, Eurogamer (used to be good when Ellie was on) Gameinformer show, GWJ, Giantbomb and considering cutting out Weekend Confirmed as well. My point being that podcast from people outside the "industry" is a breath of fresh air for me, and I'm glad you guys find the time to do it.

If anyone has any recommendation on similar podcast, please let me know.

Also, if you guys need something to play on the Vita I recommend Velocity. It was a free mini for ps + in europe, and I've been pleasently suprised. Great top-down shooter with some interesting and different game mechanics, and it's perfect for the Vita. I think it would have gotten more attention had it been just a regular PSN game and not a mini. It's surely alot better than any mini I've ever played.

And a potential question for a future episode:

- How do you guys think the next generation will play out and what will make or break a console? Do you think Sony's big number of studios will play a role the first couple of years, and will the lessons learned in regards to ease of development, price and online get them back to being the industry leader?

Episode 145: Ghost Recon is actually good?





James still loves Max Payne, Pete and James are shocked by how awesome Ghost Recon is, future consoles are mulled over, and Resistance: BS is pretty ok if you are ok with it. What?



http://fyfyi.com/2012/06/01/fyfyi-episode-145-ghost-recon-is-actually-good/

[Raggen1]

Thanks for discussing my question, a good discussion IMO. I agree with James that releasing a console a year later will be devastating for either company. I was having a beer with som old friends of mine a couple of weeks ago, and we talked briefly about the next generation of consoles. We're about 6 guys that have grown up with Playstation, but most of them agreed that if Playstation 4 is released a year later than Xbox, it would result in them buying a Xbox720 instead. I don't think Sony would do that, but after this week I realise that they are capable of repeating all the mistakes of the past.

Intersted in hearing you opinion on Bioshock 2, I bought it on sale recently but couldn't get into it. It might be a good game but revisiting Rapture was a complete turn-off, and I turned it off after an hour.

Looking forward to the E3 discussion, your up and downs during the week, and will James sell his Vita?

I'm what my country calls a socialist. Which basically mean's im moderate, don't think corporations should shit all over people or the earth and I don't believe that homosexuals are going to burn in hell for all of eternity.


That is the definition of socialist, right?

Sounds like the definition a sane human being to me:-)

A question for a rainy day:

Do you think the "AAA" games for Vita will be ported over to the PS3? I'm sure they are thinking about it, considering the budgets on Uncharted, Gravity Rush, AC: Liberation.

And I propose a weekly Gies segment, need to scratch that itch:-)

[Raggen1]

If you need any questions:

- What's you favourite sequel to a game this generation? I just started playing Infamous 2, and I'm amazed at how much better the game is than the first. The mechanics, the missions and graphics. The first game didn't grab me at all but this is one of my favourite gaming experiences this generation and a rare occasion where an open world game really clicks with me.

Anyone of you tried the LBP Karting beta? That was a pleasent suprise, really liking it.
