Oh, thank god Chad is supposed to be back next week. Has the winner of last week's competition been decided yet? |
|
This show is making me Emo... |

@fullmetal adam
While I'll be on 183, it's not like I'm going to be bringing much to the table apart from a little more structure here and there.
I haven't seriously played any games or kept up with gaming news that much over the past few weeks. I'm busy with work projects and have other priorities right now. But I'll throw in what I can on 183.
Although it's not like I haven't been on the last few episodes in spirit, I've edited all the episodes I haven't been on.
The winner for the diablo 2 contest will be in 183. |

Thanks for reading my email, guys. I just wanted to point out that I think the show is great and you do a good job, considering that you do it for free. Just as a constructive point: maybe a GameFly membership would let you get some more experience with games you wouldn't want to buy? |
|
I hope i win diablo 2, im one of those younger gamers that have not played it yet  |
|
@souplust
It has remained for years as my favorite game of all time. I entered the contest to get the codes for my mom. Her copies got invalidated somehow about a year ago and she hasn't been able to play since. But if I win, I'll give the codes to you, soup. I don't really like my mom any way. |

@nine
Except for the fact that I was absolutely serious. I really don't like my mom anymore. She walked out on me 11 years ago, she doesn't pay my dad the child support he deserves, she constantly lied to me until she realized how intelligent I am, and she continues to want visitation rights.
SERIOUS THREAD ARE SERIOUS NOW |
|
What happened to the old intro? I prefer that one. Not a fan of the current one |
|
|
I'm famous! Albeit briefly. My mail added some content to the show. I asked when your knowledge of videogames impressed a woman. Well, not really the response i expected, but that's what you get from the VGS. I offer a ham sandwich to the crew, regardless if they can have one or not. |
|
|
the new intro is better, short n sweet. |
|
Umm, just curious fellas, but it sounds like the podcast isn't something you guys really want to be doing anymore. Thinking of hanging up your mikes? |
|
|
Complete derail!!!
Even the end felt so short... C'mon people you can do better, I know you can. |
|
I tried, I really did!  |
|
|
The only bad epsiodes you guys have had are the ones with interviews because you can't be as funny.
Oh, and the not-episode episodes, they're like shattered dream pies, but in audio form.  |
|
VGS people, don't force these episodes out. If you're not enjoying doing the shows, or if you've really got nothing to talk about, have a break.
Money's tight, nothing has come out that you're interested in, that's fine, we get it. Most of us are in the same boat.
I'm just saying I'd rather VGS took a month off, come back and got some enjoyment of making the show, rather than feeling 'forced' to get a show out every week and getting sick of the whole process.
True fans won't be annoyed if you take time off the show. Christ knows we don't pay anything for all your hard work (maybe not hard work for some of you, time at least).
All the best for all the shows to come, we all appreciate it. But you knew that, right?
 |
|
the ball has been dropped people... wanna pick it back up? |
|
Sounds like its getting rough to get an episode out now. i have been an avid listener for the past couple years and dont wanna see this just die out. maybe you guys could cut back from one show a week to maybe once a month? that could help with not having anything to talk about every week |
|
|
We should organize a community show! We have members of the community come on instead of the normal VGS guys, record stuff about video games they've played, have somebody that is NOT Chad edit the podcast, and send it to Chad for review. It would lighten the load at least a little bit for the whole crew.
NOTE: The above are very loose details. If approved, the details will be updated further.
All in favor? |
|
|
i would except theres that problem of time. |
|
|
@Ruler of Eden
ive said it befor and il say it again ... im more than happy to help the community where i can. also sounds fun ... plus i might even meet people that may (or may not) want to start my own(but thats a story for another time) |
|
Well your spirit should speak up!
Good luck in your projects and great work editing, as always. |
|
Ah, the new intro and format. It seems the podcast has entered its deconstructivist phase. 
Nice of y'all to keep going. I don't care what y'all talk about; it's always a treat.. er, well, it's always something to listen to at least.  Seriously, though, it's great to check in once a week and know that everyone's still alive. In at least one category, it beats the Bombcast; As much as some of the listeners might complain under the guise of offering suggestions, I'll give you this much: the show is short.
Looking forward to next week, guys. |
|
|
I think the show is still quite amusing, despite having nothing to talk about.

Also, could Chad editing less mean we finally get that uncensored show we've (I've) been hoping for?
I doubt it, but wutevs. |
|
|
if it was uncensored i predict every 5 words is going to be a swear |
|
|
I'vegot something to share.... i thnk phil ruins the atmosphere a lot.....For example, i was laughing at some of the jokes keith and bob were making then phil said something non-humorous about something related to what was going on at the time and sounded so emotionless. Then he wouldnt stop, my expression went frm a smile to a frown THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK PHIL!!! anyway, have you guys tried talking about games that look good or that you've seen reviews about? you dnt have to play a video game to tlk about video games! I have another question.....how do you pluralize dildo?(anyone can answer the dildo thing) |
|
I think that all these new accounts that just give **** to the hosts just take the piss. |
|
|
@davidmn
i hope im not a part of this... i mean i dont think ive been givin **** + ive been listening to the show now for ages i just neva plucked up the courage to join in the fourms... dont ask why. The show is still very entertaining but it doesnt feel the same... but what do i know right ... ive only had 17 posts  ... yup feels good man |
|
|
Not you James, I just mean the ones that have 1 or 2 posts just ripping into the hosts. |

@Asword156-1
Honestly, I feel you do not deserve a response to this post, but I will at least respond in my defense of your "criticism": I am guessing you are a new listener and you are unaware of the long-running joke on VGS where I "don't ever say anything during the show." How would you feel if you were trying to voice your opinion and constantly had people talking over you? (that's a rhetorical question, don't answer) Excuse me for trying to add content and structure to a show that was a trainwreck from the start of the show. I was just as disappointed as other people were with how Ep.182 turned out, unlike you. As Keith would put it: "You are not my target audience", so I will continue to contribute to the show.
@Asword156-1
On another note... CLEARLY, you created an account on these forums for the wrong reasons. |
|
|
@phil
It is pretty funny when I'm listening, and like 2/3 the way through a show, you say something. Then I'm like...wait. What? Phil is on the show. |
