July 4 = OCTO-MAC DAY

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 19:25:44 +0000

July 4 (not 24) marks the one year anniversary of the first construction and consumption of an OCTO-MAC. I decree that all loyal BDPE listeners (and hosts) shall go to McDonald's on July 4 and order an OCTO-MAC, or, barring that, order four Big Macs and construct the OCTO-MAC manually. You shall then have pictures taken of yourself eating it. Post them in the forums or e-mail them to feedback@bestdamnpodcastever.com for your share of the glory. LET IT BE KNOWN.

Episode 41: Gaki-Gate

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 14:32:19 +0000

After a break, the guys (Minus Fic) are back. This time they talk about Guitar Hero 4 nonsense, MGS4 sales and the story telling skills of the Japanese, and BLAKE craps on Monster Hunger. Then the discussion moves to Itagaki leaving Tecmo in true Itagaki fashion in the inagural edition of "GAKI GATE". Puzo family sues Paramount for money over the crap (Despite what BLAKE says, the game is butt) Godfather game. They also discuss whether Spore will suck or not. Releases: Battlefield: Bad Company, Alone in the Dark, Guitar Hero On Tour, Operation Darkness Judgement: Devil May Cry 4 Jank: Gamestop's Game Day Sales, lots of games on sale Quote: "....Oh, this one's got a little jiggle thing on it, put your finger in there and wiggle it around..." And don't forget, that BLAKEBUCK hates us all.... If you have any feedback, you can shoot an email here, call the voicemail at 845-BATTLE-9, or leave your thoughts in the forums here.

Fic's Picks #2: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Sun, 09 Mar 2008 21:20:57 +0000

Well, Super Smash Bros. Brawl is out, and I couldn't possibly recommend it more. It's got more characters than ever, 4 control schemes, level editor, and the same frantic gameplay the series has become known for. While it doesn't reinvent the series in any way, in this host's humble opinion, that's a good thing. When something is awesome, don't change it. Just make it more awesome. Also, in honor of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, I'm putting up links to Nintendo's other popular first party titles, as well as the Wii itself and its myriad of controllers.

Fic's Picks #1 : Contra 4

Fri, 07 Mar 2008 00:12:00 +0000

Justin Fic here. As mentioned on Episode 37, the BDPE is now a member of the Amazon Affiliate Program. What this means is that we can put links to products on Amazon, and if you guys buy it through our link, Amazon kicks us a small cut. It's a great way to help support the podcast, especially if it's a game you guys were going to buy anyway! So let's get started. I know on the podcast I said I'd use Advance Wars: Days of Ruin for the first Pick, but it needs to be bumped in favor of a game that has a much larger set of testicles: Contra 4. How could I have a recurring column about awesome games and not kick it off with a Contra title? IT'S NOT POSSIBLE. Contra is the quintessential man's game: guns, explosions, aliens, and mind-blowing difficulty. Beating a Contra game demands perfection- anything less is met with failure. Contra 4 continues the time-honored tradition of dudes with no shirts blasting the ever-loving shit out of an endless supply of aliens, alien vehicles, and the iconic oversized-beating-alien-heart. This is a Contra game by Contra fans, for Contra fans. Every inch of it drips Contra. The levels, music, graphics, bosses, guns, every last inch is the good old Contra you know and love, taken to the next level. Contra 4, however, also continues the tradition of taking lesser gamers, bending them over, and raping them so hard up their virgin asses that even members of their immediate family don't walk straight for a week. Which brings me to the most common complaint about Contra 4: people invariably say it's too difficult. I've had at least 3 people tell me they had to put the game down because they got killed in the first 10 seconds. And all I can say to that is: look. You don't play Contra 4 the way you play these other sissy games that pander to how much you suck. When you pick up Contra 4, you are declaring war, and you are expected to treat it with the seriousness that war demands. If the first enemy kills you enough times, eventually you learn to juke his bullets, and kill his ass. That, my friend, is what videogames are all about. But I guess it's a fair warning- if you were too much of a pussy for Contra, Super C, or Contra 3: The Alien Wars, I can confidently say you're too much of a pussy to handle Contra 4. Don't fight it, it's a sad truth. Not everyone is man for it. If you're one of these people, I recommend not buying Contra 4, and instead, taking part in an activity that better suits you, like sucking your thumb, playing with dolls, or menstruating. BUT, if you're up for the challenge, Contra 4 is your chance to prove to the world that you're a cut above the rest, one of the elite. You beat Contra 4, and gamers all around you will just assume you have an enormous schlong. You beat Contra 4 around the ladies, and the final explosion will blow their clothes clean off. Wives, sisters, daughters, and hot single moms will all flock to you, while their men will gladly and respectfully bow at your feet. And all will sing your name.
