Hi, it was nice to listen to Spamtron, and congrats on getting that fine T-shirt.
I really liked Super Xtreme 5 minute Shoot em Up. The action was intense and I just couldn’t seem to get one of the bosses ;P
I ended up around 4mill (Crazy good apparently) after 4 tries.
Dude, I can’t get anywhere NEAR the end of that second level boss. It makes me so mad.

Almost forgot to mention, the audio seemed a bit out of the ordinary today. It just seemed generally a bit edgy and not as good quality as usual, though it may just be me.
(I’m not refering to the soundtrack used, I genuinely do mean the audio as a whole.)
CTR, better than Mario Kart {seesmic_video:{“url_thumbnail”:{“value”:”http://t.seesmic.com/thumbnail/nw7LXJxBoW_th1.jpg”}”title”:{“value”:”CTR, better than Mario Kart ”}”videoUri”:{“value”:”http://www.seesmic.com/video/tsYrHoEbTm”}}}

The more I think about it, the more I’m mad at myself for not mentioning Beetle Adventure Racing. That game was almost perfect.
I’m far less upset at myself for not mentioning Re-Volt. I loved it, warts and all, but that is a good example of a game that you can’t go home to again.
Mario Kart DS (Bad Video lol) {seesmic_video:{“url_thumbnail”:{“value”:”http://t.seesmic.com/thumbnail/vBxCRaMBv7_th1.jpg”}”title”:{“value”:”Mario Kart DS (Bad Video lol) ”}”videoUri”:{“value”:”http://www.seesmic.com/video/kJFmcLkuME”}}}
Mario Kart DS is, hands down, the BEST Mario Kart game in the series. Control was great, track collection was great, multiplayer worked like a charm. I actually played it with random strangers on the subway a couple times.
I would also Have to agree with Toadsanime!! CTR was the shit back in the day! Awesome game!

Super Xtreme 5 Minute Shoot em Up is… super xtreme!
And the best racing game – Burnout Revenge.
Wow, rockin the beard dude. It really works for ya.
Dude, Burnout 3 owned my SOUL for pretty much a solid year, I think. I used to be so insane on those tracks.
I agree with Joe. That’s a mighty fine beard.
Thirding the love for Burnout 3 (and for the beard). Paradise eventually grew on me, but 3 is easily in my top five games from that generation. It even saw play in my dorm room this past semester. In 2009. That’s some serious staying power.
Get well soon Anthony! {seesmic_video:{“url_thumbnail”:{“value”:”http://t.seesmic.com/thumbnail/7tnA4P8UlD_th1.jpg”}”title”:{“value”:”Get well soon Anthony! ”}”videoUri”:{“value”:”http://www.seesmic.com/video/vR40IkQbsa”}}}
Awww, thanks, Larsons.
Also, in the most fitting act of randomness ever, the thumbnail for this week’s episode on Youtube is just a giant picture of your face with the words “Joe Larson” underneath it.
It was only a matter of time, I think.
I saw that youtube thumb being my homage and strangely enough my first thought was _not_ “Ah ha! My plans of taking over are finally coming to fruition. First Bytejacker, then THE WORLD-wide-web.”
No, my first thought was to e-mail you and say “Change that thing, man. No one wants to see that.” Then I thought that second thought quietly to myself.
D’awwww. Every once in a while, the internet is a very cute place. :]

Burnout 3 Takedown is pretty much when Criterion’s franchise reached it’s prime. Awesome arcade racing without the Blue Shell nonsense! REAL RACERS crash others!
Not a mention of Sega Rally yet? The first one that is. The game had the most satisfying and convincing handling of any racing game I’ve ever played – you really could feel the different surfaces as you drove over them, such was the high quality of sound effects and gameplay design.
Gran Turismo 3 , the rallying sections, got this right too actually, not quite as fun but it did have the superb implementation of rumble.
Sega Rally it is, though.
I just discovered something uncool about SX5MShMUp, it plays faster on my work computer than on my laptop or even my home desktop. Yes, i realize that means I’m in desperate need of an upgrade, but what’s up with that? On a normal type of game who cares, but in a game where you’re up against a clock… No. I had more time to hack against that 2nd boss when I got there, but being faster it was, yes, harder to get there. But still, no. A timed game should have a unified experience IMHO. On my home computer I don’t even stand a chance of having enough time to beat that boss.
I wonder if you can turn down the quality. I’ll try that when I get home.
I will say that I loved playing two players on one keyboard, because player one was my left hand, player two was my right hand. that was the way I played the first game. Friggin’ awesome.
And at 2:07 did you say “spend money like I have it” or “spend money like a habit”?
Hey guys, just thought I’d let you know… Indie game sale on steam this weekend, save a hundred dollars on indie games! There’s a ten pack and a five pack, and all the games in each pack are worth owning! Especially with the 30 and 20 dollar price tag.

Today’s video comment is brought to you by ’8-Mile’ starring Marshal Mathers
Shit, Jon, now I have to record a new video comment wherein I rap about racing games.
Dude, it’s the funniest thing cause the screengrab for your comment totally looks like you’re about to spin a phat ass beat about racing.

Wtf? How could the topic of sports games come up and not mention 1080 snowboarding for the n64?
Madness.
