Great show guys. Love the new intro, we should use that every episode! (jk)
Hilden you are correct, BOTS is simply rediculous and Fiddy probably did sit down with some Producer and say things like “Yeah man and we want bullets that Splode, and Helicopers Yo!” But it’s the over-the-top rediculousness that I found a nice fun change of pace.
One thing we should mention how every cut scene starts off with Fiddy being flanked by two dudes (the same two dudes) with towls on their face and AK-47s whiles Fiddy scouls cuz he aint got his skull yet. Pricelessly bad!

Hilden give the show a crystal sound and I guess John makes the shows download above dial up speeds.
August 5th, 2009 at 3:08 am
Gaaaahahah… my Zune quits out at 33 minutes in. I may have to listen to the rest of this on the computer. You iPod fanboys better quit this shit and make sure it works next week.
August 5th, 2009 at 10:20 am
My iPhone also cuts out at about 33 minutes in as well. Weird.
August 5th, 2009 at 10:32 am
I think there’s something wrong with this week’s download or something. Not sure. But perhaps it’s due to the fact that these two assholes ramble on about 50 Cent for fifteen god-damn minutes. I’m not sure I want to come back next week.
August 5th, 2009 at 11:29 am
Hey maybe we ought to change the 25 cent tag in the corner of the page to 2 x 25 cents?
August 5th, 2009 at 11:49 am
Sorry about all the download trouble. Not sure what the story is. I’ve re-uploaded the mp3 file so those of you with the show cutting off may want to try and download it again. Hopefully that helps things.
August 5th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
That worked, thanks Hilden. Fat Princess tempts me to get a PS3, believe it or not. Damn you guys are persuasive when you like something.
August 5th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
You guys and your censorship in the name of taste.
Just wait until the next live show. After I’ve consumed more of this amazing goddamn cognac. Because seriously, Cognac. And other C words.
That was a rough morning, though.
August 5th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
phneri, all you said was cunt?
August 5th, 2009 at 10:15 pm
Finally downloaded. Love the intro music.
August 5th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
And Peggle is a game of skill whereas 50 Cent is a game of holding down the fire button and calling people bitches as you shot them in the face 30 times.
August 6th, 2009 at 7:35 am
I must speak up in response to the Drunk dial from Phneri. I believe that people may have misunderstood the reason for my email. I did indeed point out the fact about the swear jar but I also said that I do not mind when profanity is used, in fact I love it. The real point of the e-mail was to see if I could get John to do a triple shot or just really drunk.
August 10th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
I’m a pretty new listener so I don’t know the guy’s name, but wow @ the guy hating on 50 Cent. I feel like you’re an idiot if you honestly think that 50 Cent considers this to be a real world simulation of his life. Are you serious? You sound like one of the clowns who says if you play violent games you will do violent things. Some people can differentiate fantasy from reality. It’s odd that a grown man like yourself couldn’t.
Even more clownish was all your complaints/insults about some of the gameplay decisions… and then 50 seconds later you’re talking about how these gameplay decisions made the game alot of fun. Correct me if i’m wrong, but isn’t being fun the whole point of a game?
Exactly what was the point you were trying to make?
August 10th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
My dear Mr. Visionz,
The name is Hilden, by the way. I’m sure my point was lost in the joy I take from ripping on everything our 50 Cent disciple, Moe, loves. I’ll clarify.
I don’t think that 50 Cent actually thinks this videogame is his life. I DO believe, however, that he feels he’s actually larger than life and that all the shit in the game isn’t that far of a stretch for him. This is confirmed, for me at least, by the many public statement’s he has made saying just how indestructible and awesome he is.
My problem with the game is that it’s a fundamentally solid gameplay experience wrapped in a pile of rap-culture, “look how bad ass I am” bullshit. It’s not just peppered in here and there. It’s drenched to the core in it. So much so that the game can’t really stand on it’s own without the attitude and the arrogance. There’s a reason that Moe makes fun of it EVERY MOMENT HE’S PLAYING IT. It’s a farce and the joy for Moe and Co. is in taking something so asinine and reveling in it for the sake of amusement.
Granted, there is some solid game happening there, but I just don’t think that it would warrant as many replays as it’s getting on my friends list if it weren’t for the combination of the banal along with the solid mechanics.
Hope that clarifies my point for you. And I hope you’ll notice that at no point did I resort to hurling insults at you for your obvious difference of opinion. Something I hope you’ll choose to remedy should you decide to post here again.
August 10th, 2009 at 10:51 pm
sickVisionz, Hilden’s mother and father were both killed by a crate of Vitamin Water recently and for some reason he vents his anger at 50 Cent. The things he said above are all lies.
August 10th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
Dear Visionz,
You will notice that unlike Hilden, who writes a thoughtful articulate, argument, I will instead resort to insults and slander. They follow thusly:
What kind of a sanctimonious, asinine meatwallet listens to one episode (I don’t care if you’ve listened to more than one. For the purposes of my calling you a twat, you’ve listened to one) of a video game podcast and then takes the hosts seriously after they spend so very much time taking the piss out of themselves and their material?
The point, you syphilitic anal discharge, is that Mr. Cent is just like a host of other brain dead celebrity fuckwits who take themselves far too seriously and believe that themselves and their shit-eating entourage of sycophantic morons are capable of far, far, far more than any rational, intelligent human would attribute their abilities to.
As such, it is goddamned amazing that BOTS is actually a competent shooter and does not consist of 50 and his special friends forming some kind of retarded, bling-filled robot built from black SUVs with tinted windows to fight giant mutant terrorists in order to save mankind with the power of bass that annoys the shit out of everyone within a thousand yards. The self-indulgent, fucking awful music and dialogue makes this competent game even more ironic and entertaining when looked at as a joke.
Toodles.
August 10th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
Uh… yeah.
I’m going to go ahead add my signature to Hilden’s oddly necessary “clarification.” I’ll have to go back and take another listen to the discussion, but at no point do I remember pretty much anything mentioned. While I do appreciate your endorsement of my exotic and highly evolved taste in video gaming entertainment, I am saddened by the need for such an explanation. As you listen to more episodes of our jolly experiment (or if you do), I presume you will come to understand, as many others have, that what you hear is really three close friends constantly trying to break each other, not some meaningful diatribe on anything, much less whatever it was that turned your crank.
If this is too much to bear, we certainly understand. People have been unsubscribing for over 4 years now. I know, we can’t believe it’s been that long either! But should you decide to stay, you’ll find these comments aren’t riddled with the usual flames of the retarded that seem to infiltrate all but the MENSA forums. We do the best we can to keep the conversation civil, if a bit cheeky at times, and do hope you’ll help us keep it that way. Thanks for listening!
P.S. I see you’ve met Phneri, who is the exception to the aforementioned rule. But given his extensively verbose and descriptive prose, we let him write what he wants. He is, after all, a graduate student in English. He is also gay. This is how it goes. So, once again, welcome!
August 11th, 2009 at 4:01 am
Wow…I wish I could write like you Moe.
August 11th, 2009 at 7:16 am
@Phneri “sanctimonious, asinine meatwallet” “you syphilitic anal discharge” Classic.
August 11th, 2009 at 9:44 am
Hey Moe: fuck you for buying this game.
August 11th, 2009 at 10:49 am
Can’t we all get along? 50 Cent and Peggle lovers in perfect harmony?
August 11th, 2009 at 11:13 am
You know, it IS possible that perhaps the game isn’t the issue here, but rather the inability of some to interpret the intent of human verbal communication and the inability of others to open the drive on their Xbox so they have even the slightest idea of what the fuck they keep bitching about. But you know that I still love ya, pookie.
August 11th, 2009 at 11:44 am
I’m not bitching about the game at all. I know next to nothing about it – other than the fact that it features one of the most moronic celebutards of our time – nor do I feel obligated to play this nonsense as there are about 100 other games sitting on my shelf that are fun without requiring a lobotomy to enjoy. That being said, I will play it, but only if you lead the charge. If you wait for me to instigate it, it’s going to be a long wait.
What I’m bitching about is that since 50 Cent infected your mind several weeks ago, we have wasted over an hour of accumulated podcast time devoted to that asshat and his absurd game which has now led to douchebaggery on our website. Had you – of all people – not succumbed to this fucking tripe, we could be spending more time discussing more intellectually important matters. You know, like me taking nude photos of my girlfriend with the Game Boy Camera.
August 11th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
Problem is, I find it to be a fun game. While Mr. 50 may be fucking tripe, I say the game itself is not. The loud complaints only fan the flames of the demonstrated emotionally unstable with a growing and inspired vigor. Unfortunately, many things will attract this type of attention to our little cause, and we all know this is not the first, nor sadly (fortunately) will it be the last. I simply suggest that this has nothing to do with the introduction of the game, but rather the prolonged response, for which we all hold an equal responsibility… and I regret nothing. Gangsta.
As for your early career as an 8-bit pornographer, I can only hope that it will inspire a barrage of inanity equal to, if not surpassing, that which has overwhlemed our pages of late. If there is one thing you know to be true, it’s the unwavering respect I have for your artistic integrity. And porn.
August 11th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
Haven’t we always planned on turning this site into a tight-pants/rope fetish site? I’m merely greasing the wheels.
August 11th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
“Greasing” eh?
August 11th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
I believe this is well documented back in some of our earliest episodes. Clearly, we’re well on our way. Bring a towel.
August 11th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
@carrotpanic: Would “lubing” be a better word?
August 11th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
Gotta oil those bearings. It’s all ball bearings now-a-days.
August 12th, 2009 at 12:25 am
This thread is why I love this site so damn much. To all contributors: bravo.
August 13th, 2009 at 12:41 pm
Big ups on the awesome new name to the former “Watcha Playing” segment!!!!!
