Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Bit.Trip Void
Monday, October 19th, 2009 running time 37:54
It's our season 03 premiere! In our longest segment on a game yet, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves takes the spotlight this week. We also stop by indie developer Gaijin Games to grab a look at what makes an indie studio tick and to get a sneak peak at Bit.Trip Void. Also, of course, we had to share the quickie got with New Super Mario Bros. Wii!
Arcades still exist, particularly if you're willing to expand your definition a bit. The Musee Mecanique is a remnant of a San Francisco past steeped in amusements for the emergent middle class of the late 19th and early 20th century. Within are some of the oldest coin-op amusements to be found anywhere. We take a trip down memory lane (not our own memories, mind you) with some true cultural predecessors to our favorite form of media.

I don't know that's when my favorite things in life. Bullet helps shooters it's like -- power about there not because they want to get -- out instantly -- yeah trying to get -- and -- and so does that seem kind of idea with political. One of the things for me that I think is really about the ways that it. Explorers. Storytelling from. Like a brand new perspective it's mostly based on color and how the movement of the color affects your mood. Are you studying -- here it is further just because it's cool screen shots. No these are actually what Michael will mock -- big screen shots of why yeah I think the game will actually look like so we can kind of look at those and and played hostility and prototype and that's of these."
" Well these are the votes so hyper America consumer all right so let's try to do is get a good feel of all Americans. Games for the integrated in my all three. I mean -- And things change obviously -- it's different from this. Chris us. And that's displayed over here.

Well -- and makes -- all the beats them move around you all the different things at the table and some for your display it's you have a lot of pictures worth. Innards of the levels you've lost the my my programs built into the system so what what you program in. So that your game they're done in C plus plus.

I don't want. But he really just set the standard for companies -- engine. The skeletons. They build the engine threat. Good job -- there. And do."
" I it."
" Special thanks to the air force for sponsoring this episode of co -- Plus to come up the river during flood season got stuck and let's check it on us now lawyer or read something about this feels candidate geek since it started."
" He was coming out comments that I was gonna humans are the ones that play through it it's fun. And it was it reminded me that this story is really great characters it's. Especially. In Pennsylvania just -- really well done getting surprised me because it consulate was. Turn around and probably doesn't that's really exciting and fun but. It reminded me that it is really come back and there's not that much climbing in the grand scheme of things aren't going to room. Why -- you guys. I think he was over have more guys jump in have to fight them think it was over have more guys have been president through and with the same process."
" So -- to the story telling is better to characters are better -- yeah you know the pacing is better you know. You don't just doesn't start as a cheater really it's arts is finding. Again what I really wanted to from the first and -- it was more -- more of sort of."
" Reader asks where you're -- editors actually the opposite if they're only claiming that make sure that everything -- initiating that they're not. -- situated at Lincoln tried it again this is really it's not finding the shooting. The findings shooting and he made it is doesn't feel like it's the difference and."
" Back. I think it's blocked from the other side."
" Right now."
" I'm impressed."
" When it's -- to do is that you eventually make your wind speeds temples better just gorgeous. It's crazy -- using gold everywhere just. Injured -- the."
" Don't even says yeah where you can walk directly up its stereo and texture and it's like wow this really ridiculous. You know they're not playing as he does say and so. Dungeon or something like that but. It's more like there's one major puzzle solving each one in Toronto like my proposals that means it's always that one major puzzle. Fans there is usually once sort of giant space and BI can be completed and 51 minutes until you end up like getting in there really enjoying that states can join the puzzle that you're doing and then like you're already out some new rookie season."
" Art than it is just beautiful look at. You're there on the ground -- the just below -- looking at this really detailed jungle looks went spike print and you look up -- they've treated. What kind of things and wow. And now president of quality and how often you looking straight up the entire time. Use your resource for their best spend -- and they always do."
" That could this -- what more proposed talking about kid I don't even know what failure talking about it in his journal he wrote that. The worthy seeker would be given a golden passport. To conquer obstacles on the journey to -- So what this is it looked at so really interest in the way -- that was at a press -- to."
" Maybe this -- bullet."
" The characters look great in uncharted one already -- the -- contagious -- insanely good I mean they're cut their stress they're dirty they're where they're not lend confidence no doubt and there I mean there are a lot of games like this that really do. End up feeling like they're just putting gasoline and everything yeah Chinese. And even and it turns and there are moments where you're like yeah this character Lucy -- this piece of the world looks shiny for more often than not. I was surprised win something -- correct rather than looking. You breakfast regularity this Chimerine is on these walls looks just like if this place had been dreamed of water a minute ago Wright and not like it's still dripping with water. And not like it's dried too much they do have a real appreciation for the subtle things that make something enjoyable way to make something real -- that makes something believable. It what's the big hurry. Hello. Jesus no votes not tracked to its. Of our favorite parts we talked about was the village when you go to that Tibetan village where there's no comment -- through yet they encourage exploration. Without having to be that direct reward through. Com that he says clever things all the villagers and every time you go to -- point -- yes something else to say after that he did it Tenet. Figure out what haven't you found. Does anyone speak English."
" I gotta tell you. --"
" These boots. It. -- Welcomes. The dialogue everywhere in this game great little things like Nguyen -- sitting on a building and their teaching music you can you can move it pulls the guidance for this. You do your daily attack pulls them off yet like. Yeah. It does look like your favorite throughout the whole game has the best manager I've ever heard game and that's because the characters are so solid and well being to begin win. It's actually kind of romantic down here on it and took it --"
" He never word chocolate -- kind of girl. Lisa well. This game like the last that started as one of the few games that field does and an actual law partner that is you know unbelievable units for the most part. Conditions you know effective about Tommy's situations and they say clever things on that it makes it more adorable go through your singles management when -- getting cost partner and incidents and he's he doesn't speak the language. You don't speak his language -- you get to see -- did he communicating as best they can look like gestures and blazers games that's awesome -- would you character you. You can understand. Survived as early as long time. What you get that the --"
" It just --"
" Yes good luck -- But that's almost impossible it."
" crossover seven and."
" One waved his game to. Part of all of over. 99% of competition does it its female characters. Are strong and they're unbelievable. There everything is valuable to historians. -- Game as a whole streak snapped I'm going to ask a -- completely and just listening from this. You're gonna go over there stakes on this nice -- Barbara performance which is going to be the wheel -- you know Graham close. Right behind this -- in -- way to get away kind of got it. I hadn't. I gotta hope that such an import. -- an underdog is its huge props for having me. Female characters that are real people and editors. There should got you into this mess he did. He got here its. I mean you know the resident. How we knew what the stakes were."
" Okay so. But we do now because all of these characters who are action."
" Movie archetypes that being stereotypes. Exist for the big bad guy -- you know he's the only one that's really stereotypical and everybody else. He's constantly surprising you because you approach a situation because you've been trained by your action movie heritage to think of the situation going to play out. Specs but they know that too and so they played out completely differently right and it's that much more -- and characters that nothing nothing is more exciting and decent prize. It's still like predictable -- it's okay. They're like hiking unsealing an audience that he still telling -- says bad -- gonna do this and that's okay and it's amazing dream and stealing his ruling -- story is by no means he did the first I've seen in the game but I mean I really appreciate like that nonlinear storytelling as well though opening sequence restart on this like. Wrecked train. -- pop out it'd be able to be injured which make you walk slower which gives you the player. More time to like stand and look around these crazy environment and it's a really moving sequence. And then you know later when you finally get to a train yard and like you didn't even click right away I'm like 083 yard -- this is the end. Oh man that's that's pretty young. It's definitely defense strange sequence I've ever seen an opinion yeah. I just did on the top of the tree and looking Washington Chicago why she expected to be some sort of like -- but to have electricity -- three -- actually didn't really like the Flintstones were the same buildings go by every -- every few seconds you know but it's not like that at all the other vehicular sequence you actually get to platform be it. Between trucks at your doing the shooting and it's not just you walked -- to -- you take governance I mean I just thought that was. A really great great way to do removing vehicular sequence and have a -- dynamic environment like. Not right. And -- it would."
" And attorneys also had a hard time finding the right words sixty million. I mean gunplay is like way better. Thank you and you need to wait I like him before it was like really hard hitting -- Where you wanna do at least -- didn't blink first and you know. And in the second one it feels like so much more like code this how they -- like this is exactly what makes. Third person shooting game makes really good."
" Happening in misses most. Receivers and their procedures do these days you know like I go from playing firefight -- Started off clearance threaded single player and surprised they don't miss it my only real miner explained about the game is that it might be top tier enemy action I think assassins. And I realize that this test and treat the whole game basically was the -- shouldn't you know him. Everything else in the environment and turning to her so cohesive and they'll -- shoot in there so effectively. Then when you see little animation jumped six clips don't look quite right it makes -- glaring."
" than than it otherwise would be like one of the things they don't like but the original was how many bullets -- takes time again in the second in the league in Bellingham -- guys died. My drills in the -- definitely not realistic rate. But he's good at like eight Kennametal to make fun and so have the occasional mosque they don't think they're they're also the guy can take X amount of million bullets and it like literally kills and what they've done for me in the south."
" There at the beginning of the game where -- executing guys and you wait perhaps the fountain in in this kind of like giant hairy you have to yeah. My regards he'd go one way around the -- and it doesn't. Q your yeah character -- with you -- that -- and part of new level like we ended up playing that's. Seventeenth time it's like it's -- there's a game lately -- yet -- and fix it though little software update that makes them. The big cleaner than those first it's frustrating."
" Didn't."
" While I do believe that I'm turning."
" Had so far it is not a perfect game to -- aren't perfect you know I find myself talking to basically. Okay let perfect exactly I noticed that sometimes -- and I noticed more and multiplayer. For the moment they're independent."
" The call levels there's so much fun thing may have to separate entire -- levels with the objectives that are. They also feel like -- the story -- here's what happened in between these two places -- personally you know or its -- it's like you are telling -- to -- our Internet reality version of threatening and there's so great that so well done and they have all the best parts of I'm very deeply essentially what you get to -- with a strong partner I was there are more stages or that. The three stages have a little bit more variety in terms of the way the way down I don't know any any he had some -- enemy changes are variations that sort of thing I'm actually really enjoyed that -- in this game even principle that matters. To all of the objective -- King of the Hill -- and all of their experience in some especially the thunder mountain which is essentially after the flag that read. Give them throw around the goals that you. Just the ability to throw things reminds you that you're running game where we jumping climbing which it. -- different something like gears of war. I mean it really does it makes the levels -- just feel more vertical gives you more authentic high cool weapons in different places and it's a lot of fun. I don't."
" They are on the look for me definitely like the the last things immediately comes from. Is that -- ovals still earn -- Atlanta Braves right or from the end. The survival when -- it yet it it's personal work. Right I think that is so unlike much I -- important Gordon and hard money it's the whole battle usually end up looking like the one spot and everyone. This is in place below ground where there might -- my right leg ends this Sunday he had just won because in -- you can all jump surrounding it needs and we're just going. We're gonna be happen. Well -- you can almost hear roundup of some other. -- up next we just separate accounting -- and being -- client makes it like so much -- right ultimately."
" One thing I was really surprised and I certainly heard about it today didn't. You really think ideas that much is actually the cinema now I don't -- this and -- I don't watch -- and -- So it shouldn't have guilty at all their -- to see -- of every multiplayer game play like halo. And -- go back to the theater and watch it actually start a multiplayer game in motion mode which gives you access to view. You know anything characters you can change like whether or not they're walking they're -- animation northern and sanitation or. Any of these number of things. You can put on a headset and I enjoy listening to use to you when you talk now. It doesn't record that's the safe zone but you didn't know you know what your dialogue at a time when you don't in the proper lines the right time. But even more fun is that when you go back -- that -- there's this cinema mode where you have. Tons of control over camera angles. This is playback. And then he did things like color stretching down yields wide angle lenses like you couldn't really go in there and we know lighting and really really super powerful and because of the game books -- I was additional maker eyewitness at least he experimenting with. Tools that they gave you in fact I think I'm going to experiment with them I don't wouldn't expect to actually release anything but I don't know that I think it's what's cool that's our division has its. That seems like a relief on powerful tool that -- talking about."
" This game reminds me of partially because of the things are so super smart about it."
" Like the writing characters. The what tells you you can't the end of the game it's. Evening also remind you thank you -- like 500 people. Game as the country someday I hope that we'll get to play games that are fast fun and engaging moment to moment hasn't turned to -- aren't just. You know media outlets aren't going to want to me and there are moments in uncharted -- see when you get what grounds."
" Does he like this policy now playing. Not quite interactive enough there but there are moments there where it's like you're reminds me you know hopefully one day we'll know. Look for now as hard as you begin to go. -- questioning and pretty mature."
" It's in the dark who looks like it hurts my eyes a little bit -- business right. Straining and attitude are -- different loser in the hand landed an Oscar honor let's -- that are. -- They aren't you really get green is really lemon garlic and I'm like I'm Ali and -- from Louisiana who looked like -- wanted to alert you that feedback that you're a good argument I think they're going to get me oh yeah oh yeah. Yeah it's pretty sad to see that's that's."
" It's. It's. Made shall -- Let's face just to make it. Months went yeah yeah yeah yeah. Yeah it's been. Yeah. I'd say in how to read. Yeah. She -- winds earlier this month. Yeah."
" Estimates. It's good luck guys and I think. --"
" Yeah."
" This. This is -- shots just been due to closely about the symmetry is that there's not really means there's like one employee here. Who kind of like keeps the machines observe their more total public opinion on any given day it's almost like there's no one here. This a place for you can contribute just put some money and if you feel like you know you wanna give back. Potentially -- spree. Plus that you have been easy dish out here where you can violent few pieces of the various life. Attractions pain is pastor -- my favorite my spirit in years is the UI work your match because there's never anyone here working if you like just --"
" War."
" That's right kids this episode of cola has brought to you by godaddy.com. In the united states air force. And Squarespace. It's."

" Street fighter here. There we'll let -- fighter."

" Not only did we begin to place a four player and it got pretty chaotic. I'm I'm wondering if it'll get better once you've got which you got people that are used to the controls and they used to working together. Because that was one of the cool things about these -- is this some of the -- were actually clearly geared for co op play like right he has."
" You Joe about BC that we mode and you stand to get a little light but if you pick somebody up and he jumped in east meaning you do that -- Toss them. No not really that big in Zimbabwe cure. -- They would vote for the top and an outlook now got a platform."

Like a brand new perspective it's mostly based on color and how the movement of the color affects your mood. Are you studying -- here it is further just because it's cool screen shots. No these are actually what Michael will mock -- big screen shots of why yeah I think the game will actually look like so we can kind of look at those and and played hostility and prototype and that's of these."
" Well these are the votes so hyper America consumer all right so let's try to do is get a good feel of all Americans. Games for the integrated in my all three.

Innards of the levels you've lost the my my programs built into the system so what what you program in. So that your game they're done in C plus plus. Okay I hit it very clear on lake and not have anything any fancy technology and so. C plus -- and."

" He was coming out comments that I was gonna humans are the ones that play through it it's fun. And it was it reminded me that this story is really great characters it's. Especially. In Pennsylvania just -- really well done getting surprised me because it consulate was. Turn around and probably doesn't that's really exciting and fun but. It reminded me that it is really come back and there's not that much climbing in the grand scheme of things aren't going to room. Why -- you guys. I think he was over have more guys jump in have to fight them think it was over have more guys have been president through and with the same process."
" So -- to the story telling is better to characters are better -- yeah you know the pacing is better you know. You don't just doesn't start as a cheater really it's arts is finding. Again what I really wanted to from the first and -- it was more -- more of sort of."
" Reader asks where you're -- editors actually the opposite if they're only claiming that make sure that everything -- initiating that they're not. -- situated at Lincoln tried it again this is really it's not finding the shooting.

" Don't even says yeah where you can walk directly up its stereo and texture and it's like wow this really ridiculous. You know they're not playing as he does say and so. Dungeon or something like that but. It's more like there's one major puzzle solving each one in Toronto like my proposals that means it's always that one major puzzle. Fans there is usually once sort of giant space and BI can be completed and 51 minutes until you end up like getting in there really enjoying that states can join the puzzle that you're doing and then like you're already out some new rookie season."
" Art than it is just beautiful look at. You're there on the ground -- the just below -- looking at this really detailed jungle looks went spike print and you look up -- they've treated.

To conquer obstacles on the journey to -- So what this is it looked at so really interest in the way -- that was at a press -- to."
" Maybe this -- bullet."
" The characters look great in uncharted one already -- the -- contagious -- insanely good I mean they're cut their stress they're dirty they're where they're not lend confidence no doubt and there I mean there are a lot of games like this that really do. End up feeling like they're just putting gasoline and everything yeah Chinese. And even and it turns and there are moments where you're like yeah this character Lucy -- this piece of the world looks shiny for more often than not. I was surprised win something -- correct rather than looking. You breakfast regularity this Chimerine is on these walls looks just like if this place had been dreamed of water a minute ago Wright and not like it's still dripping with water. And not like it's dried too much they do have a real appreciation for the subtle things that make something enjoyable way to make something real -- that makes something believable. It what's the big hurry. Hello. Jesus no votes not tracked to its. Of our favorite parts we talked about was the village when you go to that Tibetan village where there's no comment -- through yet they encourage exploration. Without having to be that direct reward through. Com that he says clever things all the villagers and every time you go to -- point -- yes something else to say after that he did it Tenet. Figure out what haven't you found. Does anyone speak English."
" I gotta tell you. --"
" These boots. It. -- Welcomes. The dialogue everywhere in this game great little things like Nguyen -- sitting on a building and their teaching music you can you can move it pulls the guidance for this. You do your daily attack pulls them off yet like. Yeah. It does look like your favorite throughout the whole game has the best manager I've ever heard game and that's because the characters are so solid and well being to begin win. It's actually kind of romantic down here on it and took it --"
" He never word chocolate -- kind of girl. Lisa well. This game like the last that started as one of the few games that field does and an actual law partner that is you know unbelievable units for the most part. Conditions you know effective about Tommy's situations and they say clever things on that it makes it more adorable go through your singles management when -- getting cost partner and incidents and he's he doesn't speak the language. You don't speak his language -- you get to see -- did he communicating as best they can look like gestures and blazers games that's awesome -- would you character you. You can understand. Survived as early as long time. What you get that the --"
" It just --"
" Yes good luck -- But that's almost impossible it."
" crossover seven and."
" One waved his game to. Part of all of over. 99% of competition does it its female characters. Are strong and they're unbelievable. There everything is valuable to historians. -- Game as a whole streak snapped I'm going to ask a -- completely and just listening from this. You're gonna go over there stakes on this nice -- Barbara performance which is going to be the wheel -- you know Graham close. Right behind this -- in -- way to get away kind of got it. I hadn't. I gotta hope that such an import. -- an underdog is its huge props for having me. Female characters that are real people and editors. There should got you into this mess he did. He got here its. I mean you know the resident. How we knew what the stakes were."
" Okay so. But we do now because all of these characters who are action."
" Movie archetypes that being stereotypes. Exist for the big bad guy -- you know he's the only one that's really stereotypical and everybody else. He's constantly surprising you because you approach a situation because you've been trained by your action movie heritage to think of the situation going to play out. Specs but they know that too and so they played out completely differently right and it's that much more -- and characters that nothing nothing is more exciting and decent prize. It's still like predictable -- it's okay. They're like hiking unsealing an audience that he still telling -- says bad -- gonna do this and that's okay and it's amazing dream and stealing his ruling -- story is by no means he did the first I've seen in the game but I mean I really appreciate like that nonlinear storytelling as well though opening sequence restart on this like. Wrecked train. -- pop out it'd be able to be injured which make you walk slower which gives you the player. More time to like stand and look around these crazy environment and it's a really moving sequence. And then you know later when you finally get to a train yard and like you didn't even click right away I'm like 083 yard -- this is the end. Oh man that's that's pretty young. It's definitely defense strange sequence I've ever seen an opinion yeah. I just did on the top of the tree and looking Washington Chicago why she expected to be some sort of like -- but to have electricity -- three -- actually didn't really like the Flintstones were the same buildings go by every -- every few seconds you know but it's not like that at all the other vehicular sequence you actually get to platform be it. Between trucks at your doing the shooting and it's not just you walked -- to -- you take governance I mean I just thought that was. A really great great way to do removing vehicular sequence and have a -- dynamic environment like. Not right. And -- it would."
" And attorneys also had a hard time finding the right words sixty million. I mean gunplay is like way better. Thank you and you need to wait I like him before it was like really hard hitting -- Where you wanna do at least -- didn't blink first and you know. And in the second one it feels like so much more like code this how they -- like this is exactly what makes. Third person shooting game makes really good."
" Happening in misses most. Receivers and their procedures do these days you know like I go from playing firefight -- Started off clearance threaded single player and surprised they don't miss it my only real miner explained about the game is that it might be top tier enemy action I think assassins. And I realize that this test and treat the whole game basically was the -- shouldn't you know him. Everything else in the environment and turning to her so cohesive and they'll -- shoot in there so effectively. Then when you see little animation jumped six clips don't look quite right it makes -- glaring."
" than than it otherwise would be like one of the things they don't like but the original was how many bullets -- takes time again in the second in the league in Bellingham -- guys died. My drills in the -- definitely not realistic rate. But he's good at like eight Kennametal to make fun and so have the occasional mosque they don't think they're they're also the guy can take X amount of million bullets and it like literally kills and what they've done for me in the south."
" There at the beginning of the game where -- executing guys and you wait perhaps the fountain in in this kind of like giant hairy you have to yeah. My regards he'd go one way around the -- and it doesn't. Q your yeah character -- with you -- that -- and part of new level like we ended up playing that's. Seventeenth time it's like it's -- there's a game lately -- yet -- and fix it though little software update that makes them. The big cleaner than those first it's frustrating."
" Didn't."
" While I do believe that I'm turning."
" Had so far it is not a perfect game to -- aren't perfect you know I find myself talking to basically. Okay let perfect exactly I noticed that sometimes -- and I noticed more and multiplayer. For the moment they're independent."
" The call levels there's so much fun thing may have to separate entire -- levels with the objectives that are. They also feel like -- the story -- here's what happened in between these two places -- personally you know or its -- it's like you are telling -- to -- our Internet reality version of threatening and there's so great that so well done and they have all the best parts of I'm very deeply essentially what you get to -- with a strong partner I was there are more stages or that. The three stages have a little bit more variety in terms of the way the way down I don't know any any he had some -- enemy changes are variations that sort of thing I'm actually really enjoyed that -- in this game even principle that matters. To all of the objective -- King of the Hill -- and all of their experience in some especially the thunder mountain which is essentially after the flag that read. Give them throw around the goals that you. Just the ability to throw things reminds you that you're running game where we jumping climbing which it. -- different something like gears of war. I mean it really does it makes the levels -- just feel more vertical gives you more authentic high cool weapons in different places and it's a lot of fun. I don't."
" They are on the look for me definitely like the the last things immediately comes from. Is that -- ovals still earn -- Atlanta Braves right or from the end. The survival when -- it yet it it's personal work. Right I think that is so unlike much I -- important Gordon and hard money it's the whole battle usually end up looking like the one spot and everyone. This is in place below ground where there might -- my right leg ends this Sunday he had just won because in -- you can all jump surrounding it needs and we're just going. We're gonna be happen. Well -- you can almost hear roundup of some other. -- up next we just separate accounting -- and being -- client makes it like so much -- right ultimately."
" One thing I was really surprised and I certainly heard about it today didn't. You really think ideas that much is actually the cinema now I don't -- this and -- I don't watch -- and -- So it shouldn't have guilty at all their -- to see -- of every multiplayer game play like halo. And -- go back to the theater and watch it actually start a multiplayer game in motion mode which gives you access to view. You know anything characters you can change like whether or not they're walking they're -- animation northern and sanitation or. Any of these number of things. You can put on a headset and I enjoy listening to use to you when you talk now. It doesn't record that's the safe zone but you didn't know you know what your dialogue at a time when you don't in the proper lines the right time. But even more fun is that when you go back -- that -- there's this cinema mode where you have. Tons of control over camera angles. This is playback. And then he did things like color stretching down yields wide angle lenses like you couldn't really go in there and we know lighting and really really super powerful and because of the game books -- I was additional maker eyewitness at least he experimenting with. Tools that they gave you in fact I think I'm going to experiment with them I don't wouldn't expect to actually release anything but I don't know that I think it's what's cool that's our division has its. That seems like a relief on powerful tool that -- talking about."
" This game reminds me of partially because of the things are so super smart about it."
" Like the writing characters. The what tells you you can't the end of the game it's. Evening also remind you thank you -- like 500 people. Game as the country someday I hope that we'll get to play games that are fast fun and engaging moment to moment hasn't turned to -- aren't just. You know media outlets aren't going to want to me and there are moments in uncharted -- see when you get what grounds."
" Does he like this policy now playing. Not quite interactive enough there but there are moments there where it's like you're reminds me you know hopefully one day we'll know. Look for now as hard as you begin to go. -- questioning and pretty mature."
" It's in the dark who looks like it hurts my eyes a little bit -- business right. Straining and attitude are -- different loser in the hand landed an Oscar honor let's -- that are. -- They aren't you really get green is really lemon garlic and I'm like I'm Ali and -- from Louisiana who looked like -- wanted to alert you that feedback that you're a good argument I think they're going to get me oh yeah oh yeah. Yeah it's pretty sad to see that's that's."
" It's. It's. Made shall -- Let's face just to make it. Months went yeah yeah yeah yeah. Yeah it's been. Yeah. I'd say in how to read. Yeah. She -- winds earlier this month. Yeah."
" Estimates. It's good luck guys and I think. --"
" Yeah."
" This. This is -- shots just been due to closely about the symmetry is that there's not really means there's like one employee here. Who kind of like keeps the machines observe their more total public opinion on any given day it's almost like there's no one here. This a place for you can contribute just put some money and if you feel like you know you wanna give back. Potentially -- spree. Plus that you have been easy dish out here where you can violent few pieces of the various life. Attractions pain is pastor -- my favorite my spirit in years is the UI work your match because there's never anyone here working if you like just --"

Great show! I'm really loving Uncharted 2. I'm really loving the multiplayer, I'm very much into Gears 2 multiplayer but it has some issues that really piss me off. Uncharted's cover system reminds me of that, but adds a lot to the experience with its emphasis on thinking vertically.

No Brutal?
I was looking foward to seeing what you guys thought of Brutal Legend. The only reason I can think of that you wouldn't cover it is because of all the ads on this site.jackierulesall

Have you played Brutal Legend? For a long segment like this, Uncharted 2 is much more appropriate.

Wow.
Yeah I have. I'd still be interested in seeing it covered. It could be in a shorter segment. They could have easily covered it instead of maybe the small preview of New Super Mario Bros.. I still enjoyed the show I just appreciate their opinion and like to see the multiple viewpoints the show can offer. I really want to play Uncharted 2 but I don't have the cash to buy both. I plan on getting it later.jackierulesall
