Episode 115 - Wonky - inFamous, Drag Me to Hell, E3 preview, '77 trailer, and Dan Becomes a Man!

[rokov]

Best Dan becomes a man segment ever. I've been playing for 24 years and I've forgotten how difficult/exciting it was at first, it was great to get reminded of that. Incidentally, if playing a partially barred E was painful, I'm glad you didn't try to teach him an open B7. That's the one that really hurt for me back then.

Also, I must agree with all the others who have said that it was nice to see you guys film outside. Hopefully you'll be doing more of it in the future.

DRAG ME TO HELL is absolutely sensational!!

Shame on the people who aren't flocking to see it. They're probably waiting for the next worthless, cynical remake to come out.

I love TRS, and I think you guys could do another super successful show just talking about shit outside like your beginning segment. I love the beginning segments, and I am always sad to see the the "incoming message" screen.

Something a little more casual, like a Diggnation/TRS hybrid filmed outdoors would be AMAZING.

Also, great episode guys, and Mike you are doing an awesome job!

Even after all these years, "field trips" are still so liberating and fun . . . great show. I just picked a guitar up not too long ago so I laughed when Dan mentioned pain . . . why I refer to the guitar as "my finger garrote." Probably my favorite Dan becomes a man . . . the tea one was great, but hey, they were in london - anything would have been great. (sounds like a rip but not meant to be - just too lazy to rephrase)

Seeing you three "yukkin it up" is like watching John Candy and Steve Martin together - good stuff.

Gotta disagree about Subway's V (I call it a canoe) -cut... it might be good for Meatball w/ Cheese or something saucey like that... but for a plain ole' Spicey Italian, or other deli meat like Turkey its bad and causes the stuff to fall out

Saw drag me to hell last night. I was somewhat disapointed. I am a big Raimi fan, however, I felt that the entire third act was built around and building up to the twist/big reviel, that I as well as all people I saw it with had figured out the first time we were shown the envelope. I also thought that they brought up the coin too many times after it was initially introduced as well as too many close ups on the envelope. Overall, it was very enjoyable.

I LOVE that song! Hilarious! But I think they'd probably have problems with rights and whatnot. But you're right, that would be greatness!

Now, on to my thoughts on the episode. I have to agree with everybody, the outside filming was great! Beautiful and just seemed like it was more comfortable. Also helped that the location was spectacular! More outside episodes please!

I was also thinking "Star Fox" when they were listing off Nintendo franchises. Although I think F-Zero would be kinda hard to pull off with the motion controls considering the insane speed and right angle turns etc.

No one mentioned it in their reviews of inFamous, but I was surprised at how bad the animations for the lip syncing and such were in the game. Especially when the rest of the game is animated so fluidly.
