4PP 227: The AV Show

Just gotta wait for the iTunes.

Cheers guys.

Whooo! Listening to it now.

Shame you didn't use Reading Rainbow for the musical transitions (although that was a joke from hours and hours before the podcast recording... but still).

Listening to it now, pretty hilarious.

Sweet! Now work tomorrow will be great! Cheers!

A few little things about TF2 going F2P. People downloading the game for free do initially have free accounts, with limitations, but after buying anything from the Mann Co. store your account automatically gets upgraded to a premium account, even if it's the cheapest item avaliable. So really, to get every feature the game has to offer you'll spend 50 cents/pence.

Either way, nice to hear it mentioned!

Fear 3 was really fun when I played multiplayer. Co-Op with Fettel is one of the best gaming experiences ever. Also multiplayer Kings is kind of fun but a bit boring, while Suicide is slightly different from the usual horde mode that will probably bring you back every so often.

Fun action game, not so good horror game, Fear is mostly everyone in Fear of Alma than the player in Fear.

Thank god you added the Garage Battle from Fear 1.
I bought Fear 1-2 for 10 bucks for the Xbox on Saturday.

Fear 1: Loved it for its SEXY Slow motion kills, Sadly No Subtitles so I didn't catch the story alot.
I actually got scared by the Assassins, Probably Favorite shooter, But doesn't pass COD4.. sorry .

Fear 2: Not as good as Fear 1, Still enjoyed the shooting and the atmosphere but not as good as Fear 1. Also Kinda Short... Whatever, still enjoyed the story, Stokes and the Ending Scene. Ya know what I'm Saying? I loooooove Alma!

I'm going to rent Shadows of the Damned soon. Also SOOO HYPED for Catherine! Should I preorder the Deluxe Editions? Any thoughts on this, Worth it or not?

The "Star" talk, I remember this One Idol trying to be more popular by making her own Video with a dude. It sucked... literally...
I think she made another video with a group of dudes, but I dunno... I was turned off from the first video.

All this talk of Hitman has got buying a copy of Blood Money and dusting off the ol ps2.

Yeah the hitman talk had me pick one up for 12 dollars :P Best 12 dollars ever spent.

man...I saw that hitman collection for the ps2 for like 20 dollars a while back. I should go back and see if it's still there...

Many thanks to Nolan for reminding me about my 600 coins I almost lost. I got a washcloth and a pouch. Better than nothing I guess?

As for child murder: regardless whether it's different or not, it would still be hard to make most players not feel bad about killing a random kid in a video game. I remember reading that Bully purposely tried to make the fighting look less brutal/painful (a complete 180 from The Warriors).

hahaha you guys are awesome keep up the good work

Man David is a mood tonight. Seemed like he just wanted to pick a fight.

Great show guys. In previous shows you got me to try Red Faction Guerrilla and I love it. You've just convinced me to hunt down Blood Money and Bully.

I really enjoyed Shadows of the Damned. Sure the gameplay is a 6/10 but the story and personality of the game had me hooked. Even the credits were amusing with information about shooting in hell and the type of lens used on cameras. Developers should take note and try to inject more character into games how Suda or Doublefine manages. For instance Dead Space 2 was a very good & a very polished game but completely lacked character. Everything felt cookie cutter and sterilized. Personality can go a long way.

oh and btw, TF2 now has two kinds of accounts, premium and free. As soon as you buy even 1 item from the in-game store, which the lowest item is 29 cents, then you get a premium account with all perks and stuff attached.

I really need to build a game-ready PC...

Bully is one of my favorite games of all time. I wouldn't say the tasks and fights are groundbreaking or the best, but the atmosphere and environment and the world itself is so endearing, charming, and just plain fun. I love that almost everyone has their own personality, unlike in GTA games (granted, the world is much smaller). But I get disappointed whenever I see people say, "I wish Bully had guns." Rubber band ball > gun. This isn't Battle Royale!

I love hearing personal Hitman stories. XD I'm pretty bad at the game and usually have to improvise/reload.

Glad to see David be inspired by nicks play-through of hitman. If you ever try to run and gun in hitman and don't enjoy the game, theres the issue :p

Damn, why is David such an ass on this podcast.. it's annoying and almost distracting.

David had his period this episode. Lol. Can't stand the guy sometimes regardless, but ehh. The podcast is always one of the best.
