If you get it, and I hope it goes well, will you buy a life-size cardboard cutout of Pittsburgh Steeler's QB Ben Rothlisbergerrererer and coddle his godly football testes? just like ever pitt fan, and you must prepare for this type of adaptation.

I wouldn't be expecting Al Roker today...

During the aftershow, Fez came in after talking on the phone to Sirius people and they announced that Al would be on an ISDN line...then he said a little while later, that they didn't think they could get the line to work, so he would be on the phone...and Ron pretty much shot the idea down, but would go ahead with it only if Lil Jimmy was in studio as well.

So we'll see.

[FunkyDrummer]

Today's song is "Loco en el Coco" by Cyprus Hill.

Today's Song is Cypress Hill -Loco en el Coco (Insane In The Brain)

[KnoxHarrington]

Opener: A-Rod spewing out lines fed to him by a PR firm, into Cypress Hill "Loco en el Coco" (Spanish version of "Insane In The Brain")

[KingGeno]

Fuck ARod, and his phony ass.

I loved how yesterday Dave changed his stance on steroids and had an "ok, let it go already" attitude all of a sudden. Yawn.

Ohhhhhhh. Thanks Knox.

This song is way cooler in Spanish.

Spanish is a great language to rap in: check out the song "Si Senor" by Control Machete., used in the great movie "Amores Perros".

Love Cypress only like Hill!

[~Katja~]

oh man, Ron has not seen Run Lola Run?

[KnoxHarrington]

oh man, Ron has not seen Run Lola Run?

He's seen that movie, but not "The International", Twyker's new one.

[biggestmexi]

Which one B-Real?

yes. he used to wear a hat like that with his facial hair like that. it was odd.

[hammersavage]

oh man, Ron has not seen Run Lola Run?

Love that film

The Seven games that Ron may be talking about: 7 Games that Changed the World (http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/7-games-that-changed-the-world/7-games-that-changed-the-world/1285449)

i disagree with some of the list, and it is too short.

[~Katja~]

The princess and the warrior was awesome!

[biggestmexi]

Did he smell like Otto's jacket?

he said it was his friends mary and jane. Although i never met them.

[ChrisTheCop]

One I'd definitely disagree with is "World of Warcraft". Great game, and the one that made MMORPG's mainstream, but that spot belongs to "Everquest".

[Friday]

oh man, Ron has not seen Run Lola Run?

yah... that surprised me too. i actually own that movie... it's a good one.

[KnoxHarrington]

Something tells me that if they call the EAS on satellite radio, we're all fucked already, and the "emergency information" they give us is "You may now shit your pants."

[PD]

chuckwagon!!

[biggestmexi]

Which one B-Real?

http://www.starvedrocklodge.com/_data/media/chefcharlie.jpg

yes he was a reason i loved to cook maybe

[disneyspy]

chuckwagon knows too much about amber alerts...

[KnoxHarrington]

They started breaking in for Amber Alerts here too. They played them out of the state police HQ, and they were completely indecipherable. It sounded like a shitty cell phone call.

[PD]

they were doing amber alerts on Long Island traffic billboards (southern state & northern state).

for a bit (maybe a year) they did emergency broadcasts for bad weather- which was stupid

[ANC]

Yeah they do that on the NJ Turnpike too..

[ToiletCrusher]

they run amber alerts here on the highway signs. But they are all from downstate.

[KingGeno]

Mega Man 2 led to alcoholism at the age of 10.

[biggestmexi]

i cant get it at my work.

i mean on it, whats on the list.

[Servo]

First video game system for me: Atari 2600.

This list is better:

[nate1000]

Doom- good call- very first FPS

[KingGeno]

Rise of the Triad.

Shrooms Mode.

The best! :thumbup:

Final Fantasy XI destroys World of Warcraft. WoW is pussy shit.

[EliSnow]

I would have went with Castle Wolfenstein because without it, there's no Doom.

Tetris has to be on the list.

[biggestmexi]

http://www.trustedreviews.com/images/article/inline/3413-doom2.jpg






Warcraft is gay.

[ANC]

i played Frogger and Qbert on my Commodore 64.
yep. i am just that cewl.

I had those on my Commodore 64, but was addicted to Tapper.. It teaches kids to tend bar and not upset drunks.

*not to mention my secret copy of Leisure Suit Larry :thumbup:

[Hottub]

Doom- good call- very first FPS

Wolfenstein 3-D.
I still have it.

[Furtherman]

I never picked Ron as a video game player.

[EliSnow]

Doom- good call- very first FPS

Didn't wolfenstein come before Doom?

[KnoxHarrington]

I would have went with Castle Wolfenstein because without it, there's no Doom.

Tetris has to be on the list.

Yeah, this list seems to oddly pick games that were successors to the real trailblazing games, like "World of Warcraft" instead of "Everquest".

And "Tetris" totally needed to make the list as the godfather of the "casual game".

[ToiletCrusher]

Doom- good call- very first FPS

wolfenstein was but its the exact same engine.

[ralphbxny]

Tecmo was the shit!!! In College we wouldnt sleep we would just play all night!!!

[Dash77]

Double dribble was so shitty...

[ANC]

Tecmo was the shit!!! In College we wouldnt sleep we would just play all night!!!

Double dribble was so shitty...

"Double Dwibble" Nintendo's attempt to put voice audio on that system..

[MisterSmith]

I'm just catching up to the thread, but did anybody say Solitaire yet?vvI think anybody who has used a computer has probably taken a shot at Solitaire.

The main reason it was included was to get people used to using a mouse, pointing, and clicking.

[KnoxHarrington]

how about "sims" ...i never played but it was big

Yeah, I'd have put "SimCity" on the list as the godfather of the "God game".

[ANC]

GTA1 sucked ass..

[zman81]

Blades of Steel

Hell yeah! 2 second goals

[EliSnow]

how about "sims" ...i never played but it was big

I say "Sim City."

[styckx]

Adventure for Atari. The first game developed that made me throw my controller at the TV

GTA1 sucked ass..

GTA2 was only slightly better. They pretty much re-invented the game with GTA3.

Sims 3 is coming out soon. I've heard that you'll be able to connect your neighborhood of Sims to other people's online and let your Sims get to know theirs.

[KingGeno]

Wii Sports is the best selling game of all-time. Pack in, but it still counts.

Blades of Steel

We used to drink and play the hell out of that game. Blades of Steel ruled. :thumbup:

Why b/c you have complete control over the dudes.

[comp_atkins]

q-bert.

tetris

they should all be on the list

[KingGeno]

Don't forget the 'cool' fights!

And the intermission space shooters :p

[KnoxHarrington]

Wii Sports is the best selling game of all-time. Pack in, but it still counts.

One of the problems with the Wii, business-wise, is that a lot of people never buy another game for it. They just play that one.

[zman81]

Beating off doesn't count

[ANC]

[Dash77]

Tron is a good movie

[zman81]

And the intermission space shooters :p

I hate hockey but that game was great

[KnoxHarrington]

My favorite Pac Man version was always Super Pac Man. I loved when Pac-Man got huge and turned into a total ass-kicker.

Past that, the sequels to Pac-Man got dumber and dumber.

What a bizarre game that was.

[FCDJ]

I would have thought that Dragon's Lair would have been on the list. It was that Laser disc cartoon game that looked incredible and everyone played it.

[ANC]

Radio Physic?

http://www.scienceteecher.com/radio_physics_tie_closeup.jpg

what does that have to do with anything?

[SP1!]

Maybe sheepy put out over the weekend and put fez in a great mood, its pretty obvious that his mood is really improved.

[nate1000]

GTA2 was only slightly better. They pretty much re-invented the game with GTA3.


GTA3's gameplay is what I was referring to

[zman81]

I hate hockey but that game was great

Bite your tongue. Hockey is god's gift to the world

[KingGeno]

I can't recommend this book enough, about Nintendo's early days and when they were entering the North American market. really interesting read.

Game Over: Press Start to Continue - at Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/Game-Over-Press-Start-Continue/dp/0966961706)

it is referenced tons and tons and tons.

[Dash77]

Fez is the cheapest rich man..

[jauble]

Maybe sheepy put out over the weekend and put fez in a great mood, its pretty obvious that his mood is really improved.

I think for him it is like stretching when you haven't done anything for awhile. It feels better just to get started.

Virgil's is GREAT BBQ.



STARVIN!!!!

I know right? You had to save Aerosmith from a corrupt goverment force. :huh:

[EliSnow]

I would have thought that Dragon's Lair would have been on the list. It was that Laser disc cartoon game that looked incredible and everyone played it.

It didn't "change the world," even the video game world. There weren't even any imitators.

Plus, I didn't see "everyone playing it" the way they did with other games.

[ralphbxny]

Virgils is ok but there is better BBQ in NYC. Virgils is like Dallas BBQ. Fast food BBQ.

[KnoxHarrington]

It didn't "change the world," even the video game world. There weren't even any imitators.

Plus, I didn't see "everyone playing it" the way they did with other games.

Most people's experience with the game was much like mine: you pay a buck to play it, you die within like 30 seconds, and you say "Fuck this, I'm gonna play Galaga again".

I've never been, but I hear the best BBQ is at Blue Smoke.

[ToiletCrusher]

what's that extra b for?

[EliSnow]

Most people's experience with the game was much like mine: you pay a buck to play it, you die within like 30 seconds, and you say "Fuck this, I'm gonna play Galaga again".

Exactly.

You had to make a decision every couple of seconds, and it was always a binary one: do something or don't do it.

[MisterSmith]

It didn't "change the world," even the video game world. There weren't even any imitators.

Plus, I didn't see "everyone playing it" the way they did with other games.

I hate to disagree, but Space Ace was an imitator of Dragon's Lair.

I agree that both games sucked out loud, but they were trying something new for the time.

Here's my list of the 7 games that changed the world (but I think there should be more than 7):

Pong -- first video game anyone could play
Space Invaders -- first really big video game
Pac-Man -- first video game that really spawned a mainstream sensation
Doom -- grand-daddy of the FPS (yeah, look upthread for people saying Castle Wolfenstein was first, but I think Doom really set the pattern for these games)
Everquest -- first MMORPG
SimCity -- first "God Game"
Tetris -- first "casual game"

I hate to disagree, but Space Ace was an imitator of Dragon's Lair.

I never heard of it or played it.

I agree that both games sucked out loud, but they were trying something new for the time.

I don't disagree that they were innovative. However, it failed.

Yes Ron, you are the only one that misses Earl.

Here's my list of the 7 games that changed the world (but I think there should be more than 7):


Everquest -- first MMORPG




Not true

Ichiban/Spy Report/Radio Psychic/whatever the bit is now: Senate passes the stimulus package, 61-37, with 4 Republicans crossing over to vote for it.

[KnoxHarrington]

Not true

Yeah, there were MUDs and that type of thing before, but Everquest invented the form that WOW would go on to perfect.

[ToiletCrusher]

That's a typo

i think we're up to 3 references now.

I think Space Ace was made by the same company as Dragon's Lair.

[KnoxHarrington]

I thought it was fairly clear they were setting up Two-Face to be the villain in #3.

[KnoxHarrington]

I think any superhero story is going to have a problem with the villain, and establishing their motivation. The Dark Knight did about as well as anything could by just saying, basically, that there is no reason for The Joker to do what he does -- he just wants to do it. They don't even give him a real origin story -- his story keeps changing over the course of the movie.

[ToiletCrusher]

You know what I always say

"Nothing else matters"

that's my motto. Bless that black album for giving me guidance.

[nate1000]

srsly, Ronnie, you don't HAVE to take the trucker calls.

[EliSnow]

I thought it was fairly clear they were setting up Two-Face to be the villain in #3.

It was, until about 3 minutes before the end of the movie. Then it became clear they weren't.

[comp_atkins]

I was Obsessed with Civ!!! Holy S. I didnt sleep more than 2 hours a night to play!

one more turn...

[zman81]

There was the scene when Bale asked if the new armor could stop a dog, and Freeman says "Even a cat" I'm saying catwoman. A friend of mine also saw some evidence of riddler coming up

Citizen Kane, fucking blows

damn I was trying to find a picture of The Scoutmaster "Go get 'em scouts!"

[KingGeno]

Great geekie show today. Diggin' it a lot.

As far as old movies I don't get or care about, it's gotta be Citizen Kane. Yawn.

[A.J.]

Gotta agree with Ronnie on Gone With the Wind. I've tried watching it and switch it off everytime.

[kdubya]

May not be a great, but I can't stand the movie Braveheart

[ANC]

<- Did not like Rebel Without A Cause..

[KnoxHarrington]

Here's the AFI list if you need some inspiration:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFI%27s_100_Years..._100_Movies

Looking at it, I'm going with "Singin' In The Rain", much for Ronnie's reasons -- musicals just don't do it for me.

Im just saying the villain in the whole.

The joker - hes a bit smart
Penguin - fat.
poison ivy - can control plants and can kill you with a kiss.
cat women - dresses in leather and uses a whip (ie Indiana Jones)

[foodcourtdruide]

gasp! I say Fiddler on the Roof.

[hexy68]

"Chariots of Fire" suked ass :thumbdown:

I tried to watch Dr. Ziavago... I just can't bring myself to care.

[EliSnow]

His "rogues gallery" is usually pointed to as one of the best. The Joker, Two-Face, the Riddler, Catwoman and Penguin are some of the most recognizable villains in pop culture.

Spider-man and the Flash rank up there as well, although the Flash's villains aren't really known beyond comic fans.

The hero with perhaps the weakest villains is Superman. After Lex Luthor and Brainiac, there is a huge drop-off.

[Misteriosa]

i dont get "West Side Story"..

i fall asleep EVERY TIME i try to see it

[KingGeno]

Clockwork Orange is so overrated.

I was confused by Barton Fink, then once it sunk in I loved it..

[disneyspy]

i know you're considered a racist to say it but SHINDLER'S LIST is way over rated in my book

[MisterSmith]

I never heard of it or played it.
It was almost exactly like Dragon's Lair but was in outer space. It was essentially a Don Bleuth animated video game.

I don't disagree that they were innovative. However, it failed.
Yeah, game play on both completely sucked. Your reaction time had to be Jedi quick or you were going to die. And you already said it was a binary choice, so you either went left or right, up or down, etc. The intro to the game was 100 times more entertaining than playing the game itself.

[nate1000]

I can watch it on a continuous loop.

They are known. dont get me wrong. they are still pathetic.

they are all just really criminal masterminds.

said it before and i'll say it again: caddyshack and shawshank redemption.

oh, and arrested development for tv.

The Joker's bit isn't that he's smart -- it's that he so f'n crazy.

I won't counter on Penguin or Poison Ivy, but Catwoman's bit is the whole femme fatale aspect. She can be good or bad, and fits in both worlds. She may be the most influential female comic book character there is.

[SP1!]

<- Did not like Rebel Without A Cause..

Thats crazy talk, good film.


Pulp Fiction? Hes listening to the wrong show.

Even more than Jean Grey/Phoenix

[KnoxHarrington]

Caddyshack is a series of great bits and good lines strewn throughout a fairly weak movie as a whole. If Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight, or Bill Murray is not on the screen, start fast-forwarding.

They are all bent on destruction and crazy.

And cat women is a female in a comic book. so according to comic book guys thats how how females are.

What about Wonder woman?

[foodcourtdruide]

It was okay, but I guess it doesn't hold up over time.

Saw it for the first time about 6 years ago, and absolutely was able to relate to it and loved it.

[KnoxHarrington]

"Birth of a Nation". They continue to show it in film school as the first real movie, and that's true, but it's a dreadful movie that only Anthony Cumia could love.

[SP1!]

It was okay, but I guess it doesn't hold up over time.

I think it did a great job showing teen angst even though none of them were really teens.

[EliSnow]

Not really. Catwoman is not a criminal mastermind. The Joker may be a mastermind, but he's more of an anarchist/nutjob than what I think of as a "criminal mastermind."

And my point about them being known is that they are considered to be so good, and that's why people know them. Now the '60's Batman television series and Batman and Robin may have portayed them badly, but I think when you have a good writer behind them, they're not pathetic, at least compared to other villains in comic books.
