Who would’ve thought that Skrillex and Damian Marley would ever make music together… Not bad.
This podcast and the Nerdist both mentioned Nick Offerman today. He truly is magic.
I can not wait to see this film. I am crossing my fingers that it hits some festivals I can attend.
Great episode! I feel the same way about GTA as Jordan, although GTA4 did pull me in a lot though. Also, Call of Duty does have pretty generous aim snap, but only in the single player and zombies. Pulling the trigger snaps the aimer to an enemies chest thats relatively close to where your aiming
I never heard the music in the field-burning mission.. perhaps because I never used the flamethrower? I just stealthed through it for the most part, and threw molotovs into each field section from the cover of a nearby field, and just picked off the scrambling workers with silenced assault rifles..
Giant cats, you say?

I’m completely addicted to both P4 Golden and the soundtrack. Excellent pick for the opening music! BTW, the TV listings option from the main menu has a music player for times when network connections aren’t available and you just wanna rock out to some J-Pop
GTA VI: Inside the Cubicle equals my mental attitude everyday at my call center
I’m sure other people will have said this already by now, but you definitely get high during the fielding burning part of Far Cry 3. That’s why he’s saying all kinds of weird things and the screen goes all wobbly.
Regarding comic movies that also look good.
Tropic Thunder springs to mind.
Hey K&E,
Did you ever play Parasite Eve? I loved that game, and had a great mix of RPG and Survivor Horror. The second was great as well, but even more Horror and less RPG.
heres the story of the guy who was fired for his video game that he made http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2013/01/30/game-developer-draws-ire.html
Haven’t played Farcry 3 yet, but it sounds pretty awesome. (Played 1, skipped 2).
However, as far as in game music that comes out of nowhere, and I’m shocked that this wasn’t talked about right after the Farcry song since you mentioned it, but this music moved me. This is up there in one of my favorite video game moments of all time.
Jose Gonzalez “Far Away” in Red Dead Redemption. So good!

Another great show guys! The second I can get my eyes on Toy’s House, I’m going to make that happen.
Hi,
Love your show. Just thought on a joke on this whole police raid on those kids.
“So the police raided the house, and found out, that not only no criminal act was commited, but also no World of warcraft was played. One of the police men suggested, that next time they should PVP the place, and save the men power.”

The authorities responded quickly, and forcefully, when a neighbor reported exactly what the boys were shouting at each other about.
But according to witnesses, police were disappointed to find that the young men were only playing a game called ‘The Simpsons: Tapped Out’, and that there were no actual donuts on the premises to confiscate.
Street Fighter 2 was my first fighting game, and the first time I saw it was in an arcade. I think I was around 11 so of course I went straight for Blanka. There was an older kid standing nearby, and when he saw me choose Blanka he gave me a condescending look and shook his head. He really made me feel like shit.
Fuck that kid.
Love that FC3 scene! My guy definitely got high when burning the fields. The colors got really vivid and the periphery had a softer focus. Maybe its a PC/console thing?
