After this I am really looking forward to the future episodes of mini-GUP, though I don't know how in hell you'll keep them down to 15 mins and include 3 or 4 threads! xD We'll find a way, no doubt. Its cool to have free licence to spy on people as well Tongue Mwuhahahahaa!

hahahha X-D I wasn't aware it was such a craved voice type. Thank you!!

In response to your conversation about blood and peoples issues in it. I find it funny, because almost anything with blood in it (movies, video games, anime) does not phase me... though there is 1 thing that makes me sick to my stomach. If you play Part 3 of Die Hard Trilogy on PS1 with blood on at certain levels, the blood that covers the windshield just seems disgusting for some strange reason.... I think that if you have the option to change the level of blood, its no real problem Smile
but then again, some games just cannot do without it Big Grin

good podcast as usual guys Big Grin

Enjoyed the MW2 part of the podcast but I must admit I kind of found the discussion/rant on the banning and gore part just a little boring. I have heard many sites and a few podcasts in the past all express at one point or another their opinions on what should be and what should not be allowed in games and how people have a right. The outcome is always the same and the rants by the writer/podcast are always the same with the same attacks, defense being taken.


Good podcast all around. A lot smoother then some of the older ones.

Good podcast and i'm looking forward to the G.U Minis or whatever your calling them, i'm looking even more forward to what advances you'll make when we get more community members Smile
I'm also interested to hear what guests you'll be having, i think you mentioned that so i'm wondering who you'll get, hopefully Jamie will be back on a podcast sometime soon (hint) Tongue

P.S - Still waiting for Member of the Month xD

Gloat while you can, but I'm still mad at you guys for calling us Aussies 'soft'. We got more balls then you Canadians, English and Americans put together. Yeah that's right, I went there. Nah, but jokes aside, its just our politicians who are soft. The same guy who doesn't want an R18+ rating for games in Australia, Michael Atkinson who was the one quoted in the podcast is trying to ban Modern Warfare 2 and its quite possible he will. It's as if he thinks that violent games will increase crime rates and somehow magically find their way into the hands of a 5 year old who will be scarred for life by playing it. He says he doesn't even trust the classification board saying they are trying to push through these violent games, this guy is just a total idiot.

Yeah, that Atkinson guy sounds like the Aussie Jack Thompson =/. Ludicrous opinions, armageddon-like predictions all based on kids playing games they shouldn't, and probably wouldn't, be playing.

Besides, every last one of my friends and I played GTA3 when it came out, and we were like, 13 at the time xD. Played all sorts of crime and shooter games, LOTS of Goldeneye, yet look at that, me and my friends are pretty much the least likely people to get unnecessarily violent. People with a lack of education are more likely to be violent than people who go through school, so maybe they should push their attention towards the drop out rate, and forget about their crazed assumptions about video games.

And trust me, I don't think Aussies are soft xD.

I've been a bad Unionite (I still think that we should call ourselves that) and still not listened to any of the recent podcasts... Perhaps I shall do that this afternoon whilst printing out some more cover letters to go with my CV. Job hunting is a bish.
