The Uncharted 3 Beta has arrived and the gang could not be happier. This episode, Astharis, Colin, Lauren, and Darryl sit down to talk about various issues in the gaming industry. They start off by recapping what happened last episode and read your comments about what you thought on E3 this year. Then, they go into an in depth discussion about the new Uncharted 3 multiplayer beta. Do they like it; do they hate it? Who’s to say! They spend a little time talking about what their gaming plans are for this summer which ends up to everyone having to admit to their piles of shame. They round out the show with discussion about the new copyright bill in America that could affect us all. How will it turn out? Listen in to find out.

Pumping doesn't only serve as T-bagging, I use the pump action to point in a direction all the time in co-op in Uncharted 2. It doesn't work all the time...but it works

I prefer the Oh Snap! taunt. It just looks cool. Speaking of taunt karma I RPGed two guys getting the High Five medal after they killed me. But I never get offended by it. It's all in fun. I rarely taunt because in true UC fashion taunters always get killed.

I'm sad that the dragon sniper wasn't mentioned. I like the fact that I'm one of the rare players who uses that as their primary. Turret users beware, I'll shoot your head.

Great show! ^^

Oh, and Nier is good though it's a pain on the ass to platinum. Upgrading all the weapons took me 24 hours alone. Listen to music or podcasts, it's a long ride.

Heh, Zedboy? I guess that works. Zedboy though, not Zedgirl. Don't worry though, I have no official pronunciation for Zeruel. I usually say it as Ze'rule (the E in ze being like in echo). You guys said it fine though.

Thanks for reading my comment and responding to it. I agree that E3 in it's original form was a revealing venue. My point was just that this is how I view it now.

Sorry Lauren, I guess I came across wrong. Because I don't want it to be more of what we already know is coming out. I would love to go into an E3 and get surprised with 20 new titles. It's just with the internet and the demanding fans as it is now, companies seem to be losing control of secrecy. And that was my point, I try not to expect something new.

I also have to agree with Darryl on the sportsmanship. I've had a history of early MetalOfHonor and CallOfDuty and I have to say that 'teabagging' has always been a way of 'rubbing the face in the dirt'. Any way of promoting that just doesn't settle with me. Truthfully, it partly turned me off on the idea of downloading UC3 beta when I heard you all mention that. But that's just me, I don't find rivalries like that fun when I play games.

Great show, and I got a chuckle at my name being fumbled on. Brovo to Colin on the fine-print read. Also, it sounded like the birds wanted in on the game selection there Lauren.

Tea bagging has been around since forever, it's just part of the competitive culture. It isn't as apparent when playing with strangers, but it's just plain fun when playing with friends. It's the same as saying 'you've just been schooled' or 'in your face' in a game of basketball.
