Welcome to No Prisoners, No Mercy show 69.

This week the fabulous sisters (if we do say so ourself) talk about pink caddilacs, ogres In Nagrand wearing Manziers, sister Fran's schoool of leveling (ding!), getting frelled by Blizzard as well as...

- Rep mounts in Wow and Lotro where Julie puts her nose to the grindstone and grinds it back to the medula oblongata

- Mafia II

- Zynga finds out a rose by any other name does not smell as sweet

- Final Fantasy XIV

- The Schwarzenegger double standard

- "Banned in Boston" - Medal of Honor

- EA finds also finds out that a rose by any other name does smell as sweet as long as it isn't spelled E-D-G-E. The sisters realize this is Deja Vu all over again with Groucho Marx.

- NC Soft gets hit with a suit that claims the Devil didn't make the plaintiff do it even though he hasn't bathed in 20,000 hours.

- EA and APB on the PDQ and the "real" story

- The sisters take a brief look at a bunker somewhere in Stockholm, Sweden

- Love is in the virtual air and uses augmented reality

- Our good friend and author J.T. Hamption stops by briefly at the end of the show to share Sister Julie's birthday and chat about the Chicago Comic Con.

Additional Notes:

Unamused, Warner Bros. requested that the Marx Brothers at least outline the premise of their film. Groucho responded with an utterly ridiculous storyline, and, sure enough, received another stern letter requesting clarification. He obliged and went on to describe a plot even more preposterous than the first, claiming that he, Groucho, would be playing “Bordello, the sweetheart of Humphrey Bogart.” No doubt exasperated, Warner Bros. did not respond. A Night in Casablanca was released in 1946.

Bobby Kotick et al, easy going guys, slap a bear in the face. Blizzard tries to turn rotten lemons into lemonade and fails, but manages to keep spaceships out of World of Warcraft (sort of). The sisters step through the really, REALLY Dark Portal with some fantastic ideas from The Pink Pigtail Inn [http://www.pinkpigtailinn.com/] and realize that it’s the journey that counts and not the destination. Breakfast isn’t ready because Julie can’t fry an egg in her bra, but the sisters pass the roles anyway. And Fran puzzles out the first great game.

Welcome to route 66! This was a week of bad computers, Everquest 2 players getting slapped down and the great wall of SOE going up. Along the way we find out why you can start sending your hate mail to Mickey Rat, and why Senator Al Franken is concerned about two companies that have been stomping around yelling Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum (we agree). We fill out the rest of the show with talk of trailers and why Ed Norton is out and Karl Urban is in.

Welcome to Show 64!

 

This week it’s back to the future.  No, not some movie about time travel. We mean back to the old format - Just two nuns, Fran’s delightful sense of humor and the news of the week.

 

 

Grabbing for the brass ring or the nose ring?

Fad  or Fame? Day late and Dollar Short?

The Department of Homeland IN-security

 What do you call a football stadium full of lawyers?

“Will the defendants in rows A through F please rise?”

And a discussion prompted by the new All Points Bulletin game:

What would you put up with in a game to keep the Free in “Free to Play”? What would you put up with in your favorite subscription game to have it be free to play?

Tue, 6 Jul 2010 01:33:00 GMT  This week, we review your favorite movie: TWILIGHT. Yes, I, Beau Turkey, had to sit through two hours of incredibly bad vampire chatter and makeup, with plenty gothy vamps with their chins on their chest and perfect hair. There was so much that was so disturbing about this movie, and we talk about it. You know, I am also inserting as many "twilight" tags and keywords so that I can draw in one hundred thousand angry teenagers to leave comments.

OK, not one will listen, but you got me.

If you have seen the movie, check it out. There is always something deeper behind these type of movies. Always.

Mon, 7 Jun 2010 14:53:00 GMT  Today we talk a bit about everything, and have a lot of fun doing it. Did I mention that I hate show notes? I mean, either you are going to listen or not, and while I understand that these notes might sell the show to a new listener, there's  no way I can cover all the stuff we talk about in the show. Basically, we talk about games. Lots o' games.

     Leala picked out the music for the show, that's why it's a band made up of 2 cute boys called A JAr of Monekys or some other kind of indie band name. OK actually they were called I was a boyscout or something that means a whole helluva lot more than "Jar of Monkeys." See, indie bands must have names like "A jar of Monkeys" or they get their license to be indie taken away.

     Same with metal bands and their fonts. Look it up.

     Wanna' contact us? We give out the info at the end of the show. Write us email. Love us.

    Massively Speaking Episode 97 is back this week as Shawn and Sera are joined by special guests Gargaj and Gremrod from Avatar Creations, the studio behind Perpetuum.

     We have been having one of those months here in the Turkey household...you know the kind; non-stop fun stuff. Life is good when you have games coming out your rear and friends to play them with. Remember that...we are here to play these games with other people. It's not so much a matter of how the game is played, or if it is instanced or portable or a "true" MMO, it only matters that we play them together.

    Massively Speaking Episode 96 returns after a week off to bring you the latest MMO news from hosts Shawn and Rubi. Since Shawn was out of the loop all last week, it's Rubi's turn to bring us all up to date. Plus, she needs a new headset. Seriously.

    ]]>     podcasts 01:02:31 Clean     EQual Perspectives #20 Sun, 18 Apr 2010 21:36:00 GMT Welcome to EQual Perspectives, Episode 20. This show was recorded on April 16th of 2010 and is the 20th episode in the venerable podcast devoted to Everquest II.  The show’s host Troy & Karen talk about Everquest; including talking about the ongoing squabble with Celestian, playing of Shadow Knights, old content can be just as fun as the the new zones, changes to the AA line, guild raiding, and the big shocker that Karen tells the audience: Brenlo is no longer with Sony.  Sit back and listen to the show.
