Here we are again friends, with another megaton announcement in the middle of our podcast. Despite the EA/BioWare purchase, we still manage to spend the whole show talking about Portal, with some discussion of Phoenix Wright, Looney Toons: Duck Amuck and Dynasty Warriors Gundam thrown in for good measure.
Also, there is the humiliating settling of a certain musical bet, but you'll have to wait until the end of the show for that.

The Duck Amuck thing made me look like an idiot at work, all laughing at my headphones. Thanks for that. Now I need this game... and to play it on the bus. When parents see a grown man on the bus laughing at Daffy Duck on a boner... oh man. I may be arrested. Do they have Internet in jail?

That was classic! I'll never be able to have sex again without hearing Daffy's voice.

You may remember it, it was called the 3D0.
It was shit. It was overpriced. It was rejected by the market.
The guys who actually developed the hardware worked for Matsushita, and were hard at work on a successor console when they were all fired.
Mysteriously, almost all of those guys went to work for Microsoft.
They made the 360.
Talk about your lucky breaks.

I'm making a note here:
HUGE SUCCESS!

Satisfaction.
I even beat the game a few more times just to hear the song. Possibly the best ending ever.
What I would love to see, now, is a mod that includes the portal gun in a HL2 multiplayer game.

Also, Karaoke Revolution Party is the one on the XBox (and GC), and it has all the songs from Karaoke Revolution 1, 2, and 3 available as DLC.

2) I didn't realize that Counting Crows did a cover of "Girlfriend" on VH1 Storytellers.

I almost drove off the road when Justin and the McElroy Crooners got to the mike. You need to put a warning on there. I have not experienced a range of emotions that broad in a long time. Showed real love of the material! Good sport and a gentleman.
Did some blood spill between Ludwig and Justin there at some point? That makes me very nervous and I dont like it. But if there is going to be a fight, can you do it in a VG chosen by Chris or something and in videocast.
