Post Coital Techno Boogie
By Ribo | September 2, 2008
Yeah…that was romantic huh? Passionate…yeah…
Oh sorry. So, PAX (Penny Arcade Expo) is over and, well, I’m a little underwhelmed.
Maybe it’s because I spent 19 hours crammed into a Honda with 4 other guys.
Maybe it’s because I’m bitter that Seattle is like LA only with 83.2% less assholes.
We’ll talk about it tomorrow.
Why did I post tonight?
Well, why not?
Btw: The title of tonight’s little article is less a quote and more of a track on a movie soundtrack.
The quote at the beginning of this article, however, IS a quote (from the same movie no less) and also appears on the same movie track!
Free one, guess the quote and win!
…this guy…this guy…

She’s gone from suck to blow!
By DDMNeo | August 27, 2008
—Some may have noticed Button Mashers has made a car for their podcast. Truth is we have one before they made theirs, but it’s not important who had their car first. We want to hear what you think of our car (and if possible I’ll see if I can send the design to any Forza 2 owners). Hell if you don’t like it why not try and make a better car and post it (you have to use the game!)? I can’t give a prize since I don’t have the money to toss around, but maybe if it is really good we can see if Andyb0y will give you a hand job.
I will race anyone who wants to race the Handheld Heroes car, and I will add any fans to my friends list on Xbox Live. My gamertag is DDMNe0, and I’ll be waiting.
*UPDATE*
Well since I got some negative feedback from a unnamed homosexual/podcast host *cough*C4*cough* I decided to make a second car. Something that reflects the site better, and is way more bad ass. Well…here it is! Tell us which you like most. I’d also like to race some of you guys.

Chicks dig me, because I rarely wear underwear…and when I do, it’s usually something unusual.
By Ribo | August 22, 2008
Hi. It’s me. Ribo. You could probably tell that from the “By Ribo” byline up there on the left. Anyway, so…yeah, I was supposed to put up some obscure video game picture on the site and have you, the audience, guess the title of the game so you could win Guitar Hero: On Tour for your little Nintendo DS over there, even though that game pretty much *sucks and stuff and…yeah…
So, I didn’t get around to doing that, and I know the 2 of you who actually listen to the show (50% of whom are personal friends of mine that I told to listen, and the other 50% are from that irc channel that we all hang out in and never leave) will be disappointed but, hey, what can I say…I’m a lazy bastard!
Don’t be sad panda, I plan to make it up to all you dudes out there by schlepping my ass all the way up to Seattle next weekend and attending that massive nerd, neckbeard and B.O. convention known as PAX! Yay me! And I promise to take lots of pictures of games that you’ll have to wait a year to play…and I promise to creep out all of the G4 chicks as I ask them to take pictures with me while I give a thumbs up sign as if to say “Radical Dude!” or “It’s super keen to be in a picture with Kristin Holt!”. Or maybe I’ll flash a peace sign as if to say “Holy shit dude, I wish you peace and everything, but that Kristin Holt has teeth so big Hillary Swank would say ‘Goddamn, this bitch right here has some big ass fuckin’ teeth!’”
That’s exactly how Hillary Swank would say it too.
Yeah, it’s going to be awesome!
So, anyway, about that contest…I promise to have a game all picked out and raring to go for the NEXT show (episode 15). See, that’ll be cool anyway…episode 15: new show, cool contest, food, folks and fun!
Speaking of contests, pay attention to the titles of the blog posts. Each one is a quote from a movie, TV show, book or some other pop culture reference that may or may not exist. At the end of the year (or whenever the hell we feel like it), there will be a contest and whoever names all of the quotes and the sources will get…something.
Hell, we’re giving away a DS game for naming a little picture, the prize for the quote contest will be **ten times as big!
Don’t touch that dial!
*Ribo sez: anything below a 90% metacritic score sucks (ref: gaming snobbery).
**Size subject to change.

One day we’re going to have a contest for these random quotes that (will) pepper the titles of these little blog posts here. There will be contest rules and disclaimers and fabulous prizes and everything.
That day is not today.
The day that is today, however, is this:

Oh and enjoy Episode 13! Tell us how much you enjoyed it! Or how much you hated it! Or both! Or not!

I’m not dead yet!
By DDMNeo | August 10, 2008
Hey guys, it’s me Neo. Just wanted to say I haven’t been absent lately by choice. Due to some hard drive issues, and lightning knocking out my internet for a week I have been crying myself to sleep for a while. I am back now, and hopefully things can resume to the way they were before. Read the rest of this entry »
