After a little glitch, we’re back! This week we’ve got Ben the Sage with us from That Guy With The Glasses Dot Com. We talk about disgruntled readers, our geeky weeks, and of course we cover some (now old) news!

Great show as usual. I know how Ben feels when he doesn’t like a game that is universally thought of as a great game. Recently, it happened to me with Mass Effect, Bioshock, and Assassins Creed 2. I see so much love for these 3 titles on sites and forums, but I could not call any of these games excellent games. They are all good… above average in fact, but none of them scored higher than a 6/10 in my book, and I have received hate for it.
Oh, and about Dead Space 2… I wish Issac wasn’t the main character. I would have been happier with a new character. And the idea of them having a “super ship” seems bullshit to me, since the first ship was suppose to be one of the largest ever created. I hope Dead Space 2 is amazing, but I have a bad feeling about it already… like it might lose its charm.
(I don’t know why this was caught as spam originally Korne. Weird).
I agree with you about Dead Space 2. Dead Space 1 was so good, I almost wish it was the only one in the series to preserve its style.
On the other hand, I think the storyline and the universe they started to create with Dead Space, the comic, and Extraction, the super nerd inside me wants more!
I know what you mean… there is enough content available to make timelines and wild speculations. It’s great, and my girlfriend likes the story too, so she’ll watch me play/watch all the dead space goodness.
Bennett was awesome, happy to have him on.
Awww… my comment didn’t stick… and it was long. Oh well, I don’t care to write it again, so I will summerize:
Great show… Ben’s Feelings… L4D2… same as Assassins Creed 2 and Mass Effect… Dead Space 2… missing charm… Issac is dead.
If anyone wants to try to fill in the rest, feel free.
Haha! I’ll check the spam filter. If you swear at all, it automatically goes in there.
If its in there, I’ll bring it out!
