I wanted to say that EP100 was my favorite podcast so far because of the “If you’re black, you’re dead? Do do, do do…, do do?” bit that probably came from an even earlier episode I haven’t seen (I’m going in vaguely reverse order. Like 100-111, then 90 ->99, then 80 -> 89), but now that I’ve heard the “well, thanks-well, thanks-well, thanks-well, thanks…” thing, I LAUGHED TO TEARS. It was so good. And then the way Tim describes how funny it was while sounding somewhat disinterested at the same time made it twenty times as funny as the sound was alone. And then that last little bit after talking about it.
Oh wow it was great.

(I’m a new reader/listener, just picked it up two or three weeks ago from Kotaku’s comics. I could ramble on much more about it, but I think I’ll just comment more on a second reading of the comics.)

Ray, it’s not like anyone e-mailed you a list of Season 2 Black Doom Awards, and never got a conformation back that they had been recived or any other form of akcnowledgement, is it?

If I never thanked you for the list or acknowledged even receiving the list, then I apologize. You helped kick off the archive section in general, and I am truly grateful for that. I’ve got everything on my side done now, so it’s up to Tim to putting it up….

Thank you!

* Metroid (while myself not being interested) is having another game which is both 1st AND 3rd person and developed by Team Ninja
* Golden Sun is getting a long-awaited sequel that is most definitely pandering to the “Hardcores”

I’m going to be saying this a lot in the coming weeks, but this E3 had one of my favorite announcements and a “WHY!??!” announcements. The good one being the Metroid and the WHY!?!? being Golden Sun (for those of you who don’t know I absolutely hated the first game and never bothered with the second).
I think the Metroid game catered more to the hardcore than Golden Sun. There were tons of old characters in that Metroid trailer, Ridley, Adam Malkovich, Mother Brain, etc.

Roadjcat, you’re hatred for Golden Sun is now becoming a reverse fanboyism type of thing. Seriously, just because you didn’t like one of the greatest GBA games doesn’t mean you can bash it or be like, “Ugh, Why is this game coming out?!” Seriously, a large amount of people love the game. Look at me, I don’t beat the crap out of Halo or Gears of War everytime it’s mentioned.

You’ll have to wait for our full opinions until *gulp* next week’s podcast. Well, at least that’s what I want…. With any luck Tim will have a six paragraph opinion published with tomorrow’s comic.

Talk lots about Metroid, ‘K? It’s E3 again so my long podcast notes may just be coming back.

I cannot believe how wrong you were about E3. Nintendo announced so many mind-blowing things, Microsoft’s motion sensing thing isn’t half-bad, and Sony, while failing with the already-revealed PSP Go, had The Last Guardian.

Seriously, as Nintendo fans, you guys have got to be pretty happy.
