XBox 360 gives people the HIV.
But, with GRAW… beautiful, delicious GRAW.
What the hell does that mean?
And how dare you cast disdain on the acting of William Shatner!!! Captain Kirk forever!
GRAW = Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. And it looks amazing on the 360.
That’s nice. Its infecting you with the HIV through the controller every time you play though.
Yeah, that is one good looking game. And the multiplayer Co-Op campaign on Xbox Live!…
Yeah.
I hope the Playstation 3 is like, made of gold or something, because I am sure as hell not planning on getting one now that I have an Xbox 360. The 360 is one hell of a game machine — Microsoft pretty much nailed it, AFAICT.
Maybe Sony will be giving away candy with the PS3? Because I’m not buying it unless they’re giving away candy. Lots of candy.
They’ll be giving out antiretroviral drugs to help with the HIV infection you got from your 360
So, once again, neologisms Carl doesn’t like…BAD. Carl saying shit like “get my drink on” to sound cool…GOOD.
“Get my drink on”? Is that some kind of technical jargon? You know how much Carl loathes technical jargon. Also, I’m no expert, but doesn’t that phrase end in a preposition? You may need to check with your copy of Strunk and White, but I’m pretty sure that sort of thing is discouraged.
:^)
Alcohol washes away all sins. That night I had 5 (or maybe 6) hits of vodka and/or rum with Red Bull.
I actually said ‘get my drink on’? Jesus.
Also, I don’t recall casting aspersions on Shatner’s acting. I laughed at Colin for confusing Kirk with Picard.
But now that you mentioned it, Shatner is kind of a bad actor.
You can totally tell Carl is drunk, even in the introduction to the podcast. Red bull and vodka, huh? ;^)
Apple pie … brûlée?
Now I see why this episode is an hour long… :^)
