spoony you rock its funny because i was actually listening to your video of how Burton came to be and how you started

whoo i was waiting for spoony to come on TA

Always great to hear from Spoony. He's one of the funniest guys on the site. I want Insano goggles. I know Daffy has some. But, he won't share! Curses!

Still, great awesome blogs and one bad blog. That blog was horrible. REALLY horrible. I couldn't think of anything to say. I was just too shocked.

Good podcast, guys and now I'll go watch One Piece!

yeahhh spoony..finally
Great episode. That Awesomely Bad Blog was the worst(Crazy guy). When are going to say who is the winner of the contest??

I was wondering when you guys would finally get him.

Uh...he was on a long time ago, one of the first guest of transmission awesome. It's not like we never got to him, it's he was one of the originals, and...people don't like backlogs i guess

Awesome! SPOONY!?
sorry, I had 2 do that ^^

Blue Dragon made me cry blood due to the main character's mind numbing voice.

OMG! first... so early in the site? weird

second epic episode even with the lack of SPOONY!? jokes

and third i have to give a little of respect to Douchie Mc Nitpick the second for that Awesomly bad blog... you have to be a big failure to acomplish something like it

I didn't caught the name of the band and song of this episodes Paw's Buttom. Can anybody tell me what the hell he said?

So yes, I believe I will be downloading the podcast so I can take the Arnold fight part and listen to it over and over. Should do something like this again.

LMAO!! The Arnold-off had me rolling on the floor!
Spoony rocks!

Spoony, if you see this, you HAVE to to MGS2.

Great episode guys!

Final Fantasy 10 is pretty much what made me get fed up with Final Fantasy, I actually haven't played one since that one game out. I watched a friend play 10 a bit but refused to touch it myself.

I also watched her play 10-2. One of my first questions was "So.... when do you think the tentacle monster shows up?"

and I watched the same friend play the PS2 Metal Gear Solids, hate them too though I suspect 2 was Kojima's hissyfit because the Japanese public didn't want to play as an "old man" ...

Also on the subject of video game themes, I started humming the Okami theme when you guys mentioned it. HA!

Nice podcast. My pick would be for TWEWY. I loe that game.

Fuck yeah, two ABotW!

Quite possibly the greates TA episode ever Spoony is awesome and that Arnold off was hilarious

That guy with the bad blog has to be a troll. Really.

Anyway, Spoony just made this Transmission Awesome near perfection.... Just needed Angry Joe. Then again, at least he's getting a Mexican carwash. XD

I actually liked X a lot despite some of the annoying voice acting. It's a game that can be nitpicked to death, so Spoony probably wouldn't have trouble ripping on it. Hey, if he makes it funny, I'll watch it despite the fact I love it. Though I would prefer if he ripped on XII. That's a game I think deserves it.

I am very found of the no more heroes theme.

Arnold-Off=EPIC WIN. Governators! I especially loved the Kindergarten Cop reference. I still have that movie, now that I think about it. I think I'll watch that after this...

I would have to disagree with you guys when you say that the Old School music is better. I agree, the people who did the Old School music did an amazing job with what they had to work with, but they are still mind numbingly simple midi tunes. Most people who would appreciate those tunes would be the people who have feelings of nostalgia backing them.

With the New School music, the music producers had much more to work with and created music that can appeal to anyone. There's more emotion behind this music and anyone listening to it can feel the situation that the music was supporting.

Best examples of this are "Gnosis" from Xenosaga, "What kind of Hospital is This" from Half Life 2 Episode 1, "Spectre Induction" from Mass Effect, and "Northlands Forest" from Dreamfall: The Longest Journey. You wouldn't be able to hum these excellent tunes as they are too complex, but you will still be treated with some deep and interesting music.

i actually didn't hate final fantasy x or x2 that much, just something bleh to pass my time, it's all breezy cool back in the day haha

Well yes Spoony and Paw are pretty right about the fact that old school music was more awesome and memorable because the songs were so well written and done with so little. In order of the timeline my favorite songs would be the theme song from the first world in Super Mario World for NES, than almost all the soundtrack from Terranigma and Tales of Phantasia for the SNES, the intro song for Snatcher for the Mega CD, all the Soundtrack for Xenogears on the PS1, the Main Theme for Advent Rising for PC and here is a new one that was released this year and a new franchise The Last Remnant for PC.

That right I kind of want to rip appart X2 my self but i dont have a camcorder right now or even know how to begin but this sight has inspired me to try my hand at riping video games a new one and ive got plenty to rant about lol so wish me luck guys i hope they bring back the blogs back up soon so i can give you a full revew of that new final fantasy fighting game for the PSP.

Great podcast you guys! I was laughing so hard during the Arnold-off. I live in Cali so that budget fiasco is pretty much pissing everyone in California off. Anyway, great to have Spoony once again on the podcast.

Nicely done as always. Spoony is a fantastic video reviewer and personality, always enjoyable, always articulate (even his rambling is entertaining) and probably my favorite out of the entire TGWTG team. I noted on his site that if he did FFX, it would easily be the greatest thing of all time. No game deserves a beating more.

Whether it's meant to be sarcastic or satirical or not, the bad blog was bad for the sheer stupidity it exudes.

Tokyo Gore Police is full guilty pleasure fodder.

Halo has a memorable theme music.

thats what i was thinking

First you have to like Halo. And I don't think I can take much more of "Combat" by Breaking Benjamin.

I thought it made perfect sense that most of the songs on Paw's list were from JRPG's; that kind of game tends to be heavy on the narrative, and music is a good way to add atmosphere and emotion to a scene. I mean, think abut it, most of the other genre's are so action oriented and homogeneous that its kinda hard to make "hard rock song #9979" stand out and be memorable.

Plus, the Japanese have Nobuo Uematsu setting the standard for them. 'Nuff said.

I love this video because of spooney. I love final fantasy 7-10 and 12 are awesome. Do a review on Metal gear solid 2 or final fantasy 10.
Advent rising kick ass. Sean and Noah love that game and so did I.

great podcast

You know, I almost hope Spoony DOES sit back and do MGS2, cause the game IS brilliant. The stuff they touch on in that game is happening right now. People putting every minute detail of their lives online, so ALL of history is recorded instead of only the important parts? Twitter, Facebook, Myspace. The game didn't make sense at the time, but if you watch it now (I say "watch" cause, let's face it, that's what you mostly do in Metal Gear Solid games) it's mind-bogglingly perceptive.
