    :woohoo: Congrats TA on creating such a great podcast that has gone one this long, i hope it goes to 500 episodes. Keep doing what your doing guys, so awesome.
    PS: Ive heard that there is going to be a groundbreaking Mexican Car-Wash held to celebrate the occasion. I'm not sure but I think they are bringing in 50 times the amount of lube, and they've offered a free mustache tickler to Joe if he shows up so it should be a good time. You've earned it!

    Congrats on the awesome 50 guys, I agree with everything you guys said about E3 ESPECIALLY Rollo mentioning Mass Effect 3, I will cry of happiness if I see even a teaser of that and believe me that will be a first for me because I shed no tears for something like this. I hope Irrational games (or 2k I think)is making a System Shock 3 or From Software (my favorite company) if they are bringing Armored core 5 to America or making a sequel to Demon Souls (I hope they do) or ID Software bringing more news on RAGE.

    Thanks for having me on as a cameo, guys! Punky's right, the chat pack will never die. It's just umm...evolved. As near as I can tell, the cameos are of Punky, me, Smarty, Dramatic Monarch and someone else. Not sure who the fifth is.

    Anyway, congrats on FIFTY! episodes of the Internet's zaniest podcast. Congrats everyone! Will be giving you ALL cake soon.

    As for E3? I'm looking forward to news on:

    The new Zelda game
    The 3DS
    Possible Starfox game
    More Metroid Other M

    I'm not sure what else'll be there. But, I will definitely watch the Nintendo conference. Should be an interesting conference for the big N.

    Hey guys Congratulation on 50 episodes! Now that it is said I have some games I'm looking forward to see at E3 :P.

    - Marvel vs Capcom 3: I'm surprised Joe didn't mentioned this. I would really like to see more of the line up and maybe some game play if possible.

    - Fallout: New Vegas: I know bethesda is not developing this game but I'm really curious to see what other developers could accomplish with this series because I really LOVE Fallout 3 (I would marry that game if was be possible:P).

    - Zone of the Ender (not sure What the full title is gonna be): Kojima promised a new version of this game last year I hope we get at least a teaser hehe.

    - The Old Republic: Can't wait for more information on this game. Bioware is a great developer and the 2 KOTOR games were AWESOME. I would like a KOTOR 3 too but this will be more then enough to cleanse my craving.

    I would really like a new Zelda game too, even if I don't have a Wii maybe It will make me buy one :P. And finally any new game bethesda comes out with, I will try, they haven't disappointed me yet. They always make great games.

    Well congratulations on your 50th episode again guys and looking forward to 50 more :D

    Yaaay! Happy 50th guys! :woohoo:

    Also, Joe. You don't get it man. Fans of the first two KOTOR games are very sad right now. They ended the story with a half finished game, and no closure to the plot at all. And instead of a sequel to fix it all up, they come out with an MMO.

    Anyway, looking forward to E3 all the same. I can't wait to see what's up.

    oooo Cferra is right! A possible Star Fox game would be the bees knees.
    Thanks for having me on the show guys!

    I'm just wondering if E3 can pull itself out of the hole it has been digging for itself for the past few years. Yeah, last year was better than previous years, but that's like saying that the hamster didn't shit in your hand as much as the elephant. COME ON, this is supposed to be the main event! Epicness is supposed to occur!

    My entry was horrible but I thought it would be fun to enter. All I can do is photo edit. I thought the idea was funny but eh I am not an artist. (Did the Angry Joe Album of bad pick up lines both front and back art)
  • GoodguyA
    No one said Portal 2 for E3? I for one, am shocked.

    I would like to know more about "Bullet storm" from People can fly. They've just started talking more about it, and it has a teaser trailer and what not, but there's going to be more info about it at E3. I really hope you cover it Joe (when you go to E3 at least), because it looks interesting.

    They are purporting to make it more about skill then just headshots (not gonna get into the debate over this haha, not my intent just what the game is purporting to do) and so far we have very little info on how they are going to do this so any info I can get on this game will be of interest to me.

    I already suspect Rage (from ID) will be covered, and I know your wanting more info on the KOTOR MMO too so you should cover that... So, anyway, the only thing you didnt mention I can think of right now is Bullet Storm.

    Btw, I feel for you Chris, I also feel burned by FF13. What a shame. B)

    Major congrats and great choice with Eric. He's been more than worthy for a while to be officially on the site.

    I'm heading to E3 myself. Looking forward, though I'm only going for one day and not sure what people will be showing. I suppose I'm most interested in seeing what the new Handheld DS might be and play like and of course Zelda.

    Happy 50th, TA. B)

    *cue the party streamers, balloons and noise makers*

    It's so hard to believe that Transmission Awesome's been around for almost two years now with 50 episodes under its belt! Happy 50 episodes and I hope you have plenty more fantastic ones to come! Glad I could be a part of it in some small way. ;)

    I really loved all the fan art entries so I could understand why you would all have such a hard time choosing a winner. Congrats to the winner and all those who entered. :)

    By the way, is it just me or did Coldguy possess Chris during those last few minutes? :woohoo:

    Mistwalker is making a new game. it's called Last Story and it's going to be released on Wii.
  • vid3oman64
    W00t for 50 TA's! Here's to 50 bazillion more.

    You know, the song Paw featured on this episode's Paw's Button was really awesome. I would like a link or at least, like, the song's name and the artist. Why not do that every episode?
  • vid3oman64
    Pardon the double-comment, but uh, Paw?


    li·cen·tious
    ? ?/la??s?n??s/ Show Spelled[lahy-sen-shuhs] Show IPA
    –adjective
    1.
    sexually unrestrained; lascivious; libertine; lewd.

    :0 Wow Paw. Is there uh... something you wanna tell us? A little inside info? Maybe something more to Spooning with Spoony 2 than met the eye?

    Maybe the other two definitions are a little more accurate.

    2.
    unrestrained by law or general morality; lawless; immoral.
    3.
    going beyond customary or proper bounds or limits; disregarding rules.

    Nah, I'll stick with the first definition.
