Well, it's been a good six months since our last (and first) PlayBit, so Nick and I are really looking forward to this upcoming one.
At the rate the poll is going, it appears as though our next PlayBit will feature Super Mario Sunshine; a title that seems to be either loathed or loved among the gaming community.
It will take place this upcoming Friday, March 12, starting around 7pm EST given there are no major disasters with the camera, sound, and/or Justin.TV. We will be playing Super Mario Sunshine from the very beginning, and plan to go for about five hours, although we may go longer depending on how many people are joining us and how much caffeine/alcohol we have ingested.
As always, we will have a chatroom open beneath the embedded video on our website, and encourage those who are watching to use our chat rather than the one on Justin.TV. Also, since the PlayBits run on a limited amount of time, we are going to forgo the Skype conversations this time around.
For newcomers to any live gaming sessions performed by Nick and I, here is our disclosure to warn you about our less than appropriate behavior. We curse every chance we get, fight fiercely amongst ourselves, insult one another, and (though we try not to) say things that may be VERY offensive to certain people.
So, with all that said, we hope plenty of you will tune in to join us this Friday. We would also love to know if there are any specific games that you would like to see featured in an upcoming PlayBit, so if you have one leave your suggestions below.
I voted for Ico, since it's a game I haven't really dealt with before. I was surprised so many people want Super Mario Sunshine, but I'm definitely not upset by it.
Wow, talk about coincidences. I was going through my 'Cube collection, and found Sunshine at the top of the pile. I put it in a few days ago. I figure at the rate I'm going, I'll be done a little before Super Mario Galaxy 2 comes. Its just as fun and frustrating as ever.
So yeah, be prepared to yell and curse, annoy the neighbors, etc. I don't recommend alcohol for this title(Except maybe Red Bull and vodka, do people still do that anymore?): You're going to need all the reflexes you can muster for some of those shine sprites. Otherwise, it might one of the longest five hours of your lives...
Oh we're always prepared to scream and curse as loud as possible...it's the only way we play games :P
Except this time around I have made it very clear that I am NOT picking up that controller...Sunshine is just one of those games that pushes my patience to the max. So instead, I get to sit back this time and watch Nick flip out...hehe.
(Oh, and people do still drink Red Bull and vodka...but it tastes horrible so I don't really get it. Red Bull and Mountain Dew though, not a bad combination)
What a wimp.
I'm an enthusiast towards anything that makes Chessa angry when gaming. That's when things are most entertaining.
I don't think I've ever seen Chessa angry before...
If Chessa has never been angry before, I'd have to say that if she were to get angry, it would probably be your last PlayBit/Podcast. Nothing's quite like going out with a bang, eh?
I guess I have no choice but to play now. Hoofuckingray. Remember to blame yourselves though when I'm stuck on the level with the shadow stingray for hours. God I hate those things.
Good going, Zap. Nick's going to be sleeping on the couch for a week...
