  1. the n64 bragging reminds me of the 360 bragging that they are the best, that they have all the exclusives and that they are going to win the console war, but i think that’s all BS.360 went from a 9 million lead to a 5 million lead. sony has tons of exclusives coming for 08 and they can last 10 years.im not trying to say ps3 is better even though i think it is. im just saying that bragging won’t get you anywhere.especially if it’s not true.you have to prove it.and by the way the new theme song is awesome.

  2. Thanks for your comment Kratos. I think the distinction Jon was making is that Microsoft has not made any promises regarding hardware and performance as Nintendo did.

    Oh, and we don’t quite have a theme song yet. I change the song every episode to reflect the content of the week.

    If anyone out there wants to put together a theme song for The Bitbag Radio in general or for either of the shows: WarZone or 1v1, it would be greatly appreciated. I am sure we can even dig up some good schwag to award to anyone who submits a rockin’ theme.

  3. I will say this.Yall deffinatly havn’t lost me,(In requards to you thinking you may have lost some of us do to the comments about Nintendo)Its quite the opposite actually,And I completly agree that Nintendo is basicly stabbing us in the back just to sell an extra console to some off beat family that would only end uo buying a couple games unlike us hardcore gamers that will be as many games that comes out as long as they appeal to us,But they don’t anymore,In fact I havn;t turned on my Wii since Mario Galaxy ,Its really sad they are taking this route and snuffing their nose at us because they are all high and mighty now.

    I also agree that these movie/video game adaptions need to cook alot longer because as it stands right now..I have yet to find the “Diamond in the ruft” They have all been shit.Kung Fu panda was fun like you said,But coulda been soooooo much better.

    None the less I really enoy listening to your podcast,Its very entertaining and I actually even learn a few things I didn’t know.I think this was deffinatly one of your best ones so far man,and my hat is off to you and Jon, Keep it real guys hope to heat from yall again next week and the more shows the better.

  4. Good show - i like the cerebral, as too few really discuss things now; from mainstream news “soundbites” through to gaming reporters giving us hype and (personal biased) impressions but little impartial analysis - so hearing the 1v1 is like a breath of fresh air each time you put out a new one!

    All i’ll say is try to keep topics fresh and do as little rehashed ground as possible, as one of the failings of the Warzone is it often seems to devolve into similar discussions as past shows. Still entertaining, but one sometimes gets a sensation of de ja vu…

    You could do a piece on mecha? What future is there for the genre, if sims are dead / unpopular and action just feels like a clone of any other action game, what is left? Zone of the Enders? Not mecha IMO. Iron Man as an example of mecha ideas stolen and pushed to their ultimate casual-friendly conclusion? Tekki / Steel Battalion too hardcore and infeasible in current development conditions? And Armored Core too locked in by people with limited vision? Where’s the right mix, or is it just a dead genre which should be remembered fondly but left dead?

  5. just a thought but your show might become more popular if u guys started doing your own reviews on the show or spend more time talking about big games that come out and each give your own view of the game.that’s just what i think would make the show better.
