Torrence, please put your foot on when you need HHG to stop. Got boring and annoying really fast.
HEY Tor to answer your question about the pausing on the 360 after match end nah it doesn’t pause on the 360 that I know off, Yes I have it on both system and yes the d-pad for the 360 suck balls playing Tekken 6 on it. I was so darn mad useing the d-pad I went to grab my arcade joystick that’s how fed up I was with the d-pad, sNskid Yoshi is good Tor I don’t know why he didn’t pick him playing you on your DW guess he was trying to build his Yoshi more while playing my Lars lol.
God dam this episode was boring . With every episode prior either I came out learning something new or just had a fun ass time but this show was so boring . 2 seconds on borderlands I mean why even post it as an agenda topic when all you say is, ”it was a good game” and thats it . I was really hoping on more of the MW2 third person vidical talk . I know people will talk shit to me but Torrence you need to man the fuck up and tell HHG that he cant work for Sony on your show , he has a website and if he want to do a commercial for Sony have him do it on his own site . I come to your site to get away from all that crap , weather its someone telling me to buy a 360 over a PS3 or to buy a PS3 over a 360 . All you guys should be talking about is the fucking GAMES GAMES GAMES we are 4+ years into this console generation, when will HHG realize that the people that listen to the show know what the PS3 and 360 offer . I dont want to call him a fanboy but come on Microsoft on shaky ground LMFAO so that means Sony was on shaky ground all this time and now that the price drop happens there the king again and what about Nintendo that were dead last, last gen and now they wipe there ass with $100 bills . He is the most unintelligent person in the world if he thinks that all companies stay at the top all the time thats not how it works and everyone on the WARZONE knows it but refuses to tell HipHop because they dont want to hurt his feeling or there just scared of him because he has more balls then anyone on the show . He may be wrong on a lot of his shit but at least he has a spine . Oh my bad OOG is the only one to call him out and Fat and Ice carried the hole show today without them I would have gave up on hour 1 . I mean no disrespect but I have listened to all 65 podcasts and I have come to expect the same thing every show entertainment and all I came out with today was the 360 is doomed and I should sell it because the PS3 is the way to go . No there both the way to go they both have awesome features and games 1st and 3rd party both have thing to work on both can coexists and be successful
The past several Warzones have been so dull and lame and #65 is no exception. Torrence if you insist on eating during the Warzone, don’t. It’s more annoying than Hiphop and his constant erroneous comments. With that being said I did laugh once whenever Torrence said Templar.
Earl… Damn. That rumbles.
I enjoyed this episode except for the fact noone got on hhg for the shaky vidical. I thought there was a good amount of gametalk but would like if more I depth game talk is done and not just oh shit yo yo yo omg that shit is nice. Maybe do upcoming
e releases or new releases and discuss what everyone is currently playing.
Something is just off . I don’t know how to explain it but sowmthing is jusoff about thewarzone. Like if u listen to n4g or cag or Giantbomb things are flowing at aconst t rate I guess I dot. Know how to describe what I wantto say but when I figure it out lost you know. Still love the show
I literally fell asleep listening to this podcast. I have listened to all 65, and for the past couple of weeks it just feels boring and drawn-out.
I agree with SixAmpFuze that something is not right with the Warzone right now. It just feels contrived and I am so tired of HHG’s Bull Shit, that I may quit listening to Warzone until you can get HHG to stop spewing his fanboy bull shit. It’s so god damn annoying having to here his Sony ball-washing weekly. I’m just tired of it.
Torrence, please to check the download links for warzon 64&65. Download links may be broken
Hmmm…
My honest opinion about this weeks show…yeah it was kinda drab. Brayn had to check out early and no, we didn’t go at HHG like we were supposed to. OOG was pissed to I gave him the stage instead of doing it myself. If the only thing people look forward to is arguments with HHG, then you will be dissapointed.
The reason I didn’t talk much about Borderlands is because we covered it last week. I thought we’d talk more about it but we didn’t.
On the eating, damn I didn’t realize those pistachios were so fucking loud. I love my microphone. I won’t eat anymore during the show though…unless it’s pussy or mashed potatoes.
When you do a show every friday, every week, there are bound to be shows that aren’t as entertaining as others. We are talking about games more because it’s what everyone wanted. Problem is, from week to week we aren’t always getting new data on games. I try and tweek the show little by little according to the comments I hear. Some people love the arguments, some people hate them. We can’t please everyone but we can hope there’s something in there for everyone. Some of our best shows have been during big news weeks and after conventions and events because we have a ton to talk about. Surprisingly, last weeks show was better than this weeks even without HHG.
I do VALUE your feedback though, so please, keep giving it. Even if you’ve never posted in the comments section, please keep giving your feedback so we can make the show better for you. We are averaging 30k downloads yet I only hear from a few people every week. I wish I heard from more of you guys.

ITS GOING TO BE VERY HARD TO HEAR FROM ME BECAUSE YOU BLOCK ME! X BOT!
You have been temporarily unbanned. Your next post needs to be a public apology. You have 12hrs.
i want to make a public apology to everyone in the TGN that i may have offended. i was just being a troll because i think its funny. i will no longer make personal comments about anyone just the games.
Yay Mike’s back!
lol its weird I thought this show went pretty good…. of course its not going to be exciting every week its games people…. I really dont understand what people are looking for from this show… its a weekly show…. every week isnt jam packed with goodness…
I do agree I faded off after I said my part… because that question tor asked HH just went on for so long and I started to lose my concentration in it…..
Maybe this new format is killing it a bit.. where your closing it out for 3 hours…. maybe you should aim for the 3 hours but dont let it control the flow of the show.. It is way too bad you can feedback from everyone tho… because I think their are just too many people being too picky….. and its almost like you cannot please them….
I say do what your going to do… like when the big games this month hit.. im sure it will cause some more excitement in the warzones…. I duno…
After a month of trying to repair my rrod xbox 360(out of warranty) I finally got it back up and running for right now. Anyways if anyones curious I found that the x-clamp needed to be replaced. It was alot of work and it was worth saving the money.
I am having a blast with forza 3, tekken 6 not so much. The juggling in tekken is insanely frustrating. There have been times were a would play a person online and he would kill me with one juggle. Its not fair. The story mode is very disappointing. At time its looks equivelent to a ps2 game. Namco needs to step it up because in my mind SF4 still holds the fighting crown for me.
As for forza wow. The storefront is easily the top feature in that game. I found a couple of trans am skins that blew me away. They had the 35th anniversary edition skin and a smokey and the bandit skin for download. The paint editor is also sick as hell. I think I already spent a couple of hours on it. Currently i am level 20. If anyone wants to add me. XBL: iMixmAsTeR.
Im still debating whether or not I am going to keep it from Gamefly. There are so many games coming soon that I want.
I have to agree with what has been said by a few others. For whatever reason, I could not get into this week’s Warzone. I actually fell asleep halfway through.
The console war stuff is just boring at this point. And the Modern Warfare third-person and “sequel-itis” arguments were not much better. I don’t mind a contrarian point of view, but the factual basis for those discussions didn’t exist.
I understand that the show relies upon gaming news for discussion and it was a slow news week. Maybe, in those instances, you should open the floor up to questions from the audience (via the chatroom)? Or come up with other recurring show bits? One people probably would like is if you grade out some of the predictions that are made on the show after 3 to 6 months pass.
i guess i’m the only one that enjoyed this one. but i do have a idea on what might make the show better. instead of everyone doing their whole agenda at once such as “hiphop bash hour”, let everyone do one topic at a time and rotate. that way chad wont put people to sleep with the rpg talk or torrence can’t piss off ps3 fanboys with his sony bashing. just my thoughts.
ps did a new ratchet and clank get released ???
Now THAT is a productive post. Keep it up Mike!
Oh, btw, R&C did come out but I don’t think any of the Bitbaggers got it. I figured HHG would have bought it but it looks like he didn’t. Since he buys every PS3 game I’m sure he’ll have it soon.
I’m sorry for my typo’s , my iPhone hates me. 10 warzones ago tor asked how he could fix the wz and we gave him some feedback . Alot of things have improved but I think now theshow is under to much control.I’m all for muting the mics of most of the people and not having people step on each other especially with the sound quality of some of the mics, which sound like shit.
I think the problem is that most of the hosts have deep voices and they are putting peeps to sleep. Get that cracka ass cracka spenny t back and another high pitched white boy on the show
Played tekken online on the 360 for2 hours and never had the pause you showed on DD. I picked it upon Saturday night with borderlands had an update when I put Tekken in.
Damn iPhone 3GS. Not used to typing onhere but loving this damn phone
please tell me u invested in an arcade stick.
Nope and I actually use the directional pad. Everyone likes to say the pad isn’t good for fighting games but not everyone has actually played on the 360 for the fighting games. They just go with what others say. For me it works just like I use the directional pad for the PS3 with Tekken. Also, I haven’t installed it to the hardrive yet so I can’t clarify at this point if the pause happens with it installed to the hardrive.
I just saw SNSKID’s post about ranked matches causing the pause due too leaderboard updates and I didn’t play rank matches online. I will checked the rank matches and see what happens.
I just don’t see what all the fuzz about, I have to listen to the show to see if it is boring or not
Tekken is one of the few fighters that you don’t really need a arcade stick.
Tor,
HHG was talking about damage and how the car rolls with no hit to performance, it was clear to me and Brain but not you that he was not playing on simulation. Brain should have said that instead of if asking if he was playing on easy. I think that is what he meant but I was suprise you were not catching that vs caring about people talking about burnout has better crashes. No way he or anyone he watched playing would drive away on damage set to simulation which is no different than the previous versions. Explain to hip hop cosmetic means just that. No actual damage with the performance just cosmetic damage to exterior of the car
Hey Torrence,
I’ve been hanging back, waiting for you guys to cover some Demon’s Souls.
I’m wondering if any Bitbaggers played much of it and are/were happy with it. It’s such a breath of fresh air for modern action-RPG’s, it’s hard to sit back and be silent about it. It’s as hardcore as a game can be these days, and the PVP/multiplayer is just sick (no, I don’t work for Sony or From Software hahaha).
I was a little disappointed that nobody talked much about it yet on the Video Game Warzone, considering how amazing it is (can’t please everyone, I know, it’s all good).
To be honest, I completely ignored Uncharted 2 after picking it up, and it was so worth it.
Yeah I know someone who got hooked on Demons Soul as well and havnt really bothered with their UC2….. I remember they talked about this game a few weeks back… but not in huge details… other then it is really hard and unforgiving sometimes…. From what I hear its great though.
The game itself is very good but it does have flaws. The first major flaw is the ungodly difficulty. I had to give up on the game because I was confused and felt like I was making no progress.
The game is full of bad mechanics if you ask me. For one the whole world tendancy is horrendous. The game becomes harder the more times you die on a level. How does this make sense? Also the game requires way to much grinding for my liking.
If they would have implemented a checkpoint system that may have saved the game for me.
Obviously, you didn’t put too much time into Demon”s Souls to appreciate the game and the mechanics. The game does NOT get harder each time you die, but when ever you have a New Game+. This game is considered a “Rogue Game”, meaning that it will be difficult to an extent that many gamers would turn it down. However, those who WANT a challenge in a game, then this would be perfect. I’m on my 10th play through and I’m still enjoying it. Why? Because even though it can be unforgiving at times, once you learn how the game works, it becomes to much easier.
The game doesn’t have bad mechanics, just bad players ;D
Bad mechanics? I don’t think you gave it much of a chance.
I haven’t run into too much trouble with the difficulty yet. I’ve been slaughtered a lot yeah, fell down a lot of holes, but everytime you die, it’s the player’s fault. It’s recklessness and just simply a lack of cautiousness that gets players killed. It’s not a lesson they teach in games these days, so if you play a lot of newer games, I can understand why you might find the difficulty “ungodly”.
World tendency changes when dieing, and defeating bosses/NPC’s in each world. Black world tendency makes the game slightly tougher, but not by much. It affects item drop rate and enemy health (increases both). So dieing constantly actually helps you, AND black tendency also makes farming/grinding a bit tougher, how is that bad?
The combat is probably the best I’ve seen in an action RPG. Lots of weapon variety, the ability to dual-wield every weapon at the cost of mobility or defense. Upgradable weapons with multiple weapon paths for each. The pvp is exhilarating, and the game offers enough maneuverability for you to handle any situation as long as you know what you’re doing. They even included a lock-on feature to assist you (in most cases it gets me killed, so I’ve been playing with it off…much easier on ng+’s without lock on). Oh.. and parrying. not something many people attempt, but it’s rewarding when you master it. Also works in pvp, makes people furious.
