Podcast #107 Viewer Questions

[BOPPeed]

Scott from Indiana(BOPPeed'sPlayroom in chat)

What's the difference between voiced viewers and mods in chat (cue Brad's chat ad if he hasn't already done it).

Voiced viewers such as halfjaw, darknezz, and mordiford are very prominent names on the channel. Are they becoming mods, are they the people who were offered to be mods but declined, or is there more to becoming a mod than what I know.

I'll be glad to hear from you if I can.

Have a nice day.

Hey 4pp. Brandon from California. Noodles N Sauce in chat.


Will we ever see PC games broadcasted on the feed, like Diablo 3 or Starcraft 2, since I seem to hear those the most in the feed? If so, when can we expect this and will you guys do similar things like Online Night so we can possibly get some Starcraft 2 or Diablo 3 parties going?

Do you guys think OnLive will actually succeed, and change gaming, or is it too ambitious, and will fall into obscurity because of it?

Katie (Criana) From Wisconsin:

Hey guys, (I apologize if this has been asked already) but I was wondering what is your least favorite (or most disappointed) game for one of the gaming platform (XBOX 360, PS3, or Wii). Thanks a bunch.

What you think about the new Bionic Commando game that will be released May 19?

Do you think Max Payne games will change now when rich american's took it under their hands?

[school]

After listening to the drunk rambling in ListenUP over this topic, I would like to hear you guys discuss this:

Why do you play games? Why should people play games?

So, you guys have been doing this for about a whole year. You guys have have been progressing from 1 viewer a day, to 700, and a lot of subscriptions. Where do you guys see yourselves another year from now?

Do you believe that game with good gameplay and bad story be good enough to play through the whole thing, or vice-versa(crappy gameplay, good story)?

Ex. for me is MGS3 where I don't really like the gamplay (mostly because im a very impatient person), but I love the story and thats whats driving me to finish the game. One a side note, i mentioned MGS3 because i just started the series with the help of my friend who told me to play 3 first to follow the time line of the story.

Good question school. (BONERZ).

I actually have a similar question, but a totally different one.

Shawn Elliott created a term in games media called a "game boner", which is indicative of the excitement you have towards a game before it comes out. You would stoke your boner by visiting game media sites and viewing screenshots and videos, and when the game comes out, you finally get release and the game is never seen in the same grand way.

My questions. What is the biggest game boner you've ever had, and how do you view that game now?

I saw a show on the BBC (british channel) a few days ago which argued the point that there is basically no immersive storytelling in gaming compared to books. The example they gave was caring about saving a princess in a game in contrast to reading it at the end of a book.

I tend to agree with this at the most part but I think it's the fault of the game and not all games in general. I came close to tears in parts of Metal Gear Solid 4; I really do think it hits the nail on the head in terms of sucking you into it's story and characters.

Anyway, my question is, "are there any games that suck you right into the story, forcing you to care for it's characters and plot?"

[chocothunda]

Kyle from California (Chocothunda in chat)

Have ya'll played any games drunk? If so, got any stories, and if not, what are your thoughts about it?

Ex: About a few weeks ago, I was playing RE 5 with one of my friends at a party. We managed to get up to chapter 3-1 before stopping, but from chatper 1 all the way up to the middle of chapter 2, I was all kinds of gone .

Nintendo and Tecmo have recently commented that Fatal Frame 4: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse will not be published the American or European territory.
As a game series that is very popular in the podcast how do you feel about this?
