NooBTooB Ep 158 - Penny Arcade Expo 2009 extravaganza!

[OuendanCyrus]

I seem to recall you joking about Swine flu a while before this episode.

[pastordisastor]

Lmfao! it's funny. He still has the same shirt.

[ResidentLR]

tobins t-shirt owns

cuz its true :O

[cal8lfc]

Brutal Legend :( such a disapointment.

[TheDarkkeychain]

Litirally jawdropping, I can't think of any bad game from that year (mostly).

[joeeffect10]

u guys gna review mag?

[CupboardNinja]

Did you guys at least try to talk to Tim Schafer or was he like taking interviews at the time?

[TurKishGold07]

download split second free from this awesome video /watch?v=E9kHJzs8BGM

[OuendanCyrus]

Brutal Legend is so good, right, Tobin?! Right?! Lol

[kakao777]

P4; ( :S sry ).. Ok as usual youtube gets retarded, and now i cant even remove coments... ..i found u guys yada yada.. And Latly i've been havi9ng a great joy returning my interest to the medium. Going through basicly about 3 years of gaming, alot through you guys podcasts.. And i apriciate it so much, hence the hughe wall of text, sry bout that :). I find you guys realy charming and dig the sense of beeing part of a fun discussion about a very interesting medium, with 2 passionate nerds (Y) Ty!

[kakao777]

P3; And so on n so on. But if i recall corectly, last time i felt a slight excitement above average for a game. Was like when mass effect1 was in development.... Recently though, some serius bizz has been going down in the medium. I started watching some minor reviews and such occationly on youtube for the most part. Then i got tired of the 3-6 mins robot-like-from-topic "A"-B-Sorta reviews provided everywhere. Then i found the "longer then 20mins search option- and you guys

[kakao777]

..P2; of products through megazines etc to anylising and following developement, considerable inventions and changes to the medium and what not.. Then later on i suddenly had a quite abrubt ending in my overall-interest to the gaming medium. As im a hardcore fanatic on Starcraft, playing, following the sceene. Alsow occationly been raiding and stubordly puting in lots of fruitless effort to squeeze in imaginable joy to the competative play in Wow. I havent completly dropd gaming

[kakao777]

Hihi, thats giggleicius -much like most content i've watchd from you guys this far- I just noticed i havent subscribed yet ^^. I've been busy watching additional videos everytime i watchd an episode, so i totaly forgot to. Anyway, so i've been a gamer, with a play style varying back and forth from casual to hardcore most part of my life. I used to have an ocd mind set about keeping track of everything going on in the gameing sceene. Everything from shorter reviews

[legonintendo]

Mmm... Earl Grey. You guys should try Chai Tea with milk, a tea-spoon of honey and a dash of cinnamon! It tastes good. Damn good.

[Savin97]

you guys are friends(tobin and yuzo)?

[tobin00]

No,we are MORTAL ENEMIES!

[tobin00]

If I am, my wife is gonna be pissed.

[elchamber]

Tobin and yuzo... is the demo for Dante's Inferno similar to the one you saw at the Penny Expo? I just played the demo and found it pretty nice. Visually, happy it actually looks like it does have a higher frame rate.

[tobin00]

Not sure yet, gonna try it this weekend.

[minaimo]

Sooooooo.... are you still reveiwing muramasa: the demon blade

[King191912]

:( Not happy with Brutal Legend.

With that said, UNCHARTED 2 if fucking amazing, greatest game I've EVER played. Damn, some impressive stuff. Perfect balance of movie and game, far superior to the original.

[tobin00]

I've been hearing a lot of that. :(

[King191912]

Don't get me wrong, the writing is hilarious, and for what it is, it's tons of fun, but it's too easy. Now, I played this at my friends, so I'm gonna rent it and try it on my own console. Maybe it'll be like you said, where I'll like it more cause I play it on my own(I hope).

I will say this. I think Tim has noticed his games not sell like they should, so he casualized it to get more people to buy. Now that's great for him, but not for us.

Anyway, I still look forward to what u guys say.

[mamba5445]

Uncharted 2 is not to easy! i played on hard so thats probably why it was hard for me lol.

[King191912]

hey man, the guy who was going to make the vid just cancelled on me, so I made a thread asking for someone to help me do it(do it for me since I suck at putting vids together) but have gotten no responses. I'm still trying to get some help, but I wanted to let you know if I don't get it to you by Sunday like I promised, I'm sorry. I'm still working at getting the assistance I need though, so not all hope is lost just yet.

[tobin00]

Do you have a list of timestamps and funny moments? We might be able to get someone to do it if you've already done the work of finding a lot of great moments.

[King191912]

Yeah, I have a list with the eps and they're time stamped. That's exacty what I posted on the forum.

[gameandfilmfan]

Brutal legend is far too easy but on the upside Uncharted2 is the best game ihave ever played :)

[benirall1246]

O M G I can't believe there is anyone besides me who remembers the rocketeer, i still have it on tape. One of my favorite movies of all time.

[jeterman23ny]

Are you guys not allowing HD in your videos anymore or something? I'm not sure how or why that would be the case, but I no longer even see the option all of the sudden to play any of your old or new videos in HD. The option to do so is literally not even there anymore. The last video it was and now it isn't. Any idea why? Thanks

[tobin00]

We have nothing to do with it, that's all Youtube. It's annoying though.

[CecoBg3]

omg I love this episode !!!!!!! you talked about so much games

[tobin00]

Wait till you see ep 160 tomorrow, it's all the Tokyo Game Show games :)

[CecoBg3]

that's gonna be awesome keep up the great work guys

[GReaper3000]

when the brutal legend demo came out in the uk i nearly had a heart attack

and yuzo you look like a asian Phill Jupitus

[Orkb0yz]

Well at least Bethesda is coming out with a good game this year ((hopefully.)), I felt that Oblivion was horrible storyline wise and I played all three storylines, felt Morrowind was better.

Anyways, I am OBSESSED with Dragon Age Origins, I really want the next Dragon Age book, The Calling. I plan on playing the extra seven dollars when I get my preordered copy to get the Wardens Keep DLC along with the Blood Dragon Armor DLC, and the Stone Prisoner DLC.

[registrado54]

its always better with boxed... tea?

[born2bewilddude]

i seriously love you guys

and i totally agree with you on MAG it really did just feel old and kinda boring

[Noffkro]

Just noticed Tobin your shirt is the same one from episode 83, nice shirt though.

[tobin00]

Yeah, we don't have an infinite number of shirts, they get repeated sometimes :)

[Noffkro]

I know but I just happened to watch them in consecutive order;)

[MocaKun]

Hey Tobin and Yuzo. i just play the brutal legend demo and OMG dude this game is seriously the shit. i'm so getting it on day one. they even added Richard Horvitz the dude that voice's Raz from psychonauts and he does the psychonauts dances..funny stuff anyways Yow!!! :D

[tobin00]

Yeah, I can't WAIT!

[MocaKun]

hell yeah! but man tuesday just doesn't get here fast enough. i wanna play full game right now.

[TheWalkthroughDude]

Hey Tobin and Yuzo picture GTA:San Andreas map times 2 thats the size of the map on Brutal Legend. Thats 62 square kilometers. Thats MASSIVE

[carloshff]

Just finished Deadspace Extraction... I liked it. Its not near as good as the first one, true, but the story is cool, you get to revisit a bunch of locations inside Ishimura, which is pretty cool, the gameplay is ok, not a "gamebreaker". I mean, if you guys liked Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, I dont see how not to like this one, deadspace wii its a much better game IMO. Plus, the comics that you unlock on the extra section are awesome AND theres a naked chick on storymode lol =)

[tobin00]

Yeah, it's definitely okay. The fixed perspective still kind of drives me nuts though, I want the character to stop jerking their damn head around.

[120Vanquish120]

tobin's excited voice........hahaha :)

[sib350z]

hello can u tell me the top 10 ps3 games coming out plzzzzzz cause i need 2 start ordering

[bub4444]

UNCHARTED 2

That is pretty much all you will need until holiday season 2010. If that's not enough, try:

Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time

Assassin's Creed 2

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Brutal Legend

[Bumbolo]

less cursing boys come on

[EviltoasterofFP]

Man up

[tobin00]

I wouldn't hold your breath on that one.

[Bumbolo]

LOL I know I just wanted to give it a shot

[Bumbolo]

Yo!!! I work and film for flex magazine, you know the muscle Magazine and my buddy and I make feature films on the side. I was wondering if I mailed you guys the film if you would give it some feedback?

[bradzboy]

have you heard of halo legends.

[pinkfloyd32389]

while at tgs, i want to see some stuff about future kingdom hearts games and more info about ff xiv.

[tobin00]

Me too! I'll get all the info I can.

[NZer0Productions]

well, the reason MAG might be choppy because, well yea it has 200 playsers at one time and you were playing the demo version it not the finalized copy. So, it might look worse then the final copy.

[psychotron66]

Dude, think about it. Blizzard got three parts of Starcraft 2, WoW: Cataclysm AND Diablo 3 in the works now. It wouldn't suprise me if we don't see Diablo 3 before 2011.

[mlgkendal]

Michael Jackson gets villified yet professor Layton is allowed to hang around little boys - racism :)

[mario54671]

So...I just got Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story yesterday...and I've already played 10 hours! :/

I can't wait to hear your opinions on this game! I seriously doubt you wouldn't like it!

[tobin00]

Heh I totally love it so far.  :)

[gotmilk3001]

Nice head shaving :D

[BadmanPZ]

HOw did u get to play Diablo 3 ? before its released :D?

[tobin00]

They have unreleased games at PAX to play!

[xPS3xPwnsx]

picked up Scribblenauts today, its freakin awesome, cant wait for your review

[SCGod]

Why can't people just shut up about the swine flu?

So much drama in the world, but I'm glad you made another episode.

Thanks Tobin & Yuzo =D

[13Spacy13]

What System Is MAG for?

Its My Type Of Game

[tobin00]

PS3.

[13Spacy13]

Reminds Me Of Battlefield 2...

[reapXer]

LMFAO!!! you guys are awesome!!!

Keep uo the good work

=D

[Orgyfan6]

I love this show. you guys are fucking cool

[blueandyellowshorty]

did u guys get to play assassins creed 2

[emilm]

Regular flu is more dangerous than swine flu.

[tobin00]

Yeah, but neither of them are any fun. :)

[krnpimperX]

u guys need ur own booth at PAX

[tobin00]

That would be cool except for the whole "having to sit at the booth" part :)

[ddragov1c]

love tobin's shirt.

[Francisah]

Did you guys see Morgan Webb???

[tobin00]

Only in my dreams.

[PatrickLeeConnelly]

Nice go-ti,(don't know how to spell that) Yuzo, it suits you.

[lazy1337genius]

I have a bad feeling that the single player for brink is going to be like unreal tournament 3's where it was EXATLY the multiplayer, and each level was really just an instant action match. Ut3 was good but I would be disappionted if it was like this. LINEAR GAMEPLAY FTW!!! basicly sums up what im trying to say here.

[WesFX7]

The old version of the intro music, and a Yuzo with facial hair? Oh, happy day.

[Dreadstein]

I'm happy you guys liked Dragon Age, it's the game I'm most excited about this year.

[mowgli123456789]

please go to one of those robot arm chef ramen bars! pleeeease

[tobin00]

Ooooh. Yeah, I need to find one of those, I have no idea where they are in Tokyo.

[Canadaftw101]

UZO IS A CAR ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN

[UDeep]

But otherwise thank goodness you guys are spared from Swine Flu! Thanks for the Upload Mr Tobin, this week is Games Galore!

We're following you on Youtube, Actual Website, Facebook....etc...

[UDeep]

Huh?! H1 "Nerd" 1? Sounds funny compared to H1N1.

[morph611]

lol, turn it up to 11!

[paintballerseraph]

tobin's shirt is badass

[cargot35]

another great video guys

[sysouvanh]

its the wine, its nice stuff, cleans while poisons

i don't got h1n1 i live in a town of 260 peeps we know if some one is sick here XD fun fact i have broad band

did it look better than crysis? 14:00

[chubu]

You guys are so loveable. No homoooooooo

Thanks!!!!!!!!

[123lorry456]

iv got a really funny feeling that MAG is gonna have some serious lag .....,unless they have an awsome server ,which could then be a stepping stone for a whole new lag-free era :O :D

[Goldeberg94]

Dead Space on Wii!?!?! WTF!

[tobin00]

Yeah that's what I said :)

[valius1]

Had potential since it was a prequel, but if the gameplay is indeed as bad as described here, that's no good...

[PowerPlanetTheGame]

isn't it just a light gun shooter? it's not REAL dead space.

[tobin00]

It's definitely not real Dead Space.

[WesFX7]

You know, I heard someone say "It's not real _____" about the Resident Evil light-gun games (Chronicles), and someone had a very logical argument as to why there was no such thing as a "real" game in the Resident Evil franchise, at this point.....since even the numbered games have changed gameplay pretty drastically (4 and 5, namely).

I'm not defending the Wii Dead Space game, but in a franchise with only one game prior, it's not so reasonable to say the next isn't a real _____ experience.

[RONDOC68]

there is nothing more satisfying than a good snare playing squirrel.

[Goldeberg94]

Lita Ford is sxe in Brutal Legend

[guitar19904]

yuzo love you shirt where u get it ?

[themarc190]

to prevent the 2009 epidemic remember this motto: Flies spread disease... so keep yours closed!!!

[drumgroovy]

Oh and yeah, when you're in Japan, can you pass Harajuku and take a vid of the street cosplayers there? I heard their shit is like off the hook.

[tobin00]

Sure, I'll see if I can swing by there. I went last time but it was mostly for the awesome 50's greasers :)

[tbonezready4u]

Yuzo is looking a little rough

[thunderwolf3333]

Hey Tobin and Yuzo, did you use an old begining song? Everytime i watch this ep it takes me back to the 70's episodes.

[tobin00]

Heh yeah I took out the orchestral beginning. What do you think?

[thunderwolf3333]

I like it better, Before it always felt like i was about to watch the news, now it feels like noobtoob again. bwick bwik bwik bwik bwik bwik doodely doo doo do doodely doo doo do

[behindtheed]

I prefer the orchestral intro. Went well with the opening animation.

[bygone44]

can't really find anything on brink, but eh u made it sound fun enough to try. i'm stoked for the new ratchet though. to bad the clip that u showed was on one of the levels that is a "globe", i hate that super 3d world kinda play. and once again im going to have to force myself through the terrible clank only parts of the game *sigh*... but its still worth it.

[JenkinsJS89]

I'm drunk, I went to McDonals, I picked some flowers off peoples lawns, I put on some NoobToob, and god fucking damnit, I had a GOOD night, cheers guy, bottle of vodka up to you guys

[raven4469]

you are the best dudes ty for all the work

[tobin00]

Thanks for watching!

[jam2go]

Is that a xkcd shirt?

[tobin00]

Yep!

[8innergate]

rewatched this episode cause it was just that awesome=D

[tobin00]

Sweet, hope it's just as good the second time :)

[evilsockz]

No Red Faction Guerilla?

[kemando12]

no odst??? WHY?

[vickoppa]

man, i am in university right now, i wish in the future i would get the chance to chill with you guys at least once. NOOBTOOB ROCKS!

[littlekittygarden]

Yuzo Watanabe... LoOoOoOoOoO

[FawksMaKlawd]

I knew brink was gonna be good if bethesda picked em up.

[dunderdolt]

I preordered seven games last weekend. My wife asked me why I even have Gamefly.

It truly is a great time to be a gamer.

[ConsoleSniper]

I'm going next year. =D

[tribalport]

im goin next year!!!!!

[Pizzatrooper]

This was one of my favorite episodes great job guys, these games are looking awesome, glad you guys had fun. Too bad about the guys who got sick though :(

[Wingsabr]

I like how you said that developers have to be good at a game so that people will buy it. Well could someone tell that to Epic, because each of them suck ass at Gears.

[rob111094]

Great vid. KEEP IT UP NOOBTOOB!!!!!!

[tobin00]

Thanks for watching!

[ffofy7891]

I had a lot of fun with you guys and the rest of the NooBTooBers, thanks for everything :)

[tobin00]

No problem, thanks for showing up! It was awesome chilling with the Army this year.

[P1tchBlack]

seeing uncharted 2 makes me want a ps3

[sheMan32]

i had swine flu! got better after like 4 days!

[PredatorElite666]

Did any of you get a chance to play Asassin's Creed II ?

[PredatorElite666]

erm...Kratos got wings in GOW2 ;) (Iccarus')

[saliva1010]

LOVE your shirt Tobin

[zombie722]

there wasnt anything about modern warfare2 that sucks i preordered it i atleast wanted some gameplay

[JMiseryOfficial]

Hey guys great show! Been watching it since the beginning, you guys are great!

My question is, Tobin, should buy Psychonauts on the Xbox Marketplace? :D

[tobin00]

What kind of question is that? If you've been watching a while, you know the answer already :)

[JMiseryOfficial]

Lol, good point dude! Gonna buy it now! And man, you're friend list on Xbox is full :(

[DaRkSlAyEr1458]

Demon souls bitches, DEMON SOULS....

at TGS....Heavy Rain obviously.....the new Pokemon game for the DS that came out (yes, I said that)....uhh....make another Japan Food video lol, I loved it so much....haha

[cpucpu2]

yes, yes you should. they would recommend it just as anyone in the world

[holla61902]

I have a game recommendation. If you haven't heard about it it's a game called Demon's Souls. It's published by Atlus and its coming out October 6. It is already getting good reviews and people have been saying that it is like Diablo with full 3D controls. I haven't heard a lot of people talking about it and I want to know what you guys think of it before I get it.

[drumgroovy]

Zeus jacking off on a serpent's face? What was in that earl grey?

[tobin00]

Heh it doesn't take much to make me run my mouth.

[drumgroovy]

Rob Halford is in Brutal Legend?!

[Brist94]

Tobin when do you think cataclysm comes out ??

[smarticus757]

i need tobins shirt!!!

lol awesome show awesome games

[MrBlueStudy]

lol@Tobin's man-crush on Drake.

[QuintanillaForever08]

Fantasticly entertaining show guys! Funny shirt by the way Tobin!!!

Did you guys by any chance get you're hands on Heavy Rain or see anyone else play it? I was hoping that would have been on you're list.

Uncharted2 & GOW3 look amazing & i can't wait to get my hands on them.

Keep Working Hard guys!

[tobin00]

I'll keep my eyes open for Heavy Rain at Tokyo Game Show for you. I didn't see it at PAX!

[ShadowMoses12]

What do you think about Bioshock 2? What do you think about its new multiplayer aspect?

[QuintanillaForever08]

Thank You. I really appreciate that Tobin

[Pearcinator]

Brutal Legend multiplayer looks fucking awesome! Theres vids of it too that you should check out...its got a lot of strategy elements (im not a fan of rts) but it looks fun because its not as bone-crushingly deep as some of the rts's out there.

BRUTAL LEGEND will be fucking awesome!!! Day 1 buy for me too!

[BRIANLIGHT1010]

Borderlands wtf ???

[AidenZero]

man tobin, your shirt screams your personality haha

you need to make a line of shirts, everything followed by ",bitches"

[tobin00]

You're right.  Bitches makes everything better.

[DonMatteo13]

ill drink to that

(despite the fact that im 14 and haven't drank a lot of alcohol or lost my virginity LOL :) )

[ebayporn123]

left 4 dead 2 is gona be fail tobin im sorry man but i feel that way just l4d1 with meeles and their actually dumming down the graphics cuz 1 pcs these days suck so they want ppl with shity comps to buy it

[Notownsoad]

"extravaganza!"? lol wtf

[jtaz612]

check out the joystiq pics at PAX.

I saw a few Noobtoobers!!

[dukie827]

I'm not sure if Gran Turismo 5 will be at TGS but if it's there, can you guys go check that out?

Thanks.

[LittleSocrates]

Dunno if you realized this, but BioWare made Baldur's Gate back in the day, so the comparison's totally valid.

[elpicos8091]

yuzo when your shooting the gun in mag are you holding down the trigger? cus most shooting games aren't like halo lol

[yuzow]

At first I was, but then I started doing bursts like I usually do in cod4. It helped, but still took forever to kill someone

[vanshma]

You guys should review Mario and luigi: Bowsers Inside Story.

[tobin00]

We will as soon as it's for sale in stores.

[2tonearmy1192]

Man I hope the new Splinter Cell doesn't have levels that could last an hour and 30 mins playing it for the first time.
