[DrDustclouds]

[albusfr]

I got my mum to try out Plants Vs Zombies. She finished it in 2 days

[joms55]

LMAO!! @ tobin

"FUCK THAT GAME"

oh man ill miss you guys. looking forward to rewatching a lot of these though.

[thecriogo]

what happen to banjo tooie

[DrzPapi126]

can someone please explain how MW2 is a let down or bad game whatever .... HOW ??? i dont get it .. especially when BLACK OPS is the biggest disappointment

[chrissy6778]

tekken

[niotrotsid]

What was the name of the game Tobin said at: 19:43? I missed what he said.

[tobin00]

@niotrotsid Half Minute Hero.

[niotrotsid]

@tobin00 Oh ok. Thanks a lot!

[lthomp28]

borderlands is one of my favorite games and i don't even own it

[TheDarkkeychain]

You think your criticism of some games comes from aging, well guess what I have that too since a very long time ago; I'm actualy not that old ; so don't fell too bad about it, ok.

[Toppers128]

so how far is yuzo in demon's souls now? i bet not done:D

[ZombieT3]

The message system in Demon Soul's is not only useful, but fucking hilarious, so are the bloodstains.

You'll be in a safe place called the Nexus, where there's no enemies, yet you see loads of bloodstains on the staircase, but you wonder - how do people die? They all run up the stairs and jump off..

Let's say you're at a ledge, a high one, and there's a message on the ground. You expect it to say something like "Beware of fall ahead", but no, it says "you'll find true love past here." lol

[DonMatteo1310]

I didnt find Demons souls that hard which i think its wierd that tobin didnt like it that much. Im not Hardcore or an RPG fan but i did end up beating it...

[Artimicus]

Aww, you guys didnt mention Dissidia

[emily50011]

what character were you for demon souls

[chibakun72]

I completely agree with both of you guys on flower. Im just 13 now, and i gotta say, im gonna remember that game for my whole damn life, haha.

[crash426mnb]

since you are a big fan of ratchet and uncharted would it be safe to say you like the jak and daxter games for the ps2?

[MrBacchus18]

Nyx Quest is the one game Tobin made me buy! It really is a fantastic game.

[markiii1]

thats great, i can hear wtf hes saying, is he saying next quest og nest quest? wtf

[Demoevolved2010]

Madballs (Steam) is awesome. Still worth getting.

[leo1337hs]

MW2 is an abortion of game now...its not fun at ALL!

uncharted 2 is fucking fun as HELL! everytime i hear the little song it reminds me how awesome that game is.

[leo1337hs]

i download fear 2 demo....i was like fuck this game. delete.

lol

[rayj778]

my top five: Ratchet & Clank Future; A Crack in Time, Uncharted 2, Batman AS, AC2, & New Super Mario Bros. on Wii. Best car racing game: NFS shift.

[nasalisx]

Thank god for youtube, "making it easy for people that should be paid a lot on tv to not be." I really like your show and disconnected my tv to save a few bucks and if I didn't I probably wouldn't have found your show. Keep up the good work.

[lcarus19]

haha I was listening to your wii games and I was about to comment why is there no LKS on it and then it popped up as number 1 :P

[xRiseAgainsT27]

have you guys ever hit over the wine glass with your hand while talking?

[jcp083185]

I love this show! I love your guys opinions on video games. I bought heavenly sword when it came out and that game sucked. The load time and repetiveness sucked ass. I just wished I knew about noobtoob at this time.

[Snipinranga]

man, I still can't believe this...fear 2? lol

[11Airsoft11]

37:20 is were the ps3, 360, and pc is

[GamerFreakFilms]

I COULD DESTROY yuzo at modern warfare 2 my kill death ratio is like 1.80 will like 19000 kills and like 9000 deaths...

[unknownpwnage]

@GamerFreakFilms So?

[GamerFreakFilms]

[jakuthu]

[Terra7Q]

George Green an Investment banker revealing plans for reducing the worlds population drastically.

watch?v=z-kivVAAV-o

[blahblah5492]

What did Tobin jokingly say his #1 current gen was at 50:07? i couldn't make out what he said...

[tobin00]

@blahblah5492 I said Eat Lead, just to piss off Yuzo. :)

[blahblah5492]

Lol thanks.

[ManicMTG]

@tobin00 is there gonna be an HD version of Eat Lead? lol

[merf4]

PLANTS VS. ZOMBIES was so amazing....i stayed up until 4 in the morning playing it!!!! and i just can't stop thinking about it!

[TheMrTehawesome]

@merf4 ..you as well?

[zasdfghjkl1234567890]

Where's fallout 3

[SundayKilgannon]

@zasdfghjkl1234567890 Fallout 3 was 2008

[Archyfeet]

that was 2008

[darkcarnage1234]

fall 2008

[timedemon50]

I love Yuzo's Impression when u said Eat Lead was your number 1.

Btw: EAT LEAD IS THE SHIT!!!!

[Ihateeminem313]

wooow

[seath64]

HOLY SHIT howd u get 58 mins that people will watch?

[tobin00]

Dang. Maybe we'll do a podcast about gardening or something instead.

[xTheAlchemystx]

Lol?

[longhronsforeva]

@tobin00 that would be interesting

[xVampire2165]

ODST #1 disppointment #2 Brutal Legend and how the hell can ppl say that MW2 is a dissapointment?

[Sazaka]

@xVampire2165

Balance is horrible. Maps are horrible. Kill/deathstreaks are horrible. Akimbos are horrible. Snipers are horrible. No dedicated servers for PC. Abuse of map glitches. Nerfing of nades. The list can go on and on.

[MangnoG4m3z]

guys what happened to itunes...?

[supercool5555]

woot finaly i can watch this, other pc stoped playin vids so i bought a new laptop to watch noobtoob ;)

[tobin00]

@supercool5555 Now that's dedication!

[GaMeWaLkTrOuGhER]

biggest let down mw2

supprise morio lugi in side story

[zipperz730]

omfg why do ppl like half life 2 so much call me whatever you want i think id rather beat a jewish hooker with a bat while sucking a dick. than rather play half life 2

[Mahdino]

@zipperz730 thats funny hahaha sure you may not like half life 2 but you never needed to exaggerate anyway i like half life 2 but not as much as the people thats like "OMFG HALF LIFE 2 THE BEST GAME EVER !!!" yea i think they over do it.

[Timefliesbye]

@Mahdino the reason why people say that is because people are stupid and thus think their opinion is the only thing that counts.

So yeah for some people it is the Best game evar.

But yeah Half Life 2 is a solid game and probably One Of The Best but we still have about a Million years of gaming ahead and I think that when VR with realistic feedback kicks in we won't even remember HL2 and instead will all be playing Rapelay 2 with realistic touch.

[TheSlyFox16]

i agree but the whole jewish hooker thing is a little... unnecessary, i think we get the point that you dont like the game, you dont have to offend everyone with A) not only hookers, but jewish ones and B) the picture of you sucking a dick..... ew

[zipperz730]

@TheSlyFox16 fo real i think the hooker thing is necessary for me i have quite a exquisitve review or idea of games

[MangnoG4m3z]

people like it because its an in-depth fps puzzle game.... the story is pretty good and the devolopers really get creative with things... its ok to me but i agree that its not THE SHIT

[z3ro146]

damn iv never seen a video besides the youtube movies longer than 30 mins

[MAZZEKAARTS]

Loved Tobin's top 5 current-gen! Didn't think MW2 was worthy of No.1

[blazin66]

killzone 2 did make me feel something..... queasy

[YazzieBean]

When your next video i need my fix lol. and have you talked about Operation flashPoint 2 if so can you give me the link for that video please?

[AcidicDelusion]

No Chinatown Wars in your best portable games list???

[efeez1986]

Thumbs up to Tobin's best current gen list for adding the very underrated FEAR 2 but thumbs down for not adding Batman AA. Thumbs up to Yuzow's list for adding Demon's Souls but thumbs down for putting MW2 at number one. lol

[SaviourInBlack]

Just went back and looked at scribblenauts review. I didn't really understand what more you wanted out of the game. I get the whole thing about the controls, and the characters annoyingly picking up things. Idk...It's one of those games I'm glad to have in my library just because you can always go back and play it for 20 mins and have fun. Most games you cannot do that. Also thought it was hilarious and ironic that Yuzo was wearing that shirt in that episode.

[SaviourInBlack]

WTF??? You put Scribblenauts and as a disappointing game? I mean, to a point I agree that they could have done more with it, but for heaven's sake, I've spent hours solving puzzles and trying to think up new stuff on that game. Not to mention, EVERYONE that I have shown that game to has loved it. Even people who aren't gamers. Come on guys...it's a brand new concept and it needs respect. Be dissapointed when they put out a Scribblenauts 2 and it doesn't have a bunch of new stuff.

[cryptonate]

Which episode did Yuzo talk about playing Rockband Unplugged for the PSP? I remember watching it, but I can't find it again!

[tobin00]

Just search youtube for noobtoob rock band unplugged, and it'll be your first hit!

[UNEMPLOYEDxxxxJEDI]

Damit, once again Demon Souls finds a way to kick you in the balls . I had over 8,000 souls when I died, then when I went back to get them, I died again and I lost all of my souls.  It's not fair. :(

[Jorgie0101]

Most disappointing game i think was Hannah Montana for the DS.. i was expecting it to be better than Modern warfare 2 & Assasins creed 2 put together! I camped out on the release night for nothing! :(

[gearsofwarisdabest]

When i first saw arkham asylum i thought it was going to be a crappy super hero game but it turns out it was my number one game of 09 while mw2 was number 2 lol.

[Marshallartsmaster]

on the comment about uncharted 2 about it being a movie experience, does anybody remember sword of berserk?

[DeusExMach]

That game made me throw up in my mouth.

[Marshallartsmaster]

ok, well i picked it up played about 10 hours straight and beat it, could'nt put it down. then again i was prolly 12 so i guess i had the time, why didnt you like it?

[thed9984]

@Marshallartsmaster Sword of berserk as in the brawler based off of Berserk the anime.

[JonTheHolyDude]

Say, what are your guy's best game of all time?

[minaimo]

Darkest of Days......WORST GAME EVER

[TheRighteousFascist]

You guys didn't have Halo 3: ODST as one of the worst games or disappointments this year? Am I missing something? Did ODST suddenly become a good game and worth the monies?

[tobin00]

Nah, it was disappointing as hell, it just didn't make the list. It was maybe 4th most disappointing :)

[TheRighteousFascist]

ODST was like #1 for me in most disappointing. Such a bad game, but with such a respected name!

[smsgrabber]

Where's the timestamps? =(

[tobin00]

Nobody added them to the wiki!

[kzundiverus]

Orly?

[tobin00]

Yarly.

[smsgrabber]

I am disappoint.

[kzundiverus]

Hey tobin, would you like me to hand draw a portrait of you and Yuzo during a casual review?Just say the word, and I'll do it.

[tobin00]

Sure, that'd be awesome!

[EricTFitzgerald]

Tobin: Fear 2 and no Infamous?!! Madworld and no Metroid Trilogy? Yuzo: F yeah Demon's Souls. My no. 1!

[fezzyness]

hey tobin! do you have borderlands for PC or 360??

please say PC!!!!!

[ItzLegiitable]

Fezzy they have it on both

[tobin00]

Episode 172 is live, everyone. And even early this week! Go watch it!

[EvenL33tland]

are you youtube partners? and if so, don't u acually make money on it? just saying because u often say that the show doesnt make you money:P

[tobin00]

We don't make any money from the show. The couple bucks a month we get from Youtube goes back into paying for hosting for our forums, or buying pizza for Noobtoobers at PAX.

[Menofus]

@tobin00 Delicious pizza?

[JustinTotino]

If you don't mind me asking, how much do YouTube Partners get anyway?Or did the YouTube people make you not able to tell anyone??

[tobin00]

Not very much. They've been dropping our revenue every month, I guess ads aren't paying very much. We couldn't even cover web hosting with last month's ads.

[Bxboi4lyfe]

Yo Tobin Crackdown 2 was confirmed for the first quarter of 2010!

[tobin00]

No kidding?? HELL YEAH.

[Skimmary]

Torchlight is £3 on STEAM today only :P

[tyvm1219]

I bought Uncharted 2 pretty much based on your review. Best thing I ever did.

[eggnoggerino]

got Nyx Quest today, played it for four hours - really cool game - thanks for the recommendation!!!

[tobin00]

Glad you liked it!

[TekkenIdiot]

could you review Ikaruga for XBL later on? the game is too awesome to leave behind.

[yuzow]

We did a review on that when it first came out. Do a search for "noobtoob ikaruga" for the review!

[ghost2ber]

Tobin and Yuzo, please try this little flash game, it's fantastic: Captain Forever (first result in google). Maybe you've talked about it before, I don't know, but it's worth checking out! I think you would like it more, Tobin, cuz it's similar to pixeljunk:shooter in some ways.

[123xkido]

flower is 4 wat system

[LookieItsEd]

@123xkido for the ps3

[LookieItsEd]

where do you two play borderlands?

[MapleSephiroth]

You guys have live podcasts right? If you do I seriously need to know when those happen.

[tobin00]

Nah, we just put up videos once a week.

[aXque]

Hey tobin, yuzo.

How on earth did you guys not have god of war or crisis core on portable games?

[tobin00]

Because both of those games were 2008 :)

[aXque]

Shit your totally right my bad

[TwentyEightDaysLater]

You two are such tools. Especially the overly-excited Asian dude with the pretentious facial expressions.

[tobin00]

Wow, we've been trolled a lot before, but I don't think anyone has ever called our facial expressions pretentious. Thanks for keeping it fresh!

[TwentyEightDaysLater]

You're welcome. :)

[kooookiemonster]

Your mom was the best ive had in a while then 2009

[ampm91192]

2010 games realy dont look that, so far.. sorry

[sockman534]

what are you talking about dude? Alan Wake, Mass Effect 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, BioShock 2,, Red Dead Redemption...shall I continue?

[kooookiemonster]

Alan wake looks really cool

[albusfr]

also dont forget ff13 and god of war 3

[ampm91192]

cool games but theres realy nothing special...

[sockman534]

You will love them i promise. I guarentee you will be playing them when they release. Mass Effect 2? I'm going to shit on that game

[ampm91192]

maybe, im pretty sure im gonna be playing bio 2, mass effect 2 i will not, not untill i get the 1st one.

[ajail92]

no dragon age! wtf! why!!?

[co0lster]

Hey can I get you psn or whatever it is called. I play codmw2 it is the BEST!

[Ryano1904]

Torchlight is actually ten bucks on STEAM right now... Huge sale going on on STEAM.

[Reignbows]

Woot shirt! I love woot!

GO YUZO

[charliemagoo]

thanks guys, im learning of alot of games from this that i didnt really consider before.

[tobin00]

Thanks for watching!

[Gelboy312]

Resident evil 4 on Wii i still think is one of the best, the controls are so lush.

[1000alibaba0001]

Tobin! Dead Rising 2! Chainsaw on a stick! Watch the trailer!

[acfox1234]

1º love ur reviews 2º some friends tell me that saints row 2 is crap and gta4 is tha shit i wanna know ur opinion on whats tha best game if u got the time plz tell me watchu tink

[tobin00]

We preferred Saints Row 2 to GTA4. Check our our reviews!

[Majima87]

Tobin you know your the Best.

Yuzo you know your an Asshole.

[Pearcinator]

:O Tobin! Wheres Banjo-Tooie??...

seriously though, I wasnt expecting it to be on your list because you only played like the 1st 2 levels (which were easily the weakest of all the levels)

[xXtheguyXxdmn]

haloy shit this is a muth fucking long vid eh?

[tristangfurney]

Awesome year guys!

I was re-watching some of the earlier episodes of your show when I came across this quote by Yuzo in episode 50.

"Can you imagine a Tony Hawk game where your playing and it's on a skateboard? *Sigh* Oh oh it's going to be so amazing"

[tobin00]

Haha. It's so sad when games are that disappointing!

[Reghadran]

Didn't the Wii Tony Hawk come with a skateboard?

[DeadEndFrog]

there is 1 huge problem with multiplatforms, not all are equally good on all platforms,

of course do most of them work the same on xbox360/ps3 but not all (bayonetta for example is alot better on xbox360) but this isnt the case with all, while almost every single one of them are either better on pc, or the worse on pc.

[CSPhobos]

I wish you guys would have these videos available as a podcast, instead of audio-only. Watching the show is half the fun! :)

[360RPGplayer]

The reason I like NooBTooB's game of the year awards is that it's not obvious games.

Like obviously a game with as much hype as uncharted 2 or MW2 are going to be up there but then there are the others like plants vs zombies that you guys tell us about.

Thanks Tobin and Yuzo!

[Knapperr]

its great to be watching the show again guys, WOOOT , gonna watch a bunch i missed :)

[stehmer3]

Plants vs Zombies is sooooooooo good

[GutsandGlory45]

if you see this Tobin, Does this sound like a fair list for GOTY

Batman AA

monden warfar 2

AsCreed2

Uncharted 2

Street fighter 4

This is the Gametrailers list for GOTY and it's have nothing but 500 pages of shit thorwn at it for picking MW2

Whats your informed thought on this.

[tobin00]

@GutsandGlory45 I agree with 2 of the 5. :) This looks a lot more like Yuzo's list than mine, it has four of his five. He LOVED MW2. I know there's a lot of hate for the fact that they disallowed private servers, but I think people are overreacting.

[JaxNJazz]

lol pikmin on n64

[tapp3r]

Borderlands has some big flaws, atleast on console.

[G1ADlATOR]

Tobin you were so exited about monkey island but it didn't make your top list?

[Stealth333]

Tobin man, i feel your love for Fear 2, i was shocked you put it on your list, i thought i was the only other person in this world to consider it one of the best FPS this year, i don't like FPS either but something about FEAR 2 won me over :D

[sirchadric]

woot happy new years tobin and yuzo :D

[slair417]

did u guys ever review dj hero cause u should i like it beter than guitar hero

[yuzow]

Not really a full review, just some impressions. It didn't jazz me enough to shell out the cash to buy the whole shebang, but folks that have played it fully seem to enjoy it.

[1NiCePaNtS]

The full explanation of the bukakke bet is on the forums... It's not as bad as you guys think. :P

[devilstar690]

i just got mad world and it was awesome as hell, great music, amazing game play and soo much blood,

and no more heroes is good but i live in the uk and got the no blood one what sucks

[mikeccuk2006]

you guys gonna stop drinking wine if the bottles filled the background? XD

[roscoe0ne]

noobtoob your amazing avid watcher since ep 43

[iamboredok]

Phew, I'm so glad Borderlands made it onto one of their lists!

:) Great game.

[tobin00]

@iamboredok Have you played the expansions? I still need to do that!

[KunoichiGirlTemari]

I am surprised Fat Princess wasn't on either of their lists for Downloadable

[tobin00]

@KunoichiGirlTemari Wait till you see the Noob's Choice awards this week :)

[rocospi]

man...Valkyria Chronicles should of been Sleeper hit of the year

[ThoseGeeksOverThere]

that came out on November 4th, 2008.

[michaelk123eh]

the thing i dont like about the wii is that they release all these kiddy casual games then when someone decides to make am M game they just say fuck it were going balls to the wall saying fuck at every operatunity and making foutains of blood everywhere which i find realy annoying and stupid the only people i know that like those games are little kids who get a kick out of the f-word and ANY game thats violent why dont they just make a normal M game thats not trying to be over the top

[dragnerymon]

what about pokemon rumble?

Lol MW2 is bad, i dont see what people see in it
