GameHounds Episode 49: The Wookie Episode

Why is this week’s episode The Wookie Episode?
Believe us when we say it will become patently evident once you listen.
Cooper Hawkes and Edie Sellers once again bring you this week’s latest in gaming news. Or at least the parts of gaming news that they find interesting.
Topics include:
- Q Entertainment’s Dylan Cuthbert says there’ll be at least two more Pixeljunk games in the next year. Can we get a woot?
- Nielsen Research releases its year-end report of media usage, and the video console results are very surprising.
- Wiley Publishing announces a partnership with Electronic Arts to create “For Dummies” books on gaming. Ugh.
- Kotaku’s Owen Good nails it with a scathing piece about Illinois, Alcopops, video games and a seemingly permanent departure from sense or reason.
- VG247 says is has a very well connected and adamant source that says LEGO Rock Band is in the works. Hawkes puts his body where his mouth is. Check out the forums to offer suggestions.
- A new book by two former IBM engineers details how Sony got royally double-donged by Microsoft and Big Blue over the Cell Processor.
- We got drunked dialed… again.
And of course, lots of fun, a few internet disconnects and more Hawkes than you can shake a stick at.

I thought this podcast was rather shallow. Edie sounds very boring and Hawkes sounds like a Geico Caveman with a hint of lemon twist. My suggestion to you two is that you both remove yourselves from the podcast and just let dead air record for the podcast. While listening to your podcast I found myself subconsiously wrapping rope around my neck and attaching to a ceiling fan. The only thing that stopped me from hanging myself was that the podcast ended. And I though watching Queer Eye for the Straight Guy was the highlight of my life. I suggest listening to Balls in DNM mouth podcast Or the All male DNM gangbang Vidcast.
Cheers

Just heard the podcast last night.
Glad that you were able to get a copy of Left 4 Dead and I look foward to playing it with you sometime, Edie.
Some Strategy guides I use as a “How do I get through this section that I’m having trouble with?” kind of guide. Others (like Oblivion or Fallout 3) I use as a reference for how to accomplish things like create spells and potions or where I might find an item like a bobblehead. In either case neither of them play the game for me, just help and I have them but mostly ignore them. Think of them like the old help lines Nintendo had except they’re readilly at hand and don’t cost me $2.95 a minute.
I’m thinking that I might want to cause a little mischeif and send a couple of cases of that book to Sony.

Some of the shows imperfections are what make them so great.

Another good podcast, with funny sound affects curtisy of random shit.
As off topic as this is, fox hunting is banned in England, After many protests one way or another including people storming paliament.
I was tempted to vocie mail you pretending to be a sober version of the drunk dude, (I indeed have the posh english accent to carry it off) but im out of credit and free minutes for this month already…

Please follow your instinct and toss that rope into an industrial ceiling fan.

I was joking “A Fan” It was from last week when some guy named DNM made a post like that about the show. I thought it would be funny to carry it over. Mister anonymous fan guy/girl. Besides I love my life

I assumed the jackass from last week was posting as you. The other guy probably didn’t recognize you as a regular.
