Once again we are without our second favorite Asian pooper, but still rocked a Thanksgiving show! We answer listening questions...yes, we actually had listener questions! We talk about what games we played (big surprise) including MK VS DCU, Mirrors Edge, Kingdom for Keflings, Last Remnant, and more. A little more discussion on the orgasm that is Left 4 Dead. We talk about the ridiculous events of N4G this past week and Rob googles over Tina Sanchez of 1UP. Check it out and enjoy another episode of Distributed Failure. Most importantly, we talk about a little thing called ''Home''.

DF36: L4D and Valkyria Chronicles

mail@distributedfailure.com (Hendersonman, Kush, and Gus) — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0800

Guess who's back this week...That's right, Gus is back and we have a full cast! We discuss a little Valkyria Chronicles, some Left 4 Dead and the new Tomb Raider game (whatever this one is called). We go over Gears of War 2 for a little more and then go into the NXE update. Lastly, we wrap it all up with a little discussion on the new Community Games by yours truly. Not quite the epic show that was #35: Chainsawing Vaginas, but it's still a good one!

DF35: Chainsawing Spider-Man

mail@distributedfailure.com (Hendersonman, Kush, and Gus) — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0800

This show is a man short...featuring only I(Kush) and Rob(Hendersonman), but Gus does make a surprise appearance with an even more surprising Mexican accent. I talk about my disappointment with Spider-Man: Web of Shadows and then we discuss our thoughts on Gears 2 and the L4D demo...Rob mentions his experience with the Bolt demo (yes, Bolt) and we talk about plenty of other recent news and plenty of douchebaggery! EXPLICIT Warning...I earn our Explicit rating this week expect more than just vaginas!

DF34: Fallout 3 Round Table

mail@distributedfailure.com (Hendersonman, Kush, and Gus) — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0800

We start off this week's particularly less than stellar show with what we play...discussing Dead Space, Vigilante 8 on XBLA, Resistance 2 and LittleBigPlanet. We follow that up with a little round table discussion on the Mirror's Edge demo and Fallout 3. The Home beta is brought up and no one seems to care...and for once Gus is right, Valkyria Chronicles is apparently out in stores for real!

DF33: Rob Hates Everything

mail@distributedfailure.com (Hendersonman, Kush, and Gus) — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 01:00:00 -0700

We talk about a bunch of crap, including everything that Rob hates (except Fallout 3 ''Second Greatest Game Evar!'' confirmed). We discuss Dead Space, Fallout 3 (to an extent), Fable 2, Far Cry 2 and much more. Rob hates the Banjo demo (surprise? I think not)...he also hates the new TR demo. That is actually surprising, but he'll still buy it for ''da boobies''. While Rob loves Fallout 3, Gus hates the game...but not as much as Spore! Click it, download it, listen to it, love it, do it! ...Rob also hates LBP...

DF32: Surprise Vagina

mail@distributedfailure.com (Hendersonman, Kush, and Gus) — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 01:00:00 -0700

We talk about the awesomeness of Dead Space. How cool would a Persona game be on PSP. Saints Row 2 shenanigans with Hendersonman and Kush. And Hendersonman bitches about Fable 2 and its lack of DLC that he paid for, and how the game was overhyped by reviews. And Kush talks about Far Cry 2. And then we hit up some news before Nintendo makes Gus go bye bye.

DF31: A Dyslexic Lisp

mail@distributedfailure.com (Hendersonman, Kush, and Gus) — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 01:00:00 -0700

A new episode of Distributed Failure is up and it's full of tasty lisps. We talk about Saints Row 2, the Call of Duty: World at War beta and plenty of other crap I can't quite remember (it was recorded on Tuesday). We talk about the Game Informer's Top 25 PS2 games list and basically I am Mr. Lisp this episode...so just check it out, do it.

DF Special: Yuri Lowenthal

mail@distributedfailure.com (Hendersonman, Kush, and Gus) — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 01:00:00 -0700

Our Special Interview with Yuri Lowenthal. He's the voice actor behind such characters as The Prince in The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Times and Two Thrones, Sasuke from Naruto, and Jinno/Kuma from Afro Samurai. He was an absolute blast to interview and we can't thank him enough!

DF1: The Beginning

mail@distributedfailure.com (Hendersonman, Kush, and Gus) — Fri, 09 May 2008 01:00:00 -0700

Here is our first podcast. The sound is F***** up, but hopefully it doesn't bother you too much. We talk about video games and sausage...a lot of sausage...
