We shake off E3 grogginess by ending the console war, breaking windows and giving away free DVDs

Words: Brett Elston on June 12, 2009




 
Top 7… E3 announcements you missed – the stories and games that slipped right past us

Nintendo’s E3 press conference – was a lot like last year’s, and we’ve got the audio evidence

Prototype Super Review – Mikel finally admits he accepts bribes from Microsoft. And Activision. Oh and Sony. Probably Nintendo too

Which console will win Fall 2009? – let’s settle this whole “console war” thing right here and now

God of War III vs Bayonetta vs Dante’s Inferno vs Darksiders – four top-tier scrappers, one biased opinion on all of them. Don’t listen to Mikel!

Win one of five Friday the 13th DVDs! – Enter our contest and you too could be stabbed in the heart with a piano leg

Question of the Week #39 – What’s the angriest you’ve ever been at a game? More than one piece of glass has fallen to the T-Dar crew…


Above: Chris met Valve’s Doug Lombardi at E3! No sign of his long lost bruddah though…


Above: Exclusive screenshot of Street Fighter V: Compartment Chests


Above: The podcast’s sounded rough for a couple of weeks. We think seven more cords might have fixed the problem


Above: A totally spontaneous shot that happened right after we set the camera on a 10-second timer and posed in front of it


Above: ClusterShart found a stockpile of old lens flares no one was using…


Above: …and somerandomchap’s uncle works at Nintendo, who totally gets to play games that aren’t out yet

Head to the forums and join the T-Dar community or die cold and alone

    I hate Valve. THAT'S RIGHT I SAID IT. But I do agree the L4D protest stuff is a bit ridiculous.

    Why edit out the seven minutes of Beatles shouting?!
    (also is it totally wrong that I'm almost as bad as Brett about the Beatles and I'm actually from Liverpool? >_<)

    And I think the reason Jade Raymond isn't being put front and centre anymore is because her being a producer means she's basically responsible for everything wrong with the first Assassin's Creed.

    Sorry for double-post, but if it wasn't obvious, that was my answer to the question of the week.

    This one takes some setting up, but I promise it's worth it. Traditionally, I have had anger issues regarding games...tons of broken controllers, a girlfriend hurt by an attached headset while I threw a wireless 360 controller...but a month ago was the worst.

    My 360 RRoD'd, so to get over it, I got on my PS3 which 5 days later YLoD'd (Yellow Light of Death). It is out of warranty, and a 60GB to boot. I bought a $30 Dreamcast game and began playing my DC. In one week, the A/V outlet just gave out (second Dreamcast to have that happen) and so I was crushed.

    On Chris's recommendation I bought GTA for DS, and got addicted, and two weeks later, I got angry at a failed mission and slammed the DS down on a table, thinking these things were traditionally indestructible Nintendo products, but I was wrong. With the bottom screen broken, I sat there, all my games broken, and with a little sob, I tore the DS in half. I then threw the pieces in the yard and sold all of my 360, PS3, PS2, and DC games, vowing to disavow gaming as a hobby. However, while listening to T-Dar (I'm not sucking up, I am being honest) I just had the realization that I can't give this hobby up, even if it is a financial nightmare.

    The only problem now is that I have to start fresh, with only a working Game Boy, Genesis, and Gamecube to play. But don't worry, I'm still here, still a gamer.
