Awesome opossum!

mercurius_01 · 10 months ago

Dan, were you not ready for the photo? you look like someone caught you off guard. and is that one of those old school tiger hand held things?

Shoe · 10 months ago

Nah, I tend to make strange faces when my photo's being taken. :)

reidypeidy · 10 months ago

The second link is not working for me. Is anyone else having the same issue?

JD · 10 months ago

what happened to part 2?

john tv (Ricciardi) · 10 months ago

Part 2 link is broken!

CrispinB · 10 months ago

Hmmm... Seems to be working now. The hosting site must have crapped out for a while. It can't handle serving more than 100 fecal greaseburgers at a time.

John · 10 months ago

It was great listening to that. I was cracking up the whole time. Thanks again, guys.

Jonny · 10 months ago

Tell us the truth. Is Denny's providing the mysterious "backing money" you keep referring to?

Shoe · 10 months ago

They were funding us with an initial $10,000,000 investment, but then pulled it because of what Crispin wrote above. Now they're suing us for $10,000,000. That's a $20,000,000 swing in one post! I thought Obama was gonna fix the economy!

CrispinB · 10 months ago

Everything would've been fine if they still had the Minnieburgers.

JD_Ure · 10 months ago

minnie burgers are a lie. 4Mb + B/C>=1Fb +M/C (whereas B is bacon, M is mushroom and C is cheese) Hell, any dishwasher worth his salt knows this equation.

Chris Tilton · 10 months ago

Burger King now has mini-burgers, ironically called "Burger Shots," invoking memories of the bloody BK parody burger chain, "Burgershot" from the GTA franchise. I wonder if BK realized this at all.

CrispinB · 10 months ago

Burger King seems pretty hip with their Facebook lose-a-friend promotions and amazing videogames and whatnot. I'm sure they're GTA-savvy. Beef imitating art imitating beef.

JD_Ure · 10 months ago

more like cow ass imitating beef imitating art imitating beef

digipen89 · 10 months ago

All I could find that might remotely be what Crispin's game is:

Little Magician's Magic Adventure

Wikipedia was no help.

dave · 10 months ago

For a moment there I thought Crispin was doing translations for hentai games...

digipen89 · 10 months ago

Hey. Why can't hentai games be for a casual market?

CrispinB · 10 months ago

I wish.

Steve · 10 months ago

I'm glad I didn't donate. WTF is this?

Andrew A · 10 months ago

It's awesome, that's what it is!

Shoe · 10 months ago

Well, we *used* a tiny bit of the donations for this, but we're using the rest of it way more legitimately. They're helping us to build "Project P" at the moment: http://sorethumbsblog.com/post/72144010/new-pro.... :)

john tv (Ricciardi) · 10 months ago

The sub shooter you were talking about is In the Hunt, from Irem. :)

Josh H. · 10 months ago

Yes it was and it was hard as fuck. I would be mortified if that was my game test.

cvaldez · 10 months ago

So then that's a sequel/remake to Sqoon, which was for the NES, also from Irem?

sdstone · 10 months ago

Did you record this yesterday? I totally went there (downtown SF) for lunch yesterday. I felt so bad the rest of the day that I had trouble going to sleep. I think it was the cold 'sausages'. I think I cried a little.

CrispinB · 10 months ago

Just go sit on the toilet until you feel better.

Snesboy · 10 months ago

Crispy you look good!

CrispinB · 10 months ago

Thanks! Keep in mind that photo was taken prior to consumption of the $12 Wild West Fecal Greaseburger.

Snesboy · 10 months ago

I have to try one of those.

digipen89 · 10 months ago

Hope you didn't use the Denny's bathroom.

MrRogers · 10 months ago

Great! My place of employment has block access to the Dennyscast. drats!
Bob Evan's - Now that's quality.

CrispinB · 10 months ago

Seriously--right up there with Cracker Barrel.

MrRogers · 10 months ago

You want to know a funny little tidbit about Cracker Barrel?
To bad I'm telling you anyway. (^_^)

I once applied at C.B. and on the application they had algebraic equations [for a dish washer!], seriously.

"Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally" when I wash, rinse and sanitize.

CrispinB · 10 months ago

Wow--good to know in case I ever need a job at Cracker Barrel. I better know how to solve for X!

Jeff V. · 10 months ago

I believe the game you guys were thinking of is "The Hunt for the Red October".

Jeff V. · 10 months ago

Oops! The game you're looking for is "In the Hunt", which was mentioned already. I was thinking of the other side-scrolling submarine shooter.

borrowedchief · 10 months ago

Pretty flippin epic. And I could eat Pancake Puppies ALL DAY LONG!!!!

CrispinB · 10 months ago

They do look pretty damn good, actually.

Brian · 10 months ago

Haven't gotten a chance to listen yet but I followed your "rad background tunes" link and found something very disturbing about the singer of the last song in the collection.

CrispinB · 10 months ago

No spoilerz!

JD_Ure · 10 months ago

It's a picture of styrofoam covered in sand, with a little cup of motor oil on the side.

czartim · 10 months ago

iTunes link?

Shoe · 10 months ago

None...sorry!

czartim · 10 months ago

Fix it my friend! http://www.libsyn.com/

I only listen to podcast when I'm out and about. :)

CrispinB · 10 months ago

Thanks for the link. We'll do it up right for our Red Lobster Dennyscast.

Brocken · 10 months ago

Shouldn't it be the Lobstercast, then?

CrispinB · 10 months ago

That would make too much sense.

ATC_1982 · 10 months ago

i remember as a child on trips from TX or NC when going to CT we would stop at Denny's. I only remeber getting the cherry cheesecake only on ever stop up there.

Nice post cast and now I must supply money for meals at this establishment to get a good podcast to continue. Damn you taxes need to hurry up.

Joe Rybicki · 10 months ago

My sister used to be a food stylist. Truly! And the funny thing is, they're allowed to use whatever they want to make the food look good (it's true that white glue is used as a replacement for milk in cereal shots), except the food being advertised MUST be real. So the milk can be glue and the strawberries can be plastic, but the Kellogg's Corn Flakes MUST be Kellogg's Corn Flakes.

However, that's not to say the food can't be manipulated in other ways. So, for example, ice cream can be smeared over a styrofoam shell to make a perfect scoop-sphere, or a cooked lasagna can be flash-frozen to make it glisten better. It just has to be real, it doesn't have to be presented as you'd serve it.

I thought that was interesting.

And oh yeah, I liked the show.

CrispinB · 10 months ago

Thanks Joe! That's interesting about the food stuff, too. Maybe I'll try the lasagna flash frozen next time.

jin · 10 months ago

ah man! my internet's throttled… cant download shit atm.

can't wait to see whats you lot are coming up with next…

BxLxSx · 10 months ago

"$13 for a burger...that's almost good restaurant prices."

Chris Tilton · 10 months ago

Fun Denny'sCast guys. Question. Can Crispin take a short video of the Game.com? I've heard the sweet sounds of Batman & Robin for years, but I've never actually seen what it looks like, and what you press to make those sounds. I can't find ay videos online of it anywhere!

CrispinB · 10 months ago

I can try. The Game.com has the contrast of a calculator wristwatch and the motion blur of the original Game Boy. It would probably be easier for me to recreate the game on an Etch-a-Sketch.

Trickman Terry · 10 months ago

Maybe I'll attempt a quick video of the game play when it arrives. My Batman & Robin game.com cart should be coming in the mail shortly (Yes, I'm serious). :)

CrispinB · 10 months ago

Wow--you're joining an elite club of gamers, Trickman. I'll teach you the secret handshake next time I see ya.

Trickman Terry · 10 months ago

lol! I just miss hearing it played over the Ziff intercom and I need my fix every once in a while.

JD_Ure · 10 months ago

How awesome is A Life Well Wasted? I really loved the loose conversational style of 1up yours, but this shows how some extra production polish can make a huge difference(no offense Skip). I especially liked the way he masked the ambient noise in the interviews with music fades.

Tosus · 10 months ago

Hi!
I plan to listen to the Cast, but may I request that you provide the MP3 files as enclosures in the RSS so that we can download it in iTunes directly? You'd be best off splitting the post in two in that case, some podcatchers can't handle multiple enclosures per post.
I'll let you know what I think of the show when I've listened to it!

CrispinB · 10 months ago

Yeah, lemme look into this. I just got the Video Professor series on VHS, so lemme see what he has to say about this "iTunes" thing. I just finished the tape on daisywheel printers.

KindGalaxy · 10 months ago

Shoulda gone with betamax man, that VHS shit is just a fad.

CrispinB · 10 months ago

Video Professor talks all about Betamax on tape 7, right after the section on the 5.25 floppy disk.

Pieman · 10 months ago

nice podcasts but i'd like to subscribe on iTunes. I'm pretty sure you'd get a few more fans aswell

CrispinB · 10 months ago

Thing is, I'm not sure how regular these podcasts are gonna be. I think we'd turn off any newbies once they heard the audio quality and hot ordering action.

borrowedchief · 10 months ago

Are you guys going back on Tuesday for a free Grand Slam?

CrispinB · 10 months ago

That deal sounds way too good to be true. Plus, I think free at the San Francisco $12-burger-Dennys = >$5.

Nick · 10 months ago

Yeah, but free greasy sausages and mangled bacon is worth the risk. Plus I'm excited to see the freakshow. I better bring a poopsock for the ride home.

ArrestedDeveloper · 10 months ago

The new project sounds great, just make sure that you guys do a podcast as well. I can't go on much longer without Crispin's bat man and robin noises as a part of my weekly life.

digipen89 · 10 months ago

I just noticed how monstrous the Game.com was to the recording device. Holy crap. The Game.com could Jason Mason the hell out of that thing.

Jonny · 10 months ago

Free Denny's today (February 3rd)! Think of all that money you could have saved your investors. Come on folks, we're in a recession here.

CrispinB · 10 months ago

We blew it.

Asanab76 · 10 months ago

Grand Slams for all - Nothing like podcasting to artificial Syrup and Sausage Links.

Shoe · 10 months ago

I really wanted to go, but then all I could think about is how crowded San Francisco Denny's could be with our huge homeless population. If I were them, I'd be trying to get 6-8 free meals in today.

A. Fitch · 10 months ago

Good call. Greg Ford and I tried stopping by Denny's yesterday, but in the words of G. Ford, "every bum within a five-mile radius" was already there.

We went to Subway instead.

CrispinB · 10 months ago

This is what we missed (courtesy of Michael Donahoe's Twitterings): http://twitpic.com/1bf01

Brandon · 10 months ago

Haha yeah Todd Rogers is really weird. He made a few appearances on a podcast I used to listen to called "All Games Interactive" back in 2007. All those classic game record holders are weird.

Jeremy · 10 months ago

Well done gentlemen, I'd love to hear another one day. Uh, though if possible, a quieter location would be great, haha!

Shoe · 10 months ago

We did this at 3 pm and picked a back, out-of-the-way booth...and it was still noisy! We need headsets with mics that'll capture our eating noises up-close. :)

Brian · 10 months ago

You guys should bring your podcast to IHOP instead--then you can get some cred from the global community. It also doesn't hurt that they have better food.

Shoe · 10 months ago

LOL...but food-wise, Denny's > IHOP!

CrispinB · 10 months ago

I'm pretty sure the International House of Pancakes works like an embassy, too, so you can seek diplomatic immunity there if you commit a crime. Not sure what happens if you hold up the IHOP, though.

John · 10 months ago

I love these stories, guys. Keep 'em coming. Can't wait for Waffle-House-Cast.

CrispinB · 10 months ago

Waffle House is called Mister Omelet in my neck of the woods.

Mucudadada · 10 months ago

Just saw this:

Congrats! I'm excited to watch!

John · 10 months ago

great podcast hope there is more to follow and looking forward to the project keep it up guys.

Reni · 10 months ago

Dan "Shoe" Shoe? Really, Crisp...?

aspro73 · 10 months ago

I thought it was Sub Hunter...

Dennyscast was great, and don;t worry about the sound quality, it had higher production values than most of the VG podcasts I listen to.

Graham · 10 months ago

Photobucket FTL!

Put this on iTunes so I can easily continue to listen to your podcasts please!
