Hilarious intro to the podcast, usually involving an anecdote about Jake and I being heroes.
Interesting way of telling you that we talked about Alan Wake, Dragon Age: Awakening and Red Dead Redemption, that ties into opening joke.
Goofy and self deprecating outro and gracious compliment for listening, placed at the end of the post.
Signature at the bottom saying, “(MS)Mike out.” in it.

Jake and Mike VGS podcast Episode 29: Dog Shoes
by
Once Upon a time, There were two boys that loved video games veeeeeeery much. In fact, they loved them so much that they spent an hour every other week telling people how much they loved them. One week, the two boys decided they were going to talk about Dead to Rights: Retribution, The deal that Activision made with Bungie, and the evil and wicked Monster Hunter Tri.
After they finished talking about those things, people were so happy that they made them their kings. And they lived happily ever after…. That was until being co-king wasn’t good enough for Jake anymore and he killed Mike in cold blood.
The End

Hey! Read this bitch!
by 
I haven’t posted here in a minute so I figured I would throw down a bad ass blog post. I have been playing games, mainly more Battlefield Bad Company 2, Final Fantasy 13, Pokemon Soul Silver, and Just Cause 2. I haven’t had much on my mind lately about gaming, except for how Project Natal and Sony’s Move will not end up getting supported and fizzle out. We already knew that though didn’t we? I feel like this has all happened before… Oh well.
Anywho (I know it’s an annoying way to say anyway) I guess I just wanted to post to say nothing, but something. I don’t know what that something is but I’m sure you reading this will figure it out. I am pretty excited for Skate 3 and Lost Planet 2 coming out soon. Should be some good CO-OP action going down in May, until then I guess I will just have to cry while I play games alone.
Jake
PS I don’t really cry, I’m hella manly and shit.

By not remembering until after we recorded and then mentioning it in the podcast release notes!! Hell yeah, thats how Jake and Mike Party! So give this piece a listen and enjoy the eargasms you are about to receive!

Nintendo drops the new handheld bomb on all our faces!!
by
In a strangely timed move, considering we have E3 and TGS still to come this year, Nintendo announced that the new system to take over the handheld crown held by Nintendo for the last 20 or so years and the replacement to the Nintendo DS will be released spring next year and is tentatively being called the Nintendo 3DS, due to their remarks that it will have a significantly increased graphics capability and the ability to simulate 3D graphics without glasses of any type.
Here’s what we know about the system so far:
-It will be completely backwards compatible with all current gen DS games.
-It will include the twin camera’s present in the DSi. (possibly with a better resolution do to complaints about the quality of the DSi’s cameras)
-They have gone on record saying the graphics ability of this system will be greatly improved from what the DS was able to do. Alot of people are speculating something better looking then most PSP or iphone games seems like an obvious next step for Nintendo to make.
-Nintendo has said they have plans for it to include a “3D joystick and force feedback system” both of which would be firsts for Nintendo if they were included into the system itself and not some type of add-on.
-Official unveiling and revealing of more details will be done at E3 this year, where I’m sure they’ll have saved a few surprises for everyone.
-And finally, this is not just a new model of DS, like the DS lite, DSi and DSi XL were, but a brand new Generation of Nintendo handheld meant to continue and move along as an eventual DS replacement.
Now I would’nt be surprised if a few more solid details drop before the full E3 announcement, but don’t expect Nintendo to tell us everything ahead of time, I’m sure something crazy will be released during the show that week, so keep your eyes peeled.
-(MS)Mike out.
Pretty cool find right here!

If you played heavy rain then you’ll recognize this man, as the voice and face of Scott Shelby from Heavy Rain. We’ll he was in a movie a few years back and had a scene wear he essentially plays Scott Shelby, so it’s pretty cool to see something like this that happened before the game, but is being viewed after having played it. Enjoy.

I’m proud to call myself a fan of EA…. Well I am NOW at least
by
A few years ago EA was looked at the same way that a lot of us view Activision these days. A giant heartless corporation. A company that just shills out the same trash over and over. Development that doesn’t seem like its aimed to really show true quality in anything but a small handful of AAA titles.
Back in 2007, though, EA and its heads put themselves at the mercy of the public and pleaded for a second chance. They begged for the permission to re-invent themselves as something other then just another giant Activision, and improve the quality, mindset and development of their approach on the video game community.
Now here we are three years later and EA is definitely a completely different company than they were back when they asked for our approval. Is that for the better or the worse though, because it appears from where I’m standing, that they have made one hell of a turn around in my eyes.
Back in the day EA seemed content with putting their name on anything and everything. They had turned into a sequel assembly line that seemed over saturated with sports game after sports game. A parade of garbage based on licensed movies and childrens shows. A few long lasting series had been run into the ground, no longer holding the clout they used to.
Fast forward to the EA od 2009/2010 and you’d never know they were even the same people. They have a strong line up of new IP’s and well received sequels. They’ve distanced themselves from the type of garbage licensed things they put out in the past, instead focusing more on a few small and well known licenses.
Most importantly, they’ve dropped the assembly line style development style and surrounded themselves with quality game makers like Bioware, Criterion, Dice, and Visceral. Those three devs alone could speak miles about the types of games EA is putting out, but also give you a good example of how the companies take on DLC has made one of the biggest changes.
2 years ago when Mass Effect and Bad Company came out, EA was the a giant culprit of some of the worst DLC practices in the industry, but now they have created standards and practices that create games like Rock Band 2 and Burnout Paradise that have some of the most exceptional DLC in the industry.
I’m not really sure where I was going with this, but it’s just nice to see a huge video game giant like EA ask everyone if they can have a second chance to make themselves the type of company that doesn’t always seem like theyre up to something, or bleeding you dry. To be less like Activision, and be more like Valve, and if you ask me, they have succeeded and alot of the video game world could learn alot from the moves and changed EA has held themselves to over the last 3 years.

We talk about my thoughts on the new game Dante’s Inferno as well as 3rd person action games in general, but thats not all, we also talk about demonic nipples! How can you pass that up?!

Yuuuuup, some really cutting edge stuff we’re trying here at the Jake and mike VGS, so give it a listen and if you like what you hear, takes your clothes off and check us out on Itunes and pop-Droid.com

Soooo what have we learned?
by
Some interesting news from the latest US game sales charts, Bioshock 2 and Dante’s Inferno came out for both the PS3 and 360 and the numbers are in. I bet most of you are saying “Jake, who cares about game sales numbers? I own all the systems and play the games that are best for each platform.” Well you are a great person, I think more people need to be like you and in being more like you they will be more like me, which is fantastic. I know that game sales numbers are really only for fanboys to jerk off too but I think there is some interesting things happening out there in the gaming world and you should be informed. Don’t fall asleep on the job here people.
Alright, anyway, lets start with Bioshock 2, a first person shooter that had it’s predecessor come out exclusively for the 360, then about a year later saw a release on the PS3. I think it’s pretty logical how the sales for this game look, the 360 version has sold more then double the copies of the PS3 version, and why wouldn’t it? It is a game that we loved here in the US (where the 360 has almost double the consoles sold compared to the PS3), it is a first person shooter, and it had a long exclusive run on the 360. Almost all first person shooters do better on the 360, I don’t have the info in front of me but I would be willing to guess that a 360 FPS sells more then it’s PS3 version almost every time. So no big surprise there, but the Dante’s Inferno sales are a little more interesting.
So assuming that there are a little under 2x as many 360s as opposed to PS3s in the US you would think Dante’s Inferno would have a similar ratio of sales, but that is not the case. We have seen a trend recently of games that are not FPS’s selling very comparable on both consoles, not only that but in the case of games that have some sort of exclusive content (Batman Arkum Asylum anyone?) they are selling better on the PS3. Dante’s Inferno has some sort of exclusive content on the PS3, I don’t know what it is because I don’t really care about the game, but I can assure you there is something. I’m guessing a scythe, no that’s too easy… a big claw weapon. I bet people are clamoring over this big claw weapon as we speak, “Oh what do you think of the big claw?” they will say, “I got the 360 version, I didn’t get the big claw” their friend will reply, then everyone will laugh at them. Kids can be cruel. So back to the numbers, Dante’s Inferno is selling better on the PS3. That’s right, BETTER. Now I need to point out that I don’t really care which version sells better, I don’t own any stock in either company, but I think Sony is starting to compete with the 360 due to its price drop and exclusive content and that is something gamers need to realize. The PS3 is selling video games now, and some of them are better.
How long will this trend last? Is Sony finally taking some business from Microsoft? What’s up with the stuff? These are all great questions that I can’t answer but I hope I have given you something to think about and for you 360 fanboys, maybe it is time to buy a PS3. Oh, and for you PS3 fanboys, calm down.

ps – haters wanna hate, get your shine on, I’m Gutta Gutta. Good night.
