We’re a little late this time around.  Sorry about that.  One of us was sick on our normal recording day so we had to record on Sunday this week and just could not get the show out in time for our normal Monday release.  But all is well now and we’ll be back on schedule next week.  Thanks for understanding.

First… a little more about INDISFEST!  More info for you guys.

Distractions. All 3 members are playing an XBLA game… what could it be.

Our Good Old Distraction segment makes it’s second appearance… this month’s review… Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee, courtesy of Good Old Games (http://gog.com)

A short news segment, though there’s a little passion behind a few of the stories.

After the break… one of our favorite topics… Fighting games… there’s a lot of them in 2009, is this a resurgence or a fad?

New releases…  RPT learns us some stuff.  Chris fills in the gaps.  But the pick of the week… well… it’s unanimous this week.

Listener email, another drawing for Oddworld, and a new QotW a fad?

InDis is here… even if it is a day late.

 InDis - Ep 083 - An Odd(world) year for fighters [133:33m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (911)

Good Monday people.  We have a new episode for you.  Go figure.

First… INDISFEST!  More info for you guys.  This is shaping up to be EPIC!

Distractions. Jason and Chris beat inFamous … again. Geoff still hasn’t.  But Geoff and Chris talk about… wait… something new on the Wii?  WTF?

News, still not a lot that’s exciting. And we still can’t seem to get our shit figured out since last week… hmmm…

When we come back from the break… lots of talk about sequels.  How long is long enough before a sequel comes out.

New releases…  RPT returns! Not a whole lot to look forward to this week though… a couple of good games.

Listener email. We love the emails that you guys send us.  Awesome stuff.

Another drawing for Oddworld. Another familiar face as the winner?

Hey… is this return of the QotW a fad?

Guess what… it’s InDis!

 InDis - Ep 082 - Quest for the Sequel [133:41m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (1182)

Well E3 is now behind us.  Sadness.  But that doesn’t mean we’re going to stop talking about games… ever.

First up… Distractions. Jason and Chris beat inFamous and started new games right after… wow.  Geoff got his hands on Prototype, he gives us a little rundown of what he thinks and talks about the comparison of the two games.

News is back.  Not much this week though.  We actually had to stretch a little bit since everything happened last week.

After the break… Motion Controllers.  Sony and MS announced theirs at E3.  Is it too late?  Are they good ideas?  We will see.

New releases with more RPT! In reality, does anyone care about anything but Ghostbusters next week?

Listener email is next.  Got some interesting questions from listeners this week.

Another drawing for Oddworld.  Man I love this game

Is it too soon for a new question of the week?  I don’t think so, you get that last.

All and all… it’s… well… another episode.  What did you expect.

 InDis - Ep 081 - Motion Fest [114:58m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (1062)

Wow… ok so we Double feature it this week and the show was looooooooooooooooooooooooooo *breaths* ooooooooooong.  But hopefully you will find as entertaining to listen to as we did to record. 

Distractions to start.  Quite possibly the shortest distraction segment EVAR.  Spoiler Alert.  “Chris, what’s distracting you”  “Just InFamous… let’s move on.”

We turn news into the E3 conversation.  We focus mostly on the Big 3’s press conferences and throw in a few other things… of course we save the biggest thing for last. 

After the break… we come back and talk all about inFAMOUS.  We talk about it too death and what makes it worse is none of us have even beaten the game yet!  Man… we may need to talk about this game again.  inFAMOUS special episode coming soon?  Who knows?

New releases including a RPT voicemail talking about some of them.

Lots of listener email… including Jason getting called out for some things he said last week. (entertaining… I promise)

We draw our first winner for Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee.

End off with a new (and possibly predictable) question of the week and you have the longest episode of InDis (that wasn’t live) evar!

Enjoy.

 InDis - Ep 080 - The inFamous E3 [161:07m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (1197)

Not sure how this one got out in time. We just recorded it yesterday! And we were all pretty sick so bear with us will ya. But after staying up until 12:30 editing, then finishing up the show at 6 this morning… it is here!

Distractions to start. Some new stuff rolled in. Punchout talk. InFamous talk. Good stuff.

Our very first Good Old Distraction is to follow. The month of May brings us Beyond Good and Evil. And how wonderful it was.

Short news segment to follow, but some big news in it.

After the break… Super Hero games. Our favorites, the ones we’re looking forward to and what we like about them. Lots of listener input on this topic. Thanks guys!

New Releases to follow. Then some listener email.

End off with a totally predictable, highly anticipated, overhyped Question of the Week.

There you have it… Episode 79.
