Friends Hating Friends

Holy Hell! We are back! What are the odds? Apparently more than zero which is more than I would have guessed. So after a year off, we’ve decided it was time to throw our hats back into the ring. A few things have changed. New website! Nice huh? We added some structure to the show. We still cover the same sort of things, but now it has been formalized. Sweet! We’re on Skype now because Pat moved to Las Vegas. It actually makes my job easier mixing the the show, but the quality isn’t as good but still pretty good. That echo problem we had before should be gone though, so that’s awesome.

What’s on this episode? Well, we have reviews of the Red Panda podcast, Ocean’s Thirteen, and Cute with Chris. We have some cool links and news. We discuss our idea for a really cool RPG. ALL THIS INSIDE FOR FREE NOW! GET IT! For links, check the website. Problems or questions, email me at ryan at friendshatingfriends.net.

Hey everyone, short episode this week. Pat was not able to make it, so the rest of us forged on without him. We didn’t do our versus brackets this week as to not leave Pat out, so we just talked about Jason’s New House! Congrats Jason! Adam and I (Ryan) will be moving in there with him so we discuss all the cool, geeky thing we’re going to do with it. We also have some cool links in there, too. I haven’t had time to put them together yet but they will be at http://del.icio.us/fhf/ep13/ when I am done.

You know, I am really liking this free-form show notes. Down with the Tyrannical rule of the Bullet Points! Today we debate who is cooler: Yoda versus Vader, Cowboy Bebop versus Trigun, Snake Pliskin versus Solid Snake, and Indiana Jones versus Han Solo. If that ain’t nerdy enough for you, we then talk a whole bunch about superheroes! AWESOME! Listen you fool! And we have cool links at http://del.icio.us/fhf/ep12.

This right here… this is a good episode. Ever wonder who would win in a fight between Popeye and The Incredible Hulk? We have the answer. Ever wanted to know where geek culture got its start? Scooped that story too. There is so much great stuff in the this episode I am not going to trivialize it by summing it with a simple bullet list. It has to be heard to be believed and experienced to be understood. Proof is just over an hour away or your money back.

This is it. Most podcasts fail by episode 10 and we are still on the air. Not that we are successful… but we haven’t failed! This was supposed to be a drunk episode, but Pat doesn’t drink and Jason had work after the podcast, so we’re saving that episode for when the majority can be inebriated. This show also starts our Versus tournament. It’s like any other, but instead of teams, it’s random geek topics. Should be fun. Here’s what we discussed:

Punisher V Batman
Microsoft V Sony
F— V A–
Super Mario V Legend of Zelda
Favorite Geek Movies
Online Dating
Nerdgasms

This episode is brought to you by The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. It is the best RPG out there on the market and if you have a 360 or a good PC, you need to go buy it. This was a really good episode. We are definitely getting better at this. Smooth levels, no echo, and raucus fun. We custom made it just for you. At the end of the show is a little promo if you want to use it. Just get ahold of us if you want the file. Here’s what we covered:

• Cool Geek Links

Good news! We had stuff to talk about and the episode went well. Things are sound pretty good. There is a little echo for Pat here and there. It’s probably his on coming omniscience or he was too close to someone else’s mic. Doing the minutes of the show is kind of getting on my nerves, so I’ll just give you the quick summary here. To start off, an apology for episode 7. We have a whole bunch of cool links and news. Check them out at http://del.icio.us/fhf/ep8/. Followed that up with what games we are excited about coming out and in the middle of that we have an aside about J-Pop. While reveling in delay of the PS3, we have a long discussion about Blu-Ray. Do like versus debates? Well, how about Ewoks vs. Gungans? No? Whatever. As always, we finish up with nerdgasms. Any feedback? Well, hit our forums or send mail to feedback@friendshatingfriends.com.

Wow, we’re sorry. You see, we just didn’t have any great ideas for this episode. Maybe it’s a sign of things to come or just a temporary podcaster’s block. To make problems worse, we had some equipment problems. That didn’t effect the audio quality of most of the show, but some parts did have to get cut out. So, after rambling on for about 2 hours and cutting out the boring and poor audio parts, we’re left with 47 minutes of hopefully somewhat entertaining material. No links or time breakdown this time. Enjoy!

We are half way to the big 10 episode hurdle. Most podcast fail by episode 10. Will we? Probably not, we have nothing better to do. Will we be successful? That’s all up to you (probably not). A warning: this episode is a little more foul than the usuals. Our technical problems are almost gone. Adam is a little loud. I’m getting much better at producing this thing. Now we just have to work on the entertaining part. Oh, and we haven’t taken pictures yet. I got sick. If you like the show, drop us like at feedback@friendshatingfriends.com or join our forums.
