GamerDork UK 06: Digital Dork combo platter
Written by Neil "xibxang" Brooks on July 21, 2009 – 02:14
We’re joined by Alex and Tony of The Digital Cowboys to discuss a couple of topics. First off it’s about cloud gaming: is it what we want? Do we have a choice? Then it’s on to talk about UFC’s Dana white “being at war with EA”, Modern Warfare 2 being listed at £54.99 and what IS it with those night vision goggles?
Finally, if your day job was to be made into a game, would you play it? We also announce our competition winner who gets no less than 7 games for their efforts.

xib was up veeeeery late last night editing, and I think he’s done a great job. However, my promised reading of Pacroid’s winning entry is currently not after the end theme as advertised. Apologies for that. I’ve mailed him (he’ll still be fast akip atm) to see if I can get him to Sellotape it on after. If not perhaps it’ll appear on #6.5 this midweek. Sorry Pacroid!
[...] week Tony and I are on the GamerDork Podcast. This is a great show with strong ties to the Rllmuk forums, presented by wily, [...]
Yaaayy, I never win anything! And you have to do the voice in a Newfoundlander accent, known has Newfinesse, (New-fin-eezze). It a cross between Irish and Scots. “Th” pronounced like “D’s” and string all your words together so they all sound like one word.
If-a-sa a good marnin de marnin as-idwuz mar marnin, it’ll be a good marnin tamar-marnin.
Translation
IF its a good morning this morning has it was yesterday, it will be a good morning tomorrow morning as well.
As per the conversation about the UFC and MMA, does having the fighters in the game matter? If the gameplay is good?
I have to say that I am one of those guys who , “Yes” I prefer the characters over the gameplay. I know it sounds bad, but I prefer to play with characters that I know, then some tom, dick or harry that I don’t.
Also, if you could post your email, that be great. My Newfoundlander ears can’t pick up the email addresses.
Thanks. I send more info with the email.
Great show.
Aw, I wish I had had your instructions before I did the reading. Maybe I’ll give it another go but I’m not promising anything. In fact, maybe it would be better if xib had a go given that he’s some of the way there already. I’m cursed with this nondescript South-of-England, semi working class/semi middle class hybrid rubbish.
Hi guys, as a Digital Cowboys listener I’ve only become aware of your podcast and site as of this weeks cross-over episode (All very CSI!) however given the quality feel of this show, and the fact I’m a 30-something gamer too, I’ll be getting you on my playlist and even giving you the special ‘priority ordering’ setting reserved only for the few ;) Welcome to the innards of my BlackBerry!
Hello and welcome, countstex. I feel all warm and cosy inside your BlackBerry.
Hey there, Countstex. Thanks for dropping by to say hello. Come join our forum. We’re all real friendly and we’re even trying to organise a gaming night for this coming Friday.
Same goes for you Pacroid. :)
