Wonderpod is finally winding to the end of the road. Three hundred episodes and thousands of memories. We cover many of those moments and made one or two new ones. To each and every person who reads this post now or in the future. We want to thank all of you very much for listening […]
Time for the second to last Wonderpod. A two man show recorded on a Friday night. On this of all days, it was a perfect end to the week. We wander all over the place this week. For the last show we will be live on Twitch. We will give you more details this weekend. […]
Wonderpod is winding down. Jon is back this week. We got some great topics for you guys. On one or two, we come at them from a new angle. Important note we will be recording on Friday of next week. Enjoy the show and have a great weekend!
Wonderpod is like a train. Right on schedule and mowing down cows. This week was a different type of show. We had two first time guests and one guest appearing for the third time. If that isn’t confusing enough they are all from Wales. If your still confused, you need to listen to some of […]
Get ready for a new Wonderpod. This week we talk a lot about FPS gaming. Kind of digging these episodes. Where one topic branches in to multiple discussions. we did delve into a few other things I suppose. Still all revolving around the FPS genre. It will make more sense when you listen. Give me […]

In my Under the Scope series, I take a look at a specific item, commonly used character, or whatever and expound upon it in ways we as gamers may not have previously thought about. Sometimes it’s just something that’s been bothering me and other times it might be something of an epiphany that I want to share. Yet even other times I just have no idea what to write about and something comes to me, so shoosh.

May 22nd, 2012 Bruce McGee I have been far to lazy to write lately. So why not give you a short video of Diablo III instead. This video covers the first four or five minutes of the game. You start your journey in Tristram which should be familiar to anyone who played the previous games. For those of you who haven’t gotten into the series this is what the game looks like. You will notice some items and gold in my stash that seem strange for a brand new character. I have a much higher level demon hunter character also. It appears you share gold and stash items with all your characters. If there is enough interest I will shot a video later this week with my mid level character.

General Overview
So in one episode, you have to repair a car…and to do so, you need a fanbelt. You have to get a fat hooker to be at least moderately attractive (by having her drink mouthwash), and then while she’s getting fucked by some bloke in a back alley, you take her garter belt and supplement it as a fanbelt. I’m not even going to bother explaining how to get the car battery working again, but suffice to say, if you’re easily offended, then fuck off because this game’s clearly not for you.

May 18th, 2012 G Alright it’s Smackdown time, folks! I didn’t have to work the day shift today, and not because of flat tires or any crap like that. Just had it off, whether I like it or not. So let’s see what happened on the Blue Brand whose ratings are actually getting much more on par to those of the Red one. I mean, it’s not like this episode can be as terrible as Monday Night RAW was… can it?
Did I just jinx it? Damn it!
I watch, write, suffer, and succumb to this show, yet have to remind myself of what happened only minutes after each episode. That is how G’s Smackdown reviews work. This is not a play-by-play recap, there’s enough of those online. This is a highly-opinionated take of the show in question.

May 18th, 2012 pintnoir Roode comes out. The cocky heel is eladed that in one week he will be the longest reigning TNA World Champion in the history of the company. He wants to throw a bash. So he calls out Hogan and gives him his list of demands
Roode comes out. The cocky heel is eladed that in one week he will be the longest reigning TNA World Champion in the history of the company. He wants to throw a bash. So he calls out Hogan and gives him his list of demands
What got me was Canadian confetti, where champions are made. I couldn’t stop laughing. Hogan playing the face GM tears up his demands and tells him that he will defend the title on Open Fight Night. So Hogan sets up some matches for tonight, Bully Ray vs RVD, Jeff Hardy vs Mr. Anderson, Samoa Joe vs Angle and a Battle Royal. After all that Hogan will pick the challenger for next week.
That is a whole lot of matches for just one contender but Hogan is the face GM and impartial.
First up is Bully Ray vs RVD which should make everyone nostalgic for ECW but that would be the wrong company. Bully Ray takes on Van Dam’s injured parts and pulls out a victory. I have a feeling one day that they will put the belt on Bully Ray and I would be fine with that.
King Mo is coming to TNA and I’m late on that but yeah I saw the video and thought okay I could see that once he’s done healing his knee. Then I went online and saw that Brooke Hogan would be in charge of the knockouts in a backstage compacity? Because she has been involved in the business for ever like Garett so automatically she is given a job that would put her on TV more which since her dad has been on TNA she has made numerous blink and miss em appearances. But now she is directing the knockouts?! Where is Dutch (Mantel) when you need him.
End rant. The mystery of who is Madison’s suitor is now on the mind of creative. She bails on Gail as she follows the scent of love. Then the Hooter’s girl and the would be porn star (had she not tried wrestling) Ms Tessmacher (former) and Velvet Sky (latter) confront Mrs (Recently got married and can’t remember the guys name) Gail and tell her she will be losing the title tonight. Yeah she should be so shaking in her boots.
Then we have the Battle Royal, Austin Aries, AJ Styles, Gunner, Crimson, Eric Young, Garett Bishoff, Devon, Magnus, The Two Robbies and ODB?! Make their way to the ring in what must surely be a farce. Crimson goes out with EY and ODB who clothesline him so hard that all THREE go out! So now Crimson is feuding with EY and ODB, Rob E takes out his partner Rob T before being thrown out by Devon who is soon taken out by Garett who he in turn is taken out by AJ. AJ, Gunner and Aries are left. Gunner throws out Aries but is taken out by AJ with a Samoan Drop. AJ wins as Madison during the course of the match is making Googley eyes at someone in the match. Money’s on Crimson. Because then it can be a mixxed tag team feud for the KO tag belts no one wants. YEAH! everyone’s a winner.
AJ secret tryst with Dixie is furthered along when Daniels brings out some video of her and Styles going to a Hotel/Motel. I love heel Daniels and his “Bob Van Dam” name calling.
Oh and Jeff Hardy beat Anderson. Highlights from past TNA PPV play Lockdown 2008, Genesis 2006 and so on.
Gail beats Velvet and Tessmacher after Velvet hit “In your face” on Tessmacher but Kim stole the pin.
Joe vs Angle, a good match but not up to par with Genesis 2006 Angle wins.
Roode comes out to close the show while all the winners come out like lions circling a Gazelle.
Next Week Open Fight Night, and a special announcement.
Spoiler: iMPACT WRESTLING goes live on throughout the summer.

Hello everyone! I know talking about a sitcom may not be the norm for a mostly gaming website, but I would just like to let you guys know about an awesome show called Community.
May 18th, 2012 Bruce McGee We got a brand new Wonderpod for you fine folks. We tackled some tougher subjects this week. I am aware not everyone loves it when we do that. Still I think we did a good job taking serious topics and making them into a fun debate. You’ll have to let us know how well we did. (wink, wink say no more)

General Overview
Join the magical adventures of Loonie, Arg, Reefer, and Dingus as they travel the land in their retarded quest to consistently annoy oldschool RPGers. What’s that? That’s not their actual names? It doesn’t fucking matter; this game is awful.

I was lucky enough to be invited to the Welsh premiere of new Indonesian action flick ‘The Raid’ last night. For those who didn’t know, Wales is that pointy out bit to the West of the United Kingdom. I know what you’re thinking, ‘Why is an Indonesian film having a premiere in Wales?’ Well i’ll tell you; the director is a Welshman (Gareth Evans). Simple as that.
Set in the slums of Jakarta the film’s main focus and setting is an impenetrable 30 floor apartment block, a safe house that is home to some of the city’s most hardened criminals.
A SWAT team is tasked with taking down the notorious drug baron who runs the safe house and it falls to the rookie member of the team Rama, played by Iko Uwais, to complete the mission.
I know Wonderpod is mostly a gaming site, but watching this film, I was reminded by lots of elements from many of my favourite games.There is non-stop violence in this film, pulled off with the most imaginary ways possible. Bad guys dying in all sorts of ways, whether it being by emptying the contents of a machine gun into places they didn’t know they had, by hammer, or by expertise martial art sequences, that made me feel like a ten year old kid again after watching a Jackie Chan film, and very tempted to head into my room, take my shirt off, and kicking the living arse out of imaginary ninjas.
If you are a gaming fan, and I suspect you are, then this film is well worth checking out. It’s one of the best games i’ve never played.
Out in cinemas in the UK from Friday 18th May. Check your local listings from when it’s near you!
