One of Swords Podcast 050: Sneeze Your Freckles

by Dan on January 6, 2011

Love — the international language. Music counts as one too. Naturally, the DJ Hero production team has found a way to combine them, by answering your questions about romance, relationships, and randiness. They also field a few Qs about Kinect, forthcoming DLC, and two-turntable Achievements. That special discussion takes up most of our 50th show, so Kat and I only sneak in a few comments about light-up keyboards, Kat’s first game of Black Ops, mini chandeliers, the trials of Headshotmas 2010, and the coolest Wikipedia page ever (depending on who you are). Better still, something happens late in the show that has never happened before and will likely never happen again…how’s that for a 50th milestone?

      Fun show, Dan. I’ll keep an eye out for The Game of Things. Our friends are burnt out on party games like Cranium and Hoopla, so it’d be nice to try something new.

      Fun and amazing show, Dan. It was definitely worth the wait to hear from the DJ Hero 2 crew on the show. Since you guys were talking about celebrity hook-ups, I would like to take the opportunity to profess my love for mine.

      1.) Lizzie Cuevas of GamesRadar US
      2.) Christina Lee of PSN Pulse
      3.) Jessica Chobot of IGN US

      *in that particular order, but preferably all three at once. :-D

      Thanks for this weeks show, Dan. Keep up the amazing work! Hello to Kat as well.

      P.S. Congrats on the Wiki page. You totally deserve one for sure! :-)

      No one ever says this and I don’t know why, but Steve Buscemi. He would be a gentle lover, kind and warm and afterwards I’d stuff him into a wood chipper. Huh. That… That got weird didn’t it? Okay, so I’m joking (About the wood chipper) obviously, but the only serious celebrity lover that I can think of would be the girl who played Ramona in Scott Pilgrim. She’d have to keep the blue hair and awesome goggles though. …And Steve Buscemi. Ghost World man! HE IS HAWT! Oh! Nick Cage too, but only if hes absolutely bat-shit in bed. I… I have some homo-erotic issues to work out… And my choice in male fantasies are terrible. I’m going to go cry now…

      These lists are far more disturbing when some of the people you list are friends of mine.

      It’s okay. I have a man-crush on Dave Grohl.

      If you search: Fight for Your Life Activision, on Google, Jurassic the Hunted pops up a lot. It was in a press-release so I’m guessing everyone thought that it was also on the back of the box.

      Sorry, Dan. I just can’t help where my heart lies. With these most beautiful women I have ever laid gazing eyes on. I swear they’ll have me suicidal if they turn me down. I wanna marry them! All of them at the same time too. I think I can handle ‘em. *LOL*

      P.S. I know you have a thing for red head girls. How to you feel about Kari Byron from Mythbusters? ;-)

      My God… She is a total fox!!! :-D

      That’s a contest-losing assumption in this case. Geez — the segment is called “Back of the Box Marketing Copy Hero.” I quite honestly could not have been more specific about my expectations!
