Hello and welcome to episode 48 of the Player One podcast for September 24th, 2007.

I'm your host, Greg Stewart, and with me as always is my co-host and lover of all things blue and reptilian, Chris Johnston.

That's very true, at least up until this week when I'll start loving armor-clad Spartans.

I bet you will.

Wait, that came out wrong. That sounds steamy hot. Back for another week, even though we're not sure how we got our number, is Dan Dormer. It's 8675309, right? There you go. That's nice. Are you even alive when that song was a hit? No, I'm just, you know, making you feel young.

You're just trying to relate. You're just trying to relate to us, aren't you? Yeah, yeah, that's it. Yeah, good job. Yeah. And for those of you in a betting mind, today is the last day for Dan 360 Deadpool. So if it doesn't go today, I don't think anyone's going to win that because, yeah, Halo later today.

MIA this week is young Phil Theobald.

He's apparently at some sort of mating ceremony in Northern California and couldn't be bothered to pick up a damn phone.

So we're fillless.

Yeah, we are fillless.

We're empty, not full of Phil. I don't know what I was going to do. Yeah. Wow. You are tired. Dude, you were talking about hot man sex with Armored Spartans. Yeah, well, that's true. What do you want? That's true. Damn. So let's move right into what you've been playing, and we're going to start with Dan because he's the youngest.

All right.

Well, this week I started playing EA's skate, EA Black Box production.

And what I thought was really weird is, you know, unlike just going in the game and saying, hey, I'm going to, you know, create my skater.

They actually kind of give you a backstory is they start showing showing this video and it's uh it's live action

and you're going through and you're skating and your guy actually gets hit by a bus

and then and then you get carded you get carted to the uh the hospital and they have this kind of video

montage and it's all the the skaters are there

that are in the game are all playing characters you know the guys who are driving the ambulance

or some skaters they have a homeless bum and the ambulance is driving through you know the city

it's going through um you know there's just cafe it's going through, you know, there's just cafe, it drives

through the tables and everything.
