Lot of UAVheads scratching their heads out there saying MURRAY! I didn't think you'd get an episode out so fast!



Well, that's where you're wrong.

This isn't a new episode.

This is my Bullhorn Moment.

Has anyone provided a stunning analysis of Video Games and their relation to 9/11? Has anyone else found the direct connection between Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Bin Laden and the Nintendo Entertainment System?

Buckle your seatbelts UAVheads, this episode is going to land me on Fox News and CNN!!! See you again next week!!!



Your Friend,

Murray

Gears of War 2 will be a disappointment. I said it. Now listen closely, UAVheads. Do you hear that? Do you?

"Murray! I don't hear anything!" Exactly. This is the calm before the storm. Soon Gears of War 2 apologists will descend on us like the Locust themselves, and I'm going to have to hope we all have more tricks up our sleeves than slightly improved graphics and gameplay gimmicks!

Hopefully everyone will respect that I place GOW2 in the context of the 10 most disappointing game sequels of all time and explain what I mean in great detail. I'm not just trying to rile feathers here people!

Also discussed in this episode: Movies, Media, Politics and my life. Hey! That's a first - LOL!!!!







In this week's episode, we discuss Mega Man 9 in the context of the 1980s which spawned the series, I disclose a growing threat to our beloved podcast and teach you how to make Murray's UAV Soup - a genuinely great recipe that will keep you warm and cozy as the weather turns frigid! This is a great episode, friends! I think you'll forgive me the late fees for the two days overdue LOL!

Hello there, hope you are all having a wonderful day. Mine's been awful.

If you get a chance and you enjoy the podcast, please consider taking a moment to write a review on iTunes. I'm hoping to get the podcast to the featured section. It's been hard for uninitiated UAVheads to discover it otherwise:(

I will be your best friend! though if you're reading this, you probably already are, by default:(

This week's episode is a huge, double-stuffed discussion of everything and nothing all at once. We tackle the week's TV, comedy and political news. We discuss Fallout 3 within the context of our cultural ideas about the apocalypse. And god dang it I fall in love and I don't care who knows it! This is the week, dear UAVheads, where this sh*t is truly going to go global. Buckle your seatbelts.

P.S. YES I know I babble a little bit too much!!!

P.P.S I wish I could tell you how good it feels to be in love.

I am not a popular man.

It's taken me years to be able to admit that. In high school, I was convinced that I was really cool, but I just wasn't able to shake off that bad first impression that I made in first grade. In college, I truly believed that the frat boys gave me wedgies because they were jealous of my solid 3.1 GPA. When I left college and entered the workforce, I was excited about the opportunity to have a fresh start where no one knew me (or my dorky baggage). But it occurred to me on my second day of work, as my co-worker Mike had me in a head-lock and was giving me a noogie, that perhaps I was advertising my uncoolness in some way.

After a lot of deep thinking about it, I think I may have identified one way in which I advertise my nerdishness. I have a truly unfortunate habit of making videogame jokes in all types of social situations, regardless of my audience. And by "jokes", I don't mean to imply any degree of wit. I mean "joke" in the sense that I make a videogame reference and am disappointed when the response is awkward silence rather than raucous laughter.

With that in mind, I thought I would share some unfortunate habits that I have that have contributed to my poor social standing:

1) If someone is eating something that looks tasty, I will block their way, saying "Grumble grumble" until they share with me.

2) I never refer to lesbians by their actual names - they are all "Samus" to me.

3) After my family started to get very suspicious about my sexual orientation, I was forced to create a fictional girlfriend named "Aeris". She works for 1-800-FLOWERS!

4) I will randomly quote lines from the game Silverload even though I have yet to meet someone other than me who has played it. "Did he jump .... or was he pushed?"

5) If I'm on a long line to use the bathroom, I will start rapping like Parappa: "In the rain or in the snow, I got the funky flow, but now: I really gotta go!"

6) At pet stores, I will always ask where they keep the Chocobos.

7) If I'm driving with people, and we witness a car accident, I will always remark, "Gee, I sure hope that guy hit Up-Up-Down-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right-B-A Start this morning!"

and

8) If you get me drunk at a party and hand me an extra-large pair of shorts, there is a very good chance you will see a King Hippo impression.

It does feel therapeutic to get these off my chest. And who knows? Maybe at my next job, I'll be able to reign myself in and end up being the cool guy in the office.

And then we'll see who's noogie-ing who!!!!!

...And we're back! In this episode we reveal exactly what you should expect from Our UAV is Online in the coming weeks - and that's a bruising, no-holds-barred battle for the presidency - of the fall video game lineup lol!


As you can see, new episodes now release every thursday. If anyone has any connections at Bethesda, Midway, Epic et al, please tell them they'll make me the happiest little girl on earth if they'll just respond to my respectfully worded desperate pleas for interviews.


This episode ends with a poem, but don't worry - I played 3 minutes of COD4 earlier so I was already called a "fag" 300 times today!

P.S. RESPOND TO THE CHALLENGE IN THE COMMENTS SECTION! I can take whatever you dish out!

So I'm finally back from the wedding! Full report on that in Episode 5, which will be posted on Friday morning.

For now UAVheads, tide yourselves over with our first review. I warn you it's a good one:)

Category:general -- posted at: 4:35 PM



They said it wasn't possible - a podcast episode with live calls from loyal UAVheads (and a couple of KNUCKLEheads). But I think you'll agree - episode 4 is our best episode yet! This episode clocks in at a WHOPPING 50 minutes so it would be the perfect thing for your commute or workout.

If you find yourself getting bored, please note that there's a great song at the end - that you haven't heard anywhere else! It's true folks - we have brand new world premiere tuneage from the temp I'm worried might be in love with me.

Now I know what you're thinking: "Sounds great, Murray! But I've seen The Crying Game, I know there's always a catch!" Sadly, there is a catch. I will be traveling to lovely Tom's River New Jersey tomorrow for a wedding (they asked me "do you want the beef tenderloin or the salmon". I wrote back "just give me the gun with the one bullet garnish."). I will likely be out of contact for NEARLY A WEEK! In the meantime, I'm assured that Joystiq will be reviewing this podcast tomorrow! Try not to give all the n00bs trouble in the boards;)

Excelsior!

By Mike "The Hot Snake"

Wow! What a week it’s been! As you are all aware, I am fresh off of what has already been dubbed the “single greatest Our UAV is Online performance to date”; as well as one the most devious and ingenious pranks since Orson Welles’ “War of the Worlds” hoax (even if Murray can’t figure out how to work his recorder to hear my jubilant reaction for yourselves). I still can’t express the shock, and gratitude, I experienced when I opened my inbox the next day and found it filled with 76 new messages. Sure, most of them were from Murray and Dan but that’s not the point. The point is that my minutes of preparation have paid off and my career as a video game journalist has finally begun.

I remember rushing into work on Monday eager to inform Dan and Murray just what a powerful response I received from my new found audience. When I told Murray he feigned happiness; but was still clearly a little annoyed at me pulling the wool over his eyes. (Don’t worry Murray I’ll make it up to you, I’m in final negotiations to have Super Mario himself call in for next week’s show.) Still behind his veneer of annoyance and latent homosexuality, there was a sense of pride that he had been responsible for discovering a talent like me. After stopping by Murray’s secretary to secure plans for next weekend, I visited Dan. As usual Dan was sullen and angry at the world. He was indifferent to the tale of my rising stardom and instead focused on his own failed interview. Before I left, I reminded him that it was not like it was my idea that he should have nothing of interest to say on the air. For some reason, this didn’t see to make Dan feel any better. On a side note, I later heard Dan in the employee bathroom sobbing and screaming the name “Michelle”. I’m not sure what that was all about.

To all my fans, and you seem to growing by the day, I appreciate your continued love and support. I’ve been reading the message boards and it seems like some of you ladies would like to meet up. If you are interested please post a picture of yourself and leave your phone number. I’ll then check my book and see if I have time between Murray’s secretary, last semester’s intern, this semester’s intern, and the Xerox lady. Please continue posting, but I’d appreciate it if you try to keep the flaming of Murray and Dan down a little bit. They have very fragile egos, and besides they don’t get action as often as I do. Until next time, keep it s-s-s-sizzling!

(I’ll leave you with a tantalizing pic of Murray’s wife with face removed)

I REMOVED THE PHOTO - Murray

Tomorrow (Monday) night at 9pm EST 6pm PST, I'll be taking calls from you, loyal listeners! The phone number to call will appear for a limited time at 9pm. It will be erased when no more calls will be taken.

"But I'm just a UAVhead, how can I contribute"? Well, the first thing you say should be a "Videogame Conversation Starter". Like "who's the most republican game character in history?" (hint: he loves burgers) or some real attention grabber! Start planning your convo starter now! Just have fun with it, and let's chat!

By Dan R.

I have to confess: I've been a little depressed these last few days. You see, a few days ago I was tricked by my friend Mike into calling Murray, while Murray was in the midst of recording his podcast. Through an elaborate scheme that is too complicated to describe in full here, I was suddenly "on the air", having to fill in as an interview-replacement for a famous videogame designer. I did my best, but obviously, I was not very prepared. To make matters worse, Murray followed my interview on the podcast by interviewing Mike, who apparently spent the past six months conducting research in preparation for that interview. In short, I was outshone and humiliated by Mike. And believe me, even if I didn't realize this myself, Mike was more than willing to point it out to me (and anyone else that would listen to him) all week at the office.

After stewing about this dilemma for a few days, I realized my best course of action would be to submit an article to Murray's site. There are two reasons for this decision: First, I am much more charming in print than I am in person. This is reflected in the fact that I manage, through my eloquent e-mailing and IMing skills, to go on an average of three match.com dates per week. Of course, this doesn't help me on the dates themselves - my dates tend to be instantly disappointed and occasionally threaten me with a fraud lawsuit.

The second reason for submitting an article is that after listening to my interview in the podcast, I realized that I might have come off a l'il bit creepy in discussing my dating habits in the latest Grand Theft Auto game. I figure that writing an article will give to a chance to explain what I was TRYING to say, in my own inarticulate manner. I was simply attempting to convey that I was really enjoying the fact that the new game gives players (like me!) the option of putting the guns away for a while to take a beautiful lady out on the town for a nice romantic evening.

Which brings me to Michelle. In GTA IV, I was introduced to Michelle early on, and I fell in love instantly. Not so much because of her looks or personality - both are somewhat lacking. And it really bugged me that she doesn't move her arms when she walked. In fact, her body language when we went out on these dates generally gave the impression that she was waiting for the inevitable sexual assault. Kind of a turn off.

What I did love was just the fact that I could go out on dates (albeit virtual dates) without leaving my apartment (or, for that matter, putting on pants). I didn't know what to expect for my first date with Michelle, but leading up to it, my heart was fluttering with nervousness of a sort that I haven't experienced since high school.

When I first picked up Michelle for our first date, she instantly complimented me on my clothes and my car. I felt like a Romeo! I took her bowling, but I soon began to worry: Should I let her beat me? Will she be more impressed if I mop the floor with her? The issue ended up being moot, as it turned out that I am terrible bowler in the GTA world. I hoped Michelle would find my inability to avoid gutterballs endearing, but she seemed indifferent to the whole thing. Like I said: Not much of a personality.

After I took her home, I was presented with an option: "Press O to say goodnight, Press X to try your luck". I was shocked! I wrestled with the decision for a while, but still didn't know what to do. I hit pause, and went outside for a walk, mumbling to myself like Golem. 'It's a first date, you can't make a move yet!' But then I countered: 'If you don't take this chance now, you'll never know what could've happened!'

I went back to my basement apartment, palms slick with sweat. I hit unpause, took a deep breath ..... and hit X. Michelle instantly rejected me, saying something about it only being a first date. I was too devastated to hear exactly what she said. But she did leave the door open to going out again.

The second she left my car, I called her on my cellphone. She seemed confused. "We just went out! We can't go out again so soon!" I told her I understood and would call her some other time. I drove away, but after traveling a block, I couldn't help myself and called again. She still was not interested in going out so soon. I didn't know what to do! I went back to my virtual home, and paced around for a while. Suddently I had a brain-storm: "If I save the game, time will advance six hours. Maybe she'll want to go out then!" I saved the game and instantly called her. She still didn't want to go out so soon!

The next fifteen minutes were amongst the saddest of my life (and by 'saddest', I mean pathetic). I saved the game five consecutive times in a row, trying to call Michelle after each save. At one point, I embarrassed myself by calling her at 3:30 a.m., waking her up (Fortunately, my character in the game did a nice job of covering up this faux pas, explaining that he keeps strange hours and easily loses track of the time). After the fifth save, I finally convinced Michelle to go out with me again. I was ecstatic, and immediately went out to a store to get my character a new outfit to impress Michelle.

Long story short, Michelle and I went out a few more times. I learned from my previous mistake of trying to jump her bones too early, and built up her trust. After a while, I felt confident enough to hit that X button after I took her home .... and look out! My patience was well rewarded!

In short, I think every videogame should give players the option of going on dates throughout the game. Every game. I would be much more into the Madden series if I had the option of playing as Tony Romo, and skipping a game to go out with Jessica Simpson. And it always drove me nuts that in the original Super Mario Brothers, the game ended after you met up with the Princess. That's where the game should have started! I really hope that someday the videogame companies will come to accept that many male consumers have trouble with women in the real world, and are looking for the chance to capture at least a little bit of romance through videogames. Granted, it's not an ideal scenario ....

..... but beggars can't be choosers.

Great news for all you UAVheads out there! This Sunday marks the debut of the UAV Sunday Columnist Series. In our upcoming column, Dan sheds some light on his controversial interview and further explains some comments that have been...misconstrued (to say the least) by the bloggers out there.

Go Adam West, Young Man! Department



The most popular movie of the summer has already broken so many box office records. The night before it's opening, thousands of people lined up to be the first to see it. Comic book fanboys, movie buffs, costume wearers and other losers queued up hours before midnight in lines that spread around movie theatre corners, all in eager anticipation of a movie that they waited months to see. Warner Brothers, in fact, wanted to designate that night as a holiday. In other words, that entire evening was...




...THE DORK NIGHT


"I'm Batshitcrazyman. I've been fighting crime in Got-Ham Acting City for over a year now. I can never let the criminals know of my alter ego, Bruised Wane."
"Is that why you disguise your voice by using that ridiculous, gravelly tone?"
"No, I disguise my voice because if the viewing public heard my equally ridiculous Welsh accent, I'd never land a gig again!"


"I'm Acrid Penny-pinching-worth, Master Wane's butler. I help him with his everyday tasks as well as give him life advice. There have been whispers around town that our relationship may include extracurricular activities. That is complete nonsense! Now excuse me while I draw up another bath for Masturbator Wane... with me in it!"


"My name is Lewd-cious Fuckz. I fill multiple roles. I help Batshitcrazyman with his gadgets. I am also the CEO of Wane Enterprises. But perhaps the most important role I fill is the token black character."


"I'm Retch-chel Blahhhs, Bruised's sometimes love interest. My parents worked for Bruised's parents when we were younger. I am one of the few people who knows of Bruised's secret identity... as a loser who still pines for the hired help!"


"I'm Harvey Dense, the new DA, who later becomes the villain, Goo-Face. The way that the writers wrote my character really surprises me."
"Why? Because you are supposed to be the flipside of Batshitcrazyman, further blurring the line between right and wrong?"
"No, because people never know who their DA is, let alone give a shit about him or his integrity!"


"Commissioner Boredom! Commissioner Boredom! We just realized that you were also in Sid & Nancy, Dracula, JFK, The Professional and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. We didn't know that was you in all those roles!"
"Why? Because those roles used a lot of makeup & you couldn't recognize my face?"
"No, because after those Oscar-caliber performances, we didn't expect you to sacrifice your integrity and lose your status as a serious actor!"


"I can't believe we gotta share our haul with The Jokester!"
"Why do they call him the Jokester?"
"Because he's always telling jokes."
"What was his best joke?"
"That he wouldn't kill all of us after we finished the job. YEEEARRGH!"


Batshicrazyman: "Don't let me catch you clowns take the law into your own hands again!"
Phony Batshitcrazyman: "What gives you the right? How are you different from us?"
Batshitcrazyman: "Because the studio is gonna plaster me all over every type of merchandising possible... even hockey pads!"


Acrid: "Shall you be taking the Batshitcrazymobile, sir?"
Bruised: "In the middle of the day, Acrid? That's not very subtle."
Acrid: "Well sir, I would have suggested you take the 1997 Nissan Maxima, but I'm afraid Lewd-cious took that for a joyride in Mississippi."


Batshitcrazyman: "Well, I have conquered one foe, but I don't think I'll be able to catch the other one."
Commissioner Boredom: "You must be referring to the Jokester, who is in police custody, and Goo-Face, who probably escaped."
Batshitcrazyman: "No, I'm referring to Titanic!"

In this episode, I lose my innocence during the big interview, a man confesses to having a video game girlfriend and Mike From Work redeems himself by doing a great job on the first installment of Mike From Work's Round-Up. I think you UAVheads are really gonna love Mike - his reporting is so good, he makes Edward R. Murrow look like a decomposed corpse!

As many of you know, it's my greatest dream to work within the game industry! I just saw an ad on craigslist for a game tester - but I think I got in too late! Then I saw this ad:

READERS, you know how excited I was when I saw this. My consulting job barely requires me to come to burbank anymore, so I figured I could easily drop into the office and blog my brains out for these folks! Here's my response. I probably made it TOO crazy, but I wanted to show them what I was all about:

title: Before I read your ad I was like Luke Skywalker looking off at the two suns on the horizon...

...Feeling trapped in a harsh world, wondering what could be out there but not even having the nerve to ask. Well, as he found his way, so have I. But he decided to be a jedi knight like his father, I have decided to become a video game blogger unlike my hateful tax attorney dead dad.

The first question on your mind is undoubtedly: a. is he young and b. is he hip? Well, that's easy: 1. 42 is the new 20 and 2. does saul bellow shit in the woods? What I'm saying is, I'm qualified for your position and then some: I've been playing video games since the magnavox odyssey and I've been alive since homer wrote the odyssey! And I don't mean Simpson ("google" it) I know video games backwards and forwards and I know this culture (American) like the back of my shrill wife's dead body in my darkest, darkest dreams. If you want to refill your office with cool, I'm your hip replacement with a hip replacement lol;)

To quickly run through my qualifications: I've had every system since brick, as in "let's storm this bastille with this brick!". Which of course, in french is (note: consult babblefish and fill this in before sending). Mention my gamertag on xbox live (edscare) and you are bound to hear from fans who appreciate my gutbusters and kneeslappers! Consult my resume and you'll wonder why a guy who works a few days a month would want to take on a job available for 16 year olds! You'll wonder why a guy who went to the Harvard of Northern Delaware is doing applying for an $8 a job!

Well, I'll tell you. I just love video games. But blah blah blah. Yakety kak (do talk back!). I've wasted enough of your time, now let me waste some more! (FYI - "for your information" in the previous sentence I was politely implying that you do contact me for this position) Here's the best part: I'm already a legendary video game podcaster and blogger. After posting this newest podcast today, I've already got an offer to be hip and blog on this site: http://funvampires.com/! I've already got many other episodes recorded. Check it out, but make sure you're ticklish. RIB TICKLISH!

http://ouruavisonline.libsyn.com/

This video game podcast will be legendary within weeks! And I'd love to work for you too! Give it a listen - you won't be disappointed. Unless you're a Nazi.

Your friend (I hope),

Murray E. S.

P.S. Thanks for listening, and let me know if there's any additional information you require. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Your friend (fingers-crossed), Murray.

But the difference between him and me is I'm not wearin' hockey pads!!!

It's time for our first contest! There was recently a great thread on a messageboard I read. I won't reveal it's name here (elitism, secrecy, tradition!) but I will say that the thread title was "failed video games" and it contained gems such as "Single Dragon", "Tony Hawk's Uphill Jam", and "Rad Rapist". Someone reposted some images from mightygodking.com:








What I want out of you is a cover for my contribution: "Megamanson Family". Though I'm not sure you could get any funnier than the original cover:

P.S. Slate.com just said I'm like "Philip Roth with power gloves instead of self-hating jew hands"! Portnoy's Complaint is that Bioware didn't develop Knights of the Old Republic 2!

My friend Larry recently asked me: Could you please stop talking to me? But before that, he asked me: what xbox 360 game should I buy? Well, I went on and on about that one, and I'm gonna do the same thing to you lol;! In this episode, we break down the top 5 XBLA titles for you to buy with the fakest currency since "funny money" at a strip club. Not that I go to strip clubs! I mean I do, but only to see my sort-of girlfriend.

The first episode of Our UAV is Online is here to educate you about video games. We tackle a variety of issues in our first episode, and I think you're really gonna like what you hear. Unlike most video game podcasts, I keep the humor flowing and the personal touch touching! LOL JK! In this issue, we talk about the demise of Call of Duty 4, the rise of online homophobia and racism, and tackle an old friend in the Retro game of the week!
