The Announcement
Hey guys,
Just when you all think we’re gone for good we bounce back!
However, this form is disappointing, one of our biggest criticisms since we started the show was this form.
While we tried everything in our power to record often, our conflicting schedules, me with work, Lex with schooling and Ice moving house twice have run us in circles since almost the first week.
This is where we’re making changes.
At the moment, we’re recording and spending weeks gathering the files and all that junk, by the time the episode drops, the news we talk about is so out of date you might as well have read it on parchment.
So we’re redesigning the show, we’re focussing more on the news and releasing a fortnightly episode where we discuss all things current in gaming.
We hope to be able to keep this going, releasing the occasional episode where we talk random shit.
This comes to the hosting change.
Ice and myself have been lucky enough to have a pretty similar schedule, Lex however is the hardest person to organise as he’s currently doing his thesis in archaeology. So we’re substituting him for Steve who was on our most recent episode.
This does not mean Lex will be leaving the show, we’re just not able to get him on every time. When possible he’ll join us.
We’re set to record this coming Monday, covering the previous fortnight of news in the gaming world. The episode will likely drop later that week, hoping to set a deadline for a Friday release.
So all this will boil down into a more news-centric show, it may be something you guys don’t want, but we’re hoping to get the same energy we usually release in our regular shows.
So until then, thank you for your continuing support of the show and we’re looking to improve a lot of things about it all.
Rib and the crew.
Episode 020: Twentilicious!
Lex uncovered this ancient episode from some catacombs in Southern France while on a recent dig there. He rubbed the dust from the .mp3 and then threw it at me and scolded me for not releasing it sooner. I since then toiled to get it done so he didn’t come after me again.
In this episode, myself and Ice are joined by Ben and Steve, two people very close to us outside of the show, Ben being my brother, while Steve was one of the original members of our circle of friends who began LANning together around 10 years ago.
We discuss many things, from the latest news from late January and reveal the Game of the Year for 2009 as voted by YOU! Along with the winner of the GOTY09, we are also unable to announce yet who won the competition to get a free shirt as we don’t have the shirt availible to us yet. When this does happen we will contact the winner and let them know and will then post it here on the site.
Until then, enjoy the latest episode!

Hey guys, here’s the titilating new episode of The Downunder Gamers Show!
This episode, Rib and Ice are joined by the resurrected corpse of Lex and they all join hands, chatting about what they’ve been playing, a little bit of news, Modern Warfare 2 and a host of other tidbits which should keep you entertained for many hours! well, maybe only roughly 1hr40mins which is the running time of this week’s episodes.

Musics?!
Cage the Elephant - Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked
DISCLAIMER!!
The reason for this episode’s late release, almost a month to be accurate was brought on by stupid stupid me buying Modern Warfare 2, mere days after bitching and complaining on this new episode. I now take it all back, I love the game and I’m running away to Mexico to have it’s babies. Still, that said, Borderlands is still my #1 pick for this year’s DUG GOTY Awards.

DUG GOTY09 Awards!
Hey guys it’s that time of year again to cast your votes for the Downunder Gamers Game of the Year awards!
Same rules as last year, choose your top 3 games of 2009 (any platform) and rank them in points from 3 to 1. Here’s one I prepared earlier!
3 – L4D2
2 – Borderlands
1 – MW2
So as you can see, in the example I felt Left 4 Dead 2 was the best game of the year. Alright, this year it’s a little different though.
When we record our Xmas Spesh 09, we will also draw a votee from a hat and that person will win a fantastic shirt from our soon to come store! Seriously great prizes here, and yes I will rub my balls on it too if you really want me to!
So let the voting begin, as we dont have a solid schedule yet, the episode will be recorded late December just before Christmas and that’s when we’ll award the DUG GOTY09 winner! YAAAAAY!
Downunder Gamers Show Episode 018: Warm Chocolate Milkshake
