Woodyman counts down the top 10 canines of modern gaming.
Elmo 3000: I love Hewie so much. He helped Haunting Ground become the first survival horror game to really grip me and make me take the genre as a whole seriously.
Then I thought I was being hasty so I played Rule of Rose and it turns out I love that game too, so... PS2 canine-involved survival horror games seem to be my kind of thing. Great list of greatness. Can't wait to play Okami too.

Tom the Iron Man: I approve of this
The Guardian: If you wanted cute wolf, you should have gone with Okamiden becasue, OMG IT'S A PUPPY! IT'S ADORABLE!!
I'm trying to think of dogs in gaming that you don't have on either of your two lists, but I'm finding it pretty hard. All I can think of is that X1 confrence and that CoD Dog. Then I get to thinking about the hilarious twitter account.

In this double review Woodyman takes a look at Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers from The Behemoth.
Woodyman: The music is phenominal
Woodyman: Give Alien Hominid a go, but be prepared for toughness
darkhyrulelord: Good reviews Woody! I haven't played either of these games, but they both certainly sound like fun. I need to check out Castle Crashers in the near future as well.
Bryan Mangan: I distinctly remember the giant pudding monster being nominated for Nintendo Power's weirdest gaming moment of the year award.
Hiatus: This is the best double review I have ever read.

Today on Woodyman's Pokemon Emerald 386 Adventure, we got sloppy with a new Pokemon, and befriend Charles Darwin.
Woodyman: Yes flawless... I totally didnt edit out my losses
Woodyman: I almostlost too
Woodyman: Sorry Twitter is the fairest way I saw
The Guardian: Quite the episode, extended edition. Also, your reference to the first episode of Pokemon made me happy.
Need Twitter to participate? Awww, but I wanted to play too...

In a side by side comparison Woodyman determines which game is better, Mortal Kombat 9 or Super Street Fighter IV.
darkhyrulelord: I haven't played SSIV but I am interested in playing it...even if I might get my butt kicked. I did like MK9....A LOT. The Challenge tower was evil, but it was quite the epic journey to get there. I also did like the Story mode immensely. Online was OK, but local matches were a lot of fun. I honestly think that it might have been the game of the year for that year since it was just so....so much better than I ever would have thought.
Korahn: Luckily, I don't need to decide which is better as I too have them both. Of course, I've mainly been playing Injustice as far as 2d fighters go right now.
NODlike: I like both games, although the story and challenge tower in MK give it the edge for me. And the Vita version has an additional "bonus" challenge tower with 150 new missions. Some bonus!
Baleoce: I know one has to, but neither of them deserve to win the training mode contest. They are so below par in that respect. Even Capcom admitted to leaving out a visible hitbox option because it "didn't look nice". Also online training mode should have been a thing in SF4.
The challenges are fine and all for a short while, but you will soon realize that a lot of those combos are not worth your time, and are really not the training drills you should be working on for your character in order to maximize your punishes. It is a fun little throwaway mode, but it has far more potential than that.
They should allow a challenge option to only allow you to progress from each challenge when you complete a custom (or static) amount of the same combo in one go. Because *that's* how you learn them, not just by fluking it once. There's no merit in finally finding the right spacing for a combo, and then immediately moving on.
For SF5 I'd like to see a custom combo creator in the challenges engine. I know you could just do this in training mode, but I think it's important to be able to see your progress in some kind of visually represented form over time. That way you can tailor your challenges to keep up with current character standards too.
Also, a CPU example of the combo being performed along with real-time input data to teach you spacing and the finer details would be nice (you can argue it's better to learn things like this for yourself, but other games seem to do justify it just fine). For example KOF XIII, and those combos are even more complicated.

Burf12345: here's a huge problem with Super Street Fighter IV, it awards you for sucking. I mean the ultra move you get by sucking is more powerful than the super move you get by actually playing well, where's the logic in that?

Today on Woodyman's Pokemon Emerald 386 Adventure, we complete a mission and say "fuck you nature".
darkhyrulelord: *sees piles of everstones on the beach* *now I have 999 of them* Dah! It came back to haunt me!
The Guardian: Classic filler episode, didn't do anything to advance the plot, what a waste. God, I hate this show so much!
Lol at throwing away the everstone. What an asshole.

Today on Woodyman's Pokemon Emerald 386 Adventure, we get our goods touched and sail with T-Pain.
Woodyman: useless pokemon, and thanks I might catch one before I try to fight the leader
darkhyrulelord: lol Smoke and Nobleteam can't learn cut. I wish you luck on the second gym. Also, I think that Peeko is a type of Pumbloom species.

52.) Nick or Ben will come in and shout, "Sobriety!"
53.) Someone will do the exact opposite of what they should do in a minigame and think they're winning.
54.) Everyone will say that Mario Party 1 was better.
55.) Someone will say something genuinely insulting or unnecessary in the chat which the players will reference and shame, and anyone who didn't watch it live will have no idea what was said.
