Memorable Multiplayer – The Horrible Show 030911

It’s time to get ready to shoot some friends so Justin, Cole, Ethan, Gifford, and Christina revisit their multiplayer gaming history. From Atari to Xbox Live, Breakout to Worms, Gears of War to Double Dribble, we define our favorite era of multiplayer. Send in your questions to [email protected] or @TheHorribleShow

Our competitive blood is boiling in preparation for the 1st Horrible All Nighter this week. Before we can get to that though, Christina and Gifford fight over the true identity of Michael Caine. Our on the Spot question asks which video game protaganist has had the roughest life where Isaac Clarke and Animal Crossing can finally go head-to-head. Our Memorable Multiplayer discussion takes the Cursed on another time travelling adventure to the days of having only one Atari controller, hard fought Tecmo Bowl victories, and learning the arcade art of spine ripping. Justin is forced to relive his Goldeneye nightmares and still isn’t able to convince anyone new to play Smash Bros while Cole eventually gives way to admit he still enjoys Modern Warfare. Join us this Thursday at 8pm EST on Xbox Live for our Gears of War 2 Horrible All Nighter. Put us in our place and we’re sure to talk trash about you in a future episode. As we head out, Christina asks for a death certificate from Square Enix and Cole is tries to talk himself out of PlayStation Plus.
