Ella, the hunter female id to Sharieff's super ego. Jibbles, a hunter name so stupid it could only be Danny. Cory, making his much-delayed entrance as MNC Beau.Hunt Terminology: "Hit him in the strudel" - A monster stomach punch. Guts = strudel. "EZ Trap" - A trap provided by the welfare box for hunts, though not necessarily EZ-er than a normal trap.Hunt Results: Lots of hunts tonight, including three abandoned hunts against the Alatreon, followed by successes against the winged Rathalos, the slippery Royal Ludroth, and one two three whacked Gigginoxes. Gigginoxi. Gigginousages?Podcast Quotables: 13:28 - "The grand cinnamon roll, the glory of the confectioner's cabinet at Barnes & Noble has been pillaged, and there are no more." -Cory 30:27 - "He'd probably yank your balls out through your asshole." -Danny 40:28 - "Apparently, the undead, werewolves, and ghosts of the world really all just want to come back and have sex with the living." 1:06:29 - "I am fully aware that I could call you up on Christmas, on your first child's christening, probably on your wedding night, and get you to join me in a game of anything."Games Referenced: Two Worlds, Rage, Ninja Gaiden, Dead Island, Borderlands, Primal Rage, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection, Bad Dudes, Karnov, Trojan, Sexy Time Trivia Monday Night Crew yes 1:33:06 http://www.mondaynightcrew.com/2011/11/monster-hunter-tuesday-podcast-%e2%80%93-broadcast-5/ http://www.mondaynightcrew.com/2011/11/monster-hunter-tuesday-podcast-%e2%80%93-broadcast-5/#comments Sun, 20 Nov 2011 17:15:53 +0000 D.H.

Sharieff, In which we discuss dating, the Italian population of South Philadelphia, FMV games, and honey wands. And it's Jho Day!Hunt Participants: Danny, the occasional narrator and sword-and-shield wielder, as Jibbles. Sharieff, a black man trapped in a white female hunter's body, as Ella. Kang the tailcutter, played by Derek, the tail chaser. Hunt Terminology: "Farcaster" - an item used to return home from anywhere in the hunt. A bit like the red shoes in The Wizard of Oz, but without the faint odor of little people oppression. "Welfare Box" - At the base camp of every hunt, a box of trinkets is provided by the people who have requested you to slay beasts. Essential elements for hunting 50-foot monstrosities are provided, such as maps and . . . paint balls. Welfare, indeed. Hunt Results: We hunted three times, not counting the two disconnects that were edited out. First, a Great Baggi, a somewhat crap Ice Wyvern, then the Rathalos - see every European Medieval dragon ever drawn - and finally, the Deviljho, malicious devourer and recipient of the titular "Jho Day" honor. Podcast Quotables: 58:35 - "It is damnable of honey to assume that it is such an important condiment that it needs its own dispenser." -Danny 1:05:58 - "I thought you was (sic) going to tell me some elaborate ammunition, like you shoot an egg out, and the egg turns into Lonnie Anderson or something!" -Sharieff Monday Night Crew yes 1:30:14 http://www.mondaynightcrew.com/2011/11/monster-hunter-tuesday-podcast-%e2%80%93-broadcast-4/ http://www.mondaynightcrew.com/2011/11/monster-hunter-tuesday-podcast-%e2%80%93-broadcast-4/#comments Thu, 03 Nov 2011 02:01:26 +0000 D.H.

Ella, the stoic white hunter will be played by Sharieff, the jovial black man. Derek is Kang. Not King, or Kong, or Kung. Kang. Hunt Terminology: "Bigmeat." Try to understand - Monster Hunter is a Japanese game, and some things, well, some things don't fare well in translation. Bigmeat is a literal meal choice for an aspiring hunter's pre-hunt supper. I don't know why, but I do know that it's fun to bellow in a loud baritone. Hunt Results: Three hunts, three wins. Down go two Barioths and the Phantom Uragaan, which is like the regular roly-poly Uragaan, only tinier and more adorable. Still armored, though. Really, it's like hunting a bowling ball.

Sharieff, comfortable enough with his own sexuality to play the female Ella. Derek is Kang, or as I like to think of him while editing the podcast in stereo, the left speaker. Hunt Terminology: "Jibbles Jump," a maneuver by which orbital escape velocity is achieved when friends bring long swords to a hunt and swing them like they're swatting cockroaches on the ceiling. Hunt Results: No Rathalos Plate for Derek. Again. Poor guy.
