Beastie Boys in Electronic Gaming Monthly, September 05 issue

[balohna]

Soul Calibur 3 is on the cover. Yauch talks about how he was addicted to Unreal Tournament for a while, Adrock talks about how he used to play a lot of Tetris on Game Boy, and apparently they don't play NBA Street despite the fact that they're in the third one.

You can get the mag emailed to you for free, click here (https://www.zdmcirc.com/zdmcirc/promo/eb/) and you should get the magazine emailed to you within minutes. It doesn't hit news stands for a while though, probably not for a week or two.

It says on that webpage that the offer expired in January and that it's a gift for buying something, but it works perfectly. I found it not even knowng the Bboys were in the magazine, I wanted to read about SC3 and the interview with Nintendo's top guys.

Thanks for the info. What is Unreal Tournament?

[balohna]

It's a video game... online multiplayer shooting game pretty much. I was just playing some a couple minutes ago :)

Thanks!!! (y)

MCA: The problem with playing portable videogames is that you end up sitting on the toilet for like an hour and a half, even if you have "finished" in a couple minutes.

HAHAH!! :D

MCA: Originally we went to a gaming company and talked about doing a videogame version of our latest album. It seemed like an interesting idea since the gaming company had created these environments and made these characters. The company said it was too busy, but were like, "Yo, MTV makes those joints-hook up with them."


Damn...way back when there was all kinds of speculation/hopes/rumors floating around, this exact idea came up.

I'll try and search it.

cheers for posting the article, good stuff.

MCA: I add my own music. I like to make a playlist or put a bunch of CDs on random, and then turn off the game's sound.

that's exactly what i do if i play on a game, whatever it is.

Mike D: I'd like to say that I found myself being very concerned for [MCA] during this period. Seriously, it was like talking to someone going through a drug phase.

LOL! this and that handheld games bit...I don't think i've read a beasties interview where there isn't some genuinely funny shit.

TV tag is too easy until you've been playing a while and can't think of any TV show names fast enough to save yourself. Flashlight tag is great though.

Ok...what the hell is flashlight tag and tv tag? :confused:

[balohna]

Flashlight tag is tag but in the dark and you don't have to actually touch people, you just flash your flashlight on them. TV tag you yell out the name of a TV show and crouch down and the person who's "it" can't tag you until you get up again.

i laughed when adrock was talking about playing tetris in his storage lockers
