Welcome to the Perpetual Noob Machine! This is a show hosted by Bill, Erik, and Cid. What we do is play a different free game every month, with you, the listeners! At the end, we’ll come back and share our stories and yours, and get some screenshots up in an upcoming gallery. There will also be prizes!
Game night is every Tuesday night (but go ahead and make friends, play at other times too if you want!), from 7-11pm cst, and we’ll have a Vent server going.

There’s at least one attempt at a Grizzled War Vet story this month. Don’t let me win by being the only person to turn in a story in all the months of this challenge.
Hey hey, nice playing with you guys last night
See you in the next game!
I’ve grabbed “AllShesGot” a male Imperial Agent. It strikes me that a Female might have made more sense with that name.
Just in case any of you do a dyslexic google search like I just did, I want to let you know that this: http://www.cduniverse.com/ is not the right website for October’s game.
That could have been worse.
I accidentally a letter out of my username for S4, so please welcome BearlessWonder.
That might be better.
It’s certainly no worse. And it turns out I need to listen to the podcast before naming characters for the next month.
Hah! I cant believe you are actually doing s4 league.
You can believe it, just look in your heart!
I reversed the polarity on the comments, this should be muuuch better.
Character name for july: Sisterred
also UGH, ACTUALLY SPENT MONEY trying to buy some of them special discounted items on sale right now, but you have to be level 30?! But i want to turn into a panda NOOOOW
I’m going to do a write up to post on the home page, by popular request. Also would be a good idea to reverse sort the comments…
Hoo boy. Well, those of us that could get the game to work had fun clowning around. APB is an odd game as it doesn’t often work, but when it does, it provides one of the most fun online experiences around.
Last night, the PPD (Bill, Cid, and I) went crim and created the “Crime Criminals”, the ne’er-do-well arch-nemeses of the heroic Team Awesome. So, if you’d rather give Lady Justice a pimp-slap instead of a love-tap, we’ve got that covered too.
Scratch that, HERE are some screenshots.
Some choice screenshots from the inaugural night of madness:
OMG!, I feel scarred for life from playing APB. Free to play isn’t enough they should be giving me money to put up with that piece of crap. Anyways that games sucks balls, love the show, and keep up the great work.
Sorry, guys. Couldn’t get it to work. It tested just fine but when it was time to play, it just wouldn’t work. I hope things went better for you than it did for me. Have fun!
mine is goku4u and he is goku
It’s Steam. The site doesn’t like links for whatever reason.
Is this a steam game or what? Where do you download the installation file from?
You’ll have to download the game ahead of time. I honestly don’t know how avatars work, you probably have to register as a user.
Is this something we have to download ahead of time or something?
Why don’t I have a picture when I comment??
7-11 cst every Tuesday, updated page!
Edit: I don’t know why my avatar is Eggbert, I never set that!
What time??
We can use my guild, Team Awesome. Anyone who signs up can get a free hat and awesome shirt! I’ll probably just use my character Westen.
Made myself a character. Probably will be playing for the first time tomorrow.
