Episode 21: To Stoop That Low
The full crew is back again, Tom, Nick, Kaz and Justin delve into the great unknown. Tom talks about finishing Portal and Zack and Wiki. Nick is continuing the quest of pain in Ninja Gaiden. Justin finished Metroid Prime 3 and found more gems in the Chinese arcades. Kaz hasn’t played much in anticipation of a week heavy with gaming goodness, like game fasting or something. Then the whole bunch talk about NPDs as a spring board into a greater discussion of the console market at large. Healthy doses of news and more than a passing reference to old Nickelodeon shows round out a laughter filled episode.
No commentsEpisode 20: Space Is Getting Tight
Nick, Kaz and Justin convene to discuss their feelings and get in touch with their inner child. Which sounds a lot like Justin dropping a boat load of thoughts on everything handheld and even Metroid Prime 3 (Wii Trouble in China?). A little like Nick and Kaz going ballistic about the Uncharted demo and the Rock Band demo. And whole lot like all three being shocked by the avalanche of interesting titles starting to come out. Also included: sending games to retailers to die, a long discussion of Super Mario Galaxy sales numbers, DLC for guitar games, 90’s sitcom theme humming, abusing Toad’s voice and much, much more. Come for the fun, stay for the discourse!
No commentsEpisode 19: John Karma-ack
This intro brought to you buy Justin’s massive vocal cords.
Nick, Tom, Justin and Kaz raid the internet airwaves to bring you their thoughts on all things gaming. Justin has been hacking away at his PSP titles while Tom has been hacking away his should while trying to best Guitar Hero III at its own game. Nick has been giving love to his PS3 in the form of punishing himself with Ninja Gaiden while Kaz busies himself by trying to play every game that releases on the Xbox360. Conversation turns to contemplating Mario’s previous outings in preparation for Galaxy. No discussion of Mario is complete this week without talking about the lackluster Japanese sales and the crew doesn’t hold back. Heaps of news rundown to follow. Enjoy!
Note: Some audio glitches occur during our recording with our overseas correspondent. Usually they are removed, this week they resulted in Tom using the worst possible pun imaginable and have been left in to preserve his shame forever.
