Episode 38: The Gauntlet

No, our delay wasn’t an prank for the first of April. It was an unfortunate manifestation of the perils of mixing electronics with anything.

Nick, Tom, Tony and Kaz enter the podcast pit of doom for a showdown. Nick finishes up Megaman ZX Advent, Kaz gushes more about N+ and playing the ninja game with friends. Tony continues to ponder Shiren the Wanderer while simultaneously exploding when thinking about Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword and Tom tries to lure everyone into a drawn out XBLA high score battle.

In the second segment of the show we mix our news with our discussion and come up with a conversation about sequelitis and game company mergers and talk shortly about Still Alive in Rock Band. Then we cap off the show by discussing the absence of any good game releases this week, and Nick issues a “Challenge of the Gods” to Tony.

Bonus for waiting: The Official Rumble Pack Brawl Stage (ver. 0.1)

About the Author

This podcast is a celebration of the social aspects of gaming. We were “smash brothers” long before we became the ‘Pack, and we continue to game with each other on a regular basis. If you look beyond all of the media sensationalism and message board wankery, you’ll discover that video games can help form bonds that will last forever. We’re living proof of that – we’re not jaded journalists (not yet, at least), we’re not tournament players and we’re certainly not fanboys. We’re just folks who love to play and discuss games with each other, and we hope to extend this friendship to our listeners with every installment.
