Nick, Kaz, Tony and Tom convene a meeting of the gaming defense force. Before getting the big stuff they discuss this week’s obsession–Echochrome. And last week’s as well–The World Ends With You and that Grand Theft something or other. This week’s news that doesn’t involve GTA IV…still involves a Rockstar staff member.
The meat of this episode lies in talking not about a game, but the backlash a game can get. And we introduce a new segment: Bang for Your Buck, which makes each cast member stretch a budget thin to get as much gaming this month as you can get, hint: the answers aren’t that obvious.
All that and more in The Rumble Pack!
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.
