Episode 62: In Memoriam

Nicolo, Justin, Tom and Kaz pay tribute to one of their favorite podcasts and two games journalist statesmen…by being  just as crude and irreverent as usual!

Tom and Nicolo bludgeon slimes in Dragon Quest 4, Kaz gives his exhaustive impressions of the Rock Band 2 guitar for those who unashamedly care, and Justin reassesses Yakuza 2 after having slammed it the week prior.

The lost topic from Episode 61 returns this week. We discuss the relevancy and merits of 2D gaming in a world of pixel shaders and bump mapping. Everyone throws out a list of their all-time favorite 2D games and hilarity ensues!

Make yourself heard on the subject on the message board!

Episode 61: Secret Lost Episode

After taking a week off from podcasting The Rumble Pack was set upon by the fury of Mother Nature. Power was knocked out, interweb tubes were tied and bad things happenned. In spite of the trauma Nicolo, Kaz and Justin attempted to record a podcast.

 This is the first half of the recording session containing only our trays. The second half of the episode was the victim of some bad internet connectivity, leading to pauses, dropped casters and confusion. The topics of the second half were revisited the following week, so enjoy this annotated “lost” episode.

No Podcast This Week

After realizing the horrors about to descend on us in the form of roughly 400 games coming out this fall; we decided to take a week off and get ready for the onslaught. If you’re looking for some fun we’ll almost certainly be trolling the board during work hours. Until then.
