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!

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.
