If a video game journalist mentions Can, I assume it's Jeremy.

bobservo posted:I think this episode was the last one we recorded where he didn't have one for his home setup. We've also soundproofed the vault, so things should start sounding a lot better in general. I noticed Jeremy was pretty quiet in the mix during this episode, though I didn't notice any popping. It was a great episode in either case.

Wikipedia Brown posted:I imagine suggesting a game for WOFF is like spitting in the ocean at this point, but Star Control 2 (most easily in the form of Ur-Quan Masters) would be a great game for the cast. It's like a narrative-focused MoO with asteroidsesque action combat. We have our schedule planned for the next few months but after that we're pretty open and this has been suggested by none other than Video Games Hot Zach so it's on our radar. I'm a huge fan of Starflight which is like a primitive version of Star Control 2(my understanding).

Wikipedia Brown posted:Cool! Yeah, Star Control 2 is considered a sort of spiritual successor to Starflight (with some key SC2 personnel having worked in various capacities on Starflight). The Genesis Starflight, along with the Genesis Shadowrun, were instrumental to getting me into PC gaming.

Wikipedia Brown posted:Like Starflight on the Genesis, it was an opportunity to revisit and revise a slightly older game on a powerful console, rather than a case of trying to cram a complex game onto a less flexible machine. See also, for my money, the SNES Sim City.

Dragonatrix posted:Cannot wait. Deadly Premonition is amazing, and hearing y'all gush about it for about 2 hours is gonna be amazing too. I might have a surprise for you in that case. I'm probably about 3/4 the way through and while there is a lot I like about it, there are some things I straight up hate. Luckily, it's been steadily improving in this back half and I'm pretty into it right now so it could be a total redemption in the end.

ColonelJohnMatrix posted:Dark Souls 2 We're recording a "first impressions" mini episode tomorrow that will sum it up but I'm absolutely in love. I've been mainlining it for days. My only misgiving is requiring you to level up through the Emerald Herald rather than at bonfires when you can warp. Seems unnecessary but I'm sure there's a lore reason I haven't figured out yet. Tune in Sunday for more gush and thanks for the kind words!

weird bleep posted:I hope Gary and Kole have been trying PvP in Dark Souls 2! I have played all the Souls games at launch and I find that PvP is always the most fun and crazy right after the games are released. Everyone is trying to figure out the game and you find people using a variety of different builds, some of the covenants are super crazy this time too! I'm looking forward to hearing them cover the main game, podcasts always make the work day go faster and I can't get enough of Dark Souls 2 talk! I have done a little! I'm actually doing pretty well. We'll probably do another PVP special later in the season where we visit how it's different than DS1.

ColonelJohnMatrix posted:I would also STRONGLY recommend that someone play DaS1 before jumping into 2. You will have so much more of an appreciation for the callbacks and devious redesigns meant to throw you off. This is true. Dark Souls 2 is very much a sequel. I was expecting something closer to a Demon's Souls to Dark Souls relationship but it's much more direct.

TetsuoTW posted:Zack's 100% right that likening Don't Starve to Minecraft is loving insane though. I mean I guess you build things out of resources you mug nature for? Eh, I can sort of see it. The games have a lot in common and playing Don't Starve sort of reminds me of the first night of Minecraft before you actually know what you're doing.

Al! posted:I had the exact same impression of Don't Starve as Zack and I played the final as well. I'm sure it's wrong or whatever but when you open the crafting menu for the first time it looks like there really isn't much to make. Now I didn't really take to Don't Starve because I don't like babysitting meters and wandering around aimlessly hoping to stumble upon the crafting ingredient I need but that was the impression I got over the first couple of hours. My biggest problem with Don't Starve, in the build I played at least, was the over reliance on gold. If you spawned in a biome where gold was rare/hard to get to you were more or less boned.

Opendork posted:Kinda unrelated, but I think you guys say in this that you did an Abject Suffering for JJ and Jeff? I don't think I've gotten around to sending anything else because I'm usually lurker as gently caress but I suggested that game after you asked for games from offbeat consoles and I can't find it on the site. It's actually a Kickstarter exclusive bonus thing we did as a lark when Kole was crashing at my place. Since you suggested it, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't have access though.

bobservo posted:I'm really interested to hear what you guys think about this one -- I had to force myself through it, but it was definitely one of the most interesting video game experiences I've ever had. If I had to guess, Suda 51 was able to make this game because Capcom was essentially losing all of their key staff members around this time, and I think the company had him pegged as their next Mikami or Kamiya. Though I'm not sure if Suda is entirely responsible for the magic of Killer 7, since everything he's made after that -- barring some parts of No More Heroes -- has been pretty uninspired. Yeah, I ended up really liking it, despite the fact that it doesn't seem like a very Gary game. I actually liked it more than I liked Deadly Premonition on the subject of interesting games with bad gameplay.

doctorfrog posted:There's a sort of dumb marketing hopefulness to calling it 'iconic.' Like when Network Associates bought the rights to name the Oakland Colosseum, there was this giant banner on the front of it that said NETWORK ASSOCIATES COLOSSEUM, and in little italic writing in quotes it said, "See you at the 'Net," like it was a thing they wanted people to start saying. Nobody's going to loving say that. Whenever I think about marketing people, I think about Shadow of the Colossus. These huge, lumbering idiot beasts trying to capture small things with big clumsy hands.

I'm real big into watching Speedruns and I tend towards the AGDQ stuff just because it's commentated. I'm sure you already know to look there but I'm speaking up more to mention that I haven't found any other solid sources and I'd love to hear some.
