So running lean on podcasts lately, I decided to dive in to Watch out For Fireballs. I have now listened to the vast majority of the episodes, along with all of Bonfireside Chat up to Dark Souls 2 which I haven't played yet. I really love the podcast. Your dynamic, voices, and checklist of references are all great. Keep it up. P.S. You guys are bad at Metroid Prime.

Tae posted:There's a fine line between being dumb and being inexperienced. A lot of things that Dan is "dumb" about are things he's never been exposed to, like mortgages and most food. He's pretty open about learning things, but sometimes he does the Ironic Guy bit a too much like calling transformers a show for children while under the same breath talking about GI Joe storylines for half an hour.

Woffle posted:To clarify, making fun of Kole for saying Cycle of Samsara is not me making fun of him for being literary, it's for making the same literary allusion many times over. And lest that make me come off as mean, I also make the same references over and over and fully expect to be made fun of as well.

I've been avoiding it since I haven't played DS2 and am waiting until Scholar of the First Sin, so I'm excited for some more stuff to listen to until April.

Woffle posted:I really only think there are a handful of great Zelda games, a couple of good ones, and a whole lot of blah ones. It's like the Metroids series but with less contrast/distance between the wheat and the chaff.

Gary and Kole, have you guys heard of Hybrid Heaven? I feel like it's a bit redundant for WOFF with you guys having done God Hand, and I don't think it's bad enough (or interesting enough in a 30 minute chunk) to be worthy for Abject Suffering. I was just wondering if either of you have played it and have any thoughts. Also, after initially skipping all the extrasodes, I'm going back and listening to most of them (I'm hungry for content.) Between the extrasodes and the weird tangents you guys go off on during Abject Suffering, my favorite parts may be you guys just talking off topic or riffing on unrelated jokes. Keep up the great work.

It is seriously good looking for an N64 game. This screenshot obviously has emu sharpening but the faces actually look like faces. Of course part of how they did this was having empty cube shaped rooms with a max of two models at a time. For those uninitiated: It's a plot that's Psi Ops levels of nonsense. You play a genetically engineered soldier who fights a bunch of Ninja Turtles and Guyver style mutants. The gameplay is kind of like Parasite Eve where you run around real time, then to attack you swap to a menu system where you choose from a long menu of specific types of punches, kicks, and wrestling moves. When an enemy attacks you can choose specific responses like evade or counter. You have location based damage as well as level up your body parts individually. mango sentinel fucked around with this message at 08:34 on Mar 11, 2015 |

Prefacing this with the note I have never replayed it since it came out. I do recall the game being very dialogue/"cutscene" heavy and that combined with how long individual fights take means the entire game is super slow. That's why I didn't suggest it for Abject Suffering. With the pace of gameplay and asking of exposition I don't know that thirty minutes would even get you out of the prologue, where IIRC you aren't even the protagonist yet. I do think the game has solid underlying mechanics though and it's worth looking at as a game trying to do a unique thing.

Listening to WOFF Extrasode 39 with Gary giving out bad comic advice. Y The Last Man and Transmet are way, way better than Ex Machina and Planetary, respectively.
