Podcast #011 – Game Season!

Posted by jaynoon on October 30, 2008 – 12:48 pm

Our eleventh podcast!  (64 minutes).

Justin is back from Blizzcon and we give it proper attention, plus we gush about Dead Space, Fable II and Portal: Still Alive. Major Nelson was due to be on this show to talk NXE, but he was worn out from traveling in France. We’ll try to get him on the next show. Thanks to everyone for the comments and questions for Major, we’ll sit on those and ask them of him when we do the interview.

  • Robey reports from Blizzcon:
    Diablo III, Starcraft IIs & a little WOTLK
  • In the box:
    Portal: Still Alive
    Dead Space
    Fable II

    Great show guys, it was hilarious. Have to agree with you guys about dead space, from the sound, environment, and the actions, the game is spectacular. Also I have no idea what Justin was on during the show but wow that was hilarious. Love the show and I can’t wait for the next.

    Good show guys. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on some of the new releases. I’ve played through three times on Fable 2 and have to say that the game has more than exceeded my expectations. Plus, Fallout 3 is looking to take up a lot of time.

    I wonder when I’ll get to play Portal or go back to Dead Space. Ah, this is a good problem. :)

    “…entire flippin’ time…”

    LOL! Ultimate kudos to any of my colonial cousins using British slang correctly!

    These casts get better and better – you’re capturing perfectly the spirit of the old Gamespot podcasts when they had Jeff, Rich and Ryan on board combined with the crazy chaoticness of the Bungie podcast…I look forward to your podcasts now even more than Giantbomb :)

    Thanks for the effort, amigos, it’s much appreciated!

    And, I know, “chaoticness” is not a real word…but “chaos” didn’t suggest the correct level of awesome. Chaoticality? Chaocity?

    Oh, and BTW, the fellow that read “Rendevous With Death” on the GOW2 trailer was William Morgan Sheppard, who you may recognise as the voice of the narrator (Colonel Stanley Hargrove) from Medal Of Honor: Frontline amd Allied Assault. He was also a Russian soldier in MGS2: Substance.

    He has also appeared in various episodes of Star Trek (TNG & DS9), was Captain Witwicky in Transformers and about a million other places, too many to mention.

    And I am realising that I am way to much of a voice recognition nerd.

    Yet again a grat show!

    On the subject of NXE I would be interested in listening to an interview with the test crew for NXE. We have got all the info we need on the NXE except for testing.

    Keep up the good work.
