Chris’s Office…

Posted by chrisredfield on August 26, 2010 – 3:49 pm

In response to some questions about what action figures we each have in our offices…here is a partial shot of my (Chris’s) office.  Notice the Viva Pinata figures on top of the book shelf along with the Halo 3 slurpee cups, lots of movies on DVD, Blu-ray, and HD-DVD for dinners during crunch mode, M.U.S.C.L.E. figures, Generation 1 Transformers (Hound, Blitzwing, Ironhide, Ratchet) Invader Zim & Gir toys, Morrigan from Capcom’s Darkstalkers, Terry Bogards Fatal Fury hat, an old Mega Drive system, some Final Fantasy XIII Play Arts figures of Lightning and Vanille, Autobot and Decepticon logo pillows for my couch, a Dead or Alive Ultimate wall scroll, Flash Gordon, Aliens (Hicks), Street Fighter (Ken), Indiana Jones, and Crimson Skies toys on the wall under the bookshelf, and even a Gradius model on my desk.  I’m also holding an old WWF Championship belt. 

February 2010!

This is about 1/2 of the “toys” in my office.  ; )

Show #040: How many Carmines must perish?

Posted by jaynoon on August 10, 2010 – 6:02 pm

Episode fo’ty (says Chris).

We’ve been playing Red Dead Redemption, Alan Wake, Limbo, Death Smiles, Death Smiles II X, Crackdown 2 & Game Room.

We cover a bunch of Crackdown 2 achievement tips, go over new hardware (Kinect, Kinect Bundle, Xbox 360 S & Reach Special Edition console).

Some chatter about the unique multiplayer design in Kane & Lynch, Plants vs. Zombies on XBLA, and the Dead Rising 2 collector’s edition.

Questions from Listeners:
  • What’s it like testing Kinect titles?
  • Do we have to re-test half of Gears 3 depending on the Carmine vote?
  • We wrap it all up with Chris’s ethereal journey into the two-hit combo of bacon and chocolate.
