We’re in the mood to talk about intentionally stereotyped zombies and Yar’s motivation for seeking revenge. While these compelling questions cannot be answered, we’ve got some coverage of a multi-site conference call with Warren Spector on his upcoming Epic Mickey. Also, we take a look back at the often-forgotten and widely polarizing open world shooter, Far Cry 2.
Moments ago, we had an opportunity to sit in on a multi-outlet conference call with Junction Point’s Warren Spector, creative director of Disney Epic Mickey, upcoming title from Disney Interactive Studios.
Killzone 3 is due out in late February but recently the online multiplayer beta got underway giving players a chance to break in a couple of maps and modes. Although I didn’t spend a great deal of time with Killzone 2 multiplayer, what I’ve experienced thus far in the Killzone 3 beta is very similar, which isn’t a bad thing. The two maps are environmentally very different: Corint...[Read More]
We’ve somehow coined a new term and learned to hate ourselves even more, but we also seem to think our podcast is growing legs. As such, Black Ops is here, but we elect to talk about GoldenEye 007 for the Wii instead. There’s some more anecdotal Fallout: New Vegas stories that lead to yet another discussion on accidental emergent gameplay and cyborgs. Shinji Mikami makes another appear...[Read More]
The only podcast with a non-unlockable BMX XXX minigame is headlined by more Fallout: New Vegas discussion, as we once again begin musing about a utopian state of gaming, the nosedive of the Japanese industry, and the time and place for experimental games. Are games favoring presentation and experience more than gameplay mechanics? We don't know, but we talk about it anyway. Also, Eric chokes on h...[Read More]
After a brief hiatus, we have returned with tips for J(urassic)-Parking your car and we learn how to avoid being crucified by electricity. Hold on to your butts.
Another wonky podcast inspired by a CG-version of The Rock's face on a scorpion is here. This week's episode features more terrible downloadable content combined with a look at NBA Jam, a preview of the unreleased Dead Nation, and a slew of other games that may or may not begin with "Dead". Our Retroactive Sh*tstorm segment turns a loving, critical eye on Chrono Trigger. Also, we muse over the mas...[Read More]
Some strange, ice-forged turns are taken, as we take a look at some new and old topics that somehow spawn new levels of gaming discussion absurdity.
We recently had the opportunity of doing a little Q&A with Hersh Choksi (Producer, Divergent Shift; President, Intrinsic Games). The game’s wicked breed of platforming twisted our minds into pretzels, so we figured we’d do our best to twist Hersh’s in return. Enjoy! DC: Let’s start, if you don’t mind, with a bit of history. Tell us a little about how Divergent Shift (a.k.a. Refl...[Read More]
The summer is over! Dead Space 2 multiplayer beta, Michael Jordan's badassery, and a coming of age story starring Final Fantasy combine with other adulterous topics for an episode of Flap Jaw Space that is sure to alienate even more of our listeners!
