Episode #024: “SHUT UP MISTER MERCER!”

June 3rd, 2009 7 comments

In this episode of Bearfighting Extravaganza, we talk about tangents, including Bionic Commando, Beneath a Steel Sky, and many other things!
This episode was intended to be short due to the fact the E3 Day 1 was happening while we were recording and is indeed still happening now, and so trying to do “up to date” videogame thoughts would be meaningless while new stuff was coming out every minute.

Dont forget that you can leave comments on this post, e-mail us at feedback@lukeandelliot.com, and also follow our semi-offical Twitter feed here!

I appear to have lost the AWESOME image I was to put here, so here is something else awesome: my cat.

This podcast is about:

  • Misfire
  • Crapping on Project Natal right out of the gate, two hours after it was announced!
  • E3
  • Geography!
  • Wow (agh)
  • Hayfever!
  • Piracy/ illegal downloads/bad research/bad France/Sims 3/Shroyuken the band
  • People who want to defy Apple are going to get crucified
  • “Helping the community”
  • Mac Clones = uh oh
  • BING – Microsoft search
  • Cuil?
  • Actual questions in search
  • Google Translate in Gmail: cool
  • 30 mins approx: ACTUAL CONTENT
  • Beneath a Steel Sky: Still awesome.
  • Good Old Games
  • Prince of Persia: Sands of Voice Acting
  • Bionic Commando: Part Deux
  • WTF PLOT WTF
  • Very FUN!
  • Bad Plot twists
  • 37:20 – Ani-gamers podcast Promo! As I mentioned last time, they put out very consistent quality podcasts, and I (Elliot) was very kindly asked to be on their latest episode (#16) which was a bundle of fun.
  • And back.
  • “Difficulty” in late game
  • Terrible saving and achievement mechanics
  • Infamous Demo: Fragile fun!
  • Exclusive DLC when you overpay for the game at retail, god dammit this is dumb
  • 48:30ish – Mobile phones! (again)
  • Nokia N97
  • Palm Pre works in iTunes? Whoa
  • Video Calling?
  • Outro misfire
  • Wind Waker? (Sorry, Yoshi)
  • OPERA ARGH

Coming next week is a special show – the E3 wrapup episode once the whole thing is been and gone. We will talk about the conferences, games shown, and what we are actually excited about frittering our money away on.

Soon after that, it should be our 25th episode, with its special topic! Look forward to it!

Episode#017: “Don’t Blow my Helicopter Buddy Up!”

April 1st, 2009 1 comment

In this weeks episode of Bearfighting Extravaganza, we talk an awful lot about Resident Evil 5!

f-u

How did I pull Luke away from WoW? Well, it wasn’t actually me who did it…

Long list of junk:

  • Computer failure
  • News: RE5 DLC Delayed
  • Max Payne 3: Better not be another sniper rifle bit.
  • Ragnarok/Vodka!
  • QuestHelper, Wow Addon Changes, Blizzard are gits
  • Mass Effect 2!
  • Jesus Shepard, Wrex
  • RE5: Local co-op and total Co-op solutions
  • WEP, WPA and idiots
  • Also, Academic paper! (Google the title for the paper text)
  • Hardware Tech 2000 podcast
  • Graphics!
  • Controls and how to confuse them, archetypes, button misuse
  • Gamecube Controller = good? WTH.
  • Intelligent controller mapping (Game developers listen to this)
  • Terrible shop/local Co-op interface
  • Free Ammo in upgrades!
  • THE GAME IS REALLY FUN, WE FORGOT TO MENTION
  • Gripe magnification
  • Narrative and scene setting, the wish for it.
  • Helicopter Buddies in Resi and their lifespan.
  • Regenerators from RE4  = OH GOD
  • Inventory system sucks
  • Trial and Error
  • COVER MECHANIC?
  • NINJA DOG?
  • Enemy design
  • Bosses!
  • Logic vs Sense
  • The intro at the end.

I really enjoyed recording this show, and hopefully we are now getting the hang of dual microphones. Next week will be a bonus episode due to travelling, after which the “Get people to listen to this show!” Juggernaut will restart. And by restart I mean actually do something instead of endless planning.
