I didn't listen yet but I saw a commercial for a new Wolfenstein game for PC (I assume this is the one that you're talking about) where they go to some other dimension or planet. smh
-
Compound the crime. :rofl
-
I would have entered the SE7EN challenge, but I figured since I got Killzone it would be douche to enter something like that again.
Then again.. Killzone sucked...

There are some brief glimpses of another dimension and some nasty stuff comes through various portals to the real world, but you don't actually go there. Most of the game is spent in a German city.

Kevin: Confessions of a Superhero (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1016164/)
yeah, i shoulda just googled it but i was too lazy
great documentary, btw
-
Awesome.
Kevin's comment on Infamous reminded me that I think the sidekick character is based on George Bush's. He says folksy shit like "cashola" and there is a twist in the latter half of the game that really sold me on the hypothesis

"Eric P is a pedo..." :lol
Also that dog looks mildly distinguished mentally-challenged :lol

For the video game writing episode, you have have HAVE to talk about the HIDEOSNOUS that is Kojima's rep as a good or interesting or competent or whatever the fucking mythos is writer. Perhaps an examination of some eastern vs. western rpgs would be a good topic to touch on as well, since some of those old Black Isle/BioWare games have some of what I would argue are the ONLY decent writing to grace games ever.
-
Also Zelda: OoT, which happened to be Doug's favorite game of all-time.

They should bring that up on the "exposing the seedy underbelly of the world of 'video game journalism' episode"... for shits and giggles maybe they can see if there still exists some sort of record of alphasnacks' review of The Bouncer.
-
The Bouncer. :lol
-
If I remember correctly, it really "got his emotion engine racing."

maf suggested we try eve online for the next borecast investigates and taste VIRTUAL CORPORATE LIFE. he's also gonna give us a write-up of his hilariously bureaucratic eve online experience
-
I suggest for Indefensible - Policenauts
Go on I dare ya
-
kojima in general would be a good call
but snatcher/policenauts are pretty damn awful

Due to the holiday, Episode 17 will be up tomorrow morning, then it's every Monday after that (unless there's a holiday or unavoidable delay).

I've been so busy the last few weeks that I still haven't even gotten to listen to ep 15 yet. I need to start splitting these and burning them to audio cd's so I can listen in the car.
