Episode 7: Stop and Pop
In this episode we start off with excuses for why we haven’t been producing any episodes lately. Followed closely by plugs for our other side projects (TallyHoh.com and ProjectPudding.com) and then we actually talk about game stuff.
We explain our goals for the podcast/website and how YOU, the user, can contribute.
We go over all the stuff we got for Christmas. Michael explained how much he hates his favorite game of all time. Bucky mocks him, and Daniel finally got Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and an XBox 360.
We confirm what the rest of the internet has said about the repetitiveness of Assassin’s Creed. Bucky gets a brand new used PS2…that’s right: PS2. He is so 2000. Oh and Surprise, Surprise, he offends another group of people!
Publishers are going the way of banks and merging into the One Publisher! The console makers respond by removing the need for a publisher via Microsoft XNA and WiiWare.
Editors Note: Sorry I had some mic issues (with placement) that I wasn’t able to fix in editing… I am a little out of practice.

Okay, a couple of things. Force Commander wasn’t THAT bad, Monster in my Pocket was an awesome game, and I can’t believe that you talked about games with really long titles without even a mention of Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors. Also I completely spaced out while Michael was talking about Mass Effect…did he say anything important?
@Spawn
I can only throw so much RPG at them, at a given time. I apologize. As for the Mass Effect, I couldn’t tell you I zoned out…maybe bucky got something out of it
The first-person football game actually existed. When NFL2K was known as ESPN Football, one of the features was playing from a first-person perspective. Also, in terms of playing as just one player, instead of a team, EA does that now in Madden with Superstar mode, where you control just one player throughout his whole career and only play the plays that he is involved in.
@Vince
But do they have a rocket launcher?
@Daniel Roop
If you played as Brett Favre.
