This week DeagleEagle, Samurage, BlueSwim and guest co-host Jeremy “The Lawman” LaMont offer impressions on Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention, The Pinball Arcade, Fez, Diablo 3, Skullgirls, Army Corps of Hell, the PS Vita version of LEGO Harry Potter: year 5-7, as well as blow their collective tops once more over the profanity-provoking Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood! Beyond offering some Commodore trivia to commemorate the life and work of Jack Tramiel, as well as offering responses to listener questions, we also welcome FarSight Studio’s Bobby King, who is on hand to offer an engaging and in-depth discussion of The Pinball Arcade.
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
I remember when the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something.
All those games had to release without bugs.
Diablo III still works on modern PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and remains hugely playable a decade after initial release.
Diablo III: Season 28 brings with it the Altar of Rites, an altar full of unlockable bonuses and potions that will require the gathering of tons of resources. One of things needed is the Staff of Herding, which also unlocks the famous Cow Level known as Whimsyshire. Here's how to craft that staff, for those that either have forgotten, or have never completed it.
Sounds like a good show. It's been a few weeks!
Yay!! A new podcast!!
I'll listen to the Pinball Arcade interview.
I'm waiting on a Army Corps of Hell price drop. S-E games always drop like rocks.
Sounds like a good show. Lots of stuff.
