Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin': Trauma Center photo

This is the newest episode of Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin'. It is about Trauma Center.

Now that we've got a panel at PAX, I've gotten all nervous about what will or won't be helpful to talk about, how to remain entertaining, and what sort of HAWP episode we could possibly conjure up that would justify the scene I have in mind that would involve the entire panel audience. Like, I've got the scene all blocked out in my head, but I have no videogame-centric context for it.

I already know I'm going to put some of my favorite GT comments on the bottom of every single slide in my PowerPoint, though. That much is certain.

You'll already be at PAX, the episode doesn't have to be about games.

I just watched this is the cblogs. The end is the best part, as per usual. Is Odin Sphere really that hard? I haven't purchased it yet but it's like $20 on amazon so I'll probably get it sometime soon.

Do my eyes deceive me?

Is she wearing a different shirt?

Indeed she is, I thought she only owned that blue one.

Am I the only one who noticed that she didn't actually eat all the cookies, because the oreos were still sealed?

I noticed that too. Shoddy presentation. For shame, Rev, FOR SHAME.

Actually, after a second look, I believe the package was open, but there were still Oreos in it.

@DMS: They didn't REALLY comment that, did they? They had to have seen the credits where it says by Anthony AND Ashly BURCH.

Amazing episode!

@ DaedHead8
No, Odin Sphere is not that hard. People just bitch because they don't realize that it's actually an RPG combined with a 2D Action game, and they don't understand that concept. As such, some parts of the game will require level/fruit grinding. There's also an easy mode.

Gametrailers comments make me sad unless I imagine that all of the commenters are hillbillies. The comments go from saying "Take off your clothes you stupid bitch" to "You're real ~PUURRRDY~" It makes me hate humanity slightly less.

Now all you need is an Ashley wig and all your dreams will come true!

Yeah, I agree. Gametrailer comments make me feel kind of dirty just by reading them. Apparently, there's more people out there than I realized who want to stick their fingers in a butt.

This is one of my favorites so far. The harvest moon reference and the "no one beat it its a fucking atlus game" was hilarious.

Please tell me that the line "open that shit up" is a reference to Egoraptor's parody video "Awesome Center: Under the Awesome."

Not to brag but...I actually beat Trauma Center (the first one), including the X Missions. The final X Mission took me a week of attempts, with the last session lasting over four hours and leaving my body in a state of disrepair: numb arms, fuzzy eyes, intense headache, and difficulty breathing, plus extreme mental tension that destroyed any hopes of sleeping well that night. Destroying those Space Invaders-esque diseases still stands as one of my proudest gaming accomplishments.

lol..good lord. But nothing is funnier than the comments to Ash. People are horrible creatures. Slap to the face for Odin Sphere is classic.

"I never even beat Trauma Center."
"No one did. It's a fucking Atlas game."
"I beat Odin Sphere..."

I have resumed play on Odin Sphere because of this. :)
