I will be completely honest with you: throughout the entirety of this week’s episode, Jim sounds like the Predator and Aaron occasionally sounds like Max Headroom. As appropriate as this is given our robot-themed website, I thought you deserved some fair warning.
Outside of the weird technical issues caused by a thunderstorm in BlindsideDorkville, this week we talked about our favorite gaming quotes, which, in turn, just served as an excuse to talk about philosophy and storytelling and control and auteur theory and rape without needing specific reasons to do so. Head to the official Podtoid page and check it out, if you’re man enough.
Our discussion topics included:
Evaluating retro games using modern sensibilities – Don’t hate us, RFGO; we only talk about it for a moment.
Aaron regales us with a story of rape – And for once, it isn’t from his childhood.
If Guybrush has learned one thing, it’s this – Always play Monkey Island.
Mister Freeeeeeeeman… – Aaron does a remarkably good G-Man impression.
With Monthly Musings and eight hundred college assignments to go through this week, I must apologize for the lack of a pre-show post and therefore, for the lack of reader questions and therefore, for the lack of a $25 prize. I will not make this mistake again. Not this week, anyway.
