The Tech-Gaming Podcast- 5-1: For Queen and Country

In this oft-delayed, highly anticipated podcast, DesertEagle pledges his allegiance to Queen and country with impressions of Goldeneye 007 and James Bond 007: Blood Stone, as well as hosting Southampton developers Megadev, creators of pleasing puzzler- Knightfall: Death and Taxes.  Before SeanNOLA offers thoughts on the direction of Bakugan: Defenders of the Core, we briefly go on a zombie-slaughtering, blister-inducing Blood Drive. This week’s show is bookended by the soothing strains of the Tanguy Ukelele Orchestra

  1. thanks guys!

  2. I’ll be listening tonight. I hope it’s a good one.

  3. So Karnov is officially gone now or what?

  4. 90 minutes? I’ll take it. Some good funky intro music so far.

  5. It’s about damn time, NOLA and Deagle.

  6. He wasn’t that big of a deal. He’d talk weird games once in a while and did like 5 reviews. Big whoop.

  7. If I hadn’t read the text, I would have thought you guys were singing.

  8. So your harddrive crashed NOLA? How did you recover it?

    Geo-intelligence? That’s hardcore.

  9. SeanNOLA was responsible for the CA missile launch with his Xbox 360 controller.

    So far, Deagle is on a roll with his comments. “like Kinect?” LOL.

  10. SeanNOLA you need to see Saw 3D- best 3D movie ever!

  11. Deagle- Elbow NOLA back. I’ve seen a few sites give the game a great score. Escapist- 100% !!!

  12. Deagle- with the smartphone, Goldeneye is obviously in a modern setting.

  13. Noticing the different Walthers is kinda crazy. Do you really like Bond or really like guns?

  14. Where have you been? Have you seen his reviews lately?

  15. So which Bond game has the better intro?

  16. I’ll listen on my way to work tomorrow. Better be a great one!

  17. Kontroller Kevorkian

    Nice show guys. Subscribed!

  18. No Kinect talk beyond a joke from Deagle? Whats going on?

  19. Wise fwom yur gwaves, guys!

    Nice to have a podcast again.

  20. Deagle’s not longer pledged allegiance to the stars and stripes. I cant believe it!

  21. Deagle, don’t feel bad you don’t know the “We are Ghost” expression. It’s a show where they make fun of NIS games.

  22. My hard drive didn’t crash, my Skype recorder was just deleting the files as soon as I was done recording. I uninstalled, reinstalled, did some basic maintenance and haven’t had the problem since. Fingers crossed!

  23. I like Weekend Confirmed, but sometimes they do piss me off. Usually, when they let a guess influence them and they get silly. Still, one of the best podcasts out there.

  24. If you’re using MP3 Skype Recorder, that’s your problem right there 😉

  25. Walker Texas Rapist

    Desert don’t know about smartphone. Desert know guns. And NIS.

  26. Knightfall Downloaded. Great game. The guys sound like a fun bunch!

  27. I noticed the music on the Megadev site reminds me of Disgaea. Coincidence?

  28. Desert

    You guys interview Namco about Knightfall but don’t review Enslaved or Naruto? What gives?

  29. You guys are back with a vengeance?

  30. Ok, drop TideGear and get the Megadev guys on the show on a weekly basis.

    Make it happen. NOW!

  31. Mr. NOLA are you importing Monster Hunter Portable 3rd? Or getting the new PSP when it comes here?

  32. I would LOVE to get that new Monster Hunter PSP, but it is A: too expensive and B: likely to be sold out at launch. I doubt I’ll import Portable 3rd, unless Capcom drags their feet localizing it. As long as it drops by this summer, I can wait.

  33. Can we get an official word from you guys? I see he posts his weekly picks.

  34. I don’t like puzzlers all that much, but I really like Knightfall 2.

  35. TideGear is not gone, he’s just very busy with his primary position at Rockin’ Android. He’s taken on a lot of responsibility there, and that’s a good thing – we support that. As of now, his participation is completely up to him – he can come and go as he pleases, and we’ll always have a spot for him on the show.

  36. Great show all around. Desert and NOLA both seemed really into it. I like the Bond discussion, trivia, and the interview.

  37. GoldFarmerAssassin

    That’s cool. But you guys do realize that he was using the podcast to plug Rockin’ Android all the time right?

  38. You’re joking, right?

    RIGHT!?!

  39. WUT? I know Mr. Lee’s work and he usually doesn’t make fun of games, but treats them pretty respectfully. What was the context?

  40. The Megadev interview was Mega-cool! Just cuz I liked the guys I downloaded their game. You should too!

  41. Whose gonna handle the Knight in the Nightmare review then?

  42. Haha, yes I am aware. I don’t mind either – I would be plugging my company too, if I thought anyone from the Defense and Intelligence industry was listening.

  43. All around great show this week.

    And it is “Ahstin Mahtin” If you don’t say it like that you’ll never have a shot of owning one.

  44. Great show. One of the better ones. The time off paid off!

  45. Well, at least one DOD contractor is 😉 Not that I have any scratch to work with.

  46. Loved hearing the Knightfall guys. They were great guests, one of the best you’ve had.

  47. My request for both was denied. “Believe it”- I was interested in covering both.

  48. If you recall TideGear was the one who turned me on to Knightfall. So his fingerprints are all over this episode even if his voice isn’t!

    Oh, and check out Crescent Pale Moon on PSN if you want to see what he’s up to, lately!

  49. Desert know games cause that’s all Desert do with his free time anymore 😉

    Wait why am I talking in 3rd person Caveman?

  50. Desert, you may want to get a new mic. Your sound quality isn’t as good as NOLA’s.

  51. Question sent for next week!

  52. Are you guys thinking about getting another person on the podcast? I’ve got 2 years podcasting exp and 20 years gaming.

    Let me know.

  53. I also have experience writing and podcasting. I’d love to be a guest on the show!

  54. I didn’t quite understand what Nola was saying about Goldeneye.

  55. Great assessment of Goldeneye Deagle. I agree it’s the best FPS on the system, I like it ever better than Metroid.

    Did you catch the guy who said it was better than Halo and MW’s single player campaigns?

  56. Good show guys!

  57. I love you and hate you in equal measure. Why did you have to get me hooked on Knightfall?!?

  58. I sure hope you. Deagle you’ve never seen a 3D movie and you run tech-gaming?

  59. MALE strippers?

  60. Thanks guys good podcast. Keep the interviews coming and the trivia hard!

  61. Thanks guys for all your work.

  62. I enjoyed the show. Great interview,

  63. I expect a lot of Black Friday talk next week!!!
