Podcast 5-2: Yars Wars

This week, Tech-Gaming’s beloved trio offers impressions of Call of Duty: Black Ops, Horde, Majin and The Forsaken Kingdom, Ys: The Oath in Felghana, as well as Atari Greatest Hits: Volume One. To discuss the recent PSP port of Knights in the Nightmare as well as The Cursed Crusade, we welcome Atlus’ Aram and Scott to the show, before wrapping everything up with a generous helping of game trivia.

    So Deagle, who do you love more NIS or Atlus?

  6. Are you guys back on the weekly schedule?

  7. Cool. Can’t wait to hear the Atlus interview.

    BTW- Did any of guys play Pokepark? If not- Why the hell not? You are all Pokefans!

  8. Question for next week: If each of you HAD to get a VG tattoo. What/who would you get?

  9. I really can’t believe TideGear is on the show.

    Hooray!

  10. Dude, find out how 101-in-1 Sports Party Megamix is selling!!!

  11. Petition Time!

    Sign below if you want TideGear on a regular basis!

    – slacker aka William

  12. THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  13. Yep! I’d like to hear more from him.

  14. I’ll listen on my way to work tommorrow.

  15. Good show so far. Thanks guys for getting right into the gaming talk and now messing around too much.

  16. scary conic is scary.

    It’s late I’ll listen tomorrow.

  17. Refreshing NukeCola

    Yep, more Karnov!

  18. no call of dootie jokes? I’m shocked.

    Deagles mic isn’t as loud as everyone elses.

  19. Where did the intro music come from?

  20. I’m in!

    Good show this week!

  21. Good show put it seemed to fall apart a bit at the end.

  22. Is Sonic 4 really that bad?

  23. I’m superbusy today, but I’ll try to listen to part of the show.

    No one’s playing DKCR?

  24. All of the music this week is from the Ys: The Oath in Felghana soundtrack.

  25. Two shows in two weeks is pretty good. Lets keep that trend going.

    I need to play some Yars!

  26. Bought Knights/Nightmare to see what the fuss was about. I’m totally completely lost.

  27. Yes. We’re going to make some changes in the coming weeks that will help us to get podcasts to you guys on a more regular basis (and significantly improve the show at the same time).

  28. thanks, NOLA!

    I really enjoy listening to your show!

    I really like the interviews and trivia. Then help make the T-G show different.

  29. A bit of rock in the game? I’m surprised. Those must be from boss attacks.

    Also: Where was the Crescent Pale Mist talk, TideGear?

  30. My question for the show: Have you guys ever bought ANY non-game DLC? Avatar clothes, HOME stuff, themes?

  31. It’s passable – I guess “disappointing” would be a more accurate word than “bad.” It certainly isn’t worth $15. Maybe $5?

  32. One question: have you guys ever thought about a community game night?

  33. You need the explicit tag for Deagles singing.

  34. Where did NOLA have to go? Monster Hunting?

  35. Which one of you guys is most excited for the Tactics Ogre PSP remake.

  36. Thanks for the Atari discussion. I’m sure Yars Revenge will be in Vol. 2 unless they are making a third one.

  37. thanks guys. Was hoping for some Brotherhood talk, but oh well!

  38. Yeah, I’m actually looking forward to Desert’s review.

  39. That might be a cool idea. I suggest some kind of fighters like SSFIV

  40. Yes, TideGearsofWars Please!

  41. This weeks artwork is boo-Tay!

  42. Thanks guys. Great show.

  43. I love Atlus games- especially the Persona series. Thanks for turning me on to KiTN.

  44. I don’t know, I bought it and it’s ok, but not great. Sure they could have made new designs, but then things would have moved away from Sonic world.

    I’d say it’s worth $10.

  45. Here’s a vote for the Rocking Cockin’ Android.

  46. Agreed. Paying more than $10 for this means you are a fanboy.

  47. Bought Knights and the bonus game today. I ‘m hopeless lost but working my way through it.

  48. Great cast this week.

  49. Good interview with Atlus!

  50. No DLC games this week?

  51. World of Porncraft

    That stuff is a waste of time. Really charging people for a JPG? Thats got to be the greatest racket of all time.

  52. New podcast and new look? Hoorah!

    And TideGear’s back?

    Hip Hip Hooray!

  53. Wow, everything looks so white!

  54. How are the auditions going?

  55. Looks fun! Check it out Desert, looks like something you’d like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Gj3S4PXBAo

  56. Can we get some Onlive talk please? I’m interest in your take on it.

  57. Yep, reviews of the $99 console would be appreciated. I’m debating whether or not to get one.
