Podcast 5-7: Pissed At Prinnies

This week DesertEagle agonizes over Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood!,  relaxes with The World of Keflings, while SeanNOLA dons a pair of body-hugging tights to fight evil in DC Universe Online. Meanwhile, Sage offers a captivating comparison between Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Batman: Arkham Asylum. Stay tuned for our interview with Matthew Doucette, producer and co-founder of Xona Games, as he discusses Decimation X3, and Score Rush, as well as our usual helping of gaming trivia and answers to listener  mail.

  1. First! Is that one of your houses?

  2. Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas and all that good stuff. I’ll be listening later today.

  3. The Hanukkah’s been over for almost two week but I’ll take it!

    I bet the pissed at Prinnies is more Disgaea rage from SNOLA. Woohoo!

  4. I wish! After Deagle sent me that image, I started thinking of doing that for next year!

  5. No Karnov this show? No Vagrant Story, No MGS talk? Boo!

  6. Wait no new nick for Sage… (aww)

  7. You may be surprised 😉

  8. Even better would be a sub-set of the Pac-Mac maze on a roof.

  9. What? Whose eating Deagle, SeanNOLA and Sage? Tidegear?!?!

  10. If Sage tried Disgaea and doesn’t like it, I may be a little bit sad. But It will make for one fun podcast.

  11. Well- I’m blue so I’m vulnerable, but NOLA isn’t coming to save me. Just look at his heaven-ward eyes. He’s outta here.

  12. Nice holiday intro!

  13. I didn’t hear the difference between the Morris-Greens. Am I deaf?

    Thanks for the shoutout!

  14. NOLA, how did you get in the DCOU beta? Did you get a code? If you have any extras, may I…

  15. Deagle, WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU WANT TO BE AQUAMAN?

  16. A robot whose weakness is gadgetry? That sounds funny.

    Free for PS+ would be cool.

  17. I’m in PlayStation Plus, there buddy. Almost worth it for the betas.

  18. SNOLA in tights? I don’t want to think about it.

    Really good chemistry between the hosts. I think Sage is a keeper.

  19. Good sound quality this time. Deagle- did you get a new mic.

  20. I got the feeling, people who have lived in New Orleans don’t like talking about Mardi Gras.

  21. I get a kick out of how serious SeanNOLA gets about Megaman and Monster Hunter.

  22. Oh Shit. Deagle’s not loving a NIS game?

  23. Just bought both Score Rush and Decimation X3. Both are really great games, and a steal for the price.

    I liked the discussion of environments/architecture in games.

  24. Yea, I was caught a little off-guard when DEagle asked about that. My Pre-Katrina Masters Thesis was going to be about “Virtual Architecture,” so I should have come prepared. Oh well.

  25. Cause you can talk to fish and tell them to jump into deep fat fryers. Mmmm.

  26. It would be awesome if you brought in one discussion point per week; something like this with a bit more depth than the mailbag questions.

  27. Great show this week. I’ll have to check out those two Xona games. The interview as pretty good this week.

  28. I really doubt the game (Prinny 2) is that hard. I’ve read two previews and they didn’t mention it being really difficult.

  29. No Country for Old Gamers

    For the first time, I noticed Deagle writes likes he speaks. Pretty good show this week.

  30. I’ll listen tonight.

  31. Agreed. The creator of the game sounded pretty cool. I’m downloading the demos right now.

  32. I got a bigger kick when he was wrong about MegaMan a few minutes later.

  33. Although I’m agnostic, have a great holiday, all. I hope you get a break from playing all these games.

  34. Of course you are, you PSfanboy!

  35. This one hot all he right notes. Great trivia, interview and talk. I Love the shoutouts!

  36. I have to check out this Amnesia- I’m glad you’re finally giving PC games some love.

  37. No Adam this week? WHY?

  38. The first one was next to impossible. I was only able to get to the third boss after a ton of retries.

  39. You guys were a bit too serious in this show. Keep it funny (A peepee joke never killed anyone)

  40. Decimation X3 kicks ass. That is all.

  41. One question: Did you three deliberately try to avoid controversy after last week’s HHG discussion?

  42. Sage, don’t be afraid to lead things off!

  43. Thanks so much for the mention!

    And I’m glad Deagle’s remembers the game. Did you ever play it?

    One question- will there be a show next week? I’m hoping for it.

  44. My grandmother was killed by a reckless pee-pee joke, you insensitive bastard!

  45. Just bought Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Pretty cool so far, but IO wish there was an option to eliminate the ‘motion’ controls to open doors and interact with things.

  46. Yep, between the old-school jumping and level layouts, the first game was pretty damn hard. I doubt too many Disgaea fans saw the closing credits.

    When I first heard about the Baby mode, I thought they fixed that problem. Guess not.

  47. So did you beat Prinny 2? What kind of undies does Etna wear.

  48. DCUO sounds like a dud. I hope they can fix things before the real game goes live. How are the graphics?

  49. I’ll listen later today. Did the Skype outage affect the show at all?

  50. Dude, his sounds like another Sony turd. I give it 6 months to live tops. There’s a reason why MMOs are on consoles.

  51. Now everyone on the podcast hates Prinnies? How the hell did this happen?!?

  52. So what does TideGear do instead of recording the podcast? Inquiring minds want to know!

  53. 15GB in 2 hours? What kind of connection do you have SNOLA?

  54. No Hyperdimension Neptunia talk fro Deagle? He must have the holiday blues.

  55. I expect more Prinny 2 talk next week, if you stuck with it.

  56. – Nice gentle Christmas music.

    – Interest in Amnesic- maybe I’ll get it if there’s ever a Steam sale.

    – How the hell did Deagle not know about D4’s map editor.

    – Nobi Nobi Boy sucks.

  57. BTW- If anyone seen that $50 I lost at the PX, please let me know 🙂

  58. I’m glad I’m not the only one with parent who don’t understand my fascination with games.

  59. I have. Get this- last night I fought a boss named Sage who was a Samurai. He kicked my Prinny ass repeatedly. I lost 30 lives before giving up in frustration.

  60. too weird. Maybe NIS knew something you didn’t!

  61. If there’s ever a crazed bald otaku in one of their games- they had better name him, “Deagle” for the Western release!!!

  62. Are you serious?? I wonder if that’s fate regarding my new nickname….crazy.

  63. Whats up with the contest?

  64. No Xmas posts? Bah, bumbug!

  65. Hey SeanNOLA did you ever meet/hang out with Colette Bennett in New Orleans?
