Podcast 5-8: Only as Old as Deagle Feels

In our first podcast of the new year, DesertEagle discusses House of Dead Ninjas, A Space Shooter for Two Dollars, Sky Fighters, and Hot Shot Shorties, while Samurage offers an discerning comparison between Limbo and Mirror’s Edge. Meanwhile, SeanNOLA scours the seedy streets of Los Angeles for a bargain-priced PSPGo. We also interview Aaron from the Korea Creative Content Agency, who offers some insights on the latest free-to-play games headed to our shores. As always, we offer our weekly dose of gaming trivia as well as insightful answers to listener questions!

  1. ’bout time we get a new podcast 😉

    Thanks, peeps!G

  2. SAGURAI may be a keeper.

  3. Deagle you haven’t heard of Hilary Goldstein?

    Just how old are you?

  4. He’s the same age as CheapyD, ancient. Like 37 or 38.

  5. So why did you guys start with the mailbag this time?

  6. Thanks for the shoutout!

    It’s Mah-Ken, BTW like SNOLA said.

  7. Whats up with the Iron Maiden-style art this weak? Is that Deagle LARPing at the senior citizens home?

  8. ZHP is like Demon’s Souls? Like any Rogue-like is?

  9. You ‘tards- Collette Bennett is from D-Toid.

  10. I think Garnett Lee has a few years on you Deagle!

  11. rubies are the new jrpgs, or what?

  12. Shit! that is OLD! No wonder why he know all the old, retro stuff.

  13. SeanNOLA if you’re brother is friends with Colette, he is a gamer? You should have him on the show!

  14. I’ll listen later today. Great artwork this week!

  15. Happy new year, T-G crew! Great show- Samurage makes for a awesome addition. I don’t even miss that other guy.

  16. Easy there. I’ll be 42 next month.

  17. HAHA- Old ass Eddie! Hellz Yeah!

  18. No Country for Old Gamers

    Great title this week. Which show has the Sky Fighters impressions from NOLA? How did I miss this?

  19. NOLA- What are you going to do with your UMD games.

  20. Angry Birds is much better on the Mac, BTW. No problems at all.

  21. I stopped buying UMDs a while back – I’ve always preferred downloads. The discs I still have are all older games or imports, like Rockman: Dash 1&2, so I kept my old PSP around to play those.

  22. It’s Cohen the Barbarian, from Discworld!

  23. I’ll take over an hour and a half of gaming chatter!

    XBox trivia was tough this week! Maybe it’s the forgotten console.

  24. I’ll take over an hour and a half of gaming chatter!

    XBox trivia was tough this week! Maybe it’s the forgotten console.

  25. Something I need to play. Is it really as funny as everybody says it is?

  26. I haven’t talked to him since we recorded that episode, but I’ll ask. Like I said, she looks awfully familiar, and I can’t imagine where else I would have met her, unless she went to Tulane.

  27. I want to know how long each member has been playing games for?

    For me? 26 years! I’m 31…

  28. lulz. You don’t KNOW minor members of the gaming press? What’s wrong with you?!? 😉

  29. I think he was just screwing around, giving him shit for having a girls name.

  30. The games were alright, but the books are fantastic! I strongly suggest any of the books in the “Death” story arc (Mort, Reaper Man, Soul Music, HogFather), but they’re all good.

  31. Why no comments from Sage or Deagle? Is he doing Tai Chi in the park?

  32. Good show this week. I’m liking the new trio.

  33. I’ll probably listen when I’m gaming tomorrow (day off)

  34. Drunken night at the Barcade?

  35. Damn! Ancient? You’re crushing my fragile ego.

    I take comfort in knowing I’m closer to a full retirement when I can game all day and not have a bathroom break thanks to Depends ‘undergarments’. 🙂

  36. SeanNOLA dislikes linearity and stagnancy. That’s my best guess.

  37. I don’t think so at all.

    In all fairness, I make some wild comparisons, which NOLA loves to call me out on.

  38. No Country for Old Gamers

    Thanks!

  39. So Deagle has rolled a “7” on a six-sided die?

  40. Nope, he’s giving fire back to the gods.

    Don’t ask.

  41. Far geekier than any JRPG, if you ask me. I’ve tried to get into the books at least twice.

  42. Dead Ninjas is pretty freaking cool. Thanks for the heads up.

  43. No, but if she was there before Katrina, I could very well have seen her at GameKlub.

  44. I can see it now. It’s only a matter of time before Sage starts plugging something, like TideGear did.

  45. UN Squadrun is a must play game, people! Recognize.

    Deagle- on the CAGcast, Ship said he played 176 games this year. What about you?

  46. ZHP is nothing like Demon’s Souls. And why the hell didn’t Deagle play Demon’s Souls?

  47. Pretty good show this week. You guys make a good team.

  48. Cause who doesn’t love anti-Semitic jokes?

    Not me!

  49. Hot Shot Shorties are pretty cool, even if the games are broken up for no reason. Soccer is my favorite following by….book sorting.

  50. Three jobs for Sage?

    Thanks for the info on the Korean games- I’m hooked on Op 7 right now.

  51. God, One Chance was powerful. Everyone should play it.

  52. My favorite part of the show was when Deagle called Sean Jerkland for making fun of his passion for sappy Japanese games.

    BTW- Metroid M- Best Wii games of the year!

  53. Word to your Mothra!

  54. Rocking Battle Toads outro almost blew out my ear drums.

  55. I guess she included T-G as one of them.

  56. I like the backwards show!

  57. I like Samurage’s comments- I just wish they were about newer games.

  58. First time listener. Good show so far,

  59. One Chance was sort of cool, but I wish you could make more decisions. Why can’t I save my wife at the expense of the world?

  60. Along with Disgaea? What a hater?

  61. Deagle, where the hell is the Legends of War review?

  62. PLEASE REVIEW GHOST TRICK: PHANTOM DETECTIVE!!!

  63. WORD!!!!!!!

  64. Samurage comments, but only on Deagle’s message?!? Unfair.

  65. One Chance is pretty cold. I ended up dying alone.

  66. lo, I’m sorry! It’s been a really packed and busy week, I’ll make sure to comment on other comments too:-)

  67. Sorry for the bad joke at your name’s expense. Thanks for writing in!

  68. LOL. No problemo!

  69. I like you better than TideGear already!

  70. in your country is switching to winter time?
