Podcast 6-8: Nothing But Ninjas

This week the shuriken-throwing, tabi-wearing trio deliver stealthy impressions of 3rd Birthday, Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars, Super Street Fighter IV 3D multiplayer, Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, as well as Streets of Rage Remake. Eutechnyx’s Ed Martin stops by to trade paint and queries  on NASCAR 2011: The Game, before we don our fukumen for a special shinobi-inspired trivia segment.

  1. What happened with the show? I got an email and then I noticed it was down last night.

  2. Someone beat me to “First?”.

    WHY?

  3. Why isn’t Deagle host? Dammit Man, step up!

  4. Damn, Sektor! Way to get on the show.

  5. Woodsy Owl. Ha, what a hoot.

    Shows off to a great start, so far.

  6. Someone need to photoshop Sektor with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. NOW!

  7. Waffles For Supper

    Awesome show so far. You guys are kicking ass!

  8. BTW- Since SeanNOLA knows it all, he probably knows this. Did you know Paraside Eve was Hideaki Sena first book. He wrote it while he was a grad student in Biology and was inspired after long nights of studying.

  9. I thought you were trying to get a repeat past us. Much better.

  10. oh. my. god.

    I just wanted to know more about Sage. You dont hear from many female hardcore gamers you know. It wasnt a marriage proposal. You guys embarrassed me but thats ok. We ninjas can deal with it!!!!!

  11. Great show so far. I’m liking it.

  12. You must have been too busy puffing on that pipe-weed 😉

  13. Please keep the interviews coming Deagle. I really like those. Oh and the trivia aint too bad wither.

  14. Desert- are you going to give 3rd B-Day a full review.

  15. More TitS jokes needed. No, not the title- talking about the cooking, bad cooking…

  16. I luv me some ninjas.

  17. Wii version of Streets of Rage remake isn’t out yet 🙁

    Damn you NOLA.

  18. Good all around episode- game info, interview, trivia, and freaking NINJAS

  19. Man, Desert, you have a girly giggle for having such a deep voice.

  20. Sounds like your parents were artsy-fartsy Sage. Mine too.

  21. Stretch Armstrong

    HAHA. Propos-ality!

  22. Yep, I’ve noticed that too. It’s his inner teenage girl.

  23. Hear that NOLA? Thats the masses crying out for their humorless leader!

  24. Due to technical problems, each episode in our library got converted to episodes of 6-6. Blame the Sony hackers, Pennyman, or Caesar’s Ghost- just don’t accuse me. 😉

  25. I know- I don’t know where that comes from. I like nonesense’s theory, though.

  26. Well, I know now! Also, did YOU know that “Hideaki Sena” is an anagram for “Hi Ked, a Sean”?

  27. What about a Samurage hosted show?!?

  28. Good one this week.

  29. What happened to my comment? Why was it deleted? I didn’t say anything mean/vulgar/stupid.

  30. hippie parent here too. Is there a trend?

  31. You guys destroyed Joystiqs cast this week. No hairdryers at all.

  32. Some weeks the show is better that others. Thus was one of those weeks.

  33. I’ll be listening today. Hope it lives up to the comments.

  34. Wouldn’t Samurage hate ninjas?

  35. Shark boy talk had me rolling. Think he has veneers now?

  36. I had a Cybiko Xtreme. Shit was big at my school.

  37. Thanks for the shoutout!

  38. Deagle, you must be keeping it real. Thats one crazy neighborhood.

  39. Hey the show didn’t end on a sad/down note this week. WTF?

  40. Do Texas Ninjas fling a lone throwing star?

  41. Ok, Deagle’s “Why didn’t you just take a bat to the shark-kid” stands in sharp contrast to the JRPG loving softy I know.

    Your now a bit cooler in my book.

  42. You win the internet, sir!
    I just peed myself laughing…then I was terrified.

  43. I imagine little sisters to look something like that.

  44. Obviously, Desert wasn’t bullied as a kid, because he would have known that direct confrontation wouldn’t be an option. Kids like Sharkboy have friends- fiends like that travel in packs, and you can’t take on all of them.

  45. Desert, thats pretty irresponsible to tell kids to use lethal acts of violence when they get something stolen from them. You should know better. You might have younger listeners,

  46. Ou can bet if Nola ever makes a game, sharkboy will be a miniboss if not the final battle.

  47. question for next show sent!

  48. great art this week. We need a tech-gaming comic.

  49. Back down and you’ll always get picked up. One day you have to man up.

  50. hating on GW is so last year and whiney.

  51. hahahahahah. I love this! 🙂

  52. Just kidding Sektor. Thank you for the interest, and please feel free to send future questions, too. 🙂

  53. yeah my dad was a hippie guy, surf-bum. And a DA lawyer in cali. Go figure indeed.

  54. HAHA, story on next podcast. Puh-lease.

  55. out of the last 10 or so shows this ones my favorite. good work.

  56. Podcast question- Do you have to use hyperbole in this industry “Epic failure” etc.

    Case in point: http://kotaku.com/#!5792074/kinect-for-netflix-is-a-catastrophe-microsoft-has-no-idea-what-to-do-with-kinect

    “Kinect for Netflix is a Catastrophe. Microsoft Has No Idea What to Do with Kinect”

  57. Thank you for mentioning me during the SSFIV:3DE discussion, Deagle! ^_^

    Since we played, I’ve been refining my Bison online. Anytime you’re ready for a rematch, just say the word. 😀

  58. As NOLA says, “WORD!”

    Thanks in advance for supplying my recommended weekly intake of humiliation 😉

  59. Where can I get in on the action?
