Podcast 6-9: Everyone Falls for Paper Dolls

This week SeanNOLA offers impressions on Playstation Move Heroes and assails the notion of ‘paper dolls’ in modern RPGs, while Samurage finds gratification in Anomaly: Warzone Earth. Meanwhile DesertEagle dusts off his Move controller to join in Time Crisis: Razing Storm‘s hyper-masculinity. Somehow, the crew finds time to discuss Samurai Warriors: Chronicles, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars, and Spanky the Monkey before moving on to trivia and a answering reader mail.

  1. thanks guys. downloading now, even though it’s not up on iTiunes yet.

  2. There a game called Spanky the Monkey? This better be good. Deagle, don’t disappoint me.

  3. Derek Zoolander is in Gears of War? Wheres the Blue Steel DLC pak?

  4. Geek Squad Killer

    second?

    loving the comic art. I hope you stick with it.

  5. Not of the three have a ‘hawk. Minor epic fail 😉

  6. Just a FYI- most other podcasts at least tell people where they stole the music from. Maybe you should as well.

  7. whats this, before the weekend? Before even WC goes live? You cutthroat bastards!

  8. Hopefully, this won’t be 6-4 again 😉

  9. I almost bought Playstation Move Heroes. looking forward to your impressions, NOLA.

  10. More Sage please! I need to here more from my potential future common-law wife 😉

  11. How come the old art shows up when I listen?

    Sage as host, keep that coming.

  12. Karnov’s Korner would be great for a news segment.

  13. I wasn’t embarrassed, guys!

    Actually, I was a bit honored by the mention.

  14. Primal Ice Cream

    Wait, there are actual ninjas?

    Deagle- First rule of the Tech-Gaming podcast is not to mention “the list”

  15. Deagle, it’s ok. I don’t like touch my DS screen.

  16. Deagle: What are you doing to have greasy hands? Hide that vasoline!

    “Rise in sausage sales.” LOLs

  17. Question for next week:

    What do you think about the Nintendo HD console talk.

  18. Did NOLA call it Heroes on the Move?

  19. I’m liking Sage as host, even when Desert tries to take over.

    BTW- Is anyone counting his giggles this week?

  20. Yeah, he probably confused it with its old name.

    That’s what happens when you change the name of your game a few weeks before launch!!!

  21. not quite 90 minutes. Whats up with that?

  22. Wait was this an old game or a flash game?

    Sage talks about monkeys for two weeks straight- I sense a trend.

  23. Haha, WOW! I’m surprised no one corrected me on the show!

    But yea, “PlayStation Move Heroes” is just about the worst name ever.

  24. It could have been “PlayStation Home Heroes with Move support” that might have been the biggest man-made disaster ever.

  25. Keep the eternal flame burning until our indie hero returns!

  26. Would a “Minor Epic Fail” just be considered a “Fail?”

  27. thats what she said.

  28. You should have called this show Podcast Heroes on the Move.

  29. Deagle’s response to when Sage talked about knowing ninjas was so funny I spit out my Pepsi over my keyboard. Thanks guys.

    Deagle- You really don’t know any ninjas?!?!?

  30. Say you were an assassin for hire? Would YOU let your friends know? I wouldn’t…

  31. If an fail is a 1 and an epic fail is a 10, a minor epic fail would be a 8 on the fail scale.

  32. That proved it, Deagle IS a hitman. I saw his twitter pic, alright.

  33. I still don’t know what a paper doll is, and I’ve played at least 30 JRPGs.

  34. Hmm, might need to try Time Crisis now. $30 is the right price.

  35. Second for Sage as host, I like Deagle, but I also like an occasional change.

  36. Anomaly: Warzone Earth does kick ass. Nice find with that one.

  37. No interview this week 🙁

  38. Wow. Sounds like it’s still pretty major then.

  39. Lol, I hosted! What more do you want? Also, don’t we have to live in the same place for seven years to be common law 😉 I don’t think the internet connections have yet been defined as boundaries acceptable for common law marriage.

  40. Oh good, I’m glad someone else liked it! Review soon.

  41. Sean you found Spanky Monkey music!! I’m so thrilled by that, it was great to hear the sounds of my past. 😉

  42. Also for the record, everyone, the game is called Spanky’s Quest. Check it out if you still have an SNeS. It was one of those games that if you beat, and took a picture of the end screen, they’d send you a prize. sigh, i miss the old days of gaming sometimes.

  43. It that was the case I’d be married to several pr0n stars by now.

  44. That was a Natsume game, so I suspect Deagle turning you on to that one.

  45. Nope, that was my find. I played that way back in the day. Before there were podcasts, lol. Way before I knew deagle.

  46. Is suckerpunch really as bad as people are saying? I still want to see it. Maybe I should wait for video?

  47. Question for next week: What are you spending your tax refund check on?

  48. Ah, so NOLA does the podcast! How about music credits Sean?

  49. Wait, the guys in Time Crisis are too manly for Deagle????

  50. You guys (specially Deagle) hear what CheapyD said about the 3DS? You agree?

    Basically, we called it a gimmick and a toy.

  51. Wait Slim Jims are some greasy ass peices of mystery meat. Why the hell would you use one as a stylus?

  52. Need to catch up on my shows. I’ll admit it.

  53. Have you guys ever considered a live show, with a chat room for instant questions?

  54. Did you ever get the prize? What was it?
