The Tech-Gaming Podcast, 4-4: Hand Jiving Makes Me Happy

This week on the podcast, wholesome dances are reappropriated into perverted innuendo, innocuous games receive a thorough berating,  and impressions abound. With Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, Ace Combat: Joint Strike, and Phantasy Star Portable 2 on our playlists, there’s much to discuss, yet we still squeeze in a our beloved trivia segment as well as answer reader mail.

Don’t forget to send your questions for our next mailbag, and subscribe to the Tech-Gaming Podcast on iTunes. Leaving a review would be an cool thing to do; and keep us from begging for feedback every show.

  2. Wednesday just got a little bit better.

  3. I hope there’s no hand jiving during the show.

  4. listening for the Ace Combat: Joint Strike talk. I bet its going to be Deagle.

  5. Total Cagcast title.

  6. New opening theme is cool. Someone made it for you guys?

  7. New podcast, woowoo!

  8. Hell yes, some PSP2 talk. By that I don’t mean new sony hardware.

  9. I’m happy to contribute for my favorite crew! Enjoy people, and theres more to come!

  10. A Phil Collins mention is like Another Day in Paradise, and fills me with a Groovy Kind of Love.

  11. SeanBaby would not approve of you.

  12. no, hell f’ing yes!

  13. thanks for the PSA Deagle, I was also stuck for a while on that Knight.

  14. You guys have 8,000 listeners? WOW!

  15. Nola you never played or enjoyed Pathway to Glory? Shame, young man, shame!

  16. NOLA YOU SUCK. That freaked the shit out of me!!!

    I had to listen three or four times.

  17. Thank you very much! It’s really cool to get fan stuff in the mail!

  18. What did you guys think of the Vanquish demo?

  19. man, that game is smoother than Lara Croft’s ass. I want!

  20. I got some small ticking packages for you, Sean for hating on NIS 😉

  21. Are you guys going to review VC2? Whos on that one?

  22. HAHA! I just busted a gut laughing!

    Mission accomplished!

  23. Well, episode 4-3 was downloaded 7,823 times. I hope it’s not a single person listening to us over and over 😉

  24. No hand jives for you.

    Sorry, I cant resist. I’m the same way with books and sometimes games.

  25. I stopped playing and just heard you could add more guys. The dudes on Weekend Confirmed talked about this too, so don’t feels bad deserts.

  26. guys- should I buy Theme Hospital? Did you ever play the PS1 version?

  27. Slow day at work. I could use a podcast and a nice slow hand jive right now.

  28. I’m going to try to purchase it today if I have time. NOLA should be receiving a review copy.

    Bottom line, if you even mildly interested in SRPGs, it well worth your money.

  29. I can’t wait for the game. Minor points aside (I don’t want/need auto aim for my sniper rifle) is undeniably impressive. Platinum is slowly becoming one of my favorite modern developers.

  30. I expected Take a Look at Me Now as the outro.

  31. Is your Phil Collin appreciate genuine or from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories?

  32. Good show so far. Ill listen to the rest after lunch.

  33. I got a question for the next podcast- what kind of clothes brands do you like? Do you have a lot of game shirts?

  34. Great work, guys!

  35. Dude, can I just say the Capcom Classic Collection for PSP is so worth in. $10 is a steal for an retronaut.

  36. Do you guys ever talk about anything beside VIDEOGAMES on the show? I notice other podcasts do.

  37. Hand jives on the house! Woo-hoo!

  38. good show, but Adam should try to play something more recent than Borderlands.

  39. Its me- I download each show repeatedly.

  40. Hell yeah. I like getting new episodes during the week.

  41. The PC version is the way to go on this. The graphics are better.

  42. funny show this week. NOLA gets a demotion for sure 🙂

  43. Theme Hospital Review: Theme Hospital is not nearly as good as Front Mission 3, which was released on the European PSN Store literally hours before we got Theme Hospital over here. This is a tragedy. An Emmer Effing TRAGEDY!

  44. WHAAAAA?!

    NOLA deserves a PROmotion. And a raise. And a cookie.

  45. Please those wankers at Sqeenix. The are so greedy with their old games.

  46. How about some trivia on games we might know something about?!?

  47. Yes, guys there is music when your Pokemon evolve.

  48. Haha, thanks. Yes, I put it at the end of the episode to let Adam know that he was right.

  49. thats not what Adam says.

  50. Hm. I never saw this game when I had my NGage. It looks pretty cool. If I still had one, I’d have to try it.

  51. That was the killer-app.

  52. thanks for the show notes. Way overdue.

  53. Dont really know why, but this episode (or world) was lacking.

    A few tips:

    – TideGear should play more and newer games. At least stick with games we haven’t heard of. Talking about a six-month old game isn’t retro or new.

    – Deagle- You’re cool, but sometimes you seem to get flustered. Maybe try writing down what you’re going to say- it’s works well in the trivia section.

    – SeanNOLA- It’s ok to talk at length, but not cool to interrupt all the time. Let people speak, and take your time, too.

  54. I’m in need of a hand jive. Any takers?

  55. Good show this week.

  56. how about oatmeal?

  57. the “You guys ever handjive?” bit had me laughing out loud. People thought I was crazy.

  58. question send. Please consider answering it!

  59. did you get it off the euro PSN store, then?

  60. It’s a shame that Gamera 2000 never came out here.

  61. Almost 90 minutes. yo guys know that’s the goal, right?

  62. Lol at the jive talk.

  63. You haven’t had guests in a while. Time to make this happen!

  64. Good show this week.

  65. Pokemon have evolution music. Duh!

  66. I’ll take anything over an hour.

  67. That was my favorite part, too.

  68. Great show. I listened 1.5x when mt ipod touch lost the place. Good stuff.

  69. Pretty good show this week.

  70. Tough trivia this week!
