The Tech-Gaming Podcast, World 2-2

This week DesertEagle and SeanNOLA talk about a trio of ugly games- Risen, Last Rebellion, and Ragnarock while desperately trying to avoid any mention of flatulence on amusement park rides. Meanwhile, TideGear gives his impressions of The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom, while trying to help the show maintain its sense of civility. Add a tantalizing selection of trivia and iphone app overviews, simmer for ninety minutes, and the show is ready to be savored by distinguished eardrums. Don’t forget to send your questions for our next mailbag, and subscribe to the Tech-Gaming Podcast on iTunes.

  58. Desert was pretty funny in this one.

  59. amazing.

  60. Love the 6 degrees of Mr. Driller game.

    Here’s one for you: Thrill Kill

  61. NICE TRY, MYSTIC!
    Thrill Kill was developed by Paradox Development with the intent of being published by Virgin Interactive.
    Virgin Interactive published several Capcom games on the PC in Europe, including the Street Fighter games. Ken was in Namco X Capcom for the PS2, alongside Taizo Hori, the true name of Dig Dug, Father of Mr Driller. BAM!

  62. Wow. Did you look any of that up?

  63. Of course! Jeez, I play a lot of games, but I’m not Rainman!

  64. At least you don’t forget the name of name of half the games you’re played in the last week.

  65. You guys have too much time on your hands 😉

    That’s a good thing, btw.

  66. It’s the straight truth. TideGear and SeanNOLA do all the editing.

  67. I love you! Sorry, I don’t follow your storyline, though.

  68. LOL! Whose responsible for such handiwork? We need to put those resources to work, as I’m artistically challenged.

  69. You mean my looks, right?

  70. You guys talk about Yakuza 3 but not that other game coming out on the same day. Why?!?!

  71. Jeremy Parish and Co spend 2 hours talking about it on Active Time Babble this week. I think it’s being well represented.

  72. Did Adam ever find dinner? What a cliffhanger!

  73. Some chatter at the end of the show.

  74. Tester bites it. What a lame piece of crap.

  75. Yeah, there’s no shortage of FFXIII discussion.

  76. A lot of shit talking by NOLA these days.

  77. If the tester was on TV it would have been canceled by now.

  78. Adam Milecki - TideGear

    More like two hours, though we could go much longer!

  79. Adam Milecki - TideGear

    Haha, yeah, my music theory background is rusty and near-nonexistant, but I think it’s in minor key.

    Here’s the original chime…

  80. Adam Milecki - TideGear

    He’s a part of the show!

  81. Adam Milecki - TideGear

    Good obs! Lately, I’ve been cobbling together crude outlines beforehand.

  82. Adam Milecki - TideGear

    That was DE and I in 50 years.

  83. Adam Milecki - TideGear

    Haha, I was kidding. They just kept saying saddening things!

  84. Adam Milecki - TideGear

    Oh man, I bust up when I saw this!

    It’s funny because it’s true. Last time someone crossed me, Sean shoved a giant drill through their abdomen.

  85. Adam Milecki - TideGear

    I meant it to mean “totally destroy”.

  86. Adam Milecki - TideGear

    Spoiler!… Meatball sandwich!

  87. Adam Milecki - TideGear

    Susumu! Say hi to the other drillers for me!

  88. Do you like the music apps like Korg-DS 10 though?

  89. That’s my kind of talk. Well the innuendo was funny, too.

  90. Very creative.

  91. Thanks for the trivia!

  92. How many listeners do you guys have? I see a lot of comments.

  93. Son of Chuck Norris

    His reviews are good enough for me! Having him on a podcast is just gravy. BTW- You other guys are great, but I’d love more written work!

  94. Is Naruto in the win area?

    Believe it!

  95. Wow, real life Yazuka 3!
