The Tech-Gaming Podcast, World 2-7

With MamaNOLA in town, Sean goes on hiatus this week, compelling DesertEagle and TideGear to forge ahead valiantly. Without our beloved Monster Hunter, the duo channels their feminine side, discussing the merits of Sally’s Salon and similar time-management titles. Before things get too surreal, we find serenity in discussions of Echo Shift, Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love and Sushi Go Round and whether years of playing Brain Age games have actually made us any smarter. Perhaps those cerebral diversions may assist listeners with this week’s taxing trivia.

  7. I can usually tell in the first couple minutes if I wil like the show. I’m going to enjoy this one it seems.

  8. I had the same though about Brain Age. Why am I not a math genius yet? Why cant I figure out the proper tip amount?

    Answer- cause my phone does it for me.

  9. No SNOLA is a bit disappointing, I must say.

  10. What a lens flare? When someone takes your picture? You guys aren’t that big…

  11. Of course it doesn’t. Otherwise teacher would just give them out to kids, while they kick back all day.

  12. No streaming with the iPad kind of sucks. Fix it!

  13. Wat, Karnov makes a drug joke? No way!

  14. MommaNola should have been on the show. You guys missed a great chance.

  15. That’s touching, but I give this episode my seal of approval; it’s a good listen. Plus, I did all the editing, so it’s kinda like I’m there in spirit.

  25. You should put one on your yawns in when editing the show.

  26. Yeah, I want to play Exploding Explosions

  27. I was going to record an opening bumper, since Adam and Rob forgot, but I didn’t have a mic at the office.

  28. I think it’s time for some new music. At least for the outro.

  29. I’ll give ya a listen, even those NONE of the games mentioned interest me.

  30. Protip: In a pinch, you can use earphones. Same pricipal, but in reverse.

  33. You guys are the new BOMB-cast.

  34. “Adam and Rob” just dont sound as good as Tide and Desert.

  35. Yeah, but it will sound like shit.

  37. I guess I’m Curly, then?

    “Hey Moe, Hey Moe!”

  38. I actually talk about liking it. The insanity!

  39. I like the cleaner DesertEagle, but I also like having Sean on board.

  40. I agree with Tide, this week’s trivia was way too hard.

  41. I’m waiting for the episode where TideGear talks to himself and we just listen n.

    Good show as always my gaming gurus!

  44. Hopefully, we’ll be getting back to Thursday releases!

  45. I thought the new releases are on Sunday.

  47. Question for next week- Do you guys read comics? If so which ones?

  48. The day the podcast is released. It’s usually Thursday or Friday.

  49. My question is for the three of you-

    NOLA, How many hours would you say you put into the whole Monster Hunter Series.

    Tide, same question, but with Knights of the Nightmare.

    Desert, you many hours in military FPS games?

  50. Q: Imagine a world of games that only use motion control.

    Do you join the pack, cut back on your gaming, find a new hobby, or give completely.

  51. I have a question!

    Whats the most important part of a game for you personally? Graphics, sounds, story, characters, etc.
