The Tech-Gaming Podcast, World 3-8

With SeanNOLA at either a cartographer’s convention or LARPing his way through a Monster Hunt (depending on which explanation you believe), the trusted team of TideGear and DesertEagle valiantly venture forth. The duo’s first stop is boot camp- where they receive Arma 2: Combined Operations‘ air and infantry based combat training, as well as get some range time with Sniper: Ghost Warrior. Later, we return to the mess hall for a helping of trivia and round out the day by opening the mail bag.

Additionally, Felix and Damjan from Wicked Smiles Studios join us to discuss their Xbox Indie title, Adrift . 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 awesome thing to do, also.

  1. NOLA you look fabulous! You guys should have a 800 number where people can leave clues.

  2. HAHAHA! Funniest pic yet!

  3. I’ll check my milk carton for NOLA.

  4. Downloading now. I’ll listen tomorrow. Week saved.

  5. I was beginning to think the week wouldn’t have a podcast.

  6. No- pick up the Motolov Cocktail, but put down the baby.

  7. The ‘cast isn’t streaming fast enough. Desert’s impression was pretty funny.

  8. You’re sure NOLA isn’t a hipster? Purses are the new thang.

  9. Whats roeshambo? I think that’s what Deagle said.

  10. Hot Damn, Desert’s A2 talk got me all fired up for Arma 2.

  11. Listened to first 10 minutes. You did not disappoint this week, guys!

  12. I’ll be listening on my way to work tomorrow.

  13. Electric Relaxation

    Jesus, NOLA get a purse that plays off your watch. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?

    Great show so far.

  14. My guess would be LARPing. He looks like a LARPer for sure.

  15. Is the interview at the end of the show?

  16. Ill listen tomorrow.

  17. So where was NOLA really?

  18. Have you checked the local Monster Hunter Anonymous centers?

  19. Check Deagle’s basement. You’ll find him there, hopefully not in pieces.

  20. Notice how no reward is offered. Cheapasses!

  21. The two did a pretty good job without NOLA!

  22. Man, I wish I had a PC that could handle Arma 2!

  23. Can someone kidnap Marcus the PSP kids instead?

  24. Just downloaded Adrift. Can your boat even kill the enemy boats?

    Also, the voice acting is recorded pretty badly. Lots of clipping.

  25. 1:15 this week with a developer interview?!? I want my double N NOLA back!

  26. Red Faction Guerrilla should be in the show notes too. I can’t wait for the sequel.

  27. Every show should have a developer interview. Thats my request.

    You guys are good interviewers BTW.

  28. Good show this week.

  29. I had to go to the ESRI User Conference for my day-job. So yes, I really was at a cartographers’ convention.

  30. A little late, but I’ll take it!

  31. Tide needs to play some new games! Keep it current.

  32. How come you guys never reviewed Deathsmiles?!?

  33. I thought that was Tidegears/Deserts sense of humor!

  34. puh-leeeze. I’m not anonymous!

  35. Agreed that little smartass is annoying.

  36. I have no interest in Arma 2 from all the military talk. Stick with the JRPG’s Deagle.

  37. I usually like at least a 3 or 4 person roundtable, but Tide and Deagle held their own this week.

    Is Deagle the only one who hasn’t missed a podcast?

  38. That’s a might weird gun holster, SeanNOLA!

  39. Show should be twice as long!

  40. The guys from Wicked Smile seem determined. Heading over to my 360 to check their game out.

  41. Can someone tell me what the LARPing is?

  42. Shopping Samurai

    Will SN be back next week?

  43. What kind of video card in needed to play Arma 2 properly?

  44. I hope Kevin Butler kicks his ass one day 😉

  45. Best of luck to the Wicked Smiles guys! It’s not easy being a Indie dev- I’ve been struggling for three years, now.

  46. Yeah, the military games get old really quick. I like when you branch out to other things.

  47. How come you guys keep the same song for the intro?

  48. I swear I’m listening to the show today. You guys got me a week behind!

  49. I hope the double N returns for next week.
