When there are floating heads
In your local group
Who you gonna call?
Star Soldier!
Though, the floating space heads do seem awfully productive. Maybe they contract at reasonable rates?

Show Notes

(01:30) Apparently the WWE sucked this year.  Who knew?

(04:00) Silly Metroid Prime.  The trilogy is available on the Wii U VC now, though.

(05:30) The Payday Bomb Heist DLC is actually pretty fun.  The dock's generally fun, and the forest a pretty big change in map layout.

(11:00) I can't believe we haven't linked this before.

(12:00) Dilbert is apparently Vulcan.

(14:00) Infamous problems.

(21:30) Civ 5's narrator is apparently William Morgan Sheppard, who primarily does voice acting for videogames.

(29:00) Fallen London is a vaguely Lovecraftian web based game.  Despite Geremy's answer to Zach's question, there's totally a character named Jack-of-Smiles.  It's pretty fun!

(40:00) Star Soldier, where the enemies forget they're not in Galaga.  This game has big problems with telegraphing collision boundaries.

(45:00) Thief Town and Spy Party both look pretty interesting as couch multiplayer games.

(49:15) A quick rundown of the power progression.  We also compare it to Gradius and King's Knight.


Next time on Last Time, Fire Emblem!  Tactical Aristocracy Action!

Episode 96: Doom Song... Oh, Wait, Star Wars [Star Wars: Dark Forces]

This week, Star Wars!  Surprisingly, no Bothans died for the Death Star plans in this.  We talk a lot about what's now officially "Star Wars" since the Disney acquisition, which inevitably leads to Gundam, because space.  Also, blaster rifles!



Time for some fancy downloading!


Show Notes

(01:30) Man, John Williams has done everything.  Also, awakenings!

(03:00) Spoilers for Citizen Kane.  Yup.

(05:00) So, Affected.

(06:30) Microsoft's "not an Oculus" (working name).  Related: PS3 design decisions.

(15:00) The Galaxy Gun!

(16:30) Screencheat?

(20:30) Minovsky Particles have their own trope page.

(26:00) Doom Wars!

(27:00) Big Star Wars fans have way too much time.

(38:00) This game sounds so interesting; if only it was playable.  Tutorials continue to be a thing older games kinda needed.


Next time on Last Time, Star Soldier!  Giant space face!

At least we have ass firing,

Episode 95: No, Speed, You Must Not Race in This Race, This Race is Much Too Dangerous! [Super Mario Kart]

Man, Payday 2 is an awesome game.  Oh.  The episode?  Well, come on a super racing adventure that lacks the most iconic item of the franchise!  That's right, we're doing Star Wars Episode 1: Racer, the game that had no podracers!  Not buying it?  Fine, it's Mario Kart.  It made our collective eye bits hurt.

Show Notes

(00:10) For those who didn't get the title reference.

(01:30) Flintstones!  We discuss some movie ideas.

(06:00) Old Hitler is an actual shark.

(07:30) That hentai-ish game we mentioned is Nekopara.  Tell us how it is if you played it.

(11:00) Civ 5, guys!  We know you've all been playing it forever, but it's fun!  The AI's logic is a bit confusing at times, though.

(16:30) Mario Kart's DLC, while a bit pricey, is fun.  The track for this game is pretty great.

(23:00) Payday 2's Overkill Software let Lion Game Lion develop their new DLCs.

(29:00) Zach's tale of Microsoft not being a bag of suck for once.

(38:00) Indonesia has a word for a third gender that roughly translates to "lady boy".

(43:00) That Getter Robo sure is a combining robot of some sort.  Also, Geremy has so much stuff going that he's now got a gaming schedule.

(46:00) Bravely Default, you're such a Dracula.

(50:00) Our discussion about Mario Kart!

Next time on Last Time, Star Wars: Dark Forces!  Set your blasters to brain drain.

Episode 50: We Apologize for the Audio Quality... And Also the Game Quality [Prince of Persia]

This week, we play our first rotoscoped game.  A daring adventure through dungeons and against undead, sure to excite!  Now, if only the controls weren't so obtuse.  At least we have Ed with us this episode to help make the game somewhat bearable.

Also, there are a lot of bump noises on this one because we had Ed on our makeshift mic stand that Alex rigged up for our Animal Crossing episode.  That stand is actually a "bottle of alcohol and shot glass" holder, so it's not super steady.  Sorry 'bout that.



You can't download halfway through taking a step.


(00:50) We introduce Ed, while Tyler, who blames a temporal anomaly, forgot to introduce himself.

(03:00) Ed talks about Wolf Among Us.

(07:00) We talk about Pokémon for a while, because it's us.

(18:00) Some LoL talk.  (Editors Note: Still us.)

(21:30) SCP, guys.  It's pretty distracting, and not as useful for connecting to other computers as one would think.

(24:00) Fire Emblem: Awakening shipping.

(30:00) Story of the most recent Eve catastrophe.

(45:00) We start off this week's game with it's mechanics.

(49:00) Sands of Time!

(53:30) This game was going to be an Apple exclusive.  Yes, early Apple computers were top tier gaming machines.

(55:30) Prince of Persia is pretty bad.  Pretty unanimous "skip."

Next time on Last Time, it's X-Com: Enemy Unknown!  The original, in case you were curious.
