Episode 150: Can We Stop Testing Our Might? [Mortal Kombat 2]

In what will become a stunning example of divergent character evolution, we now see a remarkable cast of fighters on display. Such remarkable combatants as red ninja, yellow ninja, green ninja, blue girl, and pink girl. Can anyone withstand the awesome force of Triple Ghost Fireball?

Episode 104: The Most Boring Possible Death [Mortal Kombat]

This week, we're talking about some competitive game scenes, and they're not Mortal Kombat!  There's a smattering of 3DS related fun, and plenty of LoL, because of course there is.  Can you survive the frosty snub of not being invited to a ninja's garden party?  No?  Then GET OVER HERE!

Show Notes

(02:00) Despite what Tyler said, Jormungandr is considered an ouroboros.

(03:00) The Dex is pretty amusing.  Seriously, that cry mimic is hilarious.

(05:30) Apparently aMSa is coming for the Smash title.  Again.  Yoshiyoshi!  Fighting game announcers are still ridiculous.

(07:00) All sorts of competitive game problems recently.

(09:45) New Street Pass games if you hadn't heard.

(11:30) Reddit has a sub for everything.  Gotta go fast!

(15:45) Hearthstone adventures!

(26:45) MORTAL KOMBAT!  It... kinda sucks.  Newer MK entries definitely did better by adding character variety.

(37:00) Terrible news, everyone!  A Pac-Man movie with Adam Sandler!

(37:45) The rankings continue!  Pac-Man, its successor, Dig Dug, and Mega Man 3 all get added to the list.

Episode 67: Cool Boat, Bros [Hydro Thunder]

We return with another arcade racing favorite, this one being of substantially higher quality than the last! Splash through crazy courses - some of which really shouldn't have water running through them - and boost your way to victory over hidden shortcuts. It's vaguely futuristic and implausible boat fun!

Episode 64: We Were Wrong. We Were So Wrong! Don't Listen! [Cruisin' USA]

I think this might actually be the first nostalgia bomb for 2/3 of the podcast.  Sweet racing... cars...  umm... other things.  This game had all those other things.  Sadly, it did not live up to our expectations.  Come crash in sweet 720 spins with us as we slog through Cruisin'.



Even if you miss our download, it might rubberband back and let you get it anyway.


(02:20) For those unfamiliar, the legend on John Henry.

(08:00) Exclusives, and whether the Wii was a critical flop.

(11:15) The PS2 had 3870 games, compared to the current stock of 1120 XBox 360 games, 920 of which are cross-platform.

(13:00) Zach's League adventures.

(16:30) Zach finally got FTL and talks about it.  We talk about some strategies for a bit.

(28:00) Geremy talks about the subject of his new column, comparing the original Super Sentai shows that Power Rangers bought footage from.  Inspiration: Ranger Danger!

(33:30) Okami: great, but poorly paced.

(35:00) Mana Khemia is pretty sweet, and you can use almost all of your characters.

(35:50) Shattered Horizon is a pretty cool game, though suffers from some multiplayer map issues.  Zach levies criticism compared to Battlefield 1942.

(43:00) Cruisin'!  It's...  Wow.  Pretty awful.  Potato quality graphics, horrible music and sound, no feedback, sloppy controls.
