What happens when orcs and humans don’t yet inhabit a world, and havn’t discovered the power of RPG elements, but do have oil and navies? Zug zug, we’re playing Warcraft II this week, listen to hear about how good lesser Starcraft is.
Episode 259: Warcraft Orcs and Humans
Episode 232: Warcraft III
Wasn't this site supposed to be for a video game podcast? Last Time on Video Games makes its triumphant return, with the precursor to the biggest MMO of all time, Warcraft III. It's got heroes and creeps galore! Can the Last Time guys guide Orc Jesus to stop the invasion of The Legion? Or will totally reasonable hero Arthus fall to the scourge and conquer all of the World of.... Azeroth? Aslo featured: More wood than you can handle.
Episode 225: Rise of Nations
Episode 180: You Build Your Walls, I Dig My Hole [Stronghold]
Good fences make good neighbors, and better walls make corpses of your enemies! Manage the happiness of your ingrate peasant population as you try to stave off endless attacks from your political rivals. It's easier if they're entertained, though, so train that one bear the hunters brought back to dance, and see if that gets them off your back for a while. What's that sign say? Wolves in 10 minutes?

(07:45) Apparently, you can also say "March 9th as Miku", so obviously this happened.
(08:45) So... shiny!

(34:30) We were all wrong. Pikes are long spears meant for blocking horses, and a halberd is a spear with an ax on the end.

Episode 177: Battleship, In Space! [Metal Marines]
Nothing says "thrilling mech warfare" like building a single, non-reusable launch pad for a mech, then mostly letting it sit there while you pepper your opponent with missiles. That said, upgrading to a shiny golden form is definitely on the thrilling side of the spectrum, so it might balance out in the end. Join us in our fight to stop a vague villainous threat from being menacing in our general direction, and see whether our AA screen is tight enough.

(07:30) I was trying to find a good video on Pokéball seals, but the first video was terrible, and the quality just got worse, so have a video about awful balls.
(14:30) It's a cooking fun time.
(18:00) Heroes of flame symbols.
(24:00) Orca looks much scarier than I had imagined.
(29:00) I love the swinginess of this game, but the art on some of these cards...
(32:30) Kado.
(40:00) No, no one wants to be your mommy. Unlike poor Cubone, and its horrible fate revealed in the Sun entry.
(42:00) MARINES! They do not get upgraded to level 2.

Episode 175: Fu-Sion-Ha-ha-ha-ha [Impossible Creatures]
In a world where fusion is not just a cheap tactic to make weak animals stronger, some crazy people thought it would be a good idea to invade a geologically confusing island chain and create some of these fusions. From tiger-scorpions (tigions?) to wolf-mantises (mantolfs!), our 1920s action hero will use a variety of abominations to nature to help discover the mystery of his crazy-scientist-father's past, and maybe his own true nature.

Episode 161: Kill the Cows [Lords of the Realm II]
Never before has an RTS been so attached to a turn-based resource management system. We have, of course, seen the opposite, but this has a lot more... swords? Everyone likes swords, so we can promise that this game will definitely be cool. Farm meat and wheat, feed peasants, conscript and tax the daylights out of them, and make yourself some sort of proprietor of a large chunk of land!
Feed downloads to the peasantry for more troops.
Show Notes
(04:30) Survive's trailer at least seems pretty Kojima. Also, spoilers about Tyler's adventures, it was literally just one more mission. Speaking of voyeur showers, you can apparently smell awful...
(08:00) Some Hideo-PA.
(08:10) Clarification: Absol's face is too human.
(15:00) Space Hulk: Deathwing, new and FPSy.
(18:30) VNCreator! Can you make one better than that pigeon one?
(21:30) Cinematic magic.
(32:00) So many problems with the combat.
(41:30) Strategic ranks.
Next time on Last Time, Mario Golf!
Power... SHOT!

Episode 151: B****** Don't Know About My Additional Pylons [StarCraft]
Zerglings, Templars, and Siege Tanks, oh my! The game that was so popular, it basically launched e-sports as a concept. Dive into struggles of 3 races as they vie for galactic territory and, much more locally, a lot of natural gas. Have some exterminators and get ready to roll out! It's much more than Warcraft in space.
This download requires more vespene gas.

Episode 110: I Hope I Look That Good in My Castle Age [Age Of Empires 2]
Experience with us the sublime joy of collecting massive amounts of resources so you can turn them into units and spread them across the country to find your opponent's last piece of wall. Somehow, that counts as a stronghold. Imagine the king of a great nation huddling in a ruined tower while the Mongol horde descends upon him. Also, a lot of farming. And building walls. So, a lot like most of history. Strategy!
Mongols and Vikings and Downloads, oh my!

(02:30) Analogue: A Hate Story sounds fun. Salt is definitely amusing if you want more pirates in your Minecraft.
(02:45) Awesome enough to get its own timestamp note: Towerfall! This War of Mine is interesting, but gets boring fairly quickly.
(04:00) A brief discussion of the horrible anchors that are online ranking systems.
(11:00) Apparently the city in AoT doesn't have a name; it's just "the Walls". The various districts do have names, though.
(12:45) Remember, kids, don't be a publicized criminal or you might spontaneously die of a heart attack.
(14:30) Dino D-Day just looks amazeballs.
(16:30) The Golden Grin is definitely not free.
(17:15) Zach's newest pastime: Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires.
(20:00) Batpires!
(26:30) RTS fun times!
(28:30) A quick critique of AoE2's lack of civilization differentiation. It's there, but it's subtle.
(30:30) This game's 4 resource system. We discuss the optimal number for a bit, but 0 is a valid options, so it's probably personal preference.
(36:00) While it doesn't look bad, lack of visual distinction between ages can be a problem. What's the difference between these two ranged units?
(38:00) Win conditions and their relative ease.
(46:45) Rankings? Have some! Nobunaga's Ambition, Baseball, and King's Knight all get slotted on the list.
Next time on Last Time: Chief? CHEEEIIIF!
It's Halo. Let the flame wars begin.
