So what if we're posting this podcast up a bit late. So what if we may have forgotten to finish off the process that is most of the point of this thing? ... Yakuza 4 is a hell of a drug.
Naturally we have to cover the Activision acquisition but we've got a summer jam (in January) thanks to Windjammers 2. Rob requires a vibe and Lethal League helps out whilst Zac plays games trying to be like other games introducing us to Planet Crafter.
October is here and games are starting to come out for us to mostly ignore. Instead we talk about, XCOM 2, PSVR, Shadow of Mordor, running, Space Engineers, GTA V, FAST Racing NEO, Theatrythm, pay-to-spray, Affordable Space Adventures, Team Fortress 2 and always more Rocket League.
Need a new diet plan for 2016? Don't eat Chocolate, play games instead. Take your mind of the sugar with the sweetness of staying alive in Alien Isolation. Eat mushrooms instead with New Super Mario Bros. 2. Simulate the feeling of being slighter further away from chocolate by going for a drive in Burnout Paradise or a greater distance in FAST Racing NEO. Grow your own chocolate alternatives that you can’t even eat in Stardew Valley. All this advice comes courtesy of the SaladCast.
What does it mean if you get "Enter Sandman" stuck in your head for a day and you haven't even heard the song in, like, forever? Does it cement it as a badass song? Is it destined to get on my nerves? Am I doomed to cause people to sleep forever? The answer may be found in your reaction to arcane recordings of the SaladCast. I hear there may be talk about the games we can’t quite finish yet, VR pricing, vague news, and not dying in the snow and a hidden message if you listen in reverse.
Once again we are graced with a guest in the form of Richard Kemp (DJKippling) to bring his skew to the cast. In this episode some VR and eSports news, injury predictions, PC hardware, Kickstarter backing, caring about achievements and maybe some actual game chat.
Oh boy oh boy oh boy! It's time for the end of year special show: GOTY 2015! We must scrutinize the heck out of 2015 for the good of mankind, for it is written: "Those who podcast, must arbitrarily award." There’s a lot of difficult decisions and few easy answers in one of the busiest gaming years in memory an you can find out exactly how the team arrive at their conclusions (a blog with the results will go up later).
Fair warning: we may talk about story spoilers and mention the Weak Ass Californian Gap.
To all those who went to EGX 2015, I have to clap my hands. Finally a show where the crowd isn't composed of annoying idiots who barge their way through to get anywhere, treading on toes as they do. You make music concerts look thoroughly uncivilised... which is probably the point in a lot of cases but I’m still impressed. See you next year my people.
Needless to say there’s a lot of EGX coverage this week but there’s just enough time for Zac to cover his tabletop adventures too.
