Pokémon Black/White

Deciphering the world of Pokémon on a cup of coffee in the Abode of Unfortunate Ends is a tough task. Among Zac's thoughts of Pokémon Black/White we can’t help but be confused how about such a world could possibly work with such ignorant occupants.

Rob continues following Dan's gaming suggestions and finally starts playing Batman: Arkham Asylum.

Dan hasn't played too much but we fill the gap with more Portal 2 talk (mostly spoiler free still), the usual Minecraft and TF2 entries with a surprise return for SpaceChem.

There was no avoiding it, Portal 2 has taken over the gaming world. We tried not to talk about it we really tried... but then we kinda played it so only made it halfway through the cast before we spill the beans. Note that this is as spoiler free as we could manage.

Aside from this behemoth, Rob finishes Red Dead Redemption and Moves like a crazy man in front of the Kinect sensor. Zeg hasn't caught them all so there's more Pokémon coverage and Dan puts his hos before his bros in more Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood assessment.

This week in the "Sitting Room of Armageddon" the Saladites discuss the video game they have been playing over the last two weeks. A novel concept I'm sure you'll agree.

Rob nears the completion of Red Dead Redemption (at last), Dan picks up where previous guest, Matt, left off with Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood and Zac plays some new games (shock) by wading into the most recent demos availbale on Steam.

The lounge of inexplicable peril is populated with all regular contenders. One year has past since Episode 1. Only one thing can occur... Season 2 of the SaladCast is so ON right now!

Rob expresses his hurt caused by Nintendo in  the wake of the 3DS launch and hates on Mexico, Zac gets deeper into Pokémon and a few other RPGs and Dan... well Dan is back. Which is nice.

Not much on new games front this week as Rob tackles the latest installment in the classic JRPG series in the form of Final Fantasy XIII (not XIV, you can't expect that of us, ever). Zac helps explain Rob’s second impressions of Monday Night Combat and falls deeper into the MMO trap WURM Online. We also find it hard to add to Dan's continued reporting on Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare.

Listen as we deftly pad the episode at the end. I think we get away with it. cough.

And have I ever told you how hard it is to type when a cat thinks something is under the keyboard?
