Wurm Online is a sandbox MMORPG in which the players shape and mold the world they play in, from the ground to the buildings that rest on top of it. The game is totally free roam and open-ended.
Being outside must play havoc with our feeble immune system and time keeping abilities. This late edition of the SaladCast sees us return to the hole from whence we came. But not without games!
Plenty of Battlefield 3 Beta impressions, more informed Gears of War 3 opinion and a liberal dose of Deus Ex progress round off this post's feature list.
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.
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.
Another special guest joins the fray in the form of Matt Makin with the inexplicable power of causing himself to record at a different rate to everyone else. Made the editing REEEAL easy I can tell ya.
Rob starts his Rockstar pilgrimage in yet more Red Dead coverage, Zeg thought he'd caught them all but them Pokémon just messed up his life some more and Matt rebuilds the clan of merciless killers in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.
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?
After deciding very quickly that we need to suck less, the gaming news flows forth.
Featuring Rob discussing Japan's answer to the cover shooter, Vanquish and the connection woes of Call of Duty: Black Ops. Zac drops the bomb on the similarities between Monday Night Combat and TF2, and unrealistic frontier realism MMO WURM Online. Dan continues the Rockstar patronage and goes zombie hunting in the wild west in Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare.
Lot of dates, as in years, mentioned this week too... Thought I’d have something funny to say about that. I don’t.
