Mike and Alan kick things off with some complaints about people’s fashion choices. The crew then starts the regular show with a reader email about a poor comic shop experience that pushed him to start buying from DCBS, which Mike also endorses. The DeathSpank Game Night also gets a quick mention.
In the ‘Games Dammit” section Alan talks about his issue with NCAA 2011 and Jade talked about her frustration about Amazon’s sluggish delivery of Dragon Quest IX. The conversation then moves on to the topic of scary games and the difference between a game making feel tense and a game that actually makes you feel scared.
Mike goes on a tirade about the iPhone 4 antenna issue and the regular show closes on some movie talk. The aftershow features Greg Ford and Andrew Fitch with Mike Cruz and Scooter discussing pickup tactics.
Mike’s destiny has been carved out for him, to review gladiator-type games. The crew talk about Tournament of Legends, along with a bunch of other games. A discussion about Dead Space has Travis asking what makes a game scary, and Jade offers up a movie recommendation. Check out this episode’s show notes.
