Matt Leone is in for Sam Kennedy to discuss this week’s odd news with the rest of the regular crew.
Rare is to update Xbox Avatars to more human-like proportions, so people playing Kinect will be less confused. Italian advocacy group Unico National has asked Take-Two to not to release Mafia II. Realtime Worlds is facing financial difficulties, but has rehired some staff. The National Youth Rights Association is preparing to fight for the future of video games with a dossier of socially, artistically, and politically valuable games. Halo Reach is not going to be released in 3D, and Dawn of War 3 might be free to play.
Icarus Proudbottom in The Curse of the Chocolate Fountain is the free game of the week. As its title suggests, it’s about harnessing super scatological powers for flight.
Before getting into emails, they talk about their forthcoming most-hated-characters poll, and Perez Hilton’s blog about a Malawian man’s alleged female genitalia.
Emailers this week talk about Zelda’s influence on games from World of Warcraft to Crackdown, being the victims of game-theft, and what they’ve learned from games.
Covered topics: Resized Avatars, Mafia II, Realtime Worlds, California vs. Games, Halo Reach, Dawn of War 3, Icarus Proudbottom in The Curse of the Chocolate Fountain.
Sharkey is back from his vacation, but Sam is off in Germany. Matt sits in and is kind of an old grump about it all while we talk about Italians threatening to kneecap Mafia II for sterotyping them, play Icarus Proudbottom and the Curse of the Chocolate Fountain, and take questions, and chatter about what games we’ve had stolen from us. Also, some guy in Malawi claims to have grown lady parts but we’re more blown away that Tina has apparently been reading Perez Hilton.
