Hey look. We’re crazy early. Don’t get use to it!
Back for more! Andy and Josh talk Bioshock 2, Borderlands, somehow get on a huge Diablo 2 tangent then - here comes the rain - an epic Heavy Rain gush. Ah, the demo rage feels a life time ago.
We’re 100% Dan free… again. So if anything goes wrong…. CONTINUE TO EMAIL HIS FACE!
Show Notes:
Intro: 8-Bit Rain
Outro: Rez - Level 5
Heavy Rain: No PS3? You suck. So here, watch the whole damn thing on youtube. Be aware YOU ARE RUINING THE FUCKING GAME FOR YOURSELF and there’s moon language subs (dialog is english).

This week Mort/Andy/Andrew and Josh go deep and spoiler free into Bioshock 2. Visit strange, new (but oddly familiar) worlds in Star Trek Online . Then get backseat game designer with what a rad pants Space MMO would really be like. Then Josh goes and ruins it by talking about Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust and the awful curse of GamerScore… again.
We’re 100% Dan free. So if anything goes wrong. EMAIL HIS FACE!
Show Notes:
DICE 2010: Outside The Box - How your life will soon be an RPG.
End Song - “Those Minerals” by KABUTOTHEPYTHON

OK, that’s the last one, we swear!
Honestly, there’s no Mass Effect 2 discussion in this episode; instead, we discuss why every game would be better with RPG aspects, why the Heavy Rain demo fails at being a demo, what the deal is with Bad Company 2, and exactly what is up with that chick’s head in Venetica.

The spoilerific conclusion to Akimbo’s Mass Effect 2 discussion is here! Find out who lived, who died, and who got their pants off before the shit hit the fan! Following is a discussion sparked by the Fallout: New Vegas teaser trailer on exactly what we’d like to see changed from Fallout 3.

Mass Effect 2 is out, and the Akimbo crew has spent the last week absorbing every morsel of inter-species innuendo! With an entire episode dedicated to the game, it should go without saying that anyone who has not finished it will find spoilers within!

Update: Upon listening to our new episode. I realised that… Yes. Terrible anime fanart of Morrigan as an under-age girl exists. Of COURSE it does. This is the fucking INTERNET we’re talking about <3 Josh.

As mentioned on last week’s show we’re looking for ways to mix it up. Because we know better than anyone else that Dan, Andy- Andrew and myself are - in fact - not the most interesting people in the world. Shocking!

So we’re welcoming the community to jump on for a ride down to Akimbo town. Maybe you’ve got a bone to pick, perhaps you’re looking to flex your sycophant muscles because review is coming up at work, maybe you cannot imagine joy beyond shouting “Titties” in pseudo-public spaces. Hopefully you’ve just got rad, interesting, controversial things to say about Vidya games.
Interested? Here’s what you need to do.
- Have Skype. Shoot a Friend request to “JoshuaHull”.
- Be available on Sunday 17th at 4PM QLD, 5PM NSW/VIC/ACT, 4:30PM SA, 3PM WA
- Ensure your recording equipment is not total garbage.
- Ensure background noise is managed (Fans, AirCon, Kids, Pets, Girlfriends)
- Ensure your net is not being overused by housemates/family/bit torrent, otherwise you’ll sound all el-roboto.
- Register your interest in the comments (so we can get an idea for numbers)
We appreciate the in the chaos, average recording quality will be worse than our usual slapdash effort. Still in the event of a) too many people wanting in to the detriment of overall quality and b) your audio quality not being up to the test, we may be forced to ask you to leave the chat (next time, we promise!). So record yourself in Audacity or the Skype Echo Test function to get a feel for your sound quality. If you’re super paranoid shoot me a chat request on Skype and I can have a listen to you live.
