Brad and Travis started playing Chaos... a text based MUDD(??Spelling??) so we talk about that while Brad actually plays the game. Seriously, he plays the damn game while we record the show... it's incredible. Seriously though, Brad and Travis join me at the table to discuss Star Craft 2, Thief 3, and Save the Turtles (WTF!?)! The comment reading segment returns as we discuss the Red Dead Redemption multiplayer and we get caught up talking about several other important news topics. It's a short and sweet show this week so enjoy it!

    Monolith and, at the least, F.E.A.R. is owned by Warner Brothers. No idea if Monolith could even make another No One Lives Forever.

    Team Silent is dissolved.

    Every time Travis and Brad talk about Chaos, I can't help but think, "These guys would enjoy D&D with a decent DM." It's more or less fundamentally the same, but with a different setting, and with a person running the show, rather than a computer. For that reason, I think D&D is superior. It affords even more freedom of shit to do, because it relies on a brain, rather than whatever the programmer allowed you to do.

    "Turtles: They die to death in the sun" (around the 31 minute mark) totally needs to be a t-shirt.

    The Command and Conquer 3 cutscenes, while intentionally campy, they do definitely show that it's possible to do really well-done live action cinematics in games. I mean, they got some well-known actors for it (Billy Dee Williams, Michael Ironside, Tricia Helfer, and Jennifer Morrison to name a few), and the effects weren't terrible as Nick seems to think that all live-action cinematics have to have. The only thing that holds those cutscenes back from from being on the same level as a movie is the plot of the game and the tongue-in-cheek nature of them.

    Around the 1:20:30 mark, Nick says that they're trying to say that Lords of Shadow was originally supposed to be a remake of the first Castlevania; Where the hell did you hear that? As far as I know, it started out as just "Lords of Shadow" and got the Castlevania name tacked on later.

    Shame Brad isn't interested in Red Dead Multiplayer - I can't think of anything better than Brad fooling around with his posse in that world. Maybe he'll come around.

    Good show boys, short but most definitely sweet.
