We cover the usual Dragon Age talk and David plays every game under the sun this week in his quest to be Cheevo master. Speaking of masters, Brad tells us about his quest to be Pokemon Master! That's a joke; Brad actually rants about the everlasting, unchanging pokemon series. On a more positive note, lesser known quantities like Raiden, Hydrophobia, Yakuza, and the much beloved, Beyond Good & Evil, get some love this week. Savor these last, Dragon Age-less moments while you still can because next week is Dragon Age week and it's all downhill from there... or is it uphill?

    Great episode. Absolutely can not wait for Dragon Age 2 episode next week, should be very, very interesting.

    On a side note though, I found the Street Fighter II chatter of the week story quite ironic and interesting, literally just last week I was listening to an older episode of another gaming podcast and one of the members of the show was saying how back in the early 90's using throws ('tick throws') was pretty much breaking SFII code of conduct and more or less an unspoken rule in arcades. Being younger I never experienced this first hand, but I'm surprised you guys never had similar experiences.

    I heard the dialogue system in Dragon Age 2 is sort of dynamic, in that what you say will completely alter what your character will say in later conversations. For example, there are three options right, what your character says when you choose the top option depends on which options you chose in previous conversations.

    ^ I heard this from a friend who has beaten the demo 23 times. She beat it as every class and did as many combinations of dialogue choices as she could.

    Why does Pokemon bother Brad so much? Some people still enjoy it and its pretty damn obvious some people don't like it. If you hate it, then stay away from it, simple.
