Anyway, we eventually discuss our thoughts on the recent big patch, including dungeon reactions from Thurbleton, guild puzzle experiences and some pretty up-beat discussion about spectator mode and custom arenas from myself and Dourin.

  • The new dungeon seems fine?
  • Spectator mode works. In fact, it works well.

Plugs!

  • Stay tuned for our SECOND Josh Foreman interview coming next week!
  • Check out Catherine and Thomas Was Alone (especially for EU Playstation Plus members since they’re free)

If you were surprised last time, I bet you didn’t expect us to have all played GW2 for a second show running. We’re here in force this week to discuss the major end-of-April patch recently outlined by Arenanet along with some final thoughts on the Super Adventure Box and Flame and Frost. But that isn’t the whole show - things have been moving in gaming in general so we’re doing another half-and-half episode, with a pseudo-Scotchcast taking up the second part of the show. Tune in to find out our thoughts on the next Xbox announcement-announcement and Nintendo’s drastic new plans for E3.

  • Super Adventure Box is about to go away, and we get in some last impressions
  • For the Scotchcast half we discuss the next Xbox which shall be announced on May 21st
  • Oh, and Nintendo is taking a very odd approach to E3 which has some of us concerned.

Finally - well, near the end anyway - we have an extended discussion regarding my recent experiences with Half Life 2 and how I think it holds up in today’s video game space with some interesting comparisons to Portal.

In near-unprecedented fashion, we have ALL played Guild Wars 2 this week and have a bunch to say about it. Tune in for talk about the March patch, including some sPvP impressions, a recent romp through the Flame and Frost living story stuff and finally - of course - a bunch about the kickass new Super Adventure Box content. AFTER all of that, we hit off-topic with a discussion about numerous games including my closing thoughts on Dark Souls and our final segment on Bioshock Infinite at the end.

Topics for the week:

  • We OPEN with GW2 talk this week - and quite a bit of it
  • I have some choice words to say about my short foray into sPvP this week, and we discuss if GW2’s esports attempts will ever pay off
  • Noob and I were simply overjoyed at the brevity of the Flame and Frost content… for the wrong reasons
  • Thankfully, Super Adventure Box is all the way awesome
  • We round out the GW2 discussion this week with a quick roundup about how we think the game is going and what the prospects are for the inevitable expansion
  • After 2:20, off-topic fills the rest of this absurdly long show
  • Dark Souls isn’t quite for me, but Dark Souls 2 for SOME REASON still sounds cool
  • Noob is just a bad person - and Thurb was party to some of his nonsense
  • Dourin’s been playing Star Craft 2 but also some other stuff
  • And finally, as Noob heads to sleep, the rest of us engage in a progressively more spoilery (with warnings) discussion of Bioshock Infinite for the last time on this show.

Along the way we delve pretty deep into AI and story telling in games, lamenting the distant release dates of the coming consoles. Finally, we chat about PAX and, of course, Joakim Mogren (aka - how gaming PR SHOULD be done).

  • Dadcast is a thing and you should go watch it (see plugs for link) and Mass Effect 3 is awesome again

  • Bioshock is still cool, and Shinboy is seriously looking forward to Infinite.
  • Sim City.
  • Guild Wars 2! (Starts at 1:05:00 ish )
  • The economy post-patches, with the new loot tables - and hey, world events are cooler than ever now.
  • Dungeon rebalances seem pretty cool.
  • Guild Events rock thus far, though I do have my misgivings.
  • and probably other stuff, too.

So Let’s see.

I can tell you that it was recorded live, Guild Wars 2 was discussed, some stuff about the next playstation and hands, too… noob is given far too long to talk about Victoria 2, and… more? Probably?

In our longest episode ever, we actually talk about Guild Wars 2 for the vast majority of it! This week’s discussion centres on the The Gathering Storm update later in February, and the straw that broke the camel’s back for Thurbleton. Along the way, Snow People make a glorious return (especially in the out-takes), I lament “women’s fiction / fantasy”, Dourin throws down his final thoughts on Antichamber and more.

  • We shout out a bunch of “things we love”, which can be seen in the plugs below - including An Unbelievable Truth, My Drunk Kitchen and Scishow.
  • Noob is sexist, I hate “Women’s Fiction” and think IT is sexist, Dourin ads some general thoughts and Thurbleton thoughtfully obtains from comments in general.
  • Minecraft is discussed. Because it is 2013. Thankfully we veer away from that and instead talk about House of Cards and In the Loop.
  • Oh, and then we dive into about 3 hours of Guild Wars 2 talk.
  • Me and Noob talk about the potential plot surrounding the Flame and Frost events springing up this year.
  • We talk about the many changes to sPvP for (generally) the better.
  • And then we spend the rest of the episode talking about Dub v Dub, and what Arenanet is doing about it.

After that we spend the next 2-3 hours talking about Dante’s black hair, Sim City, more Primal Carnage, a bunch of Antichamber, and the impending announcement of the Playstation 4.

  • We talk about so much in the latter 2/3 of this show, I can barely track it. Some include…
  • DmC Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Primal Carnage, Sword and Sorcery, Sim City, Antichamber and Wizardry Online.
  • And much more - like the lack of modern action stars, and Arnie’s grand return to cinema.
