Here is another episode of the What I'm Playing now podcast. This week Greg and I discuss Ultima Online and Dark Age of Camelot being put on Steam Greenlight. We also discuss Morrowind being made within the Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim framework. How Nintendo had a chance to be involved in Skylanders and a little Easter egg in the latest episode of My Little Pony. Never thought I would be writing about that on ANY of my websites!!!!
Here we have episode 20 of the What I'm Playing Now podcast. We talk about Amazon's Fire TV and some of the games you will be able to play on it. The speed at which tickets for the DOTA 2 international sold out in. We also discuss the release date for RBI Baseball as well as playing Tetris on the side of a building and more! This episode was recorded right before I left for PAX.
Thank you Google Hangouts for playing nice this week and not blowing up half way through our show. So this week we discuss some gaming news and I talk about my day long session of playing Elder Scroll's Online on opening day this past Sunday.
Hey all, I wasn't going to post episode 18 here since we had so many problems with Google Hangouts, but I figured what the hell, let's just throw up what we got, so we can move onto 19!
So after a brief bought with the plague, I was able to come back this week and record a show. Greg and I hung out last night and added a few more stories to the list we had and came up with another show about what's going on in gaming and what we've been playing now. Check out the video below and look for the audio to be up shortly.
Hey everyone, here is the weekly What I'm Playing Now podcast that we recorded Monday evening. We discuss people leaving different companies and more layoffs in the gaming industry. We also discuss all the good stuff that Microsoft gives you with your Xbox Live Gold subscription as well as the new Xbox One update. Of course Greg shares another picture with us and we also talk about what we played this week, (cough cough, South Park!!!!), and what we are looking forward to playing.
So with the return of Greg this week, we actually get into quite a few discussions. I talk about Asheron's Call getting its, pretty much, final update after a fourteen year run by the Turbine developers. We chat about Nintendo and a doubling of Day-Z developers, as well as all the game we played this week!! Check it out below, and be sure to leave comments.
So here is this weeks episode that I recorded Monday night. This is just the video portion and just me, Joe. Greg was having trouble with his internet connection so I had the opportunity to fly solo. I talked about some of the news stories from the past week and what I have been playing. Some of the games I discussed was the Titanfall beta, as well as the FFXIV beta on the PS4 as well as others! Check it out and leave us some comments!!!! If you are interested keep an eye out for the audio podcast as Greg may record some stuff of what he did and include it in there.
Last night we recorded episode 13 of the podcast! Check it out here. We discuss Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, The Last of Us, Final Fantasy XIII - Lightning Returns, The Pathfinder Adventure Card game and more!
Over the weekend I had a chance to sit down and play through the game Jazzpunk. The game was developed by Necrophone Games out of Canada, a small development studio of basically just a couple of guys. The game was published by none other than Adult Swim Games and this should pretty much sum up what type of game this is going to be, AWESOME!
The game is set as a 50's style spy thriller where you are the one that needs to save the day. But there is a small twist to this of course being published by Adult Swim Games and that would be the comedy that is vibrantly rich throughout the game. From the video trailer that was put out before the game was sold, I knew this game would be quite different than most of the others I was currently playing and boy did Jazzpunk live up to that trailer.
The game is divided up into different chapters and each chapter has you exploring and discovering a world that has a unique and interesting look to it as well as enough laughs to make even the harshest critic crack a smile. I myself cannot remember a game where I literally laughed and chuckled my way through it from beginning to end. I noticed right from the beginning that this would be a game where you would definitely want to interact with pretty much every NPC in the game, so as you didn't miss a thing. Each chapter you came across was set in a different locale and each little comedy bit I found, felt like a small morsel to a huge dinner that was being served. There aren't much to the controls of the game, which makes it that much easier to just want to explore and interact with the colorful and funny world before you.
I don't want to go too much into the game itself and spoil anything as the game is not one of extreme length. But if you are fan of anything on Adult Swim, or if you love a good laugh from pop culture, then this game will definitely be worth the price of admission. From fart jokes to movie references to the many geek tributes that are paid throughout the game, all gamers will not be able to avoid the laughter that this game will provide. Some of the art style even brought me back to my days of watching Ren and Stimpy which to this day holds a special place in my heart.
The game can be found on Steam, or directly through the developers website. It is currently on sale but only for a little bit longer and it is definitely a game that you do not want to pass up. I can completely say that this game should be on your list of what you want to play now!
What I'm Playing Now is a website based around board and video games that we have recently played.
