  1. I think you're right, it just hasn't started yet: http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/59273
  2. I listened to about half the cast on the way to work this morning but had to put it on hold upon my arrival. Chris mentioned that Zeno Clash was on sale this weekend for $9.99. I went to Steam to purchase it but it's still regular price. Am I crazy? Was it a different game and my brain wishfully substituted Zeno Clash?
  3. What a great surprise! On a Friday too!
  4. Great cast guys! Thoroughly enjoyable, I listened twice. Scoops' Cryostasis cow story reminded me of the cow launch in the first level of Earthworm Jim, mostly because it's another random inclusion of a cow in a video game. In Earthworm Jim didn't the cow come back during the last boss fight? I haven't played Cryostasis but imagine an elaborate side-quest where you can in fact save the cow from its grim fate. On Blueberry Garden: I played a bunch of this and liked it quite a bit. I agree with Chris that at first glance, or in a trailer, this game appears to be totally aimless and weird much like Noby Noby Boy. Upon playing the game however, actual gameplay objectives become readily apparent after not long and any resemblance to Noby Noby Boy's "toybox" model disappears. I now find the game more akin to something like Knytt, which is also a kind of 2D collect-a-thon with interesting environments and a central starting point. If you haven't played it, it's free to download here: http://nifflas.ni2.se/ (the site is currently down). On Metroid Other M: I'm not holding my breath. I can't help but think this will be nothing more than Ninja Gaiden with a Metroid skin, right down to the terrible first-person shooting mechanics and groan-worthy dialogue and cutscenes. Even the title screams "bad anime".
  5. New people: Read this, say hi.
