It would appear that RG search wasn't as good as I thought. Nyaa

That's probably what I thought search was.

Also take a look at (and throw it into the podcast info, Aspro?) Edward Badham's stuff. The guy responsible for the Metroid/Star Fox story...who I completely forgot to shout out when exploiting his work!

Also I don't think Awesomenauts is on PC, and I'm pretty sure that you played LA Noire on a console of some sort!

Listening to the podcast now. Aspro's comments about LA Noire were confusing me a bit till he said he was still at the traffic desk. The over-the-top reactions of the witnesses and suspects get phased out over the course of the game and midway through it gets a lot tougher. By the end of the game when you're in Arson the reactions are near non-existant. Either that or Bondi ran out of time and forgot to include them.

Now I'm back to not caring about it.

Anyway another good show guys. Though it's a shame to hear that we're not plugging our fake sponsor anymore.

I was hearing this today. The LA Noire comments was hilarious mostly cause of the game Foolz is now envisioning. Like Robio said the game gets way better at the faces thing.

I almost drove my car off the road during the Star Wars talk, of course it takes place in the past. Star Wars is supposed to be a myth, a fable, something told from generation to generation. The twist is that it is in a sci-fi setting. The beginning is telling us that it is a story from long ago but in a galaxy very far away which is why there are spaceships. Foolz is totally right. Sadly it seems like my download got cutoff as it got cut off during that conversation.

Star Fox Metroid Fusion Saga. Talking about how it takes place in the future  cause it is sci fi but foolz says Star Wars is in the past so that ruins your argument.

That was a amazing transgression fascinating insight that Aspro raised, I must say. I think that when more attention is brought to his theory it is likely that Lucas will alter the canon accordingly. Of course, it will lead to the inevitable re-editing of all Star Wars properties, but they are due for a remake anyway.




Fixed.
