• Miserable Podcast of Secrets #2


        "Are You Slamming the Japanese Out of Nowhere?"

        Unfortunately, my uncompressed part of the podcast was lost - either by my accidentally deleting it or because of a crash, so there wasn't even a chance to splice all the voices together. The good news is, the group copy we have is decent. Be warned: there are two horrible splices at the beginning (one much more noticeable than the other) and the ending is a bit abrupt. Other than that, we did a better job this time on the technical side.

        On the menu:
        • Sloppy introductions
        • Pronunciations
        • The Japanese and their plastic desserts
        • Is your phone mocking you?
        • Why is Nintendo losing money?
        • Mzo's Stockholm syndrome
        • Gamers' and developers' investment in games
        • Metal Gear Solid retrospective - bathroom humor, convoluted storylines, the secret of super stealth walking, and "Nanomachines!"
        • The gamer's secret to immortality
        • Sonic Generations - "a little bubble of 'awesome' to 'suck'"
        • Arkham City DLC
        • 50% of us have played Kawaii Pet Megu
        • Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and the direction of the series
        • Voxatron and Stealth Bastard
        • The perils of context-sensitive controls
        • Blackwell Deception - from the makers of Gemini Rue
        • Pile of Shame - Half-Life 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Grand Theft Auto IV, and the Mass Effect series
        • The Saints Row: The Third Initiation Station
        • Options for good and evil in games
        • Dragon Age: Origins versus Dragon Age II
        • Zanac and in-game adaptation
        • [An Athena mention]
        • Otomedius Excellent delays and pillowcase
        • Chux is too old for Power Rangers
        • and more

          Whoa that Muffin reminds me of a Vagina. "The Mizzo" is a star in the making God blessed him with a unique voice. How do you Right Click on a Mac?

          I tried that Nick, no go. I listen to these to help me relax and fall asleep, but "The Mizzo" always SL1Ps in those sexual innuendos that are funny.I can download it from Itunes, 99 cents for a podcast that's over 2 hours is well worth the money.

          I was listening, but then refreshed it at the last 3 minutes, so the WHOLE THING has to load again for me to listen to those last 3 minutes. Maybe when I get home.

          There are no achievements for it, or threads to bump for it.
