Platform: PC Also available on: Xbox 360 Developer: Uber Entertainment Release date: Jan 24, 2011 Monday Night Combat is a unique hybrid of different genres, and to pass it off as a Team Fortress 2 clone would be dismissing what this game really is. Monday Night Combat is a 3rd person shooter that combines elements…
This week the guys get local up front with news for a possible Brew Ha Ha meet up in downtown Indy, we mourn the passing of a giant with our observation of Towel Day, Jimbo Wales has delusions of grandeur regarding Wiki as a World Wonder, don’t mess with the TSA, Texas, and Jim pitches the idea of laser tag hair removal.
Platform: PS3 Publisher: SCEA Developer: Guerrilla Games Release date: Feb 22, 2011 The Playstation 3 has a great line up of exclusive titles for this year. Many would probably say Killzone 3 was the marque first person shooter for the console, especially with the extra hype and marketing that Sony has pushed behind Killzone this…
Do my eyes deceive me? Nah.. it can’t be! Does that say POWER PLAY?! That’s right kids your favorite gaming show of all time is BACK! It’s been a long time coming but your patience will be rewarded with this first official re-launch episode of PowerPlay! In this weeks episode we introduce the long time…
You got to ask yourself. What are you going to do? What the hell are you going to do when you’re staring down a pack of water crazed camels hell bent on sucking the vital fluids from your air conditioner, your toilet, your water pipes? When they come as an unstoppable lumpy force to destroy your very means of modern life? One hump or two, motherfucker? One hump or TWO!?
The fans have been clammoring (clammoring!) for Jim and A.Ron to sing a duet of the inimitable Garth Brook’s “Low Places” for over a year now. Actually, that’s a lie. But! You can still hear it if you stick around after the outro in this week’s episode! Leading up to the big finish, we give a bit of PSN update, I talk gearhead bullshit for a minute, we talk about the local board gaming scene, the mighty THOR not sucking nearly as much as we presupposed, and whether Chris Hemsworth could earn a spot in the badass pantheon.
It had to be done, folks. Just too high a concentration of badassery, bullshit, and balls to ignore. Jim and A.Ron post up in a local BW to break down the latest installment of insanity that is the Fast & the Furious franchise. Spoiler alert! Cars are driven fast, women’s bodies are oggled, nitrous oxide is injected, cocoa butter is applied to arms, chin stubble is sported, and one liners spouted. The audio quality is a little off since we recorded this on my blackberry sitting on a table during game four of the Bulls/ATL playoff series, but it’s easy to understand.
In this week’s offering we sit down for a little skull session to put eyeballs on unsuck-it.com, gain best of breed synergy with a deep dive on spoilers, A.Ron makes an elevator pitch for his new movie, Mancano, we get down in the weeds with Sony’s ongoing PSN disincentive strategy, kick the tires on the Chemical Free Chemistry Kit, and finally engage in a knowledge transfer with Stafa on the topic of heroic collateral damage.
The boys navigate dangerous waters as the PSN outage has been upgraded from a tropical shit storm to a full fledged fecal hurricane. It must be discussed! Jim and A.Ron break it down from a personal, gamer, and professional level. Also, watching a serial killer on a weekly basis has Jim pondering “what makes great TV?” A.Ron urges his fellow geek to live by a few simple economic rules, we celebrate Skynet’s birth day, and close out the cast with a review of Poral 2 from our forum’s own Darth Paxis and some Batmania from Stafa’s corner.
This was submitted to us by listener and forum fan, Darth Paxis. It’s featured in the upcoming Episode 61 of Blue Yonder… When I confronted GlaDOS in the first Portal game, it was the end of the game, a final boss fight to give the story a solid conclusion. When I faced GlaDOS in Portal…
