Writing on GamesCast Ep. 15 - Cyber and Nuclear Sep 28, 2016

Show notes

It's your favourite political podcast, hosted by A Very Against Police Judge and Guy Who Pays for Trump Memes!

This week we're talking about the new episode of Hitman (it's great, obviously), the schlocky beauty of Dead Rising, Virginia's technical issues, naming your YouTube channel, the relevancy of arcades in 2016, Pac Man CE 2, Windows 10 isn't great, Yakuza, PS1 lightgun games, the Firewatch movie (?!?), Shovel Knight in Yooka Laylee, old Gamespy demos, Battlefield 2142 is back baybee, old browser games.

We end it with Rival Schools. We talk about our friend that none of you know.

Writing on GamesCast Ep.14 - #whynotnorman Sep 22, 2016

Show notes

New features! New section theme songs! Breaks! All this and more on this week's edition of the GamesCast! Well, by new features, I should clarify - I mean Nico tasks Hamish with a terrible Resident Evil 4 quiz that weirdly shows a gap in his Gears of War knowledge.

Also discussed - revisiting the original Dark Souls, Sif in Dark Souls 3 DLC, Blizzard changing Battle.net to porn, Death Stranding nonsense, Metal Gear Survive nonsense, Hideo Kojima saying that there's no place for zombies in a series that has previously featured zombies, Paladins vs. Overwatch, Dead Rising, No Man's Sky's modding scene, Ocarina of Time, being good at Rocket League, the chaos of Trackmania, and we ask the most important question of our time - #whynotnorman?

The podcast is getting more popular by the week - thank you so much to everyone who listens. If you think someone else might enjoy the show, why not tell them about it? Helps us out a BUNCH.

Writing on GamesCast Ep.13 - The Turning Point in the Wall Sep 14, 2016

Show notes

Lucky number 13, baybee. Hamish and Nico return to talk about the hot video game news coming in too fast for us to feature every story. That is to say, there's next to no fucking news. We do get to discuss the PS4 Pro, The Last Guardian's... last delay, and the rejuvenation of the PS Vita.

We also discuss what video games we've been playing and hoooo boy, are they new and fresh! Bloody Roar 3, Shadow The Hedgehog, Smash Bros. Melee, Deus Ex Human Revolution (and how it's far better than Mankind Divided), and have a contentious discussion about the legacy of Resident Evil 4. And, of course, Hitman talk. Also, Hamish says perhaps the dumbest thing he's ever said.

This is the 'trash lady' in Human Revolution Hamish refers to. OH FUCK MAKE IT STOP IT'S SO FUCKING BAD - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He09JaBVZdE

Writing on GamesCast Ep.12 - PS4 Pro? More Like PS4 D'Oh! ...Get It?! Sep 08, 2016

Show notes

WE'RE BACK BABY. The prodigal sons of talking shite return from their respective trips to London/capturing old fighting game footage to, well, talk more shite.

The PS4 Pro (formerly the Neo) reveal event started pretty much as we hit record. We were woefully unprepared for it. Skype muted the livestream audio so we were just guessing a lot of stuff as we went along. All the hottest news, presented in the most professional way. It's a mess, but a good kind of mess. Unlike the presentation itself, which was a bad mess.

Mario never ceases his endless run. Attack on Titan is an interesting mess. Scarface: The World is Yours is an old video game. No Man's Sky has no legs. Yakuza 6 is naughty. Emulation is cool. Nico is a professional Melee player. DarkSydePhil is a good bad YouTuber.

Also, Hamish is an asshole and trolled a bunch of kids on Tabletop Simulator. The results were truly, truly harrowing. Proceed with caution.

It's good to be back.

Writing on GamesCast Ep.11 - Life's a Playstation Bruh, Slim It Aug 25, 2016

Show notes

SNAKE EYES, BAYBEE. Hamish is currently on a second playthrough of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and so has some things to say about it, both good and bad. Nico has been playing Grow Up and so has some plants to grow about it, both tall and short. I don't know what that means.

Also, Nico played through the latest Hitman episode the other night and streamed it so Hamish could watch. Watch the stream here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfyEHqrR1Nc) and then listen to Hamish tell him how he's doing everything wrong.

Also, Doctor Bonskonovitch has been messing with No Man's Sky save files, Dark Souls 3 DLC, Playstation Plus subscription prices going up, Pokemon GO is threatening our very being, all this and more on the frog-boilingest episode of the Writing on GamesCast yet!

Writing on GamesCast Ep.10 - HOT NO MAN'S SKY RAGE (Riff Origins) Aug 19, 2016

Show notes

Hooooo boy, a bunch of games are coming out and we're here to talk about them! We're talking about the hottest new video game that EVERYONE is talking about - the most controversial release of the year, Phantasmagoria 2. This is Nico's chance to vent about his legitimately awful experience with No Man's Sky, and Hamish's chance to provide his somewhat less negative experience with it...? Also, Hamish has been playing an advanced copy of that new Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and this podcast goes up right when the embargo lifts so prepare for some hot, hot impressions. We also discuss other fine Square Enix properties such as the new Hitman episode (great) and Final Fantasy XV (apparently not so great). Nico's finished Abzu, Hamish has stopped playing Headlander (because it's really, really bad), everything is hunky dory.

Also, we bring you the hottest Metallica news. Oh, and THAT Metal Gear Survive trailer.

It's a biggie this week. WE HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY.

Writing on GamesCast Ep.9 - Yashin? Abzu-lutely Not! Aug 10, 2016

Show notes

Our longest podcast yet. No Man's Sky is out, but neither Hamish nor Nico has played it because PC Master Race (a topic of discussion this podcast). We spend a LOT of time talking about Persona 4 (and news on 5), as well as Shin Migami Tensei: Nocturne - P4's bullet-belt wearing older brother. We talk PS4 Neo/Xbox Scorpio deetz, Abzu's tranquillity, Hitman's future release plans/narrative potential and Ark: Survival Evolved's early access shenanigans.

If you stick around to the end, we begin to talk about bands we like and our musical endeavours, including the incredible tale of the time we were beefing with a terrible low-mid level metalcore band and invaded their art - real-life trolling gone right. It's fun. RIP in peace Yashin.

Writing on GamesCast Ep.8 - No Man's #Content Aug 04, 2016

Show notes

Hamish is stressed out his fucking box, Nico's taking sick bong hits, news is suuuuuper thin this week, it's all kicking off. We're here to bring you the #links you just gotta keep #clicking! We talk about all the latest games, including that sequel to Phantasmagoria you didn't know existed and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. Also, No Man's Sky takes 15 minutes to beat, Headlander is not a good video game, Metal Gear Solid V should have been a better video game, Metal Gear Solid as a series is good and horrible at the same time, Pokemon GO is a fucking horrible mess, video games are dumb and should all be banned. What a time to be alive.

Writing on GamesCast Ep.7 - Tomato Jones Jul 28, 2016

Show notes

We have a lot of news to discuss today so let's get to that real quick - right after we've talked about hot new platformer Tomato Jones and that Tekken free-to-play card game for about a million days. Also talked about is Quadrilateral Cowboy, Hitman, Metal Gear Solid V, Kentucky Route Zero, Tekken old and new, and some others I can't remember. We're talking hot NX news, hot other Nintendo news, hot Pokemon GO news, hot Iron Galaxy news, hot Life is Strange adaptation news, hot Sonic news, hot BZZZZZZZZZZZZ news, and other hot news. Our podcast is like magma, baby - don't get too close or you will literally die.

Writing on GamesCast Ep. 6 - 4000 SUBSCRIBERS HOLY HECK Jul 21, 2016

Show notes

The channel now has 4000 subscribers, so Hamish feels he now has the clout to sell Nico a bunch of games such as Inside, Hitman, Kentucky Route Zero and the latest and greatest platformer of all time, Tomato Jones. Pokemon GO's insidious side, Telltale's decline into mediocrity, Nico's unwanted perpetual Game Informer subscription and a post-outro 'bit' about first jobs and hard drugs all make an appearance. Thanks for supporting the channel, you guys.
