The First Person Shouter — Sat, 20 Jun 2015 13:26:12 +0000

This week we’re joined by special guest Jon Holland for an E3 special, in which we carve the roast Keighley and all gather around the gruff man's bottom for a look back at the greatest holiday of the year. In a show full of robot dinosaurs, robot dogs and robot presenters it was a busy year and there's a lot to discuss, like Recore, Hitman, XCOM 2, Fire Emblem, Lego Dimensions and more.

The First Person Shouter — Sat, 13 Jun 2015 15:10:29 +0000

There’s more news from the world of virtual reality, with the Oculus Rift devs announcing their partnership with Microsoft and plans to release their own motion controller. It’s also the beginning of the end (for our wallets) as the Steam Summer Sale kicks off. Elsewhere, we’ve been tucking into the Valkyria chronicles and the new towerfall expansion, plus questions make a welcome return! And as a special bonus, at around 1:07:25 we seem to briefly merge with the denizens of the 7th circle of hell. Sorry about that.

We then get excited about the new XCOM, and Matt raves about the similar but just as exciting Invisible Inc. We also both confess to learning the dragon tongue with the amazing Skyrim mod, Thu'umic.

I apologize in advance for the references to Coldplay. Tracklist: Jumper (Castle Crashers) Ballad of the Wind Fish (Link's Awakening) Slide (Super Mario 64) Band Land (Rayman)

Episode 17-Gamergate's Early Access Infinifactory

The First Person Shouter — Sat, 21 Feb 2015 16:46:51 +0000

Originally recorded on 21/02/15 Caution: The first 11 minutes of this episode contain discussion of sexual assault. There's also a slightly rushed cut to a jolly song. This episode opens with a long dissection of the 'Gamergate' episode of Law and Order SVU, a horrendously offensive attempt to distill an analogy for recent events in gaming into a 45 minute police procedural. After that depressing segment there's discussion about Catapult-'em-up early access title Besiege again, schmup-'em-up Resogun, logic-'em-up Infinifactory and our general thoughts on the Early Access model. The songs featured in this episode were: LocoRoco Main Theme (LocoRoco)-Kouno Battle Theme (Final Fantasy X HD Remaster)-Nobuo Uematsu, Masashi Hamauzu and Junya Nakano Ready for Deployment (Resogun)-Ari Pulkkinen Short Change Hero (Borderlands 2)-The Heavy
