Episode 42: Excessive Celebration [Tecmo Bowl]

High fives, and no play clocks!  Also, only 4 plays for each side, so it's super simple.  Touchdown!



Make a forward play for the download!


(02:20) Dude, bro!  Jason's on the show with us!

(04:20) C'mon and grab your friends.  Also, we talk briefly about some terrible games.

(07:30) Zach and Tyler relay the epic story of building Zach's computer.

(08:00) Pluggin' the fantasy league again!

(10:30) A processor that's designed to run around 60 C running at about 100C seemed to be our problem.

(12:00) Zach's current power setup.  Also, a discussion of current problems with our power systems.

(14:30) Meddling kids...  Time compression!

(16:00) Podcast topic, I choose you!

(17:00) More self-reference.

(20:00) We challenge Tyler's gamer cred.

(24:00) An absurd conversation about a universe where the names of plays in sports are sponsored.

(24:50) Gankorade, now in delicious Gun!

(29:00) Best high five ever.  Also... the half time show.  I wish it at least had this music.

(31:30) Gameplay choices!

(38:00) Indianapolis Narwhals!  Also, our final thoughts.

(43:00) Weird forms of DRM.

Episode 41: We Will Build A Wall [Life Force]

This week, we look at the sequel to one of our (read: Tyler's) favorite games for the show: Life Force!  It's basically Gradius, but not!  Get ready for some fancy flying as we veer up and slightly to the left of a pretty good game and into the territory of what we're actually playing.



I'd take an option that just downloads things for me while I walk around.


(01:30) Sweet new mixer time!  Internet celebrities.

(04:00) Join the hosts (not Tyler) in playing LoL some time!  State of Decay is still awesome.  Pills are super helpful.  Also, I found this, and it's awesome.

(09:30) Another DayZ comparison; maybe Tyler has PTDZD.

(10:20) These flash games are fun.

(14:00) For posterity!  It's an anime-themed fighter.

(17:20) Seriously, don't give these people money.

(18:45) Geremy's 3 gripes with Arkham Origins' combat changes.

(24:00) Detective mode!

(28:00) *Sean Connery voice* Yesh, fluffy...

(32:00) Spoilers(?) for New Horizons.

(36:30) Join Geremy's Fantasy eSports league!

(39:30) Life Force!  It has some arbitrary problems.  It's basically Gradius with cooler bosses and multiplayer.

(46:30) We talked about this one a while ago, but apparently it's applicable to a space shooter?

(50:00) Consequenceless deaths as a teaching tool.  It can also be painful.


Next time on Last Time, it's Tecmo Bowl!

We're open!

Episode 40: Gotta Go Fast [Mach Rider]

Now that we're back into it, let's speed things up!  In a dystopian future, there really ought to be more mutants or something.  At least there are oil spills everywhere.  Zoom!



Don't come up on this download from behind... it might explode!


(01:00) Everyone now plays League of Legends.  Except Tyler.  Mann vs. Machine exists, still!

(03:00) Arkham City was pretty good.  "Koreanism."  What a twist!

(09:00) Heroes of Might and Magic is a pretty cool series.  Risk of Rain, guys!

(11:00) Starwhal: Just the Tip is every bit as amusing as a game about celestial narwhals stabbing each other with their lightsaber horns ought to be.  Antichamber is confusing, but amusing.  Myst is used to be good?

(15:30) Tyler's Minecraft server (currently vanilla) is at home.lasttimeonvideogames.com!  Let me know if you want to join and I'll add you to the whitelist.

(17:00) Brawl n' Fortune Street: a dangerous combination.  Arkham Origins is apparently not as good as the others, but still fun.

(21:00) Special Beam I can't pronounce that!  Pretty sweet board games.

(26:00) Kagome!

(26:30) Since half of our listeners played it with us, I'll just say this: Prepare to fire!

(35:00) Mach Rider!  Not the same thing...

(41:00) Hi, I'm Batman!

Episode 39: Pirates are Cool, Oh My God [Uncharted Waters: New Horizons]

After a "totally planned we swear" hiatus, we're back with what might be one of the most awesome games about sailing and pirates ever. Also, there are assassins. It's also not the one you're thinking of. This week, we trade, steal, and sail our way to world domination with a remarkably accurate map of the 1520s!



Downloading now decreases the overall price of downloads in this country, allowing you to sell them for more in Turkey! 

(01:00) Giant turkeys and ice worlds.  Also, adorable.

(02:30) All the stuff we've been playing.  Zach's playing LoL now, so officially everyone in the world is.

(07:10) Dat noise.  You seriously had to listen to this every time.

(08:30) Did someone say pirates?

(13:00) On a tangent, a game about a time traveling thief musician.

(14:30) Shanties!

(16:20) We talk (read complain) about game pacing.  Arkham Asylum allows you to look around and stuff during the opening scene.

(26:00) New Horizons' cutscene problems: early 16-bit sprites moving around randomly is not entertaining.

(28:00) This game has 6 discrete scenarios.  Like some other game by the same company.

(30:00)  Go get famous.  Discover the dodo.  Attack everyone!  Sell stuff and invest in cities!  There are a ton of different ships.  Sail the entire known world.  Just skim this really quick to get an idea of the scope.

(35:00) You will likely end up with multiple food ships, like the Food, the More Food, the Pantry, or the Fridge.

(36:00) Naval combat is broadside, but you don't really have much control over what happens.  Your team just kinda mills around.  You can also duel people.  Fun.

(42:00) Crew is expensive.  It's like they eat or something.

(43:00) This game as a sweet mercantile system.  You can affect the price index of items in a port so you can buy stuff for cheap after selling a ton of similar goods there, then take the more expensive items to ports with higher price indices.  It's objectively great. 

(50:00) Like sea-faring exploration and being a merchant?  Play this!


Next time on Last Time, we're achieving supersonic speeds with Mach Rider.
