Episode 100, Part 2

On the second part of our 100th episode extravaganza, we manage to make it through 32 of... over 100 games. Well, we're making progress!

I suppose the download could be in multiple parts. It's not, though.

Show Notes

Since this episode is still all the rankings, here's what we ended up with:

Next time on Last Time, we try to get closer to finishing this list!

I'm sorry we let Zach talk!

Episode 100, Part 1

Somehow we've been managing to do this for 100 episodes. From our perspective, that's a pretty solid 2 years of talking about videogames for an hour each week (which sounds a lot less like an accomplishment now that I write that). In this multipart retrospective, we attempt to qualitatively rank all the games we've played so far, including our bonus episodes/multi-game episodes. It's surprisingly fun! Let us know your thoughts!

This download only counts to 13.

Show Notes

(06:20) 7 Days To Build a Sweet Water Fortress.

(10:10) Fire Emblem: still good.

(18:00) Space Hulk Ascension!

(24:00) Anime presents unrealistic standards for women.

(40:00) We start our rankings! I'll update this page with our rankings, but here's what we have after the first week:

Castlevania
Gradius
Metroid
Mega Man
Super Mario Bros.
Kirby's Adventure
Final Fantasy
Harvest Moon
Sonic The Hedgehog
ActRaiser
Gunstar Heroes
The Legend of the Mystical Ninja
Double Dragon

Next time on Last Time, our episode 100 retrospective, continued!

I suppose we'll let Zach talk...

Episode 99: Construction Is Over [Zanac]

Because this week's game is about a vertical space shooter, clearly this week's theme is... tanks! Lots of tanks. Also, DBZ, but that's more of a theme in the podcast than any individual episode. While we're at it, we talk a bit about everyone's favorite game that randomly makes you stop moving to fight a building. Riveting stuff here, folks.

Our download can either wiggle a little bit or kill every virus on its way to your computer. Seems like a fair trade.

Show Notes

(01:00) Snarky skulls and chainsaw massacres!

(03:00) The pistol guy in Killer 7 is Coyote. Reading his bio should make you understand why this game was critically acclaimed and commercially panned.

(04:00) Trifroze's Falcon!

(09:00) Dillon's Rolling Western is a really cool concept that suffers from some control/mechanic issues.

(13:30) Heroes 6 is pretty fun... still. Unfortunately, most games, including this one, needs a text size on option for larger screens.

(21:00) League: one of the few contexts where "fed as hell" doesn't involve bloating. Related: Nemesis Mode sounds pretty cool.

(27:30) Kirby vs. Majin Buu!

(32:00) DBZ Xenoverse: The Adventures of Dumplin!

(34:30) Fire Man!

(37:00) Turns out the way to make money in Fallen London is just selling your 5000 jade fragments and take the exchange hit.

(39:45) Tanks and guns on tanks.

(43:00) Guys, a good game published by Sega in the 2010s! Also, more tanks.

(50:00) H1Z1 is like a terrible DayZ.

(53:30) Zanac: It's better than Star Soldier!

Next time on Last Time, our episode 100 retrospective!

100 times the fun of Double Mint Gum!
