Episode 162: Peasantly Plum [Mario Gold]

What does a lowly serf have to do in the Mushroom Kingdom to earn some prestige?  Why, participate in the Mario Open, of course!  As it turns out, Mario used to be a pretty good golfer when he was a baby.  Pick, and choose, the best club for a Nice On! and compete against such notable Mario golfers as Frank and Gene Yuss.  Putter on over to the nearest course and rough it up!

Show Notes

(02:30) This movie is as stupid as it sounds.

(07:00) MGO is just silly.

(10:00) Pixelmon's looking really good.

(15:00) Barbarians!

(20:00) Oh, Yo-Kai.  It does look pretty Pokemon.

(21:00) Squall vs. Cloud: Angst Fight!

(24:00) 605 km, or 376 miles, for Dragonite from Dratini.

(27:00) Can you run into other people?

(30:00) On the list of characters, Charlie was apparently the real name of Larry.

(41:00) Ranked under par.

Episode 161: Kill the Cows [Lords of the Realm II]

Never before has an RTS been so attached to a turn-based resource management system. We have, of course, seen the opposite, but this has a lot more... swords? Everyone likes swords, so we can promise that this game will definitely be cool. Farm meat and wheat, feed peasants, conscript and tax the daylights out of them, and make yourself some sort of proprietor of a large chunk of land!



Feed downloads to the peasantry for more troops.


Show Notes

(04:30) Survive's trailer at least seems pretty Kojima.  Also, spoilers about Tyler's adventures, it was literally just one more mission.  Speaking of voyeur showers, you can apparently smell awful...

(08:00) Some Hideo-PA.

(08:10) Clarification: Absol's face is too human.

(15:00) Space Hulk: Deathwing, new and FPSy.

(18:30) VNCreator! Can you make one better than that pigeon one?

(21:30) Cinematic magic.

(32:00) So many problems with the combat.

(41:30) Strategic ranks.

Episode 160: As You Know, You're Listening To Episode 160 of LTOVG [Phantasy Star II]

As you know, this game is about being in a world where some monsters are running around.  Because you've played this before, it should be no surprise that you and your catgirlfriend need to go stop that nonsense.  I, the podcast summary writer, am directing you to listen to this.



A download slightly more useful than a catgirlfriend.


Show Notes

(04:20) And then the Zulu nation attacked.

(11:00) Basically our weekend.

(15:00) Well, excuuuse me, princess!  You don't know what you're minishing.

(17:00) Stranger Things has such good music, guys.

(18:30) Scythe seems super cool.

(22:00) JRPG music.  Some's better than others.

(24:00) Phantasy Star II has easily the worst example of As You Know I've ever seen.  At least Nei is cool?  Also some lameass attempt at villain justification.

(30:00) Ugh, the combat.  TPKs are super problematic due to the fact that multiple rounds will pass.

(41:00) On the list, I suppose.

Episode 159: I Can't Believe It's Not GBA! [Shantae]

Arabian nights are harder than Arabian days; turns out we all misunderstood that line for a long time.  Join our purple-haired misfit as she travails across... Land Land?  Well, that wouldn't be surprising, given the named by an engineer towns such as Water Town, Bandit Town, and Oasis Town.  Stop a sexy pirate costume from building a steam mecha and... wait...  That sounds awesome.  Can we just do that?



Dancing right into my download.


Show Notes

(06:00) Wonder trading!  Also, it's just Galvantula.  We were trying to hard.

(09:30) Sweet HM slaves!

(12:00) Uranium was banhammered.  Thanks, Nintendo.  Other games just aren't as popular, I guess.

(19:00) Balrogs!

(21:20) Sadly, the only clip of the sweet ship cannon I could find.

(25:00) Attack with all the subtlety of a preteen lyricist.

(29:00) A large pile of discussion about Shantae's design choices.

(30:00) A discussion about the oddly sexy art.

(32:00) Unrest sounds pretty cool.

(36:00) Sweet moves, bro.

(44:00) Only a half-ranking has weird powers like that.
