Episode 20: Go Big or Respawn [Bases Loaded]

Take us out to the ball game!  Take us out to the crowd with no animation!  Buy us some surprisingly complex pitching mechanisms and horrible batting.  We don't care if we ever come back!  Bases Loaded is the NES classic about hitting balls with sticks.



It's a home run! Take your walk to the download!

(1:10) Zach's finally made it to SC2 Silver League.  Geremy's playing everything.  This includes Word Realms.  It sounds pretty cool. 

(10:45) Sports games!  NFL Blitz is pretty fun, as is NBA Jam.

(15:00) Control schemes!

(19:00) Totally a Dreamcast.

(22:00) Man of Steel!  Kind of a specific marketing campaign.

(25:35) Bases Loaded.  It simulates baseball!  Fielding needs an active player indicator.  Apparently, newer baseball games are better.

(34:00) Final impressions of the game.  It's... not super fun.  Or regular fun, really.

(38:50) Tangent time!  Megatokyo is a pretty decent and incredibly long running story based web comic.  Watch the train go!

(40:00) Simulation and how much is necessary.  Dwarf Fortress is a thing.  Missteps in GTA.

Next week, Zombies Ate My Neighbors for the SNES. Grab your movie supplies for undead bashing!
