Episode 46: Talking About the Birds and the Bears [Banjo-Kazooie]

The game that at least one of the hosts considers the epitome of 3D platformers is finally appearing on the podcast!  Grab your backpack of bird holding, and wing flip your way off with us!



Collectibles?  Downloads qualify, right?

(03:00) Super Mario 3D World was a thing we did.

(07:00) Tyler talks about Skyrim for a bit.

(12:00) Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion!  It's an RTS in space where you can zoom from galactic level all the way down to ship-to-ship combat.  It's surprisingly deep, but simple to play.

(16:30) Zach's tales of Mech Warrior: Online.  Same ass kicking occurred.  G-Nome was awesome in the 90s.

(21:30) PC games defaulting to explaining how games work with the 360 controller.

(23:30) Own a Wii U?  This might interest you.

(30:00) Dynasty Warrior 8 is apparently pretty good.  With planes.

(39:30) 3D worlds as scavenger hunts and motivation for exploration.

(48:30) Collectible balance in Banjo-Kazooie.

(52:30) New moves as progress gating.

(60:00) We try to remember what games existed on the N64.  It appears to be mostly racing and, apparently, sports.

(62:00) Sandbox/open world games as a replacement for 3D platformers.
