Kefka in Final Fantasy 7?

File Under - Whatever No comments

It’s slowed down but that is the laugh of the most evil bastard ever in gaming. I know I haven’t played the game since the 90s but I honestly can’t remember that location Cloud is in. Is that from Final Fantasy 7 or one of the spinoffs?

Dear Dragon Quest 9 F@CK YOU!

File Under - Reviews 2 comments

So about three weeks ago I picked up DQ9 for my DS with the intent of beating and reviewing for all you fine people. The reason I chose this game aside from all the praise I heard about it was the fact I was going to be out of the country for a week. That’s right I went to Portugal (specifically the island Terceira) for a cousins wedding. My Thinking was of the thought that instead of embracing my culture and spending time with my family, I instead would play my Japanese game. To be fair it was a mash up of the two but by my trips end I had pumped at least 20 hours into DQ9, with no end in sight.

Bonus Level Radio 46 – Not Canon

File Under - Podcasts 1 comment

This episode is awesome. I know as one of the hosts on the show I am a little biased towards it but I generally feel like this is one of of top five shows. Well top ten. Jess is still out on assignment so she sadly couldn’t join us which is why the show can’t be top five. Seriously though, we ended the show and I was totally jazzed and I think anyone who listens to us will love this episode. Even those who don’t would enjoy it! Hell, I bet Rick will even enjoy it!

Since it’s been a while since our last traditional podcast we had a lot to cover and we covered it all. Our old friend Jon joined us and did a fantastic job. We covered CNN’s front page article asking what Video Games mean, Canada’s first female owned development studio, Activision thinking Call of Duty is this generations Star Wars, a 42 year old woman who used XBoxs to molest a couple of boys and Guillermo Del Toro not directing Wolfman as well as signing a development deal with THQ. And that’s just half of it if not less. It’s a great show one worth spreading around!

Super Mario World Easter Egg(s)

File Under - Whatever No comments

Last week we found a little easter egg in Mario Kart 64. Today we bring you two easter eggs in one. Well one people probably already knew about but I didn’t know. Did you know that if you had Yoshi eat a green berry it gave you 20 more seconds in the level? Yeah I didn’t know that either. Check out the above video to see an interesting use of this little trick.

Clint Hocking Drops Mind-Melting Knowledge

File Under - Whatever No comments

Clint Hocking is for all those not in the know are mad smart. Like crazy crack your skull open and eat the good on the inside smart. Ego-stroking aside he was a Lead Designer on Far Cry 2 until he handed in his resignation early this year. Now Far Cry 2 is a game that tried some very interesting things and though mostly didn’t succeed still was a bright unique game in a sea of sameness. (Noble Failure…hmmm)

Now Mr. Hocking is always talking about game design with all his big old smart talk and he has just put up an hour and half talk about game immersion. It’s a great listen and will defiantly go over some people’s heads. Enjoy!
