Published on May 16, 2013 by in Episodes

Jon is out this week so our good pal C.J. Kershner joins the Hood!

This week, we get deep into Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon – where it works and where it doesn’t. We talk a lot about the inner workings of the game industry, so this is good for all you guys who like to look behind the curtain. Then we move on to things we are hyped for… In our Banana Phone segment.

Fantastic Neighborhood 64: Nic Cage on Broadway

Published on May 9, 2013 by in Episodes

niccagegroup

Sometimes we have great ideas. We’d like to think that “Nic Cage on Broadway” may be the best one yet.

This week, we consume some new titles including Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and Star Command. Fred mentions that he likes Iron Man 3 and then does not say why, and we talk about some current events on the newly named Hype Banana.

Fantastic Neighborhood 62: More Indie than You with Cassie Chui

Published on April 25, 2013 by in Episodes

cassiechui

We are joined this week by special guest Cassie Chui, level designer from the upcoming ElectronicSuperJoy!

In Consumption Junction, Cassie describes what it’s like to be a masochist by means of Monster Hunting, we have an impromptu therapy session with Jon’s rampant Fire Emblem addiction, and Fred FINALLY beats Gears (and gets punchy about it). We also talk about Badland, Injustice, and Poker Night at the Inventory!

We have a bit of a Q and A with Cassie about how she got involved with ESJ, what its like to be an indie level designer, and when we can play the game!

In Game Club, Fred tries to regale us with his gamer injury story and we talk about The Silent Age on iOS. Next weeks game club is Star Seed Pilgrim!

NOTE: At some point we had an audio “flub” where this commercial gets played over Cassie. We will try to fix but not sure if we can, so our bad :( We decided to leave it in because we did not want to cut Cassies audio.

Fantastic Neighborhood 61: Canceled Desserts

Published on April 18, 2013 by in Episodes

fireflan

The episode title and image make no sense until the end, but they are funny. Promise.

Jon and Fred had to Skype the show this episode, but since we are just so super-pro, I’ll bet you can’t even tell. Topics of discussion include how to raise a family with a dead wife (in Fire Emblem), why the mindless berzerkers of Gears of War: Judgement may be a bit too mindless, and Jon’s apprehension towards DLC for Bioshock: Infinite. Jon also shares his list of shame with us, including Dragon’s Crown.

In Gameclub we play Evoland and enjoy the hell out of it. Next week’s game is The Silent Age.

This week’s alternate title is “Real Crime Stories!”

We dragged the studio equipment out to the patio and recorded our first-ever out doors episode! Discussion of Ouya’s failing, Michael Biehn’s post-Navy SEALS career (Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon), and more Gears of War. An extended community section is followed by Jon and Fred regailing each other with stories of criminals, intrigue, and ….. MURDER? No. No murder.

Next week’s Gameclub game is Evoland.

If you don’t recognize the tunes, Shazam that shit and educate yourself! Except for the new Adventure Club mix, which is new, so you may not have heard it.
