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.

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.

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.

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.

An extended community section is followed by Jon and Fred regailing each other with stories of criminals, intrigue, and ….. MURDER? No. No murder.

All I should have to say is Divekick. PAXEast 2013 is finally over and boy was it a good one! Just way too much for one person to take it all in.

We have a Fancy Wine and Cheese party with friend of the show and writer at Ubisoft Montreal, C.J. Kershner (Homefront, Rainbow 6 Patriots.) By fancy we of course mean we dressed like big kids. And by wine and cheese we mean 20 dollar bourbon and cheese.

There is not much structure to this show because when C.J. comes on we throw caution to the wind. But we do talk about Sim City, Dead Space 3, Feminist Frequency, TPB AFK, and more HAWT gamer stories. We also talk about unmanned in gameclub.

Our sponsor this week is Goatify.Me, Not really but this is a super useful website.

Did anyone get that awesome filibuster joke / topical political reference I just made? Jon and I float in and out of the politics of gaming, and also float in and out of being interested. Sure to excite.

On the list today is Dead Space 3, Fire Emblem: Awakening, Tomb Raider, and Dys4ia.

I mean, you guys can listen to this episode all you want. It’s not like Jon is gonna care man. Like not even a little. Whats the point of caring anyway, when you just get your heart broken by Gearbox and Randy Pitchford. An embezzlement scandal? Jon’s heart lay shattered on the floor.

Fred continue to play Dead Space 3 and doesn’t like the love triangle. No surprise there, those only lead to heartbreak.

We are quite literally frothing at the mouth (Well, figuratively literally) trying to figure out what the oncoming Nex Gen consoles have in store for us. Instead of waiting for Thursdays episode, and instead of waiting for the rumored PS4 announcement on the 20th, we decide to play a little game of Marry, Bang, Kill where we decide the fate of the next gen based on known, rumored, and probably some completely fabricated features!

We made it a whole year with, I would say no more than 5 vicious breakups. For us that’s not bad. Not bad at all.

So in honor of that we fed the  show notes through Random.org and talked about them in the order they came out in. That is not a joke.

In this episode, in no particular order, we talk about Dead Space 3,  Fire Emblem, Extra Lives: Why Video Games Matter, All Superheros must die, Analogue: A Hate Story, the current Aliens: Colonial Marine Debacle, UFC Trainer, and Fred shares his latest invention!

Next week’s game club is Aliens Infestation on the DS.

Welcome back! This week, we discuss the HAWTest new releases, like Saints Row 3 and The Amazing Spider-Man for DS.

As promised in Episode 48, here is the full interview with Brendan Keogh, author of Killing is Harmless: A Critical Reading of Spec Ops: The Line. Brendan had a ton of great things to say about games, war, the international perception of American gun violence, gun control in Australia, and effective uses of music in games. He was generally a great guy with a ton of valuable insight.

The episode is sprinkled with spoilers, so if you haven’t yet, make sure to play Spec Ops: The Line and read Killing is Harmless: A Critical Reading of Spec Ops: The Line.

We’ve got a special show lined up for you very lucky and loyal hoodlums. Brendan Keogh, author of Killing is Harmless: A Critical Reading of Spec Ops: The Line, joins us to discuss violence & storytelling in games, his book, and our 2012 winner of the “Games Dun Growed Up Award,” Spec Ops: The Line. We’ll have the entire, spoiler-filled interview up tomorrow.

Of course we’ve got the normal stuff like Consumption Junction and Hype Bonernanza, where we discuss how to purchase Fire Emblem and Dead Space. Oh, and congrats to Ben Affleck for winning all those Globez. Argo was really good.

After the interview with Brendan, which will conclude tomorrow, we reboot What’s in Jon’s Closet and start our Game Club for XCOM.

You guys, I dreamed a dream, in times gone by, when hope was high and life worth living, that Fred and Jon would reunite in the new year to record a regular-ass episode of Fantastic Neighborhood. So we’re back. Big thanks to all our charity partners, you champions of accessibility. Prizes will ship soon. After a long consumption junction (featuring big games like Far Cry 3, Forza Horizon, and Adult Swim’s Major Mayhem), and a Les Mis critique, we dish more predictions (next gen controllers  game streaming, and alternate pricing structures), resolutions (to stay away from Cheap Ass Gamer and Thrifty Nerd), and awards (Spoiler – The Pinball Arcade wins everything, forever. Game of the century). Game Club sees the boys facing down their holiday challenges, Spec Ops: The Line and Gitaroo Man.

For the rest of the month, we’ll be playing XCOM and talking about our squads and missions and stuff.

This was a tough one to finish. So many friends, so many fun times. 2012…

First up, we talk with some close friends of the show (Ryan Hewson of Perpetual Geek Machine, Harold Price of Cross Border Gaming, and Will Gallego) about their top picks for 2012! What games made the cut? You’ll have to listen.

Then Jon and Fred go into another new yearly tradition, the Hoodie awards, or Hoodies for short. The Hoodies celebrate the best of the, well, whatever categories we pick. We also have a special guest judge at one point, Rich Coonelly of PerpetualGeekMachine.net!

We close the show with sad gamer obituaries, new years resolutions, bold predictions for 2013, remembering some of the bands we may have broken up over the course of the year, and a special thank you to everyone who made 2012 a Fantastic Neighborhood year. We also premier the long lost last song from Measured in Grey to end the show.

Jon and Fred then exchange gifts as part of their Christmas bromance, and with all these special guests who knows who may drop by the Cabin. You’ll just have to listen to the episode to find out!

Jon bros out hard with Madden 13, tries ZombiU and Uncharted 3, and goes balls deep in iOS with You Don’t Know Jack, Raiden, and Middle Manager of Justice. Fred played another free-to-play shooter, Hawken, which destroyed his machine and led to an impromptu session of Tech Talk Weekly™.

After wrapping up Game Club for Hotline Miami, the boys assign each other X-Mas break games.

Speaking of X-Mas break, the next two episodes will be something a little special. Next week will be favorite holiday memories, and the week after will be personal GOTY. If you have something to say, give us a shout at 720.HOODIE.6 (720.466.3436).
