Fantastic Neighborhood 20: Feat. Pitbull

Published on June 28, 2012 by in Episodes

You guys, let’s go back in time. With Pitbull. We’re sad to bring you the last episode from our Bushwick studios. But we go out with a bang! After clearing up some snafus from last week’s show, we dive right in to Consumption Junction. We’ve got Just Cause, Just Cause 2, Virtua Fighter 5, and Oscura. Then we rhyme Kodak with Kodak. We finish up commiserating about our horrible experiences with Alone in the Dark. Game Club in two weeks is Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

Next week’s episode is super special. We’re going to be sharing our favorite patriotic moments in games, and we’d like you to help. You can email us, but we’d prefer you call our voicemail line at 720.HOODIE.6 and tell us about your favorite “FUCK YEAH AMERICUH!” moments in video games.

Music:

  • Crucial Dudes (RIP) – “5.9 – The Percent of the Beast”
  • Owl City & Carlie Ray Jepsen – “Good Time”
  • Pitbull – “Back in Time”
  • Will Smith – “Men in Black”
  • The Early November – “In Currents”
  • Popeska – “Super Best Friends”

0:00:00 Intro
0:02:25 Consumption Junction
0:27:40 Featuring Pitbull
0:47:50 Game Club – Alone in the Dark
1:02:35 Outro
1:14:05 Dubstep & Outtakes

UPDATE: The MP3 of the podcast was cutting off the last 4 min earlier and did not contain all the outtakes. We just reuploaded it with the full run of us being dumb. It is worth listening to again.

Dreamcast: Essential for Your Post-Apocalyptic Survival

Published on June 27, 2012 by in Articles, Rant

If you asked someone right now what they would pick if they could have one system to bring around with them during the zombie/plant/comet-heading-for-Earth apocalypse, what would it be? If they answered with anything but a rousing and heartfelt “DREAMCAST”, reach over and smack them in the back of the head. They are wrong, because the Dreamcast is the ONLY system worth having when the zombies are shambling your way. Don’t believe me? Read on.

Fantastic Neighborhood 19: The Plaith to Be

Published on June 21, 2012 by in Episodes

Oh wow, what a show. We’ve got special guest Will Gallego (@wcgallego) and we talk about a shit-ton of games. We kick off Consumption Junction with Joyride Turbo (XBLA), new tables for The Pinball Arcade (iOS and everything else), Radiant Historia (DS), the trials and tribulations of updating to Android 4.0 (Rhubarb Pie), and Borderlands. And then onto the real meat of the show: the next gen is almost here and we’ve got speculation and leaked Microsoft documents. We wind down with a visit to the 90s for Game Club, and some more speculation about future digital sales on XBLA. Next week’s game club will be Alone in the Dark (only $5).

Music:

  • Cage the Elephant – “Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked”
  • Eric Calderone – “Call Me Maybe”
  • LL Cool J – “I Can’t Live Without my Radio”
  • Guardian Heroes OST – “Meki Saxophone”
  • Alkaline Trio – “Stupid Kid”
  • Adventure Club feat. Krewella – “Rise & Fall”

Tea-Bagging Is Back For Halo 4, But Why Not Add These Other Classy Features?

Published on June 11, 2012 by in Articles

Teabagging is back in Halo 4! You heard right, wipe the fucking gunk from your ears, pigs are fucking flying outside and everything is right in the world. Arguably the most important aspect of the game, being able to embarrass strangers and most often minors in a way that combines the subtle grace of sexual harassment and rape with the edgy freshness of necrophilia all wrapped up in internet anonymity, is back according to Kotaku, and gods bless Kotaku for really digging for the tough, important stories.

Now being called the victory crouch (obviously in honor of Oceania’s decisive victory over Eurasia), defeated players will have the option to not watch their lifeless Spartan be dipped in the mouth, eyes, or ears by their opponent. Instead, they can simply respawn with a button press, the obvious N00b move.

So now that we know how 343 Industries is prioritizing its feature set for Halo 4, what other features do we think we can expect? Click through to see my predictions.
