BLAST PROCESSING! Episode 47: Sports, Theology, and Pinball

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Dave, Tim, and Erich do their best to alienate listeners with musings on the religious implications of recent games, the tail-end of the NFL season, and NBA Jam tournament memories. The boys make up for it, though, with another 40 minutes of video game talk. Tim still loves Modern Warfare 2, Dave sings the praises of Darksiders, Erich learns a valuable lesson about his gaming tastes thanks to Batman: Arkham Asylum, and should difficulty count in review scores? The capper is this week’s Symposium Ad Nauseum: Over My Dead Body is My Daughter Marrying That Guy. Oh, and pinball.

BLAST PROCESSING! Episode 46: Rock ‘n’ Roll High School

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

rnrhs_bp

Jon and Steve join Erich for a gamestravaganza of epic-ish proportions! There is praise-singing for Darksiders and Bayonetta, admiration for Army of Two: the 40th Day, and iPhone game recommendations by Steve (yes… Steve). In other news, Jon digs into Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Erich can’t stop talking about Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection (though he does so long enough to give his long overdue impressions of Batman: Arkham Asylum), and Steve talks about going to the coolest high school ever. Keeping with the awkward teen theme, the crew wraps things up with this week’s Symposium Ad Nauseum: the ideal video game prom date.

BLAST PROCESSING! Episode 45: What Adam Said

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

baby_shock_bp

Erich, Dave, and Adam cover a lot of video game ground this episode: Dave’s first impressions of the much-anticipated Bayonetta, Adam’s disappointment about delayed Dragon Age DLC, Erich’s downloadable dabbling and love of Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection. One thing you won’t hear is what Adam accidentally said then asked be edited out. How awful was it? You’ll just have to guess. Meanwhile, enjoy this week’s Symposium Ad Nauseum: Babies. Make your New Year’s resolution to listen to this podcast. It’s way easier than losing weight.

Review: Bayonetta (PS3) – Import

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Bayonetta07

Note:  The following review is based on an imported copy of the Japanese release.  Bayonetta is scheduled for release in North America on January 5th, 2010.

Opening Statement:
I’ll admit, for the last year or so, I haven’t been the most eager to play Sega’s upcoming Bayonetta, a prophesized action epic from Platinum Games (the crazed geniuses behind last year’s Mad World for the Wii) and director Hideki Kamiya (the future legend behind Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe and Okami; pay your respects at the altar).  As I just typed the evidence of its pedigree, I realize that my bull headed and blind prejudice has denied me any sense of excitement for what has turned out to be a concentrated burst of gaming dynamite.  With Bayonetta, Kamiya and Platinum Games have served up a witch’s brew of devilish fun.

BLAST PROCESSING! Episode 42: Bloodsnobs and Broomsticks

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

lansbury_bp

In this week’s episode, Erich, Jon, and a distant-sounding Dave talk about games they’ve played, games they want to play, and games no one’s actually played yet. After a lengthy Bayonetta discussion, chat turns to other forthcoming titles including Darksiders and Dead Space 2. In other news, Dave rents Band Hero, Erich is stuck on Mario, and Jon refuses to acknowledge alternate pronunciations for “guillotine.” This week’s Symposium Ad Nauseum: who do you want in your foxhole (besides Angela Lansbury, of course)?

Bayonetta Demo Impressions, Climax-a-Riffic!

Friday, December 4th, 2009

bay

Any action gamer worth his button mashing has probably had Sega’s Bayonetta on the radar screen for some time.  There’s a high-end pedigree behind Platinum Games’ eyeball-spanking hack and slasher and I’ve been following its slow march to a January release date for some time.  The demo made its way to Live this week and I dutifully–and excitedly–took it for a spin.  My reaction?
