Let me be the first to say… “SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!”
Dragon Age 2 is official, you’ll see it in the first Quarter of 2011 (perhaps on Feb 2nd? hmm? hmmm?)
The first trailer will make its presence known on August 17th of 2010.
Steve, Jon, and Erich convene for the weekly running of the gamuts. This time around we talk story-heavy RPGs like Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening and Oblivion, action powerhouse God of War III, open world blow ‘em up Just Cause 2, and the neoretro goodness of Mega Man 10 and Pokemon SoulSilver. The only bug in this program is the one we’re putting in your ear.

Steve and Adam join Erich for an RPG-heavy first segment. Adam talks Dragon Warrior V (or should that be Dragon Quest V?), Steve splits his time between the Dragon Age: Origins – Awakenings expansion pack and Final Fantasy XIII. He likes one but not the other; can you guess which is which? Erich, meanwhile, is still plugging away at Mega Man 10. In the second half of the show, the boys talk about the big news coming out of last week’s Game Developer’s Conference: Sony’s new Move motion controller. Is it a Wii killer, or weak… um… iller?

So I cracked open a copy of the hot off the press Dragon Age expansion from the suddenly prolific RPG gurus at Bioware only to discover the following card inserted into the game’s packaging:
Sorry for the crappy webcam pic, awash as it is with overhead flourescent lighting, but you can clearly see a nice rendering of the Dragon Age poster child, the Blood Dragon, and a single date…
Dragon age II? Another Dragon Age expansion? Your guess is as good as mine. Either way i applaud Bioware’s brilliant efforts at teasing the crap out of us. Given the relatively distant date given, my money is on a sequel.
Adam, Steve, and Erich spice up our big 50th episode with a little role playing. Mass Effect, Dragon Age: Origins, Oblivion, and White Knight Chronicles spearhead a stat-tastic game discussion that also includes Alien Vs. Predator, Dante’s Inferno, ‘Splosion Man, and demos for Heavy Rain, Battlefield: Bad Company, and Thexder Neo. Having missed last week’s Symposium Ad Nauseum, the gang tackles it this time around: Odd Choices for TV Show Video Game Adaptations. Do you like references to Canadian TV shows? Then you’ll love this!

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.

From the Makers of the Best RPG of 2009, Dragon Age: Origins, comes the first official expansion pack.
For centuries, the Grey Wardens—the ancient order of guardians, sworn to unite and defend the lands—have been battling the darkspawn forces. Legend spoke that slaying the Archdemon would have put an end to the darkspawn threat for centuries to come, but somehow they remain.
You are the Grey Warden Commander and have been entrusted with the duty of rebuilding the order of Grey Wardens and uncovering the secrets of the darkspawn and how they managed to remain.
How you choose to rebuild your order, how you resolve the conflict with “The Architect”, and how you determine the fate of the darkspawn will be but some of the many complex choices that await and shape your journey as you venture to the new land of Amaranthine.
A Stunning World Expanded: BioWare’s deepest universe to date just got bigger with an all new area of the world to explore, Amaranthine
All-new Complex Moral Choices: Embark on an epic story that is completely defined and reactive to your play style
New Ways to Customize your Hero: Experience additional spells, abilities, specializations, and items to further personalize and customize your hero and party
Even more Bone-Crushing, Visceral Combat: Battle against a new range of horrific and terrifying creatures
Let me the first to say; “HELL YES!” Release date is at the end of the trailer, and it’s closer than you think!
