Indie game roundup – 18th August 2012

Mr Jones Mr Jones. Call me Mr Jones.

Welcome all! To avoid the awkward discussion on videos for indie games on the podcast each week where all we pretty much say is “You should watch the video” we have now put together a post where you can simply just watch the videos. A bit of a slow week to start off but rest assured other weeks will have a different amount of videos, although some will likely have the same.

Hit the break for the videos.

Look out for angry birds

Experience our new photorealistic episode as we make you feel things! Try not to rage-quit as the gents remember the games that most angried their blood, peer into the future of screen-o-vision with the new VR headset ‘Oculus’, and hear about how all MMOs are dead and we’re faced with a future of nothing but offline content! (not really). Also, EPIC NEWS ATTACK ROUND!

Episode 12 – One of these things is not like the other ones

Beware the Jabberwock my son
This week Paul, James and Ben welcome you to the twilight zone where nothing is real and everything is pretty much the same as before. Watch how the mighty Pro Evolution 2013 falls under the weight of our banter and not even Gabe Newell escapes our confused questioning of his motivations! Kickstarters, Indie games, Kinect and a news attack so long it belittles the very concept!  Also the boys bring up their top 5 games with non standard/unusual control schemes and DRAMA(tm) ensues.

Next week: The Dark Souls Memorial, Top 5 Ragequit moments in gaming

Episode 11 – Bread Salesmen

CARBULOUS!

This week the lads finally patched the bug that was making them less-handsome, but found it too expensive to get through certification, so now you’re stuck with their hideous features! This week they discuss crazy science future tech (again), grind some zombies for fat loot, and complain about the not-in-the-us tax with online sales. Now with a totally not obnoxious top five list for all to enjoy!
