Episode 47: Deus Ex (Part 1)

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross blow the lid off of the first half of Deus Ex.

Everything you've heard is true. The fluoride in your water is intended to keep you docile. Black Helicopters are tracking your grocery habits. And smoking will kill others. Deus Ex is a delightful and terrifying game, where your hero is on the spectrum and all the world is a playground.

It should be noted that this is a Part 1. This episode goes up until you first get to Hong Kong. We will cover everything after that in the next episode.

Episode 46: Mario Golf / Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross chip into a kickflip to talk about both Mario Golf and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2.

We were originally going to talk about Mario Golf 64, but it wasn't robust enough. So, in a first for the show, we expanded our discussion to the entire series. Our conclusion is that it isn't Mario enough, and it isn't golf enough.

Boy do we hope you like music, because the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater discussion is littered with it. There's little to dislike about this awesome entry in a mostly bad series. Bring the noise.

Episode 45: Max Payne

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross enter an altered state to talk about Max Payne.

Your wife and only child are dead, and you want blood. Also, it's a noir video game. We ultimately express our indifference towards the shooter genre, but we love the presentation bits enough to extend a lot of good will toward it.

Episode 44: Metroid Prime

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross slather themselves with Phazon and talk about Metroid Prime.

An ancient evil springs of a meteor, a verbose race of bird people leave you notes, and a classic series is taken to 3D. Neither of us beat the game this time around, but we played enough to know that it doesn't succeed on a lot of levels.
