By · CommentsNQcast14 – ‘Audi’ Show Notes
First half!
- Alan Wake DLC (Fatheads, cutouts and alarm clocks! Sadly, no thermoses.)

Game Over by Levar Slays Dragons
By · CommentsThis guy is such a N.E.R.D. Great song. I like the lyrics but I want an instrumental to jam out to.
NQcast13 – Yahurr
By · CommentsThis episode we talk Crackdown 2, Deathspank, and more Red Dead Redemption. Then we discuss our neutral (no really!) feelings on Starcraft II and the continuing love of Diablo II. I hear you get to fight Diablo II at the end.
Then it’s down to some complaints about the NCAA 11 demo and Playstation Network’s slow connections. We’re joined by fan turned contributor Eric aka GreenCapt and contributor turned fan shiny lights TStrel. We’re minus Maki in studio but he joins us via the wonderful world of Skype. It’s just a whole mess of crazy this time around.
NQcast12 – Cougar Hunting
By · CommentsThis episode we talk more Red Dead Redemption, Alan Wake, Just Cause 2 and a little Blur. Plus, the return of the Borderlands speed round and a review for the fan made King’s Quest-inspired game The Silver Lining.
Then we talk the future of gaming with motion control and 3D. Are Sony and Microsoft getting into a business for which there is no market? Join Harlo and Maki with special guests TStrel and Jeff to replace the absent BJ as they tackle these and other gaming issues.
NQcast11 – 87 Thermoses
By · CommentsThis episode we talk the big damn game Red Dead Redemption. Then we collect corporate sponsored thermoses in Alan Wake, wrap up Red Faction: Guerrilla and take to the stars in Neptune’s Pride.
There’s talk of four recent demos and not a real winner among them. We also go down memory road as Maki gets a top loaded NES and a grippe of the most desirable carts from that age. And, of course, value picks!
NQ11 – Show Notes
By · CommentsNQcast11 – ’87 Thermoses’ Show Notes
First half!
- Red Dead Redemption (Awesome. Also, janky. But still awesome!)
- Alan Wake (99 problems but a thermos ain’t one! Also, passive aggressiveness leads to hilarity!)
Second Half! (38:20)
- Red Faction Guerilla (It’s BJ’s grand finale as he conquers this open world. Also, way too many uncomfortable allegories!)
- Red Faction Armageddon (Going underground might not be good. Also, The Roots? On Mars!)
- Neptunes Pride (Free online strategy… IN SPACE. Also, NOT on Facebook! Also, np.ironhelmet.com!)
- Green Day Rock Band (Yup, it’s Rock Band. With Green Day. Also, not as good as The Beatles Rock Band!)
- Rock Band 3 (Keyboards! 80s songs! Realistic guitars! Also, KEYBOARDS!)
- Beatles Rock Band (Keyboard DLC? It only makes sense… Also, if you are listening Harmonix, WE WILL BUY THAT.)

- Dreamcast games (On XBLA and PSN! Crazy Taxi! Also, JET GRIND RADIO, NOW PLEASE!)
- Demos: Iron Man 2 (It sucks. Also, it sucks!)
- Demos: Transformers: War For Cybertron (Why multiplayer only? Also, it sucks!)
- Demos: Earthworm Jim HD (Not as awesome as you remember? Also, it’s not Harlo’s thing anyway!)
- Demos: Backbreaker (Definitely NOT Blitz. Also, it sucks!)
Value Game Picks! (1:43:07)

Scheduling change
By · CommentsAs we talked about in the latest episode of BMFcast, we are changing our schedule around slightly. What’s this mean to you? That’s why I decided to break this down.
When we started No Quarters we thought we would just alternate our podcasts weekly with the result of each of them being released bi-weekly. Problem is, sometimes we would not have enough to really generate content for NQ since that requires us to have played some games. A gaming podcast where you haven’t played any games or the same old ones doesn’t make for a lot of fun to listen to. So we’ve decided to back that down to once a month to allow for us to get some gaming in between.
So what’s this mean for No Quarters? Simple. One less episode a month on average. We’ll now do three weeks in a row of BMF to one NQ. We’re also are on a mission to make the posting time a lot closer to when we record. I take most of that blame as life would come up from time to time and the editing process would always get bumped. Now I am going to attempt to always have casts posted on Fridays. Most of the time first thing in the morning but worst case by the end of the day.
We’d also like to welcome anyone coming from Gamers With Casts as we’ve recently been added to their lineup. We hopefully will use the downtime of now casting monthly to focus on updating the site here with more written content which was a goal all along. Now if you’ll excuse me, there’s some chaos that needs to happen on Panua Island.
NQcast09 – MFVGP
By · CommentsThis episode we talk Blur multiplayer beta demo. Then we get all excited talking Crackdown 2 and plenty of tower defense talk. We talk the finer points of virtual terrorism in Just Cause 2 and more Red Faction: Guerrilla.
Then after the break we discuss the Mass Effect 2 DLC, the future of gaming with the iPad, Xbox 360 storage and our Borderlands speed round. Finally we wrap up with our value picks.
NQcast10 – Fanc
By NoQuarters · Comments (0)This episode we talk Just Cause 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Steam gaming for the Mac, Red Faction: Guerrilla, Star Wars: Force Unleashed, the Rockstar library and a Demolition of Demos. Then we debate the best single player experience and which current generation platform offers it.
Stay through the end for some outtakes as well because we’re not always the polished professionals we appear.
