This 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!

NQcast11 – ’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.)
  • Top-loading NES (Miracles abound as Greencapt and Harlo unleash old-school gaming amazingness on Maki. Also, RC Pro Am!)
  • 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)

  • Lost Planet (BJ says it’s cheaper than the sequel. Also, better!)
  • Fable 2 (Harlo says to fart on your future wife. Also, your dog!)
  • The Darkness (Maki says it’s fun to be a darkness snake thing. Also, it doesn’t suck!)
