NQcast01 – Press Start

Welcome to the first ever episode of the No Quarters Podcast. This week we debate the finer (and sometimes not) points of Modern Warfare 2. This devolves into general talk about being in bases shooting dudes.
After the break we pester Maki and his ever growing collection of plastic gaming peripherals and beg him not to give in to Tony Hawk: Ride. Talk some more about games involving simulated murder. Then finally finish up with our discussion of bargain games.
