NQcast14 – Audi

This episode we talk Monday Night Combat, Alan Wake DLC, Splinter Cell Conviction, Forza Motorsport 3 and Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands.

It’s also plenty of racing game memories as we attempt to figure out what happened with Gran Tursimo and where the community went for Blur. Then it’s on to Harlo’s deep dark secret and a trip down memories of Blizzard’s attempts at console games. Plus, MOAR BORDERLANDS OMG OMG! as Gearbox announces the fourth and final DLC for our beloved game. And, of course, we wrap up with our value picks.

NQcast14 – ‘Audi’ Show Notes

First half!

  • Alan Wake DLC (Fatheads, cutouts and alarm clocks! Sadly, no thermoses.)
  • Monday Night Combat (It’s like Team Fortress 2 meets Disenfranchisement of the Ancients!)
  • Blur (Where did the multiplayer community go?)
  • Red Dead Redemption (Maki posses on up to multiplayer!)
  • Rock Band 2 (Tstrel says if you don’t have tons of DLC, don’t bother with multiplayer!)
  • Ghostbusters (Still waiting on Ernie Hudson Oz DLC!)
  • Prince of Persia: Fallen Sands (It’s Prince of Nebraska! With PoP: Sands of Time style puzzles!)
  • Maki hits 50k (People with proper social lives shake their heads in disapproval.)
  • Forza 3 (Maki really geeks out about how much he loves this game!)
  • Gran Turismo series (Where did you go, Joe DiMaggio? We wax nostalgic for a series we really, really used to love.)
  • Split Second (The TVGP crew has convinced us we need this. Now for a price drop…)
  • Tiger Woods 10 (No cocktail waitress minigames… That’s in Tiger 12!)
  • Burnout Revenge (Who’s still playing? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone…?)
  • EA’s DLC (Discounts sell DLC, guys. Where are your Deals of the Week?)

Second Half! (50:20)

  • World of Warcraft (Harlo goes back down the rabbit hole. WHY, GOD, WHY?)
  • Starcraft (Should Maki bother with the original? Can he even download it?)
  • Starcraft 2 (Still waiting on Harlo to get it. Why did he resubscribe to WoW, again?)
  • Rage (Can’t wait for the engine. The game? Not so much.)
  • Splinter Cell Conviction (Careful with those Uplay points, FISHER!)
  • Xbox Themes (Why are we talking about this?)
  • Borderlands (Dude! More DLC! DUDE!)
  • Duke Nukem Forever (Dude! More DNF! From Gearbox!? DUDE!)
