This episode we declare the Year of Game to have begun. BJ finds himself in a new job with more flexible spending allowed for games and gaming peripherals. Maki has declared his new resolution to be beat two owned games before allowing himself to buy one new one. Harlo is unchanging in that he still hates Assassin’s Creed I.

Join us as we discuss all things Assassin’s Creed, our deluge of Steam holiday sale purchases and the true future of gaming as we finally tackle Tony Hawk: Ride.

NQcast19 – ‘The Year of Game’ Show Notes

First half!

  • 360 RROD (BJ Enjoys the fun!)
  • Steam Purchases (We all enjoy the fun!)
  • AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! – A Reckless Disregard for Gravity (Computer base jumping at its finest)
  • PC Gaming In General (Harlo has problems with PC gaming. Sad face.)
  • Metro 2033 (Harlo doesn’t beat it but says it feels “off”)
  • Assassin’s Creed (The world’s best-looking Beggar Annoyance Simulator!)
  • Assassin’s Creed 2 (It’s Mirror’s Edge with swords! But totally different!)
  • Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood (The Bag of Spilling strikes… And it is a bummer)
  • Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare (Maki gets 100% in it and gets depressed over this fact)
  • Force Unleashed 2 & Endor DLC (Maki 100%s this too… And the dark side isn’t quite as “AWESOME” as it was in FU1.)

Second Half! (53:09)

  • Tony Hawk Ride (Yup, it is as broken as we feared.)
  • Burnout Paradise Big Surf Island (More Burnout is NEVER a bad thing)
  • Crackdown 2 Deluge & Toybox DLC (Rocket boots and an arcade mode? Maki is in!)
  • Railworks 2 (BJ loves him some train simulator. And Scurves.)
  • Limbo (Pretentious indie game hype? Harlo might think so.)
  • Trials HD (Fun game! Until it sucks. Sad face. Again.)
  • Maki’s New Year’s Resolution (2 old games beat for every new 1 bought!)
  • Dead Space 2 Demo (Harlo wasn’t impressed… Cause for concern?)
  • Half-Life (BJ gets a Half-Life! Yes, THAT Half-Life.)
  • NBA Jam (We can all see the code in this game, Neo-style. Also, Harlo beat Remix mode, which is kind of amazing.)
  • Dance Central (New Year’s Dance Party Excitement Freestyle Stupidity Fun!)
  • Kinectimals (BJ joins in the annoyance of the flying fairy ferret badger thing)
  • Stuntman Ignition (Trial and error?  OCD? We’re in.)
  • Gamestop (Seriously, where are the manuals and cases?)
  • Kinect Sports (Opinions to come!)
  • SSX Deadly Descents (It may be good, but it’s not what Maki wants)
  • Bulletstorm (Marketing is bullshit. Seriously.)

Value Picks! (2:03:55)

  • Just Cause 2 (Harlo wants you to explore an entire continent worth of content! A contentnent?)
  • Soul Calibur 4 (Maki likes him some weapons-based fighting. BY NAMCO.)
  • AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! – A Reckless Disregard for Gravity (BJ likes this time-wasting bas jumping… thing)
