NQcast30 – A Skyrim Job Is My Duty

• Modern Warfare 3 (It’s Call of Duty 8! It’s got crazy packaging! It’s got a super-crazy story! You know all this already because you’ve already bought it!)
• Battlefield 3 (Chuck & Maki get angry about this glitchy, poorly optimized mess of a CoD clone. The should have finished it before releasing it. Also, they should have wiped the lens first!)
• Star Wars: The Old Republic BETA (NDAs mean Harlo only says how much he loves the cutscenes. And yeah, it’s a WOW clone. Duh.)

• Skyrim (Harlo’s Box Quote: “Killing fucking dragons is awesome!”)
• Batman Arkham City & Asylum (Challenge rooms! The bane (hah, get it!?) of Maki’s existence!)
• Shift 2 Unleashed (Chuck thinks this sim racing game is nothing special except for its amazing soundtrack!)
• Forza 4 (Speaking of soundtracks, this one dubsteps BJ to death (it’s not really dubstep, but don’t tell him that!))
• Uncharted 3 (Harlo thinks it’s not quite Uncharted 2, but really, that’s a pretty high bar to set.)
• Deus Ex: Human Revolution (Chuck thinks the boss battles are garbage, but the rest isn’t bad if you don’t mind not killing dudes.)
• Game Dev Story (Maki getting an iPhone leads to lots and lots of inappropriate 14-character video game names.)

• InstaTrent asks “Nintendo releasing the ‘Circle Pad Pro’ for the 3DS: Doesn’t it just scream ‘Design oversight’?”(Yes. This leads to talk of handhelds, mobile gaming and the inadequacy of the Wii. Yup, long answer to a short question. Again.)
• Moonpir asks for the Left 4 Dead Expert story (Maki obliges.)
• Moonpir also asks: “What other media would you like to see adapted into video game form?”  (We make terrible suggestions.)
