NQcast37 – The Bitchers 4: Assassins of Pinballs (Enhanced Edition)

In this episode of No Quarters, Maki comes to realize that life’s too short for learning all the minutia in games like Trials: Evolution or getting all achievements in puzzlers like Fez. He then tells us about learning all the minutia of Trials: Evolution and getting all achievements in Fez. Also, Harlo and Chuck soundly debate the merits of The Witcher 2, BJ does three laps through X-Men Arcade, and everyone loves pinball. All this and more, tonight, on No Quarters!

 

NQcast37 – The Bitchers 4: Assassins of Pinballs (Enhanced Edition) Show Notes

First half!

  • The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings: Enhanced Edition (Chuck and Harlo play it, and have completely opposite opinions! Fight, Dandelion!)
  • Trials Evolution (BJ & Maki love Trials! BJ & Maki hate Trials! “It’s the Dark Souls of XBLA!”)
  • Fez (Maki did everything! Thanks amateur cryptographers of the internet!)
  • Journey (Maki loves this PS3 downloadable! He’s pretentious, though, so your mileage may vary! Chirp!)
  • The Walking Dead: Episode 1 (Chuck & Maki enjoy the hell out of this Telltale adventure game! Even if your guy starts off as the clumsiest protagonist ever!)

Second Half! (1:09:03)

  • PINBALL! (We adventure around our “Closed On Sunday” city looking for pinball tables! We find one that we promptly break!)
  • Xbox 360 Dashboard (We freak out about how much Metro sucks! Too much advertising and actual content hides from you! Windows 8 will be more of the same! DAMMIT!)
  • Pinball Arcade (We all play the hell out of it! And love most of it! Now fix the main menu! Also, SUPER JAAAAAAAACCCCCKKKKKPPPPOOOOOTTTTTTTTTT!)
  • Playstation Vita (Holy crap, Harlo got one! To play Pinball Arcade on the go, of course!)
  • 3D Television (Holy crap, Harlo bought a 3D TV! What? Predictably, some games look better than others… And not the ones you’d think!)
  • Gears of War 3 (Maki defeats wave 50 of Horde mode! It only takes 5 hours! Easy, right?!)
  • Saints Row The Third (BJ gets the final achievement with a little help from his Urchin friend!)
  • Mass Effect 3 (Chuck, Maki and Harlo kill lots of dudes in multiplayer! And they also check out packages!)
  • The Force Unleashed (Chuck hates The Force Unleashed! All positivity this cast!)
  • FEAR Files (chuck enjoys the hell out of these FEAR expansion packs! Negativity vanquished!)
  • X-Men Arcade (BJ returns to the battle! As Wolverine! A bunch of times!)
  • Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack (Maki beat it! Touching the screen and moving at the same time is garbage!)
  • SSX (Maki got all 1000 points in it! Tricky!)
  • Assassin’s Creed: Revelations: The Lost Archive DLC (Maki beat it and hates this! There’s a storyline retcon that makes him hate it even more!)
  • Jetpack Joyride (Harlo and Maki love the update! Retina support! New gadgets! Good times!)
  • Midway Arcade (Chuck really likes the added iCade support!)
  • Draw Something (Harlo is the only one still playing! Too many games, too many repeats chased the rest of us off!)
