It’s another very special episode of No Quarters this month, but this time we really mean it! After a first half talking about Diablo III, Minecraft for Xbox 360, Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock, The Witcher 2 and other notables, we interview Jack Laughlin about Game Warp II, a classic gaming and pinball convention in Orlando, FL coming up July 27-29, 2012. Then in the bonus third half we just get punchy. I mean, we talk about Game Room for pete’s sake. GAME ROOM!
NQcast38 – 8 Bits For The Troops Show Notes
First half!
- Cards Against Humanity (We love us some degenerate Apples To Apples!)
- Diablo 3 (Harlo & Maki make the journey back to Tristram… Until their connection drops. Eventually the game gets compared to a hot girlfriend. You kinda had to be there.)
- Torchlight 2 Beta (BJ betas out the other Diablo-type game and enters gamer mecca. Kinda. Except with ferrets. You had to be there!)
- Minecraft on Xbox 360 (Maki relays stories of Legos and murder and digging and house floods and other assorted insanity. You kinda had to be th… Never mind.)
- Witcher 2 (Chuck is almost done with it! It’s lost a lot of steam as it goes, sadly. Now it’s all about the Whore Tents.)
- Batman Arkham City: Harley Quinn’s Revenge DLC (Remember Batman? It’s more of it! In basically the same areas. The short version? DON’T BUY THIS.)
- Dr. Who: The Eternity Clock (Chuck makes the trip to the PS3 for a side-scrolling platformer without combat or checkpoints. Wait, what!?)
- Pinball Tables! (Harlo visits Pinball Mecca in Las Vegas! Chuck plays AC/DC! BJ plays Playboy and Simpsons at a lesbian bar? Okay! They all play lots and lots of pinball!)

Third Half! (1:58:46)
- Pinball Arcade (Theatre of Magic, Cirqus Voltaire, Twilight Zone Kickstarter and many more pinball things are discussed! We might even bring up that evil table known as Black Hole!)
- Nexuiz (Chuck plays this multiplayer-only shooter that has nobody playing!)
- Blood Drive (Chuck plays this blood-related value game that some people have compared to Carmageddon!)
- Anomaly Warzone Earth (We debate whether this $4 XBLA game is a DOTA or RTS or tower defense or what the hell it is.)
- Game Room (Maki and Chuck go achievement hunting in this defunct classic game simulator. There’s a reason it’s defunct.)
- EA Sports MMA (Chuck hates this “dudes laying on each other” simulator!)
- Price Is Right Decades (Support Our Troops with this not very good iPad game!)
- GTA3 iPad (Yup, on-screen buttons. It controls as bad as you think!)
- Left 4 Dead 2 (BJ still sucks at this game! Thanks to listener Moe for giving him a copy, though!)
- Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery (Now you can get your friends to SwUnfollow you!)
- Amnesia (BJ learns what being in a horror movie is like. Kind of. He’s back in the light recharging his sanity!)
