NQcast61 – Lay Us On Them

Black-businesswoman-layin-007

This month we bask in the glow of games. Games like Goat Simulator 2014, Dark Souls, Threes, Titanfall, DOTA 2, Spelunky and Hearthstone. Hardware like the NVIDIA Shield and phones you can see from the International Space Station are discussed. Also, Maki gets an Xbox One with all the games and is mostly indifferent? GOOD TIMES! Stay tuned until the very end for something frighteningly awesome.

NQcast57 – You’re Off the Forza

Time to welcome Generation Eight of video gaming!

NQcast56 – 7th Generation Heaven

7thgeneration

Perhaps once or twice over the next couple of weeks you’ll find yourself standing in line for a new video game console. Allow us to entertain you while you wait with our Games of the Generation Spectacular 2013!

The first half of this epic podcast includes talk about Beyond: Two Souls, Batman: Arkham Origins, Pokemon Y (Y? Because we like Pokemon!), Bioshock: Infinite and lots more. Then the second half arrives and we turn on the hyperbole machine to close out the Xbox 360/Playstation 3 era of video gaming. I don’t want to spoil any of our picks, but I will say this… if you’re not digging out your Rock Band instruments by the end of this episode then YOU HAVE NO SOUL.

Enjoy!

 

NQcast55 – Ludonarrative Diss

GTA kid

 

This episode of No Quarters we focus on one game only and that game is GTA V. It’s the most expensive game ever made so we figured it was worth an entire episode of us rambling on. We remain mostly spoiler free but based on sales, you’ve probably played this anyway.

NQcast54 – Pin A Rose On Your Nose

Between some sweet, sweet bookended Saints Row IV talk (spoiler free first, then spoilers abound in the segment after the outro music!), we find some time to discuss Divekick, Skullgirls, Gone Home, Plants vs Zombies 2, Ingress, Vita TV and tangents galore. It’s the best episode we’ve ever done in the month of September in the year 2013, so check it out!

NQcast53 – Captain Laptop’s Teabagged Maps

Step one: Cut a hole in the map...

The Steam Summer Sale has concluded and we talk about our booty, yarr, including Torchlight 2, Shadowrun Returns, Organ Trail, Surgeon Simulator 2013, Prison Architect, Antichamber and others. Chuck attempts to find some fun with Grand Theft Auto 4 (spoiler: he doesn’t) and Maki gives both that and Saints Row the Third a whirl. And everyone’s favorite BJ returns to deliver some Tales From Ingress, which is a mobile game for a few relevant mobile devices.

NQcast52 – Steamed

It’s hot outside, and of course we’re in the middle of the Steam Summer Sale. So naturally everyone is staying in to play all the latest video games! After some console chat involving The Last of Us, Bioshock Infinite, Ride to Hell: Retribution and The Walking Dead: 400 Days, there’s all kinds of PC gaming talk including FTL (which BJ literally plays during the podcast), Endless Space, Max Payne 3 and lots more. Plus, Gamewarp is rapidly approaching and we pay our respects to Giantbomb’s Ryan Davis who sadly passed away last week.

NQcast51 – 2 Last (Of Us) 2 Furious

ku-xlarge

The saddest episode of No Quarters features tears over The Last of Us and The Walking Dead, anger sets in with Fast & Furious: Showdown, and confusion reigns when Dragon Age II and State of Decay are played. Thankfully, joy arrives as Chuck rediscovers Animal Crossing on his shiny new Nintendo 3DS. Also, stay away from kids.

Neptune

Our last game of Neptune’s Pride 2: Triton was so popular that we decided discussion of our second game should be its very own episode! And so here it is! Come listen to the post-mortem breakdown of how to be an anonymous space-dick.
