Join the Millennium Falcon of podcast this week as we look forward to the holidays, laugh at Borderlands 2, cry at Bioshock Infinitie, embrace the calamity of Just Cause 2, bring back the League of Legends hour, and try to figure out what went wrong with Youtube! Plus you are all now honorary members of the Penrod family. One of us! One of us!
Join the gang this week as we air out our dirty laundry and discuss the games we don’t want others to know we play! It’s wood cutting, children’s TV shows, dancing, dude-bros, and much more on this week’s edition of The Backwards Compatible Podcast you filthy casuals!
Join the gang this week as we discuss what we picked up for the Steam Autumn Sale and introduce our new rating system. Penrod goes from happy to rage in record time in Gotham City Imposters. David puts his sleuthing skills to test in L.A. Noire. Kyle justifies his purchase of Gone Home. Aaron finally plays Skyrim and breaks the fourth wall with The Stanley Parable. Plus everyone can’t stop raving about Far Cry 3 and we can’t help but discuss the train-wreck that was the VGX awards.
Kyle & Kyle journey through THE DARK SECTOR in which RALEIGH is PURSUED by the VIGILANT SPANISH BORDER GUARD and the AWFUL TRUTH stands REVEALED. In reality they get shot at a lot and curse loudly at the bullet hell shooter Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony.
Jamestown: Legend Of The Lost Colony is a neo-classical top-down shooter for up to 4 players, set on 17th-century British Colonial Mars. It features all the intensity, depth, and lovingly handcrafted pixels of a classic arcade shooter, with a modern twist: deeply-integrated cooperative gameplay.
Join the gang this week as we bid a fond farewell to the 7th Generation of gaming. We discuss our favorite games of the generation and the worst, plus look at trends that became popular and how they shaped gaming as a whole. And Kyle P. looks on disapprovingly with nothing to say because he’s a PC elitist. All this and more on this week’s edition!
Kyle & David take a look at what will probably be the sleeper hit of 2013, Rayman Legends. Watch as we smack each other around in Fiesta de los Muertos, jam out on Castle Rock, and shoot giant birds in Hi-Ho Moskito!
Michel Ancel, the celebrated creator of Rayman®, Beyond Good & Evil®, and the Raving Rabbids®, returns to unleash his innovative creativity on this new entry into the Rayman® franchise. When Rayman, Globox, and the Teensies discover a mysterious tent filled with captivating paintings, they are suddenly transported to a series of mythical new worlds! Join them as they run, jump, and slap their way through each world to get home, save the day, and discover the secrets of the legendary paintings!
Join the Gang this week as we discuss what we’ve been playing. Kyle forces David to buy Fallout 3 (at gunpoint), we continue the Dark Souls/Demon’s Souls talk (INVISIBLE WALKWAYS!), keep erections at bay for Trackmania 2 (Hot Wheels for adults!), pronounce Volgarr the Viking (Biking), narrate The Stanley Parable (Blue Grass!), laugh at Crysis 2’s A.I. again (Cloak Engaged!), and discuss strategies in Call of Juarez Gunslinger (Shoot ’em in the face!). Plus we determine if the Next-Gen Resolutiongate pandemic is just hyperbole and reminisce on Blockbuster’s heyday.
Join Kyle & David as they raise hell in the Darkroot Gardens, traverse the depths in the Tomb of the Giants, get into some PvP action, defeat the Gravelord Nito and of course, DIE!
Live through a million deaths and earn your legacy. Enter a dark world filled with despair and threaded by hope where your ability to creatively strategize, learn and overcome unpredictable and unique challenges determines your fate. Dark Souls will demand your absolute concentration, unflinchingly punish your mistakes, but reward your ability to learn from death. Each challenge is a mind game met with endless combinations to conquer unimaginable monsters and progress deeper into this bleak and forbidding environment filled with the un-dead.
The boys are back in town and the clown show is off hiatus as the gang regroups after a month long silence. Fear not! We kick things back into gear with another League of Legends hour including talk on new character, Jinx, and test Penrod on his knowledge of the lore of LOL. We also try to make sense of the convoluted Devil May Cry timeline, discuss the hyper-realistic horse controls in Shadows of the Colossus, and aggravating PvP matches in Demon’s Souls. And finally we spend the last half of the podcast gushing over 2011’s game of the year, Dark Souls. PREPARE TO DIE!
