| 0:00.0 | And welcome back to the show. Last week, of course, we covered the first part of our why we feel that we should be sat here talking to you because of our history of gaming is quite interesting. |
| 0:09.0 | That's a big title. It's a big title, man. |
| 0:13.8 | Part two of our section, this is why we're sat here talking to you through our headphones and speakers because we'd like to. |
| 0:21.7 | Okay, History of Gaming Part 2, |
| 0:24.4 | Matthew Moore and Darren Bullock speak. |
| 0:26.4 | That's a lot more snappy. |
| 0:27.8 | Music Okay, welcome to episode six of Minlakeamer podcast. We're here as usual. I am Matthew Moore. |
| 0:53.5 | And I'm Darren Baldock. Indeed you are. This week we are coming to you. It's quite late, isn't it? Yeah. We've got some coffee and we've got some beers, and I think it's going to be a nice show. Okay. I'm looking forward to it. Okay. Have you been playing anything this week? Because I've been playing pretty much one game. So if you go on first, then I can spare about my game. |
| 0:55.3 | Okay. |
| 0:55.8 | In the tradition of a midlife gamer, I've had not much chance to play anything this week, but I guess the time that I have spent, I've been playing a little bit of rock band, catching up on some more Barnett Commando rearmed. I really am getting into that game a lot. It's sort of like, I like the way it punishes you. I'm like a battered husband when it comes to that game because there's so much I can take in one night and that game just, just finds my weak spot. No, I mean, I don't know, I don't know about you, but you, you get, you have moods and you have sort of yearnings for certain |
| 1:45.3 | types of games sometimes i'll play geometry wars sometimes i'll even play uno yeah yeah but the sort |
| 1:51.4 | of mood i've been in this week bit of rock band bit of barnet commando rearmed and also played |
| 1:57.3 | castle crashes the uh the demo i've not bought it yet. I like it. It's nice. It reminds me a lot of, it's just like a souped-up sexy version of Golden Axe. Yeah, yeah. I was thinking maybe Gawlin, but Gawlin didn't really have that much to it either, but this seems as a lot too, although it's still like a four player side scrolling very simply looking quite |
| 2:18.3 | cute looking beat-up it looks like but isn't it quite a deep as far as the RPG goes as well |
| 2:24.3 | I believe it is from what I've seen of the demo I mean first of lot the graphical style is really good |
| 2:28.7 | it's made by the same guys that did Alien Hominate they did I I played that one but that was just |
| 2:33.8 | stupidly hard and that sort of turned me off. |
| 2:35.9 | This is a lot more forgiving. It's a lot more fun. And even with the demo, the demo is really good because you get to the final boss and it sort of pulls you out in the game and says, do you want to beat him? You've got to unlock the game, which is really clever. That's quite nice because usually they say, |
| 2:31.7 | oh, if you'd bought the game, |
| 2:32.7 | you would have got an achievement for that. |
| 2:34.1 | I like that. |
| 2:34.7 | I like that. |
