New Podcast: Episode 15 - 3.5 Billion Years
Friday, August 6, 2010 at 5:17PM Question: How many Japanese produced games are you super-excited about being released this year?
Wow. That's way more than us.
So what the hell happened? How and when did we go from Japan absolutely dominating the worldwide videogames market to where we are today? The man with the PhD and his sidekick discuss East VS West in all things videogames -- where it's been, where it is, and where it's going. If turning 30 sounds like something that'll never happen to you, then you'll learn a lot about the tragedy of how Japanese games used to be the ultimate in awesome.
In Tales of The Personal, DocBrown takes us deeper into the rabbit hole with another classic tale of a man known only as a Geoff with 'J', while WillyBeans brings hard science to the show to break down the top 5 things brought to us by evolution.
An off-hand comment from Joystiq's Justin McElroy provides us with an epic discussion on whether or not it makes sense to publically critique free game sites, and we wrap it all up with final thoughts on Mass Effect 2, Dragon Quest V, and Tom Bissell's book 'Extra Lives'.
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.
Domo.
