Episode 12 - A Rainbow in the Dark
Thursday, May 27, 2010 at 12:07PM Google 'Dio', it'll all make sense.
Then (and only then) come back and listen to WillyBeans' Tale of the Personal in which he relates what it was like to be a gay man. Truly, this will be a changing day in your life.
For our main topic, starting with 'The Uninvited' for the NES and taking it all the way to 'Dead Space' on the current-gen consoles, the man with the PhD and his sidekick discuss the horror genre -- what's good, what's bad, and why it may never be as great as it once could have been. WillyBeans, in particular, takes the discussion to some rather dark places in conjuring up his dream horror game, so be sure and brace yourselves for some truly horrific, and uncomfortable videogame ideas.
The discussion then takes us into the realm of Kotaku Talk Radio and fan interaction with the greatest of game designers, and in Mortal Emails we discuss those times when we've been burnt out on the gaming media, and Australia's ratings system.
Finally, we wrap it up with more thoughts on Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection.
Moment of silence for Dio....
