Episode 19 - Airus Salmon
Wednesday, November 10, 2010 at 9:59PM There are five things in this world that we at the Gaming The Media love to podcast about. Four of those things are Metorid, the fifth: Gamecritics.com's Brad Gallaway.
This week the man with the PhD and his sidekick talk about one of the finest game series to ever grace our consoles (uh...Metroid, not Brad Gallaway -- though that would be a sweet, sweet console game). With little time for Tales of the Personal this week, the duo kick-off the episode with the gaming media's growing obsession with all things iPhone/iPod/iPad related. Are these devices REALLY worthy of all the attention that they're getting from the games media?
Then, for our main event, we talk Metroid. From its humble beginnings as a quirky NES game, through the unbelievable innovation of the Prime series, to the questionable (at best) latest entries. Be warned that we are full spoilers on for this one, folks! Well...not for Other M -- WillyBeans quit an hour in and DocBrown has yet to try it. But that just means we get to focus on the love!
In Play as You Go, WillyBeans talks about going back to play Super Metroid again for the first time in 13 years and DocBrown still tries to convince all of us that PCs can actually run games with his discussion of Mass Effect 2 and its DLC, and The Witcher.
