So Much for my Save File!: Recent Episodes
ChozoSanctuary.com & DestinedHero.com
Each week Blackskullgreymon and guests will entertain you with their "colorful" video game discussion in this unique podcast produced by ChozoSanctuary.com & DestinedHero.com.
Conker, G-tech, and Morgil try and discuss important video game subjects, but end up talking about Pokemon and Leave it to Beaver instead.
Go ahead and take a listen to our first episode. It's a bit of a trial run, feeling out the territory and exploring what works and what doesn't. The topic is Video Game Peripherals. We talk about what's come and gone, and what's still to come. We also christen this maiden voyage by sharing our own Save File Stories™ and having some technical problems as always.
We talked about all the big games and announcements at Tokyo Game Show 2008 and Nintendo's press conference, the latest polls, and more. Oh, and I unleashed my inner rock star too.
My first time hosting the podcast and it's... something. In this episode, we talk about everything from yoai to slapping $#!+. Oh, and we talk about gamers too.
We look at the strengths and weaknesses of the Big 3 at this year's E3. We also touch a little bit on EPIC PHAIL and afterwards we just went to www.engrish.com.
What games can you expect to see news from at E3? Listen to our panel of experts and find out! Then go to IGN and read what we are reading on the air! Also, once again the end of the show has been lost due to tech issues.
We all feel good when we finish a game: but why?
I don't know. And after listening to this show, you still won't know yourself.
However, I missed out on one little story I wanted to add because I wasn't organized last night: One instance in which I feel rewarded is when you beat someone. A human opponent. Very frequently, Plant and I duke it out, and I tend to win only by lag in my favor. However, he sets the bar somewhere high enough that it is a challenge, but somewhere I feel like I can reach. For being my Brawl Buddy, I award him a My Big Golden Cup.
Is cheating wrong? Yes! But wait, what's cheating? Is using a GameShark unfair, even though it only messes up your own game? Is snaking really a strange technique? And does picking Mewtwo count as cheating, or can we all agree no legends? Listen in and find out!
Ah, a returning favorite! We did another music special. Last time, we looked at story elements and some really "cool" songs. This time, we went with a lot of fun songs and recurring tunes. The evolution of themes through remixing and the use of background music that many take for granted.
We also had an unreal turnout. Record-setting, really. I think this was a sign that we got something good here! The best part: A lot of the members chatting weren't even from CS. We had folks from the Spinning Stream and Myth-Weavers come by, so there was a mix we aren't all familiar with. Fantastic!
Week 11 featured a lively discussion on the evolution of games as series and how the market affects them. However, technical difficulties prevented me from recording all of it, so the second half of the show dies. Nova won the My Big Gold Cup and the Question of the Week we never got to. We did, however, fit a couple awkward silences here and there...
Week 10 featured all kinds of interesting points that ultimately broke no new ground. Or did it? We discussed RPGs, what makes an RPG an actual RPG, and what makes them good games.
Week 9's discussion was one of what will hopefully become an ongoing series of "Music Discussion". We played some tunes, sang some songs, and slit some throats. Fun was had by all and we announced a couple important updates as well. The biggest update? Every week I give out an award to someone who hath done good. This week's winner of the "My Big Gold Cup" is announced in the podcast. You gotta listen to find out!
Week 8 was a very intriguing delve into the world of art and video games. Really, you just gotta listen to how deep we got, before falling back on old jokes and distractions. Ah, yeah.
This week we are joined by G-Tech, Dark Paladin, and Qantravon. We discussed non-gamers, games in the media, and Dungeons and Dragons.
The question of the week was: "What is the extent of your non-game collection?" Answers varied not only by what we had, but what our definition of a "non-game" is.
Blackskullgreymon and The Windmill Hut's Nova team up and host a Brawl themed 'cast. Also, the producer "speaks"! Truly EPIC! This Super Smash Brothers Brawl special show was so huge, it needed a dual-layer technology that completely obliterates most Wiis! This special is actually 3 times as long as any of the previous version! We never hit a dry spot! I never even had to edit!
This was a fun week because we had the highest turnout for live listeners, yet! Count 'em, 12! While we wasted a lot of time on the whole sound-effects/brainstorming for next week/dead silence, the first five minutes are stellar, and just imagine what would have happened if we had more than just BSGM and G-Tech talking! Come on by, friends, and send in your ideas for topics.
And BSGM and G-Tech pwn you.
The topic was "The Best of 2007", and how disappointing 2008 will be unless aliens invade and bring their new games with them.
The topic was "Multiplayer Games", and it didn't work out. I cut out about 30 minutes static, pure silence, and discussion of pictures that you can't see since you are listeners. What do we have left? Something par!
Hopefully next week we will have substance! Yay!
