Rob was fortunate enough to receive his XBOX on time as others around him struggled. So naturally he decided to rub everyone’s face in it by streaming his box opening prowess.
With the PS4 out in America and the XBOX One release looming there’s a bit of an expectation to talk about them just a little. Not being the types to disappoint, there’s a lot of discussion related to the new black distraction oblongs.
We are also joined by DJKippling off of twitch and being Rob’s brother.
This episode we talk about PS4, XBone, Knack, Killzone: Shadowfall, Resogun, Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider, Battlefield, CoDBlOps II, The Swapper, MtGDotP 2013, Civ 5, GTA V, Pokémon XY and probably some other stuff.
Zac and Rob go back and relive the ups and downs of minigames laced with plenty of random. There ain’t no party like a Mario Party party!
By the way, Mario Party 2 is the best of the series. Just saying.
Zac and Rob get schooled on the makeup of the planet and Red’s backstory is revealed. Maybe we’ll understand just what is going on a little better. Maybe.
Nope, I’m not going to say anything clever this time… What do you mean I never say anything clever? That’s just rude.
This week we talk about the last of The Last of Us, Pokémon Y, Grand Theft Auto V, Sim City (again?), Guild Wars 2, Assassin’s Creed IV, MtG:DotP 2013, Command & Conquer, Civ V, and next-gen rumblings! If you’re lucky, some of the news may even be factually correct!
At this point, it must be people like Zac that keep EA and Maxis hopeful that SimCity isn’t all that bad. Except that every time he plays, it all seems that bad. He’s some kind of mayoral masochist. Perhaps we need some kind of intervention.
This week we talk about launch game delays, The Last of Us, Sonic: The Lost World, Grand Theft Auto V, SimCity, Guild Wars 2, Awesomenauts, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door and some news (kinda).
We’re just going to come out and say it. This game was alright. Sure it hasn’t aged that well but it is unique and has some of that SEGA arcade charm. Zac and Rob attempt to win a World Tour in Sonic Riders for the PC.
Dan is about to be really inconvenient and move to London so for his last week in East Anglia we force him to do another cast. This “week-early” special comes with real news and impressions courtesy of EuroGamer Expo and Valve!
Coverage in this special episode includes PES 2014, Need For Speed Rivals, Beyond: Two Souls, Forza 5, Sonic: The Lost World, Killer Instinct, Watchdogs, Lightning Returns, Montague’s Mount, Driveclub, Oculus Rift, SteamOS, Steam Machines and a really weird controller! There’s other stuff too!
Thank us later, or now. Now is good.
So now we get the real game of FF7: The grind. Not to put you off watching this but in order to succeed in this game you occasionally need to level up. So in the spirit of keeping this series an accurate representation of a playthough here’s some grind. Plus there’s some Yuffie and Turk action.
Introducing an exciting new brand of consumer products from the minds at happysalad and The SaladCast. RobCo announces a number of amazing products that will steal your mind and blow your heart. Listen to this episode for all the life changing revelations.
Also this week we talk about GTA V, Awesomenauts, Valve stuff, iOS7, the District line, Awesomenauts, Civilization V, Hotline Miami, Vita TV and more.
Have you ever looked to the stars and wondered how things like “The Moon” got their names? Do you then think about all the things that might have been named after them in turn? We do, and we feel it was time to share our musings and discuss the revelations we find in a totally factually correct manner.
The week we also talk about more XBOX One news, Awesomenauts, Journey, Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed, Adobe, GTA V, Sonic Generations, Mario and Luigi: Dream Team Bros., Total War: Rome II and more!
There are times where the plot in FF7 makes very little sense. I know it’s important to fill out the character’s back story but the way they handle Barret’s is just a bit weird. Join Zac and Rob as they get out of Golden Saucer as fast as they can.
Compliments from your Mum always feel loaded. To that end, it’s probably a good thing that ours aren’t listeners of the SaladCast. They could make it weird.
This week there’s more XBOX One and PS4 news, SimCity patch news, XCOM: Enemy Within, Saints Row IV, The Bureau, Guild Wars 2, Gunpoint, Plants Vs Zombies 2, Bioshock Infinite and Awesomenauts.
So EA are the next big publisher to get involved with the charity helping mega sale organisation Humble Bundle. A humble bundle is always a good thing but this is especially unexpected given that EA has publicly snubbed the idea of having good sales on Origin and is not especially humble. What’s unsurprising is just how lacklustre EA’s line up can look. I’d say 3 of those games are good, 2 middling and the rest skippable. It seems Dead Space 3 did so much to ruin the Dead Space name that Dead Space 2 seems to have done a runner past the half-time reveal. But what else may appear? Would SimCity tempt you?
*laughs*
Still, it is a bargain and the website claims EA will not take any profit from this so go help some charities. Also check out the full YouTube advert thing after the break, it’s pretty good as always. Read the rest of this entry »
