yeah, I tune out whenever any podcast talks about em these days. So tired...so so tired of hearing about it, regardless of the material.
Some older stuff that I had never tried, like A.R.E.S. The Witcher 2 patch. Nothing major. We skipped some iOS stuff, too (so you should rejoice!): Crow, Galaxy on Fire 2, some others.
i enjoy all their games and their pandering cuz that's what they've been doing for years. but when they do a 180 about the ending, that's just annoying.
don't skip stuff!

Yes, don't skip stuff. Anything interesting is worth talking about!

So I ran your questions by Dana.
She tells me that she heard that she knew that they were destroyed in the other two endings. So either you misunderstood or she misspoke. She can't remember exactly what she said.
She hasn't yet, but probably will on her next playthrough.
No, Kaidan did it.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
No, Miranda did it.
No. She talked Samara out of killing herself.
No.
Unlike me, Dana loves spoilers, and will actively track them down (through FAQs, fan sites, and YouTube videos) in order to get the best ending in a game. Personally, I don't get it, but I can't helps but love her.

Its too bad mik didn't pay above the average for the Humble Indie Bundle because I would be curious about what he thought about Kooky (the movie that came with the bundle). I personally thought it wasn't great, but the way the puppets looked/moved and how they integrated real animals in the movie was fantastic.
I also got to agree not to skip stuff. Hell, if I find CJ's trip debacle interesting, then I am sure as hell going to find the game discussion interesting.

I could have gone for some A.R.E.S. talk. Its one of those games that looks interesting but I never got around to trying the demo

That, my friend, is from the game Vib-Ribbon. Which is an awesome Japan-only PS1 music platformer from the creator of PaRappa the Rapper(tm).
Of course Japan would have torture porn "music" in their games. Probably a witch touching simulator.
man, I want that game. Looks so cool.

Pretty sure it came out in Europe too.

It did. It is an amazingly fun game.

Crap, and I knew that too. Why did I write Japan-only? Brain fart! But yes, awesome game - never would have sold anything in the U.S. but I loved it to pieces.

Back when we both worked at Ziff Davis, I presented Shane Bettenhausen with the cover artwork of Mastiff's then-unreleased PS1 classic, Easter Bunny's Big Day. For a day, I had him convinced that it was a butchered localized port of Vib Ribbon.
I can only speak for myself, but myself says "yes."

The only use I have for 3DS folders is to go buy a physical folder to shove my 3DS into and hide it
I'm really platform agnostic

Yeah, I try and participate in all of them. It's a blast. I was hoping you all hadn't given up because the P1P Host Teams seemed like a pretty rad idea.
Hey, I bought it the day it came out and can't wait until there's another game I can play on it. It's just been seemingly ages since that's happened. (and I don't think I said "hide it")

I want to get back into it. I really couldn't play while I was out of the country because there were days when I had no internet to connect to. Now that I'm back my excuse is laziness.
All of this talk about Zelda is making me want to play it. It's been sitting in the shrink wrap since Christmas. Sounds like it's pretty great if you give it the time. Also enjoyed Mik's subtle joke about
'whispered about for three years now'. Or at least that's what I thought it was about.
Klepek and Fez
Honestly, I didn't realize there was more. I quit playing the tournaments because I was sick of seeing the same courses, so I assumed that's what was there.
How about this--I'd pay them five bucks to just unlock everything for me. I hate having to unlock new courses in a golf game. I want the variety on offer from the moment I give them my money.

I totally agree with that. Especially with a golf game. There are an infinite number of way to make courses more difficult/easier so there is no reason to lock them away behind progress gates. I like having characters as unlocks though, gives me something to keep playing the challenges for.

I haven't gotten around to the demo from what I've read I get the opposite impression of Dragon's Dogma from Mike. It doesn't seem like a game you'll be able to just run around in. Seems like Dark Souls lite with some open world rpg quests throw in.
Either way I'm pretending the game is Breath of Fire VI: Dragon's Dogma. I'm naming my guy Ryu and my pawn Nia!

I too do not understand the adulation from game scribblers for Sessler leaving his job. For one I thought G4 no longer existed (as a directv subscriber, it basically doesn't) and second...so what? He seemed like the most generic guy in the world. Are we going to have similar candle light vigils when the spike TV finds a new job as well?

I would do terrible terrible things to get upgraded versions of Solomon's Keep and Solomon's Boneyard on my vita. Two of my favorite games on iOS but both are dual joystick games :/
The one that occurred to me was Bike Baron--as I was playing Trials Evolution. Obviously, it isn't a fraction of the game that Trials is, but it's damn good, loaded with content, and would be more fun using traditional controls. If they could somehow announce that for the Vita a week or two after Trials hits XBLA, I feel like that could be a huge win.
But there are scores of iOS games (like Solomon's Keep and Solomon's Boneyard) that would be perfect for the Vita. There are plenty that I would gladly repurchase--even at ten bucks--just to play with sticks and buttons.

Dark Souls Lite would be fine w/me too; I never bothered to play that game because of all the talk of its insane difficulty. I have no interest in playing a game where that's a selling point. That said I don't know that I have time for a huge RPG; I'll have to see what the reviews peg the completion time at.
Re: Sessler - I don't really have any reaction. The guy parted ways with his employer - I didn't get the impression he was fired. That kind of thing happens. It's only something to get upset about when a buncha folks get laid off, etc.
iOS games on Vita - Bike Baron! YES! I guess my opinion of that type of thing might be somewhat skewed because the games I like on iOS are very quick-hit and use the touchscreen without a virtual D-pad. So there really aren't many games I can think of where I'm pining for sticks and buttons. The games I've been playing recently are more or less all that way.
Someone mentioned PlayStation Suite as a way for more devs to get in on Vita on the ground floor. But isn't that like saying developing for Dreamcast is as easy as making a Windows CE app? PlayStation Suite, to me, doesn't seem like it takes direct advantage of the Vita hardware since it's so cross-platform focused. IMO, the best games are almost always natively designed or developed for the platform they're on - be it iOS, Android or whatevs.

Well Disgaea just came out (which I picked up) but probably not what you meant
Either way you are 100% right. Sure the vita has a backlog of great PSP RPGs but I want something Vita specific, and I'll go ahead and say it, trophies! Stupid Vita trophies app is so much better than the PS3 one that I'm slowly starting to care about them.
I wish Tales of Innocence R came over. Anyway at least Resistance and Gravity Rush are coming, nothing much after that though
Curious to see what comes out of E3. Probably more vaporware that will never come out (Bioshock) but who knows. I hope Soul Sacrifice is there, interested to see what that one is all about
I love Disgaea, but they are just remaking the same game. It's the SRPG version of Dynasty Warriors.
As to the PSP games, I played the ones I wanted when they came out. It's a goofy argument, as though the assumption is that no one on the planet owned a PSP.
If this E3 has nothing for the Vita I'll probably give up on the system for now. Although, if they have nothing for the Vita why would Sony even show up?

I expect them to lean heavily on new portable entries of console franchises, which happened to the PSP to some extent. Madden, Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, blah blah blah. Transfarring. Maybe a Ratchet-something. Safe bets. And honestly that's not at all what they need to do. They need a Pokémon-caliber portable exclusive that is something wholly unique they can say 'can only be done on Vita.'
But...who knows if they have that.
With our luck they will proudly announce PlayStation Home for Vita and the world will collapse in on itself.
That would be a miserable failure.
Not sure why. My favorite games on the PSP and DS are entries from "console franchises".
