I may of missed it, but the outrage towards CJ's unconditional love for nintendo should be dwarfed by the outrage of CJ's practice of microwaving pop-tarts.
Could be that most listeners are adults or young adults.

How about just going with pop tarts over toaster strudles?

There are two situations when it is acceptable to eat a pop-tart: 1. Some sort of disaster has occurred or 2. You are an obese child.

Wait, so pop tarts are for kids, but ranting about another person's opinions of a video game company is for adults?
That's rich ;p
For the record, I only eat oatmeal for breakfast.

God dammit.
Well at least I'll be ready for it. Looking forward to more talk about Banner Saga. And GT6 because good god, that's a fun-ass game.
Great episode this week, I was actually playing King of Fighters 96 while listening so was happy to hear Greg bring up the games in regard to the great Neo Geo games question. I agree with Greg on the detail in the backgrounds and always loved the transitional elements between rounds, whether it was just the changed lighting to represent the different time of day, or more elaborate scene changes between rounds like in Terry's stage from Mark of the wolves.
My 5 seconds of fame as "this one guy on NeoGAF" 
I hope CJ knows I still love him no matter how silly he is.
Also Mike, my buddy, I'm pretty sure part deux of Brokenage is included for the $25 you already paid. EDIT: Yes, it is. I checked.
I really need to start watching Greg's live streams more now that it's driving games again.
Also holy shit fuck Flappy Bird. Never should have tried it.

Super Baseball 2020 is great, but no love for Shock Troopers? Bust-a-Move? Neo Turf Masters? Garou: Mark of the Wolves? And on. So many games on there that are, "Classics" and hold up great.

Good episode so far. I think bandwidth caps are just...the fuckin worst. And I don't have one. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the show.
Blech, Bust-A-Move is a horrible, horrible puzzle series. Wish it didn't exist.

What would make you think that? To wish it didn't exist. A bit extreme? Even for Vince McMahon.

It's the worst! The breaking point was when I saw this, though:
That's when I knew God was dead.
Those are some good games (Bust a Move notwithstanding, because, yeah, that game series sucks), but I think we were trying to define a "classic" as one that would be remembered fondly by a broad swath of people. By that definition, I really feel like Metal Slug, Samurai Showdown, and King of Fighters might be the NEOGEO's only "classics."
Technically it's not a "bandwidth" cap, is it? Bandwidth refers to the download speed, doesn't it?
More like a total data cap.
Data caps are the norm here. I recently upgraded from 80 GB/ month to 150! I'm living in the future!
Also, you others seriously need to get into toki tori 2.
I'm making it my game of the year, and also a perfect game. The puzzles are just so satisfyingly clever, each set is unique, and they give you all the clues to solve them with very few leaps of faith required in the logic.
It may even make my top twenty if all time.

Mike, just wondering, how much time did you put into Monster Hunter? I really started to get into it once I killed maybe the first boss.
I can completely understand if you guys just can't even try to play these games. I went through Tri in between college semesters. I just bought MH3U for the 3DS, I'm not actually sure that I'll be able to get into it all that much with less free time now.
And you really do have to sink some time into the game before you get a hang of the controls etc., and online missions can sometimes last 40-50 minutes or so, not doable really if you've got kids to look after
(also Flappy Bird is great, got 13 on my first and last try
)
and on the topic of arcade sports games, baseball simulator 1000 rocks, I still play it with friends

When I heard about Toki Tori 2 I was immediately reminded of this incredible thread.

Has it actually been released yet?
Also is it pvp only or can you play against the AI?
Harlock

Is open beta now. But it like a finished game. The first couple games is against AI to learn (I dont remember now). But after that you play online.
Got new cards by level up classes or spending gold in the store. Gold you get by playing the game or buying with real money. You use gold to buy new cards ou go to arena, one multiplayer area where cost 150 gold to enter, you get out if lose 3 games, but get more rewards than playing normal multiplayer.
I never played card games before and i am is addict like hell now.

Not a fan of card games? It's actually quite fun even if you don't spend any money on it.

Yeah, Hearthstone is pretty wicked. I didn't expect to enjoy it. 2 matches of it and I understood all the mechanics. They really busted their asses making it easy to pick up and play.

I've actually played a very small amount of Hearthstone. And by small amount I mean I did the first 3-4 tutorial battles.
Seemed like something I could get into. 
Redtube is free.
Interesting thread.
It is my GOTY (admittedly, I don't play much), and I would say many puzzle adventure games could learn a thing or two from the puzzle design and presentation in Toki Tori 2+. They just feel natural/unforced, and amazingly, very few actually tread the same ground, despite using only a handful of techniques. And they all give you enough clue to make you kick yourself when you figure them out - like the clues are all there, if occasionally hidden quite well.
I'm not sure the industry needs to change for it though. I just would like more games that have the same thought put into it.

Greg, regarding the fact that game prices never went down when the Canadian dollar was stronger than the US Dollar but have gone up now that it's weakened: it's not fun being treated like an Australian, is it? Nope, not fun at all.
