Season 2 Episode 49 - Dial M for Murder

Welcome back to the First World Podcast. Our last episode before episode 100, please send us your questions and comments soon.  This week, we thought it would be fun to talk about mature games.  Dan, back from his break last week played Mighty Gunvolt, and beat it, and spent some time in Watch Dogs.  Madison spent a bunch of time this week watching video game YouTube videos, and really spent a lot of time watching Fallout 3: Kill Everyone, and Project Shrine Maiden, and she beat Disgaea D2. Heath beat the Dark Souls 2 Crown of the Old Iron King dlc, and started playing the indie darling, Fez.  Greg went back to his back catalog of games and dug into DMC, and Battlefield 4.  We also have a impromptu Destiny discussion.

Our original meme was "too mature" for the Australian Internet Council* so we censored it. Trust us, it was awesome.

Welcome back to the First World Podcast.  Greg was pondering the reasons why certain games get banned in Australia, so we thought that talking about cultural differences in games.  Madison beat Tomb Raider, and bought some cool toys. Heath downloaded the Silent Hill P.T. demo, and Mads came over to play it with him, spoiler alert, they were scared. Greg, in his continuing exploration of military shooters, he played all the way through Call of Duty: Black Ops and loved it, but didn't not like its sequel.  Dan, spent some time going through his Steam Sale acquisitions, and dug into Sanctum 2, but really spent a lot of time playing Nosgoth.

Season 2 Episode 46: Open Concept

Welcome back to the First World Podcast. Unfortunately, Madison couldn't be with us this week, so we figured we would talk about one of her favorite types of games, open world games.  Heath finally remembered that Dark Souls 2 first batch of dlc came out, and played through it.  Dan, inspired by speed runs, started Dark Souls, and gave up so he could play Dead Rising 3.  Greg found a game breaking bug in the solo campaign of Battlefield 4, so he picked up Call of Duty: Ghost to get a single player campaign.

An accurate summary of Dan's Dark Souls run...

And Greg plays the ultra cool, Transistor, from the studio that brought us Bastion. It's got a talking sword, so that's cool.

Season 2 Episode 31: Free To Pay

Welcome back to another exciting episode of the First World Podcast.  In keeping with the theme of having a member of the podcast be absent, this week Dan was off dishing out his own brand of vigilante justice on unsuspecting criminals.  Since Greg has been gone, something had been on his mind, so this weeks topic is Free-To-Play games.  In an odd turn of events, all members of the podcast played the same game, so everyone's Now Playing segment is Ubisoft's Child of Light.  Dan did leave one message though before he went out to fight crime, and that was to watch Attack on Titan, because it is super good.

Season 2 Episode 30: War Buddies

Welcome back to the First World Podcast.  Since real life has been so hectic and crazy lately, we ended up doing a short(er) episode at the new Studio 1-C.  We have been sentimental since we haven't had our buddy Greg around for the past few episodes, so we decided to talk about the social component of gaming and how it is now a culture, and not just something that you do to pass time.  Heath beat South Park: The Stick of Truth, and really enjoyed his time there.  Madison played some more Nestalgia, but got her brain busted in Braid.  Dan, like every good addict fell back into his Pokemon k-hole, and in this episode he explains how to get Shiny Pokemon.  We wrap up the episode with a quick recommendation round about what games are super fun with people around.

Some games are more of a friendship test....

Season 2 Episode 29: Live @ the Livery

Welcome back to a very crazy episode of the First World Podcast.  Because we had been pushing the chiptune show on Saturday night at the Livery, we decided to record the whole episode there. The show is live, and we aren't really set up to record live music easily, so  the show is a tad noisier than our normally sonic-smooth selves.  We had a quick Now Playing segment, where Heath talks about South Park Stick of Truth, Mads talks about Nestalgia, and Dan talks about the Wonderful 101. We grab a quick interview with Josh and Mike from Dream Fox, and the First World Podcast's very own Heath Aldrich to talk some chiptune stuff.

Check out the bands and show them some love.

Season 2 episode 28: Birthday Suit

Welcome back to the First World Podcast. IT IS DAN'S BIRTHDAY!!! So, we are going to talk Nintendo.  Greg hurt his back, so we brought in a secret weapon, Dan's friend Derek Carson.  Madison surprised us by playing Skyrim, and she didn't like it very much, but she did like Mickey Mouse and the Castle of Illusion. Derek was in a co-op mood, so he picked up Rayman Origins and liked it. Heath beat Dark Souls 2, and then started South Park and the Stick of Truth.  Dan found his mouse clicking muse with the Diabloesque Torchlight II.  We wrap up the episode with a new segment called Lesson Learned, where we talk about what life lessons we have taken from some of our favorite games.

The only party I've ever needed

Season 2 Episode 24: Crossing Over

Welcome back to the First World Podcast,  DAN IS BACK!!!  This week we reminisce about our favorite video game crossovers.  Dan picked up a copy of Project X Zone for the 3DS, and was pleasantly surprised.  Madison picked up her old copy of Odin Sphere for the PS2, and is compelled to finally beat it.  Greg stepped away from his Mechwarrior empire and dug into another free-2-play mech game Hawken.  Heath has given up his humanity and lost his soul for Dark Souls 2. We wrap up the episode with our new segment What If... This week we speculate what if the Sega Dreamcast hadn't failed.  Let us know what you think in the comment below or on our Facebook.

Seriously, Capcom will crossover with anyone.

Season 2 Episode 23: FWP FPS FTW

Welcome back to the First World Podcast.  This week, with the absence of Dan, who left us for the beaches of the Caribbean, we invited our good friend Mike "The Buff" Buffington to talk about first person shooters.  Mike went on over to the small mountain town of South Park and was searching for the Stick of Truth.  Heath picked up Need For Speed: Rivals for the PS4 with underwhelming results.  Greg took a tiny break from Mechwarrior to play the new expansion for Shadowrun Returns: Dragonfall.  Madison did her homework for the feature topic and played Cryisis 3 and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.  We wrap up the show with a brand new segment called "What If.." where we let our imagination run wild.

Season 2 Episode 20: Sugoi!

Konbanwa, this is the First World Podcast.  This week, we look at the rise and decline of Japan in the gaming world, and have a hearty debate on it's future in the world of video games.  Heath kept digging into his PS4 and played Killzone: Shadow Fall and Outlast.  Madison, after getting blasted on Valentines Day, played though most of Saints Row the 3rd.  Greg is still playing a ton of Mechwarrior Online, so he decided to fill us in on some other free-to-play mech games.  Dan got a new Windows phone, and also played the joyously insane Inazuma Eleven, a Soccer RPG for the 3DS.  Because the main topic was sooooooo good, and went on a little long, we decided to not do a third segment.  Let us know what you would like us to end with next week.
