This week the lads review Arkanoid, the classic spiritual successor to Breakout. Released in 1986, Arkanoid added power-ups, on-screen enemies and fun level designs to the basic Breakout formula. Does the game still hold up today? Tune in to find out! ***** Also in this fluorescent episode - in a landmark moment for Game/Life Balance Australia, AC has been playing Final Fantasy VII! He shares his views on this beloved Japanese role-playing game, the things he loves about the game and the things he ... tolerates. Meanwhile Rob has been playing co-op games with his girlfriend which has been new and exciting for him. Plus Wario Ware clones, swimming lessons for toddlers, and our recent scandalous appearances on other podcasts that aren't this one! ***** If you love this show then seek help, but if you like it a bit then why not give us a lovely review on the Apple Podcast app or wherever the heck else you get your podcasts from?! WHY NOT?!?! ***** And if you're super keen then what is stopping you from visiting the GonnaGeek Network website at www.gonnageek.com and checking out the other geeky podcasts? Nothing is stopping you! Nothing other than your own sense of shame at your nerdy interests. So get over that social conditioning and go listen to middle aged men talking about comic books, you know you secretly lust for this content so stop denying yourself! ***** The musics you hear is made by a dog with cool sunglasses called Me and My Shadow and although that's a weird name for a dog you can find the other music this clever canine makes at meandmyshadow.bandcamp.com ***** And for the Croady Goff and Uncle Stabbo content that you crave like a thirsty plant dreaming of electrolytes in your plant dreams, go to this website and click on things and your life will improve tenfold: www.gamelifebalance.us *****
