The Steam Summer Sale has concluded and we talk about our booty, yarr, including Torchlight 2, Shadowrun Returns, Organ Trail, Surgeon Simulator 2013, Prison Architect, Antichamber and others. Chuck attempts to find some fun with Grand Theft Auto 4 (spoiler: he doesn’t) and Maki gives both that and Saints Row the Third a whirl. And everyone’s favorite BJ returns to deliver some Tales From Ingress, which is a mobile game for a few relevant mobile devices.

NQcast53 – Captain Laptop’s Teabagged Maps

 

First half!

* 3:14 GameWarp 2013 (Pinball time! We now love Swords of Fury and hate BW3s. We also checked out Player 1 Barcade in Orlando. A good time was had by all!)

* 21:57 3DS Streetpass Games (Being at a gaming convention leads to us getting tons of streetpasses and buying all the pay games! The verdict is not to bother with Flower Town, but the other 3 are worth it!)

* 34:37 Shadowrun Returns (Harlo gives this cyberpunk strategy game the thumbs up, voice acting or not!)

* 40:06 Organ Trail (Remember Oregon Trail? Did you think it didn’t have enough zombies? Well, if you said yes, friend, Harlo has the game for you!)

* 43:58 Grand Theft Auto 4 & Saints Row 3 (Chuck and Maki make the journey back to GTA4, which has not aged well. Maki begins his journey through Saints Row 3, comparing them as he goes. This leads to discussion of how to design an open world and our hopes for the upcoming sequels.)

* 1:07:50 Surgeon Simulator 2013 (Did you like QWOP but wished there was more precise surgical action in it? Well, friend, have we got the game for you! It’s stupid and impossible, but fun.)

* 1:13:48 Prison Architect (Harlo enjoys this Dungeon Keeper/Evil Genius style game in a prison. Fun bugs and moral quandaries abound! Keep an eye out for a No Quarters character who might make an appearance!)

* 1:17:38 Killing Floor (Do you like Gears of War’s horde mode? Do you like Left 4 Dead? Well, friend, Harlo has another game for you!)

* 1:20:09 Monaco (A pixel art heist game? Sign us up!)

Second Half! (1:23:58)

* 1:24:18 Dragon Age II (Chuck beats DA2, and realizes there wasn’t as much there as he was expecting. Except for a horrible decision at the end!)

* 1:33:45 Torchlight II (Harlo finishes the story and likes the world a lot more this time! Do you clickclickclick or do you click and hold? Yes, you are being judged.)

* 1:44:45 FTL: Faster Than Light (BJ gets into it more and more, but Harlo approaches Outliers level with his hours and hours of FTL experience.)

* 1:47:23 Top Gun: Hard Lock (Chuck enters the DANGER ZONE but wants a soundtrack to accompany his QTE feats. Play the first half of the game, quit when it takes too long to beat a mission!)

* 1:57:00 Injustice: Gods Among Us (Harlo loses all his progress because he doesn’t want to save on his hard drive. Figure this out, NeverRealm! Also, figure it out for the next gen, Microsoft!)

* 2:07:15 Antichamber (Harlo is Anti-ThisGame! Get it? Needless to say, he doesn’t like this ARG-mechanics game.)

* 2:10:14 DLC Quest (It may be all in service of a joke, but it’s a fun joke. And besides, it’s only a few bucks. Less than most DLC!)

* 2:12:16 Mobile Corner!

* 2:12:30 Transformers Legends (Maki finally quits on this game after the freemium model reveals itself as the evil bloodsucker it is.)

* 2:16:02 Ingress (BJ’s adventures in Ingress involve meeting new human beings in real life! Only one brandishes weapons at him. Amazing!)

* 2:26:46 3DS Corner!

* 2:27:10 Super Mario 3D Land (Chuck is happy to have a game that actually makes the 3D part of the gameplay!)

It’s hot outside, and of course we’re in the middle of the Steam Summer Sale. So naturally everyone is staying in to play all the latest video games! After some console chat involving The Last of Us, Bioshock Infinite, Ride to Hell: Retribution and The Walking Dead: 400 Days, there’s all kinds of PC gaming talk including FTL (which BJ literally plays during the podcast), Endless Space, Max Payne 3 and lots more. Plus, Gamewarp is rapidly approaching and we pay our respects to Giantbomb’s Ryan Davis who sadly passed away last week.

NQcast52 – Steamed

 

First half!

* 1:42 The Walking Dead: 400 Days DLC (Maki & Chuck make a return to the trail of tears and aren’t as impressed with this DLC as we were with Season 1.)

* 12:28 The Last Of Us (Maki finishes it and loves it. Do you care about story or mechanics? It’s close to a perfect melding of them… But not quite. )

* 21:55 Bioshock Infinite (Harlo loves it from start to finish. Shock of the year! Using powers instead of guns seems to be the recipe for fun.)

* 36:00 Ride To Hell: Retribution (Chuck just wants a fun, crazy biker game. THIS IS NOT THAT GAME. FYI: hockey masks can’t deflect 20 bullets in real life.)

* 43:43 Borderlands 2: Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep DLC (Harlo closes out his Borderlands 2 experience with this pretty okay DLC. We’ve probably reached the point of having too much Borderlands, sadly.)

* 51:37 Nintendo 3DS (Harlo continues our monthly tradition of one of us picking up a 3DS each episode! Also, the tradition of increasing our Streetpass count.)

* 55:00 Pilotwings Resort (Harlo can’t handle the 3D on this one. At all. )

* 55:40 New Super Mario Bros. 2 (It’s the easiest version of Super Mario Bros. ever. It’s pretty good, as long as you don’t decide to go for all the medals.)

* 1:00:03 Super Mario 3D Land (It’s an interesting variation of the Super Mario gameplay, but not quite as good as NSMB2.)

* 1:02:04 Mario Kart 7 (Have you played Mario Kart? Guess what! It’s Mario Kart!)

* 1:04:43 Jaws: Ultimate Predator (It sounds awesome but controls like Ecco The Dolphin. In all the worst ways.)

* 1:06:40 Nintendo eShop (It’s terrible! Reviews are worthless and finding a specific game is impossible.)

* 1:08:35 Animal Crossing: New Leaf (Harlo joins the ACNL insanity of “Tamagochi on crack.” Time to sell some turnips!)

* 1:18:53 Wii U (Harlo tries one out and decides he’s probably never getting one!)

Second Half! (1:23:44)

* 1:23:57 Marvel Heroes (Harlo pays money in a free to play game! Now what do we call it?)

* 1:30:28 World of Tanks Xbox 360 Edition Beta (Chuck gets in the beta and learns that World War I tanks are not very good at surviving!)

* 1:34:19 Deus Ex: Human Revolution (Harlo just wants to do cool cyborgy things, since he’s a cool cyborg. But the game doesn’t let him.)

* 1:43:35 Max Payne 3 (Harlo can’t stand the presentation of the cutscenes, and the gameplay isn’t quite fun enough to make up for that.)

* 1:50:49 Endless Space (Maki tries to jump back into space in-between Neptune’s Pride games and realizes he’s not smart enough to play Endless Space.)

* 1:53:31 FTL (BJ & Maki absolutely love the simplicity of this space management game. Now give us an iPad version!)

* 2:04:53 The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing (Harlo beats the game, but it doesn’t quite have the replayability of a Diablo. Also, once again, let’s stop making “cake is a lie” jokes.)

* 2:09:33 Gunpoint (Harlo beats this one, too! Stuck? Every game ever, pick up their checkpoint system!)

* 2:11:42 Bodycount (Chuck enjoys the mindless v...

The saddest episode of No Quarters features tears over The Last of Us and The Walking Dead, anger sets in with Fast & Furious: Showdown, and confusion reigns when Dragon Age II and State of Decay are played. Thankfully, joy arrives as Chuck rediscovers Animal Crossing on his shiny new Nintendo 3DS. Also, stay away from kids.

NQcast51 – 2 Last (Of Us) 2 Furious

 

First half!

* 1:16 Xbox One DRM reversal (Is the grass always greener? Gamers apparently think so. Microsoft DEFINITELY hopes so!)

* 11:53 The Last Of Us (A great stealth game that’s not for everyone leads to talk of review scores and expectations. But seriously, play this game!)

* 33:22 State of Decay (Chuck checks out this persistent zombie game with one HUGE flaw. Well, a flaw aside from being a zombie game.)

* 40:20 The Walking Dead Episode 1 (BJ abandons his marathon idea and finds himself getting emotional in this episode. We all can’t wait to hear what happens to him next episode! It’s complicated.)

* 53:24 Jurassic Park: The Game (Chuck calls it “Walking Dead Lite”. Somehow, you play every single character in the game? This leads to having a conversation with yourself at one point. What?)

* 59:16 Heavy Rain (Maki dives into this PS3 exclusive for Phoenix Down podcast and finds out Walking Dead and other games owe it a huge debt. Just don’t play it with the Move! Check out 3 hours of thoughts here:

Phoenix Down Heavy Rain Episode 1

Phoenix Down Heavy Rain Episode 2

* 1:09:01 The Swapper (Harlo puzzles his way through this gorgeous indie exploration game. Buy it!)

* 1:13:16 Gunpoint (Harlo continues the puzzle train with this goofy, funny, tricky indie title. )

* 1:16:58 The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing (Harlo really likes this Diablo-style game. There’s a lot more to do than you think!)

* 1:21:03 Metro 2033/Metro Last Light (The new one looks amazing, the old one is still european as hell.)

Second Half! (1:28:18)

* 1:28:25 Animal Crossing: New Leaf (Chuck gets a 3DSXL in order to play this game. Tom Nook and his dirty kids STILL want his money, though.)

* 1:32:18 3DS Streetpass (Chuck cares WAY too much about getting Streetpasses from other 3DS owners.)

* 1:39:31 Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon (Maki enjoys sucking up ghosts with a vacuum, but wishes the missions were slightly shorter or the game had better autosaves.)

* 1:43:12 Infamous (Chuck enjoys the territory claiming aspect of this open world superhero game but dislikes the arcadey control scheme. )

* 1:47:47 Uncharted 3 (Harlo finally beats it, and realizes the best parts of the game are all backloaded into the last third of the game, which is awesome! Also, HORSES!)

* 1:56:11 Dragon Age II (Chuck hopes to rekindle his love from DA:Origins in its much-maligned sequel. After 16 hours, nothing has happened. Sadface.)

* 2:04:56 Fast & Furious: Showdown (BJ joins the majority of the podcast members and hates this game. Life is too short to play games this bad. YOLO.)

* 2:09:25 Forza Horizon DLC (Connection issues destroy Maki’s enthusiasm for this game’s new goals.)

* 2:11:01 Project Gotham Racing 4 (Kudos to this drift racer for still looking great, even 5 years later.)

* 2:14:02 Doom (Maki plays the XBLA version on Ultraviolence and without cheats. It’s like a whole new game!)

* 2:17:37 Unreal Tournament 2004 (It still holds up if you have friends to play with. Get it cheap!)

* 2:20:13God Of War Origins Collection (Harlo ha...

Our last game of Neptune’s Pride 2: Triton was so popular that we decided discussion of our second game should be its very own episode! And so here it is! Come listen to the post-mortem breakdown of how to be an anonymous space-dick.

It’s a bonus episode of No Quarters as we talk about all the drama, shenanigans and then eventually the games of E3 2013. Who won: Sony or Microsoft? Did Nintendo say anything interesting? Will the OUYA take over the gaming world? And when will someone put Razor Callahan in another Need For Speed game? All these questions will be answered in this very episode! (Note: Saints Row IV image unrelated to podcast, but SAINTS ROW IV OMG!)

It’s our 50th episode and we celebrate the milestone by talking about video games! But first, we break down all the non-news surrounding the reveal of the Xbox One, Chuck gets an OUYA in the mail and Maki buys a Nintendo 3DS XL. There’s games talk galore too with Poker Night 2, Fast & Furious Showdown, Star Trek, Neptune’s Pride 2: Triton, Dragon Age, EVE Online and lots more. Come listen to our merriment!

(Note: Audio quality degrades from 2:48 to 3:07. This was on our end, do not adjust your whatevers.)

NQcast50 – Flawless Victory

 

First half!

* 1:37 Xbox One reveal (We talk about it a LOT, despite Microsoft telling us basically nothing. The short version? Wait for E3.)

* 31:53 Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon (Listen to our previous episode! The short version? It’s awesome!)

* 32:49 Call of Juarez: Gunslinger (Harlo gets his $15 worth in this cel shaded, looping narrative story. The short version? Worth $15!)

* 37:42 Star Trek (Chuck enjoys this game (ironically?), though Harlo disagrees! The short version? Don’t pay full price!)

* 46:04 Fast & Furious: Showdown (Maki and Harlo hated it and quit very early on, but Chuck beat it! This leads to discussion of why Chuck plays “bad” games. The short version? Don’t listen to Chuck!)

* 56:36 Skyrim (Chuck likes it but says it’s broken! The short version? Chuck hates bugs and lockups more than bad gameplay.)

* 59:24 Dead Island (It takes Chuck 6 hours to realize it’s not fun. Harlo likes it, though! European game design is a love or hate thing. The short version? You either “get” this game or you don’t.)

* 1:07:29 Poker Night 2 (Maki and Harlo play some video game poker! The character list is pretty good, the poker AI, not so much. The short version: Come for the jokes, not the poker.)

* 1:17:15 Ouya (Chuck got a Kickstarter Ouya! It’s a mobile phone on your TV screen. The short version? It’s pre-release, so it needs some serious updates.)

* 1:23:53 Nintendo 3DS XL (Maki got a 3DS XL! The screen is HUGE, the 3D works well once you’re in the sweet spot and some games are better than others! The short version? It’s pretty good and finally has some games.)

Second Half! (1:32:16)

* 1:32:32 Neptune’s Pride II: Triton (All of us join in on this browser-based multiplayer 4X strategy game. Alliances are made and broken, along with friendships. The short version? It’s worth playing, just find a game with a smaller galaxy so it doesn’t take a month for a single game. Also, never trust Maki. Ever.)

* 2:17:00 EVE Online (Chuck journeys into space and gets scared at the vastness of it. The short version? Life’s too short!)

* 2:20:10 Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet (Maki enjoys it, but realizes there’s really not much depth to it at all after beating it. The short version? Play for the gameplay and exploration, not for the story.)

* 2:22:22 Zombie Apocalypse (Maki clears out the final achievement in this game. And now he will never play it again. the short version? Developers, know the point where your game becomes too repetitive!)

* 2:24:35 Demon’s Souls (Harlo questions the sanity of those who play games this difficult and frustrating. the short version? He didn’t like it.)

* 2:32:31 Dragon Age: Origins (Harlo tries to scratch his Game of Thrones itch and longs for more from this Bioware game. Will the PC version change his mind? The short version? It’s not the Bioware game he wants. Still.)

* 2:38:21 Tropico 3 & 4 (Chuck & Harlo scratch that SimCity itch, as well as unleash their inner despot with this fun sim game. The short version? Well worth playing!)

In this very special episode of No Quarters, we’re joined by the crew of Bad Movie Fiends to discuss a match made in heaven in game form. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is the game that feels like it was specifically made for us. Warning: After a short bit of general talk, we will get heavy into spoilers.

This month we break down and talk about video games! All the latest and greatest video games like Injustice: Gods Among Us, Bioshock Infinite, Guacamelee!, Sleeping Dogs, Forza Horizon, the original Bioshock, classic pinball machines and… okay so only a couple of them are late and great. But we have fun talking and therefore you’ll have fun listening! SO HOP TO IT.

NQcast49 – Presented By Chicken Kickin’

 

First half!

* 1:20 Injustice: Gods Among Us (Terrible title, great fighting game! As if you expected different from the Mortal Kombat team. Harlo even likes Aquaman!)

* 14:15 Bioshock Infinite (Buy the ticket, take the ride. Or something. Maki praises then rants then praises then rants about it. It’s bipolar, like the game!)

* 38:44 Guacamelee (Harlo & Maki enjoy this PSN Metroidvania co-op game. Just remember that stereotypes can be racist, too!)

* 46:38 Tomb Raider (Harlo doesn’t like it nearly as much as Chuck and Maki did. Just don’t go for the collectables and challenges!)

* 1:00:08 Forza Horizon FreeLC (Chuck loves all these new free challenges, even if he didn’t buy all the new DLC cars.)

Second Half! (1:05:58)

* 1:06:10 FTL: Faster Than Light (Harlo wins! He actually beat FTL! He also succeeded at not getting fired from work in the process!)

* 1:09:45 Sleeping Dogs (Chuck makes a very specific analogy between this game and GTA4, specifically. It’s no Saints Row The Third, though!)

* 1:19:15 Just Cause 2 PC Multiplayer Beta (Harlo plays Just Cause 2 with up to 5000 people. Holy crap.)

* 1:23:58 Batman Arkham City GOTY PC (Just like the console version, you have to play the intro before you can unlock Batman. Also, it looks GOOD.)

* 1:25:27 Tribes: Ascend (Harlo returns to the world of Tribes and loves it.)

* 1:28:56 Civilization V (It’s back down that rabbithole for Harlo. We wax nostalgic about the Civ series for a bit. Just one more turn!)

* 1:34:27 Bioshock (Chuck cracks 100,000 gamerscore with this current-gen “classic.” He doesn’t agree with the rest of the world about the story being the selling point, though.)

* 1:4:37 Pinball Corner!

* 1:45:11 Pinball Arcade PS3 (Genie and Big Shot entertain Harlo!)

* 1:46:39 Pinball Arcade iOS (WHITEWATER IS IN PINBALL ARCADE.)

* 1:49:00 Real Pinball Tables (Sopranos and Addams Family are played at a pool hall! Also, we jukebox trolled a pool hall.)

* 1:52:58 Playstation Plus Corner!

* 1:53:23 Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention (The game seems really cool until we all realize it’s a tactical strategy RPG. Then our enthusiasm drains. Bummer.)

* 1:56:00 Resonance of Fate (Not a PS+ title, but Chuck won it and couldn’t play this style of game anymore, either.)

* 1:59:50 Demons Souls (Harlo is tempted to go down the difficulty rabbithole.)

* 2:01:43 Mobile Corner!

* 2:01:57 Injustice: Gods Among Us iOS (We just want unlocks for the console version! Unfortunately you have to deal with a free to play card game Infinity Blade style thing with microtransactions. Hmmmmmmm.)

* 2:07:15 Little Things (It’s a cute little picture hunt game. Just don’t bother trying to play it on your phone.)

* 2:09:16 Rockpocalypse (The Rock in an Infinity Blade type game! What could go wrong? Oh, you didn’t get The Rock to record new phrases? And the controls suck? Oh.)

Listener Mail! (2:12:32)

* 2:12:46 Alan lets us know about Youtube ads for Train Simulator 2013! (Farming Simulator is coming to consoles. HOW)

* 2:15:17Jens wants to know what we think of Gearbox these days after some terrible recent games? (If it’s their property, thumbs up. If it’s anybody else’s license,

While there are plenty of console games discussed this episode (including Tomb Raider, Mass Effect 3 Citadel, Far Cry 3, Dead Space 3, Defiance Beta and more), we continue our love/hate relationship with PC gaming. This month, Harlo re-enters the world and has more success than BJ did last month. Titles include SimCity, The Showdown Effect, FTL, Arma III, Planetside 2 and so many others. 3D gaming is pretty great too, but you gotta pay for it. You don’t have to pay for this podcast though, so get to listenin’.

NQcast48 – Relationship Status With PC Gaming: It’s Complicated

First half!

* 1:27 Tomb Raider (Bad jokes about the name aside, it’s a really good game! Might be too gory for it’s own good but it’s still worth playing!)

* 24:24 SimCity (More like SimNeighborhood Can’t Connect To Server AMIRITE?)

* 39:18 The Showdown Effect (The follow-up to NQ favorite Magicka isn’t quite what Harlo wanted. Also, multiplayer only, so buyer beware!)

* 45:57 Mass Effect 3 Citadel DLC (This is what would happen if Mass Effect 3 was made into a 5-jox ‘80s movie. Chuck and Maki recommend it as highly as they possibly can.)

* 59:11 Dead Space 3 Awakened DLC (Maki says it’s more Dead Space 3. If you liked DS3, you’ll like it! If you didn’t, well… You’re probably not playing it anyway, right?)

* 1:01:12 Dead Space 3 (Chuck beats it and ends up hating it by the end of the game. Sad face.)

* 1:07:25 Far Cry 3 (BJ beats a video game and loves it! If you hated the ending, you probably played it wrong. Real talk, people.)

Second Half! (1:21:57)

* 1:22:20 Halo 4 (Maki plays Spartan Ops. Even he doesn’t know why. )

* 1:27:05 Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (BJ experiences the joys of a 3DTV but it doesn’t make him enjoy playing the game or the ADHD storyline.)

* 1:35:26 Bioshock & Bioshock 2 (It’s better than Maki said it was last month, but it’s still not great. Especially the last few levels. Bioshock 2 is more of the same. Great, huh.)

* 1:39:35 Innovation In Games (A question from Greencapt leads to a discussion about innovation vs. iteration this generation, along with a whole bunch of other issues.)

* 2:03:11 PC Gaming on a 3DTV (Harlo pays $40 to get new Nvidia drivers to render games on his 3DTV in 3D. Well worth the $40.)

* 2:11:15 Arma III Alpha (Harlo declares this one of the most beautiful games he’s ever seen. And it’s still in alpha!)

* 2:15:41 FTL (None of us have beaten it. Still. Yet Harlo is still addicted to it.)

* 2:18:41 Torchlight 2 (It’s more Torchlight! Except this time with honey badgers.)

* 2:20:34 Planetside 2 (FTPMMOFPS! Harlo likes it so far!)

* 2:23:15 Star Control 2 (Harlo and Chuck love going back to the past and playing this space sim that was way ahead of its time.)

* 2:29:48 Batman Arkham Asylum PC (Maki gets disoriented by playing this game at 60fps and with hi-res textures. And he loves it.)

* 2:37:40 Pinball Corner!

* 2:37:40 Pinball FX2: Star Wars tables (Maki loves Empire Strikes Back, everyone else likes it. Clone Wars is ok, Boba Fett? Meh.)

* 2:40:17 Pinball Arcade: Star Trek Next Generation (Harlo redeems it for PSN and feels like he’d be a master of the real version now!)

* 2:41:34 Playstation Plus Corner!

* 2:41:34 Closure (Dark and light makes us wonder how programmers figure this stuff out.)

* 2:44:27 Defiance Beta (Harlo tries out this MMO tie-in to a new TV show and recommends it. Especially since it has /dance in it.)

* 2:47:37 Lumines: Electronic Symphony (Maki finally has a copy that doesn’t need to keep it in the Vita drive anymore.)

* 2:48:20 Mobile Corner! (description)

If you happened to watch our live stream of the recording of this episode, you know that it was a giant mess of a show with technical snafus, pizza deliveries, code reds and the potential birth of a found footage movie as we all get murdered by phantom knockers. However, this audio recording features none of that since editing is a wonderful thing. In its place, we talk about Aliens: Colonial Marines, Dead Space 3, Lollipop Chainsaw, PC gaming, and the announcement of the Playstation 4. Come, join us.

NQcast47 – Malaria Guns Pizza Party

First half!

* Playstation 4 (The next generation is officially almost here and we have strong words to say about it. Also, dumb words. Also, pizza.)

Second Half! (29:14)

* 29:29 Dead Space 3 (Maki and Chuck sever some microtransactional limbs and shoot dudes that are not monsters for some reason. They like it, but don’t love it.)

* 43:32 Aliens Colonial Marines (Chuck basks in the anger, sadness and complete idiocy of this utterly broken game. The word garbage and many variants are used.)

* 58:29 Far Cry 3 (BJ joins the fold and enjoys it as much as his beloved Far Cry 2 and comes up with a casowary extinction plan.)

* 1:09:51 Lollipop Chainsaw (Maki can’t figure out if he likes this crazy Suda 51 cheerleader fighting zombies game or if he doesn’t. This is not a review!)

* 1:15:06 PC Gaming! (BJ attempts to create a rig and fails as Maki attempts Big Picture mode and kinda-sorta succeeds. Will PC gaming make a triumphant return?)

* 1:32:52 Midnight Club: LA (Chuck grabs his T-Mobile Sidekick and enjoys the polish and personality of this Rockstar open world racing blast from the past.)

* 1:37:54 Ratchet & Clank HD (Speaking of blasts from the past, Maki is shocked at how modern this game feels.)

* 1:42:12 Assassin’s Creed 3 (Maki finds some fun in all the random stuff that’s not story-related.Well, aside from the stalker fetch missions.)

* 1:47:08 Red Dead Redemption multiplayer (BJ and Maki crush some posse with friends and enjoy shooting zombies and bandits down in Yeehaw Gulch.)

* 1:50:21 GI Joe: Rise of Cobra (Chuck shockingly enjoys the hell out of this GI Joe cartoon nostalgiafest. It’s not as bad as you’ve heard!)

* 1:54:48 Bioshock (Maki discovers that nostalgia only takes you so far, as he struggles upon his return to Rapture with modern eyes and ears.)

* 2:01:21 Spec Ops: The Line (Harlo wraps up the story and his opinion of it descends even further.)

* 2:08:02 Sniper Elite V2 (BJ wraps up the storyline and wishes they’d stuck with what they’re good at instead of turning you into Rambo every mission.)

* 2:12:35 XBLIG Corner!

* 2:12:52 Arcadecraft (Harlo and Chuck create their own arcades in this mashup of SimCity and Game Dev Story.)

* 2:21:17 DLC Corner!

* 2:21:22 Dead Space 2 Severed (Maki and Chuck play through and like it alright. It’s kind of missing a middle act, though.)

* 2:22:44 Rock Band DLC (Pour one out for the greatest DLC effort we are likely ever to see.)

* 2:25:24 Playstation Plus Corner!

* 2:25:36 Persona 4 Arena demo (Harlo is utterly confused since he’s never played any of the Persona games.)

* 2:29:12 Quantum Conundrum (Yes, it’s by one of the makes of Portal. Yup, it plays a lot like Portal.)

* 2:31:41 Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus Vita (Maki is reminded that the Ninja Gaiden games are SUPER HARD.)

* 2:35:01 Closure (This puzzle game’s visual style doesn’t necessarily sell Harlo on it, but the gameplay does.)

* 2:37:13 Mobile Corner! (description)

* 2:37:24 Bloons TD 5 (Maki laments his wasted life unt...
