Aliens invade the podcast this week, and it causes Drew to forget the introduction format (apparently we don’t have names now). Our alien overloads also caused us to discuss their Earth domination plans, which are made clear in the new Wii shooter, The Conduit.
And I, for one, welcome our new alien overlords. I’d like to remind them that as a trusted podcast personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves. (obligatory Simpsons joke).
The message from the extraterrestrial sponsors is available from the link below. The message is cleverly disguised as a fantastic somewhat-weekly video game podcast.
You Shall Not Cast – Episode 4(b)
We also discuss the merits of keyblades when compared to chainsaws. We revisit the Pacific Theater in Battlefield 1943, and go cartoony in Battlefield: Heroes. We offend everyone Down Under with our Australian accents. We talk old PC games, be it city building games, RTS games or board game ports. We talk point-and-click games and their wonderful fit with the Wii. Alex has a nerdgasm when he discusses Monster Hunter on PSP. Alex has mob flashbacks when he chokes random henchmen on the Wii, but can’t hack the mob life when he fails to micro-manage. Alex… well… he keeps going, with talk about Terminator: Salvation, Bionic Commando, his man-crush on Capcom, iPhone gaming and Rock Band 2.
Alex also takes over the video game news section, where he talks about Mass Effect 2, Calling, Nathan Fillion in Halo ODST, Command and Conquer 4, the adventures of Scurvy Pete, Guitar Hero 5, Mario Galaxy 2, Resident Evil 5 on Wii, Wii Motion Plus, the Summer of Fighters, and probably more I missed. It’s a long episode.
Check it out! And check below to see that illustrious YouTube video of Alex getting his shit knocked in Rock Band 2. Laugh at his unpleasantness!
Music used in today’s podcast is from the song “Bliss”, by Muse, off the Origin of Symmetry album.
Do you love gigantic, shape-shifting metallic aliens from beyond the stars? Excellent! In that case, you’ll love our review of The House Bunny!
Oh, we also talk about this one movie you might have heard of… Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It’s doing OK at the box office. I guess.
At any rate, you should totally listen to the latest episode of the audio-orgy known as You Shall Not Cast; available now at the link below.
YSNC – Episode 4A
Pat, Alex and Drew also talk about The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Moon, The Brothers Bloom, a shitload of movies available on Netflix Watch Instantly, and a bizarre robo-human relationship with Robin Williams. Then Pat and Drew derail the podcast, and Alex makes light of it by quoting Dane Cook.
We also talk about last week’s Box Office Breakdown, movie news (including who the Green Lantern will be, Spider-Man 4’s third writer, a feature-length Thanksgiving film, and the third installment in a spectre-fighting franchise), and movies we’re looking forward to.
And that’s not all! We need YOUR HELP!
Listeners! We also have a couple of questions we need answered. Please answer in the comments section below:
1) If you have to be stranded alone with a robot voiced by Robin Williams, would you a) enjoy it, or b) want to kill yourself? And if you would want to kill yourself, who would be the better substitute?
2) What show is Alex talking about where some girl loses her memory?
(Ed. Note: since the recording of this podcast, the following facts have been confirmed:
1) Ryan Renyolds will play Green Lantern in the upcoming Warner Brothers film.
2) The Hangover’s budget was roughly $35 mil, and has grossed over $300 mil worldwide. Hot. Shit.)
The song used at the intro and outro of this podcast is “Hysteria” by Muse, off the album Absolution, which you can find on Amazon.com.
OK, so not only did we dedicate an entire episode to dissecting the Electroic Entertainment Expo, but we also published it about a month too late! Fine, so we’re not punctual. Don’t pretend like you don’t still love us.
Late or not, this ep is still stocked with gushy gaming goodness. If you’re picking up a controller or a Wii-mote sometime in the next year, chances are you’ll play a few games talked about in this episode. For those who aren’t quite as nerdy as us, E3 is the expo that more or less highlights what will be coming in the video game world over the next year or so.
In this ep, we mostly go over the three biggest press conferences in the event: Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft. We talk Modern Warfare, Metal Gear, Mario and more. Even a few whisperings on where motion control is going in the industry, and how it will suck up our time and money in years to come. Project Natal, anyone? Oh yeah, we’re talking Natal.
So strap yourself in, crank up the volume, grab some fried tater fritters and prepare yourself for the nerdiest ride of your life.
(Boy, did that sound dirty.)
