School’s out (or: how to help impatient RPG players)
By qazimod | October 3, 2008
It’s been a couple of months since I’ve rambled about any games in particular, but then lately I’ve had a bit of a scattershot approach to what I feel like playing; as well as keeping one eye on Live’s Marketplace and the other on games forums, I’m being badgered on MSN to play online games, accepting the odd invite if I’m at my 360, and playing PS2 games that I’d bought months ago. However, strike that last one off the list, as that game was pretty much completed last night, and I must say it left quite an impression…

Dorkcast 26 Update -A Delay….but a good delay!
By Uzi | September 30, 2008
Hello everyone. Uzi here. Though the posted by Uzi thing probably tell’s you that. Right. anyway. EPISODE 26 WHERE ARE YOU? Well as you can see it’s not here. It’s not hidden in a well guarded safe in a Swiss bank. It does exist. But it exists in the future. By about a week or so.
A busy week in RL has meant we couldn’t do the podcast this week, but we have a way to make up for it. Episode 26 is hopefully going to be a special episode with some planned guests…and…game talk. We’ll try and make it special!
It should be up around this time next week- but keep checking in. It could come out earlier.
Peace out lovers x

Confessions of a Trophy Obsessive
By Kinketsu | September 24, 2008
I have never owned an X-box. When the first one was out, I was perfectly happy enjoying my PS2, and most of the games seemed the same old apart from things I didn’t want, like the dayglo American stylings of Halo. Not long after the 360 came out, I moved to Japan and ended up waiting until the PS3 was released in order to take advantage of the mutli-region stuff, and so on.
So when people used to go on about achievements, I always used to think it was pretty stupid. You’re playing the game anyway, what difference does it make if you get a little badge that says you’ve shot fifty people. But that’s where I was wrong, you see, because it makes loads of difference. Loads.

DorkCast025: The screams!
By xibxang | September 23, 2008
If only we could have Peter Molyneux describe out podcast like it was one of his games. We’d be winning awards right, left and center.
Uzi’s been gaming on Fracture and Pure but xib’s been shaking his fist at Braid… weeks after it’s been released.
We give you our usual news roundup and in incoming we talk about Silent Hill: Homecoming, Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway, Wario Land: Shake it! and Golden Axe: Beast Rider.
Sorry we’re late this week!

Fame, eh?
By xibxang | September 17, 2008
You can always tell when a site’s becoming popular: the spam attacks start to get bigger and bigger. We’re under such an attack right now here at the site so I’ve closed off the ability to sign up to the blog for now.
Once I get some captcha software installed I’ll open things back up. If you’re desperate to get in in the meantime, then please gimme an email and I’ll set you up with an account manually. Apologies for the inconvenience.

DorkCast024: Back in our stride
By xibxang | September 15, 2008
Whoa! We actually made it back IN A WEEK. Like old times.
Like other old times we just chat about games and rubbish non stop. There is the news as usual, then Uzi tells his padawan Xib how Star Wars Force Unleashed fares. We also cover the oddworld games (well the first one mainly) and we get VERY excited about October (again) with Dead Space and Saint’s Row 2. xib even confesses that Geo Wars Evolved has been owning his heart.

DorkCast023: Too Human Rage
By xibxang | September 8, 2008
We’re finally back properly! Uzi’s still using a replacement mic but don’t fret: while I was editing this, he received his new proper replacement so his beautiful dulcet tones will be restored to normal in DC024.
So what about this week? This week Uzi rants about too human and almost loses his temper. On the bright side, we cover Geometry Wars Evolved, Mercenaries 2, Rock Band an the Pure demo.
In incoming we drool over Fable 2 and Fallout 3 and I try to assemble plans about what I’m going to play first and properly in the incoming deluge of great games.
90 minutes of us doing our thang in that same old style you’ve grown to know.

A Brain Massage with a Happy Ending
By Uzi | September 5, 2008
Tell me a great tale. Please. One that will make my eyes widen with the words you splash onto your canvas, my body shiver slightly with the possibility of fantasy illogically mixing with reality and my mouth going dry as an indication that time is passing faster on my body than in my head. Go on, do it.

DorkCast022.5: Jump!
By xibxang | September 3, 2008
We’re not dead! We’re still bloody waiting on Uzi’s proper headset to be delivered. Oh the joys of warranties and logistics.
This is a quick half-hour show to let everyone know that we’re still kicking and champing at the bit to get back to podcasting. We kick off with a 7-minute long BRAIDgasm from Uzi and then once xib can finally get a word in, we talk about what’s coming up in games titles in the next two months.
Let’s see. There’s Star Wars: Force Unleashed, Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise, Mercenaries 2, Infinite Undiscovery, Fable 2, Little Big Planet, Fallout 3, Dead Space and one or two PSN/XBLA titles in there too.
See you guys at the weekend!
