Back in the saddle and I’m the sheriff! And Jake is also the sheriff! We’re both the sheriffs!! And you’re being thrown in the slammer, partner!

The fanbase seems to have grown a bit to welcome to all the new listeners! Have a seat, get comfy and settle in for a sexy little podcast journey!

We hungered for more Mass Effect 2 talk so you get a bunch for of that, as well as my review of No More Heroes 2, some info on the new DVD Halo Legends and our awesome experience with the Bad Company 2 demo.

Well, here we are, back in the saddle again! Huzzah my friends, huzzah!!

We’ve got a hell of alot of podcast love for you guys this week to make up for our wacky update schedule.

We talk about so many games, that I honestly don’t remember all the many, many things we talked about. I don’t know the order at all, but I know we talk about Wet, Scribblenauts, Mario and Luigi 3, Halo: ODST, Beatles Rock band, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and I’m sure a few other things that i’m missing. So just listen to them, and find yourself in a world of fantasy where your imagination is your car and hopes and dreams are the gasoline!

Also, I noticed that we say “When we were talking about it earlier” a shit load in our podcasts. This one is no exception.

Yup, Comicon has been no slouch this year when it comes to game related news, but here is a fun little crossover that I can totally get behind. Like the Matrix and Batman before it, The Halo franchise will be the next in the line of platforms wishing to expand their Universe using the talent of some of Japans most famous animation studios using 7 short animated featurettes.

The format will be almost Identical too that of Batman: Gotham Knight and The Animatrix, with the gathering of several big name japanese directors and writers to create and animate several one shots taking place in the Halo universe. Considering how much I liked those afformantioned DVD’s and the fact that at this point, I think I enjoy Halo more for its Novels and Comics than I do for the game (So far The expanded universe built in the novels outshadow EVERYTHING the games have attempted in a storytelling attempt and just in General. They were really good.) and this will probably be another checkmark to add onto that list.

Either way, that screencap above should be enough to get you excited about this type of thing. John looks pretty good animated doesn’t He?

I ask these two questions because those two genres have both gone through a respective metamorphosis of sorts over the last several years. The changes seem to have diluted what the two genres originally were and created a new, strange replacement hybrid of each. So when I ask if they exist anymore, I’m asking from the stand point of whether they truly exist, or if these new Versions of so called “RPG” and  “FPS” are really something brand new that just kept the same names as their predecessors.

Now I think I’ll start with the FPS because it has more recently gone through this strange transformation, since it’s really only taken place over the last 2 years or so. (continue reading…)
