The Podcats: Replay!
Not to be confused with a popular Japanese game genre, why do we want to replay some games?

Not to be confused with a popular Japanese game genre, why do we want to replay some games?

We look at the gains and losses gamers have seen during this generation of gaming devices.

Unfinished games. Games released before they were ready. Not so much Medium-Rare as Steak Tartare.

This week we’re talking about Music in videogames- Chip Tunes, Red Book, MIDI, Ad Lib, etc.
Keep listening past the first 30 seconds please.

In this show: we talk attempted interference from publishers, The Saboteur’s interesting 10 Dollar strategy and get the name of a magazine wrong

Also: The Podcats turns 18. Ok, so we’ve done around 165 podcats since 2006 in one form or another, but this iteration is now legal in some states.
Do real-life hobbies shape your gaming tastes and vice-versa?

The Podcats turns its white-hot gaze to the burning topic of gaming searing itself into the Mainstream Media. Hot!!!

You know those news stories where an ageing actor is pull over by the cops and is incoherent and rambling like a loon? Well that’s this podcats. Tech failures is nominally the topic but some idiot mentions Crackdown 2 in Cam’s presence and all of the air is suddenly sucked out of the room, inducing a light headed state.

Apparently, The Cloud is in our future. Instead of buying the latest and greatest PC, you will be playing on a thin client with data streamed over the net from a server. Cam understands, George spreads FUD.

This Podcats is free yet it’s still a rip-off! Following on fron the last show’s chat about value, we talk about the videogame ripoffs we all know too well.
