So, since I wasn't around to kick everyone's ass this year...who won the quiz?

Leon: commercial, from around 1994/1995. I played the demo. It came on The Disc! which was from the magazine CD Rom Today.

New episode!

A very atmospheric discussion.  Also, longest podcast yet, but the last one for a while because I'm moving away and won't have access to my PC and microphone for a couple of weeks.

Also wishing everyone a good time.  Really wish I could have made it this year, but alas. 

Excuse me while I get back to my Grundi/Ben slash-fiction.

Don't forget to include a Morales in there somewhere.

New Episode!

Companion characters!  Bromance!  Let's all be friends!

Another Episode!

OH BOY!!!

I randomly remembered this game today, and I have no idea what it's called.  It's driving me crazy, so I appeal to the knowledge of AGSers!

I remember playing a demo for this game in the mid-90s, possibly 1994/1995.  I distinctly remember running it on a brand new PC with Windows 95 on it, and it was a Windows game.  The music was MIDI and very cheesy and repetitive.  It had very silly voice acting.  The very few details I remember are these:

- In the demo, you played as an anthropomorphic ape who is red and wears a light blue outfit.  He had a headband and shorts and his hair was kind of like a mohawk.  I think there was more than one playable character, but you only controlled him in the demo.
- The graphics were very bright and colorful, and the sprites were hi-res and cartoony.
- One of the puzzles involved rescuing your friend who was a pig from a spit roast.
- Another puzzle involved hitting a gong, where a grouchy old guy would show up and say "Hey! Who disturbs my rest and stuff?" in a lame attempt to be funny.

Any help would be appreciated! 

Finally got through my backlog of games and managed to play and finish Primordia.

What can I say that hasn't already been said?  I greatly enjoyed it, and was amazed and impressed by all aspects of this project.  Outstanding job all around.  Tomorrow I will play through again with the commentary, because I am extremely eager to hear all the behind the scenes stuff that went into this game.

Thanks Andail, glad you enjoyed them.

I noticed the similarity in puzzles myself, which I can assure you was purely coincidental, as we conferred about pretty much everything except puzzles.  Blame it on the limited amount of time.  I can assure you that what we've brainstormed so far for the main project does not include any sort of item hunt/electronic repair.

Maybe one day we'll release all the vile stuff we say when we're not recording.  It can be called "Midnight Blue Cup."

NEW EPISODE! WE TALK TOO MUCH!

I've just finished up pressing the grooves into the vinyl, so I'll pack it up and send it to you soon, Ponch. 

We've joined the rest of the internet and now our podcast is available on iTunes!

No, we'd need to be in the same room again to do that. 

Here you go!

In this special episode, "Top Scores," we each talk about and play some of our favorite tracks from video games!

We have something special planned for episode 13...

Better late than never! Please enjoy them!

By far my favorite of the bunch.  It's hard to pull off good comedic timing, but the bit where you look at the carrots and get slapped a bunch, then there's that one final slap after the beat was 100% perfect.

Kudos on that opening animation, it made me laugh a whole bunch.  The game was pretty fun too, and I liked the puzzles!

What a ridiculous notion. Honestly!
