Two Fat Guys Talk

e039: Predictifaction 2013 -- Dave and Carlos look back at the predictions they made at the beginning of 2013, and discover they have no idea what they're talking about. Panda pussy. Xbox "720." Get (un)hype?

e038: Blizzcon Audio? Hear New Horizons of Burning Desire! -- Carlos' mic was acting funny which lead to volume fluctuations on his end; apologies for that, but NOT for his and Dave's opinions on Blizzcon 2013! They also talk about other podcasts they listen to, including one Carlos recently was a guest on, the Pixel Response Podcast (http://pixel-response.com)! Listen for love and glory?

e037: Boobspikes Lining the David Cage -- Dave and Carlos welcome back friends for a spirited discussion on David Cage's "contributions" to gaming, intentionally difficult games, and difficulty spikes that ground our gears. We also learn Napoleon's TRUE nationality and obsess over Ellen Page a little, because she has a purdy mouf.

e036: Why? The controller that longed for death! -- Something something SteamOS and Steam controller, something something "sexism" re: Quiet from Metal Gear Solid 5, something something we need more female protagonists in games and fiction, something something PlayStation Vita TV, something something timepants, something something god Prometheus sucked.

e035: Fashionably Late? Fat Guys Talk About Summer Stuff! -- Recorded in late July/early August, and only out in September thanks to Carlos being a lazy asshole, the titular FAT GUYS talk about Dragon's Crown "sexism," XBox One self-publishing, the Steam Summer Sale, Carlos getting his ass kicked at Evolution 2013, and more! Truly, we are the sons of God, though Carlos needs to lower his mic gain so his heavy-ass breathing gets heard less.

e034: Three Times E = Interesting, See? E3M13 -- After E3 2013, Dave and Carlos give their impressions on the big presentations, the games, and who did the best job shivving fools. The tag for E3 2013 is apparently E3M13, which reads like Classic DOOM level shorthand to us. God we miss Classic DOOM (or at least Carlos does)...

e033: Totally Late Pre-E3 Episode 2013 Edition -- Recorded Sunday June 9 (before the MS/Sony/Ubisoft/EA events). Dave and Carlos make E3 predictions and spout off fanwank wishlists. Stay tuned for a post-E3 episode later this week!

e032: Xrd Box! That's ONE Guilty Hallway? -- Dave and Carlos tear into the massive pile o' crap Microsoft calls its next generation gaming console, the XBox One. Join their anger, followed by delight at the teaser for the next Guilty Gear game, Guilty Gear Xrd. The pair cap things off by talking about the "hallway" concept in gaming. Informative rage-vision awaits?

e031: It Watches Me Sleep -- X-Box 720 rumor milling and musings over always-online DRM strike in the latest episode of Two Fat Guys Talk Games And Friends! Dave and Carlos welcome Kiki, Po, and Ziek back to the program via a time portal that gets the bunch pondering about time mechanics in games, but only if this internet connections keeps their microphones up and running thanks to the machinations of evil corporations or something.

e030: Steam 4 PS Box -- Before we begin, KEEP SKULLGIRLS GROWING! Visit http://bit.ly/XpecCt and donate if you're able. If you're not, at least pop by the awesome forum SkullHeart (http://skullheart.com) to discuss the game! That out of the way, we've got a double feature today; one podcast where Dave and Carlos discuss Steam Box theories and other related topics (like electronic purchases and the legality of what you "own" and also Dreamcast terror and pony fighters) and another about the recently unveiled PlayStation 4! Enjoy and be merry. (If you're wondering about the ep picture: Carlos got lazy partway through drawing it...)

e029: Catch Up? Future Speculations Make For Great Sensations! -- (Sound quality problems from either editing or our equipment; apologies.) Where Dave and Carlos talk about some Nintendo announcements (pre-"Year of Luigi" stuff; this was recorded before that), the awesome-looking upcoming 2D Zelda/Brave Fencer Musashi-esque game Cryamore, new systems from Microsoft/Sony/Valve, how Nintendo's Virtual Console is a fucking ripoff, how Halo 4's fucking QTE FINAL BOSS is a fucking QTE FINAL BOSS, and "exploiting" in games! 2 Fat, 2 Furious!

e028: kl;HJNPOG"IHNGW pkmn MISSINGNO -- Before anything else, be aware that there's currently a donation drive to get Skullgirls into EVO 2013 *TONIGHT* (January 31)! Support breast cancer research and support an awesome, deserving fighter! The donation page: http://bit.ly/11hqWxm. Also watch an awesome Skullgirls fundraising stream: http://bit.ly/SVlQDH. Don't delay; the donation cutoff is Midnight Pacific Time! That out of the way, we have a partial show with friends of the show about game difficulty (cut off prematurely due to Carlos' stupidity) and some more snippets/doodads. Enjoy!

e027: Predict! 2013 is a New Year Rising? -- Gadzooks! Dave and Carlos enter the new year swingin'! Will terrible forces conspire against their honorable purpose? Find out in Predict! 2013 is a New Year Rising?

e026: Somber Reality -- Dave and Carlos talk about violence and guns in games, media, and society in the wake of the terrible Newtown tragedy that occurred earlier this month. This is a (mostly) serious episode, and those who feel uncomfortable hearing us talking about this tragic incident are advised to listen to something else. Those who stay: we invite you to comment and discuss this with both us and those closest to you, as discussion is a crucial thing.

e025: "8.672 out of 12.394 Half-Stars!" - Some Dumb Reviewer -- An angry Carlos and a slightly less angry Dave talk about sad-ass game reviews. Lots of talk about PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale and dumb, dumb Smash Bros. fanboys -- and reviewers (see, tied it in there) -- dismissing a great game because it doesn't have enough "flair" or Mario isn't in it or some shit. Dave and Carlos talk about what makes for good reviews, with Dave making a case for video reviews over text as the new norm. They also talk at length about censorship in games. Thoughtful and angry stuff!
