NPCast 06 - Coming Soon to a Home Theater Near You
At long last, I return! My PC is, somehow, back in working order and I get back to talking about stuff you have all probably talked to death: some noteworthy titles due out in the months and years to come. Observe! Or, listen actually. Continue reading ‘NPCast 06 - Coming Soon to a Home Theater Near You’ »
NPCast 05 - Roundtable Introduction
Evening all. Now that our staff has grown a bit, we thought it might be fun to have a roundtable discussion every now and then. This one isn’t entirely serious; instead, it’s more of a way to get to know us other folks who will be chiming in during future weeks since you already know Karlinn. Maybe not so much me since I’m about as talkative as your typical silent RPG protagonist, but the other guys at least. As such, this isn’t quite our final format for them, but it’ll probably at least give you a decent enough idea of what’s to come. I hope you enjoy it, and feedback is appreciated as always.
Ah yes, I should also note that these will absolutely not be replacing Karlinn’s solo podcasts.

NPCast 04 - Then What Will You Doooooooo? o/~
Hello hello, folks. Back again with another NPCast, and this time we’re talking about something near and dear to the hearts of millions. Just a few feet away in the back of the car they’re driving, actually. How can this magical mystery burn-liquid have an impact on escapist male power fantasies and puzzle-oriented dating sims involving catgirls? Mankind may never know. Not that this stops me from opining on the subject, of course.

NPCast 03 - On the Topic of Writing
Note to self: The unofficial Tales of Symphonia drinking game you read about on the internets is not to be played by the faint of stomach. Taking a shot every time somebody has an aside and then says “…oh, nothing,” when somebody asks them about it basically means you might as well just start drinking as soon as you start the game. Believe me, it’ll catch up.
In any case, the title sums up this cast’s content; ‘the Topic of’ added to respectfully differentiate this from the surprisingly good On Writing by Stephen King. Yes, that Stephen King. Also, the Metal Wolf Chaos plug can adequately be explained by watching this documentary of the American electoral process.

NPCast 02 - THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO (Mass Effect)
So in between beating up insane hobos in Condemned 2 and watching countless variants of Caramelldansen, I managed to finish up Mass Effect. I felt inspired (read: contractually obligated) to give my two cents in parallel to Cortney’s review of same. After attempting feebly to review the whole thing in a faux-foppish English gentleman’s voice, I gave up and went off into some tangent on how games should and should not start. Mass Effect provides an interesting case study of the latter. Observe!

NPCast 01 - And We’re Off!
And so it begins, our first genuine foray into podcasting. Just a short piece on what we’re doing here out on the cold, cruel internets, and sorta-true observations of the media which are dedicated to covering our pasttime. Sit back, relax, and try to imagine how people ever got old DOS games working. Seriously, it will boggle the mind, even the minds of people who lived through that era.

NPCast Test Launch
Good news, our loyal readers! Due to popular request, and because it sounded like a good idea at the time, we are going live with podcasts. Now you won’t just see us, you’ll hear us, too! Well… okay, you couldn’t see us before. At least, I hope you couldn’t, because that would be very off-putting. Ahem. Anyway, we’re just testing the system for uploading these things, we’ll have a meatier introduction piece soon. In the meantime, sit back, relax, and try not to think about more productive things you could be doing than listening to me telling you to buy Deus Ex.
Like, for instance, buying Deus Ex ^^b
