I really like it when games have a setting inside an arcade or pinball machine. Can't get enough of that. Sonic does that a lot with pinball casino stages. Then there's Waluigi Pinball from Mario Kart. And of course the PSOne Namco Museums. I normally don't play those Yakuza games, but one time when one of my brothers was showing me one, he let me play the part where you're in an arcade and all I did was play Space Harrier and Fantasy Zone and talked to the arcade lady. So yeah, more arcades in video games please, I love 'em!
Nerds Without Pants Episode 273: Halloween Havoc: Deadly Alliance
But really, how did it happen?!
And lo, a Deadly Alliance formed in the background of Nerds Without Pants. Could Julian withstand a dual assault from Rob Ottone and Mike Fallek? Tune in to find out! It’s not quite a Halloween Havoc, but it’s certainly scary!
We recorded this at an odd time, so Justin couldn’t make it, and the discussion is shorter than usual, but it’s still pretty fun, probably. Julian has one burning question: how did Rob and Mike end up getting together? Does he get that answer? You decide! We talk a little about Rob’s writing, Poultrygeist, and…an oddly large amount of time spent on the work of Hideo Kojima.
I dunno…it’s an episode.
