Wonderpod Episode 68

Wonderpod has survived the E3 extravaganza show. Listening to us this week, one might even think we were actually at the show. Sadly, none of us are important enough for that. Still we struggle through and discuss the world of gaming. Call it the E3 hangover episode if you like

Survivornaut G has a question.

My buddy Fred (not his real name) has a question.

    Enjoyed this weeks episode, but was hoping Fred's question would create a complete angst riddled under-the-bus-throwing fight-tacular episode….

    I liked the Gunsage rant! Good job, and thought it was a somewhat valid criticism. We tend to be pretty heavy on the gaming here, and that's cool by me. Nonetheless, it's something that has become a wee bit excessive amongst all media (except here at Wonderpod-Online, because we rule… ha ha!).

    I am incredibly sad about the fate of Duke Nukem. I may still give this title a chance on the cheap, but certainly cannot justify full price. Borderline false advertising, actually.

    While Im convinced the Dukester may be all out of gum in this game, I still am not convinced that Duke Nukem is "as bad" as some are saying it is. I will be trying it out sometime in the future when it hits the discount pricing. Some criticisms are that it plays like an old PC game, well if people haven't figured it out yet, I really liked old classic PC games, so I might be in the minority that doesn't hate it. Either way its never going to be a great game. Now that they have the IP, and if they want, they can make a sequel that doesn't take 13 years to make and see how that goes ha! Our listeners question didn't stir up as much controversy as I thought either hahah.

    I've seen multiple vids and playthroughs and…yeah, it doesn't look that great, but something I'd pick up discounted? Yeah, probably.

    I will likely do the same… unless I forget, because I also do that sometimes. THACO? Actually, that dice-roll doesn't apply here. Meh… Still, gonna at try to remember to try the game.
