Wonderpod is finally winding to the end of the road. Three hundred episodes and thousands of memories. We cover many of those moments and made one or two new ones. To each and every person who reads this post now or in the future. We want to thank all of you very much for listening […]
Time for the second to last Wonderpod. A two man show recorded on a Friday night. On this of all days, it was a perfect end to the week. We wander all over the place this week. For the last show we will be live on Twitch. We will give you more details this weekend. […]
Wonderpod is winding down. Jon is back this week. We got some great topics for you guys. On one or two, we come at them from a new angle. Important note we will be recording on Friday of next week. Enjoy the show and have a great weekend!
Wonderpod is like a train. Right on schedule and mowing down cows. This week was a different type of show. We had two first time guests and one guest appearing for the third time. If that isn’t confusing enough they are all from Wales. If your still confused, you need to listen to some of […]
Get ready for a new Wonderpod. This week we talk a lot about FPS gaming. Kind of digging these episodes. Where one topic branches in to multiple discussions. we did delve into a few other things I suppose. Still all revolving around the FPS genre. It will make more sense when you listen. Give me […]

I would love to tell you the morning of my first hunt dawned bright and clear. That is how all supposed epic events started in books. Nothing could have been further from the truth in my case. I awoke to clouds and light rain as I made my way to Ephraim’s house on the far side of the village. He was ready to go with horses hitched to a cart. I climbed aboard and off through the village we went.

February 19th, 2014 Bruce McGee Time for another random MMO video. Dragons Prophet from SOE is a free to play game. Like Star Wars it took me a couple runs to get interested in the game. Oh who am I kidding, any game that lets you ride a dragon in the first twenty minutes is awesome. Seriously, no waiting to level whatever for a mount you can capture one at like level 5. Then keep capturing them as you go. Anyway the video shows a taste of combat and me dork flying around.
February 18th, 2014 Bruce McGee I finally feel comfortable with talking about my time in The Elder Scrolls Online beta. The fact that the NDA recently got dropped is one reason. The second and most important reason is I was able to get my own thought’s in order. As ESO really provoked a different kind of response from me than an MMO normally would.

February 17th, 2014 Bruce McGee This weekend I spent a decent amount of time playing two different MMO’s. One was Star Wars The Old Republic and the other was Dragons Prophet. This video comes from SWTOR and gives you a brief look at combat and mission running. I even through in a little of the cut scene stuff from when I was wrapping up missions. I was not to hot on SWTOR during beta or the first time I played it after launch. This time around playing as a smuggler/gunslinger I am having a lot of fun. So expect a couple more videos as I run through the game.
February 17th, 2014 Bruce McGee On Friday here in North America the new installment of Donkey Kong Country will be released. The game is set to launch on the Wii U and I have to say it looks great. What appealed to me even more was the music. Which is interesting given how little I normally pay attention to game music. Giving the trailer a look is worth it for the music alone. I know we got a few Wii U owners in the crew. Any of you planning on picking up Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze? Man that name is long.
February 16th, 2014 PatMan I have had a little more time with the Titanfall Beta and I am enjoying it even more than last night. I played a different game type today and it will probably become my favorite. It is based on the classic Battlefield game type of taking positions and defending them. The more positions you have, the better off your team will be. Of course, there is plenty of death match like action to be had as well along with the bit of strategy. The best way to describe Titanfall for those who have not played it is a follows. If you are in a Titan, the game plays like a very fast paced, modern version, cross between Terra Nova and Mechwarrior. If you are playing on foot, the game feels like a much more smooth combination of COD, Crysis and a little dash of Halo. Maybe it is me, but the hit detection on foot is very impressive and accurate, while in the Titans it is less so. But then again, this is a beta not a final product. Even though Titanfall should have a single player mode and does not, after playing the beta I am pretty certian that I will be spending my Valentines day gift card of MS points ( or is it MS money now?) on downloading Titanfall on March 11th. Respawn is lucky that they came out of the gate first with this New Gen shooter. They will, probably, get away with not having a single player story mode. If Gears Of War or Halo 5 were already out, with more content for new gen gamers to digest, I don’t think they would have the same sales they will have in March. New Gen gamers are “starved” for a shooter and Titanfall is a very good one, even without a single player mode. Check out my video of day 2 playing the beta below.

February 15th, 2014 PatMan When I got my hands on a code for the Titanfall Beta this morning I was eager to give this hyped up shooter a shot . Of course, family weekend activities took precedence over a video game beta and I had to wait until tonight to dive in. Or should I say “fall” in? Silly pun aside, what do I think of Titanfall? Well I do like it. It is fun. It is very fast and very smooth . The hit detection is very good and there’s a lot going on both horizontally and vertically on the battlefield. It is not the next big step for shooters, but it does combine many great elements of previous online shooters very well. I enjoyed playing both as a Titan pilot and also as a foot soldier. And, they do play differently. Early in I am currently much better on foot than controlling a mech. I recorded some random footage of the beta as I played, so check it out below. It’s too early to give any major impressions and, of course it’s only a beta, so its a work in progress. But with the quality of game play and the lack of new games on next gen systems, I am thinking long and hard about getting Titanfall when it launches.

Today the Maria’s expedition returned to the village. Outside of gathering supplies they brought news as well. It appears that several smaller settlements have been destroyed. All of them fairly close to Arcana. Interestingly the man who brought me here returned with the rest. I was finally able to thank him for saving me that day. He owned a settlement named Mountain Shadow and I was welcome there anytime. He followed Maria and they seemed nervous about something. I went straight to Ephraim’s house to discuss the work he had for me.
