Will Ben ever try playing an RPG game, like Final Fantasy, and like it?

Well Mac World and CES are going to happen soon you could model the next podcast after on of those.

Answer two questions for me. One, Why'd you skip over my question about the nPod? Two, what happened to the nPod?

And yes if you can spare the bandwidth, go with a vidcast. I'm sure you two have some funny antics we all miss only have the audio. Especially the "Search for Wiiiii!"

I second (or third, whatever

) the zombie topic.

I also propose the following:

1) Game translation; specifically, by the gaming community itself (read: Tales of Phantasia and/or Mother 3) and possibly its effect on game companies and their view of the community.

2) Homebrew software for the new generation of systems, like the DS, PSP, and PS3, what with its Linux capabilities.

3) Game music - best and worst; thought's on composition, etc. You could also include samples of the music in the podcast.

And I'm all onboard for a vidcast, that'd be awesome.

They already had one of those a while back.

OK I will see if Jones is game for the Zombie topic. I think he only reads these forums at work, so we probably won't hear from him til Monday

So that just leaves 1 more topic. Ideas?

-Ben

PS: A video podcast is an interesting idea, especially for the zombie thing, but there's a few drawbacks:

1) Even harder to do and edit
2) People complain when I have MP4 versions of the podcast already
3) Not enough time

Maybe you can have the MP4 podcast, & then upload it to YouTube or Google Video as an alternative or something...

YESSSSS!!!!!! Zombie podcast!!! You have to fight them off with your...Wii-mote! Wahahaha!

Anyway, Nintendo doesn't have a handheld monopoly, nearly everyone else just fails in the market all by their lonesom. Not Nintendo's fault. :/

Diamond Rio didn't fail in the MP3 market or get muscled out, Apple just clobbered them hardcore.

Best zombie video game maybe? Best zombie movie? Best zombie movie to video game adaptation? Heehee.

I wonder if there's a word for ya when you are always thinking, "What would I do at this very instant if zombies attacked."

I liked the first Evil Dead game. Hail to the King? Had the PC version...

I know it wasn't perfect... but if you were a fan of the movies, especially the first and second ones, the first game really delivered. It was like you were walking in the 1st and 2nd movies.

I ended up using the layout in that game and the 1st and 2nd movies to make a perfect rendition of the house and yard in The Sims back'n the day. Had a sim that used the Ash skin that I downloaded with chainsaw hand and everything, and set his mood to being angry at everything and really clumsy.

So he'd always spill his food when he cooked and stuff and then throw a tantrum.

Good stuff...

Ooh! How about:

Microsoft Windows Vista: Good, Bad, or just a shiny version of XP?

Or maybe something about Vista's impact on PC gaming... and PCs in general? You could talk about its insane system requirements and the way it DRMs the snot out of your music.
