Tonight on GeekNights we bring you our first ever XBox 360 game review, Castle Crashers. In the news, Epic Mickey is coming, the GameBoy Color boot ROM was finally hacked, and gamers are more aggressive to strangers.
Scott's Thing - Kashiwa Mystery Cafe
Rym's Thing - Guns of Icarus -
Icarus, baby, fuck yeah. I am so looking forward to the release of this game. It is the most eagerly awaited release for me this season. Look at those pirates! Look at that Gatling gun! Hardcore! I wonder who could make such a fucking epic game...I want to be their friend. They must be the coolest person ever.

You have the right to brag and spread your ego-strokes all over the place as you are awesome enough to do so because of this amazing game you helped make. I so cannot wait for this!!! But I have to wait a damn week! -
It looks like Rym and Scott are absolutely unfamiliar with the Newgrounds mythos as it derives heavily from it and it's not surprising at all the things that this game has as it's very much like what Tom Fulp would do.
-
The game you were talking about was Mickey Mousecapades! I beat that game plenty of times as a kid.
-
If you like the style of Castle Crashers, the guy who made it (or at least is responsible for the visual style) has done a lot of other really awesome stuff. I used to watch his animations and play his little flash games all the time years ago -- check it out. They also made a game called Alien Hominid which is available on the 360. It's basically Contra or Metal Slug to Castle Crashers' River City Ransom.

I was unaware that Newgrounds had a "mythos" beyond just hosting lots and lots of crappy flash stuff, with a few good ones here and there. -

AFAIK that's pretty much exactly the case, at least for as long as I can remember. -

Yeah. Newgrounds was the place to see terrible flash animations and broken, tasteless games for much of the later '90s. It was low brow even for its time. -
Scott,
Would you like me to make you some custom cross-stitch key chains made for all your keys? I can easily foresee an easy Oscar The Grouch pattern in my head. ^_~ -
For anyone who would like an early chance to actually *play* Guns of Icarus, and is in the New York area, our monthly Muse game night is tonight!

They're usually pretty fun, and involve both pizza and beer. As exhausted as I am, I may possibly show up. ^_~ -
Please, darling! I would love for you to!

I almost forgot, check out Batman: Arkham Asylum too. Bloody awesome game.
I was also wondering, how do you find Live as a service to use overall? -

Amazingly cute. -

Yeah, I'm not interested in any of those.

The Mickey Mouse game Rym was talking about is Disney's Magical Quest. That game series was fantastic.

So what are you interested in? Surely you didn't spend $250+ on a console just to play castle crashers. -

Nope. It's actually Mickey Mousecapades. -

Oh. Darn. I remember those other games. You got different outfits in different levels. I don't think I played Mickey Mousecapades... -
Posted By: AprecheYeah, I'm not interested in any of those.
Really? Not even Marvel VS Capcom 2? Colour me surprised. -
Posted By: Li_AkahiReally? Not even Marvel VS Capcom 2? Colour me surprised.
It's an old game that I've already played to death. Also straight up fighting games don't have that much appeal for me. I mean, I like them, but I can't actually be good at them or invest a lot of time in them. -
I know you have already played Lego Star Wars on the Wii, but you could check out Lego Batman for either Wii or Xbox. I first only watched Jeremy play Lego Star Wars, but now I do co-op for Lego Batman, and it's pretty fun.

Yeah, Lego Star Wars for Wii was a big disappointment in the long-run. It was humorous and entertaining, but after a day or few it lost all of its shine. All you do is walk around and hit things. Just another Gauntlet clone. -
You still didn't answer the question though Scott. What are you interested in and what kinda games would you like to play? You've got to take a chance every now and then. I would say Mass Effect is a really good one to own.

Yeah, Lego Batman is the same. I just enjoy the free play mode and using the different characters for their certain abilities. You can mind control people with The Riddler, use Joker's hand shocker to start up electrical items, and Robin has a specific suit with magnetic shoes. I also like how you can be a tiny penguin robot with a gun. That's hilarious. -

Why do I have to take a chance? I already have more video games than I have time to play. Games cost money, and I need my money to pay for moving right now. I haven't even paid for an XBox Live Gold account because there aren't any games I want to play online.
Between L4D2, NS2, Shadow Complex, Mario+Luigi, Spirit Tracks, and free PC games, there is no need for me to buy anything else in the near future. -

So did you buy a 360 just to play castle crashers and shadow complex? -

Once you get an HDTV, it might be worth it for the Netflix Streaming, however I'm not sure if it's you or Rym that owns the boxee or whatever.
I know you probably don't want to buy it because you own the actual board game, but Carcassonne and Settlers are fun to play online. -

If that's true....wow....just wow. What will you do with your 360 then Scott?Posted By: AprecheWhy do I have to take a chance? I already have more video games than I have time to play.

Probably the same thing they do with their Wii, hope for a good game, buy it, be disappointed, return to PC gaming and then repeat.Posted By: gedavids

I would think Scott would go for this since he likes RE so much. -

$200 for an Elite 360 is a great deal. If I didn't have a 360 already, I probably would have bought one. He just bought the 360, so it's not like he's had a lot of time to actually spend time on checking out the many games for it.
Moving money > video game money. That's pretty much the same boat I'm in. I really want to pick up the new Mario & Luigi RPG, but it will have to wait.
I am looking forward to the 360 Dashboard integrating Twitter and Facebook.
I honestly use the 360 for Netflix. I can't get enough of the instant streaming. I only wish they had more awesome stuff instead of a lot of the random weird titles I've never heard of. They recently had Penn & Teller's BS Season 6 on streaming, but not the other seasons. I would add them to my queue, but it will probably stay there for a long time. If it isn't available streaming, I probably won't bother as much, unless I really want to see it.Posted By: MrRobotoProbably the same thing they do with their Wii, hope for a good game, buy it, be disappointed, return to PC gaming and then repeat.
That is more than likely, but I also recommend Bomberman, even though I'm sure Scott has it for the Wii. -
What was that other game you guys were talking about during the podcast? That had amazing replayability? NS?
-
I'm sure you've already played the original Rez, but you might want to get Rez HD anyway because it's, you know, HD.
-
wow dudes, you spent the first 7 minutes talking about door keys and rental antics? Really. Call Fox Snooze, because this is super-mega-exciting talk radio. But I guess I'm the idiot for listening to it. Boot to the head.
I think your show needs some commercials, or better yet, fake comedy commercials. I can only take so much stream-of-consciousness brain spewing for so long before I need something to reset my synapses.
posted after listening 21:43 minutes of the show; and because adult swim was all repeats tonight. Peace.

Would you opt to listen to Geeknights if it only aired at a certain time of day, rather than listen whenever you wanted? This is the issue at hand, here.Posted By: Field Marshal AndrewDon't you have icecasts or something to go to? Man, those have really gained in popularity recently...

So, how's your media empire doing two years later, davek? Finally graduated from 9 listeners to 10? -

I'll have to read more of it at a later date. My opinions may be subject to change if I read the entire thread, but I still feel the need to listen to Radio PSI because it is worth my time that much to listen on those specified days and it is that good to keep doing so, in my opinion.Posted By: Lordyupa
