X-strike Podcast

[King wiL]

Rez, stop confusing everyone by referring to them as the number podcast you think it should be called and not to what it's called. That or actually point out and explain where they went out of sequence so they know to sort it out. I'm trying to figure out which ones I havent listened to yet while skipping the ones I was on and you're not making it any fucking easier you annoying person :p

[Ekkebus]

They should be sorted out now. Two of them got labeled as 68 but I did some renaming and they're all coming up corrected in the feed now.

Listening to the latest podcast. Rory, make sure you check your mail tomorrow (hint hint). I have Snatcher for emulation, and it seems very dated now. Metal Gear Mk II has a giant CRT, especially the Metal Gear companion in MGS IV looks a lot sleeker. I'd love to see that game in a MGS IV engine. Also, my fault? Fuck you guys! I didn't save over the ONLY save with the clear data!

[Ekkebus]

But you didn't stop us either!

I still remember making some sort of incoherent sound, then Rory paused, and then I thought he got the message. Then he went ahead with writing over the save. I guess I need to enunciate when trying to communicate "Dude, that's the clear data, don't copy over the ONLY save of you going up against Tyrant". I guess it was "Pre-mature?!" of me to think he got it.

Tim - in Xenoblade, my primary party was Melia (controlled), Dunban and Riki. Melia is a fucking powerhouse if you know how to use her and can topple any enemy in the game except bosses. With that party you kill things so fast healing isn't necessary and later on in the game all characters get weapons able to damage Mechon so you don't need Shulk in the party.

[Ekkebus]

Yeah, I've been keeping a pretty good rotation for the most part, outside of bosses. The only character I've been leaving on the bench a lot lately is Reyn because 1) he's one of your only options the first 10 hours of the game and 2) he's kind of boring. On the bright side when I DO need to bring him out, he's pretty much impossible to kill. I don't have those anti-Mechon weapons yet so Shulk remains my mainstay. Melia is awesome, and she's been in my party pretty steadily since I got her though she's not the best when it comes to chain attacks. I suppose if you're controlling her it's easier to time them to take advantage of her abilities for them. There are no useless characters though. It took me a while to get Dunban's agility up to the point where he dodges most attacks but now that he's there he's a killer. Riki I was unsure of at first but he has a lot of diversity in his Arts and a shitload of HP. Sharla has been my go-to healer for most of the game but I've started to work in more of her attack arts with some great results. Head Shot is probably the most powerful single attack in my arsenal now, and if I hit a good chain attack with her, Shulk and Dunban, nothing comes out the other end. I'm guessing due to the layouts of some of the menus that I still have one more character to recruit.

[Jakanden]

....I should probably make a Xenoblade thread...I am going to do that

[Ekkebus]

Yeah, that's probably some good thinking.


Hey Rez, it's the podcasts you're missing

Already dumped those two missing episodes into the collection here.

My personal picks from 1st Season would be..

#15 - A Tale of Soul and Storms - The infamous Lizardman and Yoshimitsu inside joke/"movie idea"
#30 - Klingon Disrespect - X-Strike's adventures in D&D 4th Edition
#62 - High Rezolution - Completely self-serving for me. I explain why the Ultima Series and Fallout are the greatest games of all time.
#94 - Wrestlegameamania - The origins of Gobbleskat are discussed
#99 - Earth, Wood, and Fire - Special Guest, Wood! Damn funny episode
#100 - The Final Countdown - Shit gets real, yo.

[Jakanden]

Rory - Babylon 5 is my personal favorite show of all time and you really should give it a chance. I watch it almost every year so I have seen the entire series a good 10 times or more

Also - DS9 is similar to Babylon 5 because J Michael Strazynski gave Paramount his script bible, character synopsis, plot points and so on. They decided not to fund Babylon 5 and instead created DS9 which just happened to be similar to all the information JMS gave them years before: http://www.jmsnews.com/msg.aspx?id=1-7864

Rory, James Rolfe did an AVGN episode with that VHS light gun haunted house game on it. I'll look into it for you when I get home and find out the name of it.
