Midnight Resistance

WORDS about GAMES.Sorry it's late. I had a night set aside for editing this over a week ago, then Andi forgot to send me his audio on time, then there was a flower show that fucked everything up.That's not a joke. This podcast was literally delayed by the occurrence of a flower show.Since it's been ages, we've forgotten entirely what we talked about. The one thing I can tell you is that there's no guest this week, because we wanted to see if we were shit on our own. LET US KNOW HOW THAT GOES.I think I also forgot to tag info on the files.GMA NOMINATED. 

Hello! This episode features Sean McTiernan and contains mentions of the following:- the IRA- that Hotline Miami 2 trailer- the phrase 'people of colour'- videogamesENJOYYYYY. 

HEYA sorry this one's a bit late. Although, for once, it's not entirely my fault. Listen to the start of the episode for the full explanation.This episode, we're joined by Solid Craig and J-Banger of BitSocket fame. We've been meaning to get them on for ages, but they're always working or fucking off to New York or something. We think they were worth the wait though, and we hope that you agree or else this whole thing has been a terrible waste of time.I spent so long editing this that I can't even remember what games we talked about, although there is definitely a bit about Project X Zone on the 3DS, and Andi slags off BioShock Infinite like some smug backlashing prick.OH, and because some of you have been regularly complaining about it since we first started the show, all episodes from now on will be available in MP3 format like a fucking normal podcast. YEAH!!

THIS EPISODE IS ALMOST ENTIRELY ABOUT MONSTER HUNTER 3 ULTIMATE. If you've got absolutely no interest in it, maybe give this episode a miss.Or, don't! Because it might get you interested in Monster Hunter, and we got the brilliant Krystian Majewski ofTeamworkCast to help us out.I have literally nothing else to say about this episode because it is literally two hours of Monster Hunter stuff.CHEERS!

oh my god video gamesThis week we are joined by the powerful Cara Ellison who I won't say anything more about because her mum might read this.GAMES DISCUSSED:- SimCity- DotA 2- Dark Souls- DmC- Happy Wars- Super Jumping Finn- Spaceteam Then, questions!This episode sounds a bit worse because we had to just record the Skype call instead of doing it properly. WHATEVER 

It is. IT IS.Owen's here, guys! It's not often he returns from space to talk to us, so enjoy it while it lasts.Anyway, yeah, this was going to be our Christmas show, but it suffered some SCHEDULING ERRORS and now here it is, on the 16th of January. So it's still Christmas, right? I've still got a pack of Spekulatius in the cupboard and everything.GAMES DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE OF THE SHOW:- oh man I actually can't even remember and I only edited this yesterday- Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker- and MORE!Enjoy the episode, and we'll see you again when the sun finally comes out and we stop thinking about death for five minutes.

This is our actual #DCember podcast episode where we talk about pretty much nothing but the Dreamcast, and to help us do that we got some help from the wildly brilliant Zoya Street. It seemed like the right thing to do, since she is currently in the process of writing a book about the Dreamcast which you should probably check out.The questions you lot sent in were largely brilliant, so we decided to just dive straight in with them. The alternative was having some ideas of our own of what to do or say on the show, and that doesn't happen.BORING TECHNICAL NOTE: Rather than our usual recording technique, we just recorded the Skype conversation this time. This means it sounds a bit worse, it's in mono, and it's a little garbled in places. Soz m8.Next up: CHRISTMAS STUFF HOPEFULLY

SHUCKS HOWDY, it's not often we get a brand new console to talk about, so it's really no surprise that we've managed to fill an entire podcast episode with stuff just about said new console.The Wii U is a thing that exists now, and we've taken it upon ourselves to tell you what we think about it for two excruciating hours that you are GUARANTEED to never ever get back! The good news is that there is a bit at the end about us sticking consoles up our arses. Your reward for making it through the show's actual content.Given the subject matter, it seemed entirely fitting to get UK games journo hero and Nintendo aficionado Chris Schillingon the show. If his name doesn't ring any bells, we can still pretty much guarantee that you've read and enjoyed his work somewhere before.Aside from the console itself, we discuss THESE games:- ZombiU- fuckin' Nintendoland- Chasing Aurora- Nano Assault- Tank! Tank! Tank!- the new Sonic racing game I can never remember the proper name of- New Super Mario Bros. UThen we a

THAT'S RIGHT BABY, you asked us nicely so we got fan-favourite Sean McTiernan back to talk about videogames even though he barely plays them. At one point he threatens to call an embassy. It's a good episode.There's a long spoiler-filled conversation about Hotline Miami, so consider avoiding that if you've not yet played the game. If you've not yet played Hotline Miami, consider doing so. It's amazing.Other games are discussed but they are LESS IMPORTANT.Then it is questions time. There's a bit where I talk at length about why you don't see female versions of half the races in Mass Effect that I meant to cut out because it's boring as shit, but I forgot. Sorry.

THIS EPISODE we are joined by Dan Maher a.k.a. MrPointyHead, who is most famous for beating my score on Punch Quest like some kind of stupid jerk.We talk about THESE GAMES:- Punch Quest- Assassin's Creed 3- Some other stuff possibly I can't rememberThen we do questions. Due to a ludicrous technical hitch, some stuff is missing off the end. Sorry. We'll make up for it by making the next episode even longer than usual. Haahahahahaha!

Aye. AYE.Limited synopsis for this one, as Andi decided to take a good week or so before sending his audio over, so the edit was a brief one. We are joined by childhood friend and OXM staff writer Matt Lees and he is PRETTY GOOD. He didn't even complain about your stupid fucking questions!Man, I can't even remember what games we talk about on this one. Borderlands 2, I think, and XCOM. And... others.ENJOY.OR DON'T

HELLO this week myself and Andi are joined by long-time listener, first-time caller 'Crazy' Eddie Johnston. We talk about GAMES. Specifically THESE GAMES:- Borderlands 2- Liberation Maiden- Metal Gear SolidAnd maybe other stuff. Then it is questions time!We haven't forgotten about the Formula 1 competition, by the way. We just... just give us a minute, okay? Okay?Thanks.

I HAVE BARELY LISTENED TO THIS BECAUSE I'M EDITING IT WHILE I'M MEANT TO BE GETTING READY FOR EUROGAMER EXPO.PETE BARKER IS ON ITWE TALK ABOUT GAMES ON THIS ONE.COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE PODCAST'S FILE FORMATS HAVE BEEN NOTED AND WE HOPE TO BE UPLOADING MP3S IN THE NEAR FUTURE.I LOVE YOU GOODBYE

PODCAST.Sorry it's been a while. We attempt to make this up to you by doing over two hours of listener questions. Everyone says that's the best bit anyway, so shut up.Sean McTiernan has the dubious honour of being the first guest to come on the show twice. We are glad this has happened and hope you are too. I honestly can't remember most of this episode, but there is definitely a good bit about Valve's $100 Greenlight submission controversy, and a bit about Ian Dickson's romantic endeavours that we had to remove.Hopefully we'll be back to semi-regular shows again now, so please don't forget that we exist. PLEASE.

If you like murderous animals or grown men talking about beating up kids, you were custom-built to enjoy this episode.We are joined this week by the God of Games himself, Robert Florence. If you're not aware of his work, find Consolevania on iTunes and come back when you've watched the whole lot and we can be friends again.We talk about RECENT GAMES like Grim Fandango, Just Cause 2, Skyrim (ANDI) and Tribes: Ascend. That last one is actually kind of recent, so I put it at the end so as not to ruin the joke immediately.Then we answer questions. They were good questions. Our answers, less so.While we're here: huge thanks to those of you who wanted us to get nominated for a GMA this year. Knowing that you lot wanted us to win something and bothered to tell us so carries more weight than any award. ALTHOUGH IT WOULD'VE BEEN NICE TO GET SHORTLISTED SO MAYBE TRY HARDER WITH THE LOBBYING NEXT YEAR YEAH.No but really, thanks. Means a lot.CHEERIO.

Andi sounds like crap this week IT IS HIS FAULT NOT MY FAULT. Sounds like he's recorded using his laptop's built-in mic, and not the headset he was actually talking to us with. He is a genius.The good news is that while we didn't get the SPECIAL GUEST we had planned, we are instead joined by Jon Brady ofBigRedBarrel fame, which is something we had secretly been wanting to do anyway.SO we talk about the rubbish we've bought in the latest Steam sale, and then we answer questions. At some point, I reveal how to beat both alcoholism and the internet.It is a good show. 

Do you derive pleasure from the heartbreaking severity of Andi's inability to read? I DO.No guest this week. It only seemed fair, because we knew we were just going to talk about Phantasy Star Online 2 for ages. We should have someone relatively special for episode ten, though. Someone RELATIVELY SPECIAL INDEED.So there's a load of PSO2 chat, then some Day Z stuff, then the results of our breathtaking DiRT: Showdown competition, then listener questions. It all takes about two hours and is only mildly painful.

OH MY GOSH E3 HAPPENED AND IT WAS A BIT POOWell, it was if you were sat at home watching the conferences instead of actually being there and playing games and that. But that doesn't stop us sharing our half-baked opinions with YOU.Andi and Sean are joined by Sean Bamberger this week. He does PR for Sega, but he is only marginally evil.ALSO there is a competition in this episode to win a copy of DiRT Showdown for the Xbox 360 as well as a t-shirt or something. Listen to the episode to find out how that works. We'll probably also be banging on about it on our Twitter account so pay bloody attention.CHEERS.

Do you enjoy things that don't exist? Then you'll love the first half of this podcast!!!I'd explain here, but it's probably easier if you just listen to it. The good news is we spend an hour or so answering your questions, in the company of the delightful Mark Paterson.Next week, a load of E3-related sobbing, most likely.Cheers!
