We’re not dead yet! In this episode, we dig up the “facts” about Bloodborne that everyone else has been too busy staring at the loading screen to discover; tell you what our brains think about Ori and the Blind Forest, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and Deadbolt; report live from the red carpet (kinda) at the recent EGX Rezzed expo; and discuss the well-known bazooka obsession of late Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi (or “Yamowchi”, according to Mark). Plus: SPACE ARK.

What genre is Prime Trilogy, then? I’m stumped. 🙁
Nice theme for Space Ark, by the way, although you chaps need to nail your canon down. Luigi’s Mansion 2 just got put on a shelf for later, not hurled onto a corpse! And how can Yamauchi be in charge of the Ark, when he’s too busy being the moon’s face?
Also I am all the way up for Avian Attorney.

Great episode guys. Thanks for mentioning Confidential Mission, I should have explained my nomination even though it is as corny and derivative as you suggest. It’s effectively the Dreamcast’s version of Virtua Cop, and I recall buying it at the time as it was the only game to utilise the light-gun that wasn’t called House of the Dead 2. It’s very Sega, but a lot of fun.
My memories of the SNES Super Scope are quite odd, as my friend that had a SNES (I had a Mega Drive, natch) only had one controller. Therefore, when I would go to his house to play Street Fighter after school, I would be lumped with the Super Scope. Trying to pull off Hadoukens with a bazooka on your shoulder is something I’ll never forget.

We’re going to need some kind of Rotating Platform wiki to keep our stories straight.
Metroid Prime Trilogy will be back for the “games viewed through a visor” genre 🙂

Ah, we should do a whole segment on playing games using inappropriate controllers. Isn’t there a video somewhere of someone completing a Mario game using a dance mat?
