One of Swords Podcast 093: Cheesesteak Hat

by Dan on November 1, 2011

Wanna hear a Canadian swear — a lot? It’s my pleasure to welcome Radical Entertainment studio VP David Fracchia to the show, as he talks about Prototype 2 and runs the full Gauntlet of Swords — including the Atari 2600 Skiing challenge! But be warned: There is strong adult language in this episode, as I did not bleep Dave’s comments. Plus, Kat and Hugh and I discuss the crazy amount of games coming out this week (including the ones you had no idea existed), goofy shoes, NBA Jam, Robot Chicken, more PC chatter that will probably infuriate people, Dora the Explorer, and of course, Dan’s adventures in jury duty…as a Ghostbuster.

    I got called for jury duty a few years ago (and was really excited to participate), but I wouldn’t have received wages from my employer, so I was never called. The closest I’ve ever gotten was playing Juror Number 8 in a stage production of “12 Angry Men.”

    I just got around to responding to the forums for last week’s podcast. Sorry I was so late. If you’ve got anything to add, please just post it here. :)

    Dan, you weren’t an idiot for dressing up.  Halloween is the greatest holiday of the year!

    I agree with Dave, you want to experience a Canadian winter until you actually experience a Canadian winter. -44 in Saskatoon with a wind chill making it -54 is not fun, neither is any winter in Winnipeg.

    I can vouch for Winnipeg. Thompson’s no walk in the park either.

    I’m glad to hear you got to see the re-release of Ghostbusters. We saw it the other day and the print looked incredible.

    Thanks for the mention Dan!  Ummm,I have to disagree with you—how can an unannounced, store exclusive port of Shattered Dimensions accurately represent the demographic?  It’s tough to swallow that we may not see the new Transformers WfC sequel, if those sales numbers didn’t come in—that was an amazing game and an excellent port, I’d hate to miss out on some more Transformers action.  
    Here’s my full thoughts, if you’re interested :

    Thanks again!  Keep up the good work!

    Thanks for the read Chris & Dan.  You both made some good points, but to be honest, it  seems like I have to go through too much non-sense & excuses to play COD on the PC. I’m just tired of it and because of this I’m not going to get the game.  I know my one sale will not make a difference and the game will sell very well, but it’s too trouble to deal with while there are other great games out there to play.

    And Hugh, I loved ya, but sometimes I want to hit you (joking).  You make it sound like PC gaming is dead and we all know it’s not.  Please stop comparing it to the Dreamcast.  We all knew when the Dreamcast was being discontinue because SEGA made an announcement about it and we all accept it.  Nobody ever said that PC gaming is being discontinue.

    Dan – it could be my PC, but I can’t locate your podcast on Zune Marketplace. I recently ditched the ole 3gs iphone for a windows phone and honestly am too lazy to launch multiple software (zune and itunes). Is the link above broken or am I nuts? I’m sure I may be 1 of 10 people who use zune  :D
