Summary: We talk a ton of topics, from Sonic's new look, to Nerd Block & Arcade Block, to GamerGate, zombies, overdone topics of gaming and in gaming, and more! Awesome music from Super Smash Bros. by Hirokazu Ando, Bioshock by Gary Schyman, and Astal from Tatsuyuki Maeda and Tatsuya Kousaki. Chiptune provided by the uber-awesome Josh Zimmerman - My Pet Cloud from the upcoming album of the same name. Check him out at http://joshzimmerman1.bandcamp.com - his new album drops mid-December! Thanks Josh! Super Smash Bros. (N64): Ending (Staff Roll); Composer Hirokazu Ando Fun fact: Super Smash Bros. started life as a title called Dragon King: The Fighting Game during its prototyping stage, and it featured no Nintendo characters. Bioshock: Through the Docks; Composer Gary Schyman Little Sisters, who are the gatherers of the game, originally were planned to be sea slugs. Because no one could really pity these creatures, another idea was drawn up of a Doberman in a wheelchair, and the idea of a frog with a funnel in its anus was concocted at about the same time. Astal: The Journey Begins; Composers Tatsuyuki Maeda and Tatsuya Kousaki 2D side-scroller with hand-drawn graphics. In Japan it’s known as Kisuishou Densetsu Astal (Shining Crystal Legend Astal). Released on Sega Saturn to positive reviews, but sold poorly. The reason for the poor sales may be because the spine of the case did not feature the game’s name, as most sales displays at the time had the case with the spine out. CHIPTUNE: My Pet Cloud by Josh Zimmerman Artist from Charlottesville, Virginia. Title track from the upcoming album “My Pet Cloud” - http://joshzimmerman1.bandcamp.com. Album set to release mid-December. Discussion Topics: Sonic’s new design Is 2014 a weak year in gaming?
