A buddy of mine has been shoving these games down my throat... best to hear all the info straight from the horses mouth! :P
Thanks much Steve!
Is that Gaming Steve's picture? He looks...older than what I imagined.
Posted by Minr at November 15, 2005 01:11 AMHeh, no, that's a picture of Jack Emmert.
Posted by Gaming Steve at November 15, 2005 01:29 AMGreat podcast, though I wish you had used the 3 hour version.
Posted by Kagan at November 15, 2005 04:05 AMWow, great interview! What the heck is that "Incarnates" class that Jack was talking about? Is that some super-powerful class you can get after you get to level 50? And those Thugs sound cool.
Thanks!
Posted by Daveo at November 15, 2005 01:21 PMCould you put a halbert in CoH it would be a perfect weapon
Posted by Nick at November 15, 2005 05:38 PMCan't wait for the next show's news segment...so I can hear Steve say "interesting" 564 times

Was that a halibut that prior poster wanted in CoH or a halberd? I'd rather have the fish. /e fishsmack But then again, I can chop down a tree with...A HERRING! Ni'!
On the issue of Civilization IV and it's lack of "downs". I think that since they streamlined this for online, multiplayer gaming, they needed to get rid of things that required micromanagement. And going around with your workers removing pollution was micromanagement that gave you absolutely nothing in return.
Posted by Hans at November 16, 2005 09:56 AMI haven't been able to listen yet, and probably won't be able to for a few days... A question: Did Jack Emmert mention any plans re: Cryptic and the next-generation consoles? Hmm?
Posted by Nodicus at November 16, 2005 04:50 PMLegend of Zelda "Arcada of Time"?
I'm no video game expert...but I have never heard of this game.
Steve mentions this about 62 minutes into episode 26. I can only guess that he is talking about Ocarina of Time, but i'm not sure if this is another zelda title or not.
If anyone else knows....uhhh....let me know.
Thanks.
Posted by Mr. Shaker at November 16, 2005 05:58 PMHeh, I might have mispronounced that one, but I was talking about the Ocarina of Time. I actually should have said Majora's Mask as that was what I was really trying to mention in that answer, but I think you guys got the gist of what I was talking about.
