Posted by Mikael Jonsson at March 14, 2006 10:27 AMIf I have time to listen to only one gaming podcast on any given week, it's Steve's.
Happy 1st Anniversary, Gaming Steve!
Posted by Mike at March 14, 2006 11:16 AMHey Steve,
Long time listener, first comment though.
Great podcast as usual. But I have to say when talking about Edmonton you make it sound like it’s in the Yukon or the NWT. I live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan a city east of Edmonton but not that much further south. The sun does not set at 2 in the winter. The earliest the sun sets is around 5:30ish... and yeah it can get cold but it’s not that bad. And actually up here we have been having the warmest winter of history.
Anyways great podcast, love the quicker review. Keep up the great show!
Posted by Dan at March 14, 2006 12:55 PMI'm not even half through yet, but I wanted to comment about this before I forget it:
About forbidding people to sell M-rated games to minors - we have that here in Germany. You can't sell a game which is rated 12+ to a child who is 11. Until recently I had to ask my father to buy all the 18+ games for me (Doom 3 was the last one). They do the same for movies and everything. And you know what? It makes sense. If they don't enforce it in the US they are stupid. Why have ratings if you don't enforce them? Self Control? It doesn't work because a lot of parents don't care what their children get. (I would say almost 25% - if it's more it would be sad)
It would also protect the gaming industry against politicians. They can't argue against it because it can't harm the children.
Posted by Sagan at March 14, 2006 1:36 PMHey Steve, happy anniversary! For some reason, the last 20 minutes or so were cut off!
Posted by Daan at March 14, 2006 2:00 PMNo Morrowind Preview part 3??????
Posted by TagsxA at March 14, 2006 4:00 PMSo if I wear your tee-shirt and you see me you'll give me a free gift? As opposed to what, a gift I have to pay for?
Also I assume the circuit you speak of are probably OC-12's or OC-48's. Which give or take a few bits, are 12 T3's and 48 T3's respectively.
WOW NICE STEVE! I enjoyed listening to the podcasts about Spore but now I think it's time for me to hear EVERYTHING!! Good work and happy 1 year anniversary! =-D
Posted by Greg16 at March 14, 2006 5:40 PMI think rating should exist, but should not prevent free purchase of video games. The ratings serve the purpose of giving you an idea of what to expect from a game. This way parents know that the elmo game they are buying for their kids does not have blood and gore. If someone is old enough to get themselves to a store, find the game they want, and buy it with their money then they understand the content of the game and the game isn't going to be in the hands of an undermature person. The job of the government is to protect constitutional rights, and it is up to the parent know what their child is doing to effect their well-being, and only the parent can decide if they are going to allow it. If the government wants to promote a particular interest of Americans they can, but they shouldn't enforce any interest with legislation
Posted by Jeff at March 14, 2006 7:36 PMHahaha. Loved the bit about West Edmonton Mall and Canada. I live near Edmonton.
Posted by Hunter Weishaar (Darkel) at March 15, 2006 12:02 AMRogue/Diablo Clones not mentioned:
Dark Stone (PC/PSOne) Very much like Diablo. The interesting thing about the game is that your character grows old and dies! Randomly and rarely, a very expensive anti-aging potion can be purchased to extend the character's play.
Nightmare of Druaga: A much hated game in the USA, but a turn-based somewhat random dungeon romp. It can be very strategic. Items are random, but you can "break into" the expert dungeons instead of going to the next one. The secret chests and Japanese style "perfect the level" aspects harkened back to the original arcade game. I love it, but how did it do in Japan?
Posted by Robb at March 15, 2006 12:58 PMI forgot the biggest game successor to rogue: Net Hack. It's pretty close to identical.
And one more that you've mentioned before: Deadly Rooms of Death (DROD).
Both of these are easily and legally downloaded, though DROD is a demo.
Posted by Robb at March 15, 2006 1:10 PMHey, I've had my question aired and answered on Steves podcast.
Now I just need to nail one of the original cast of Charlies Angels and all my lifes ambitions will be complete.
( another great show Steve, thanks)

Posted by Cruithne at March 15, 2006 2:43 PMBelieve me, you would NOT want to nail Farrah Fawcett right now...
Kate Jackson, that's another story...
