Episode 12. Ruining the gaming experience (Part I).
January 30th, 2009
It’s the first in a three-part series. What a treat for you!
- (1:05) Introducing our guest of the show - Davis! I say his name a lot… did I mention his name was Davis?
- (2:10) With so many types of games and gamers out there, is there enough room for us all? Some think “casual gamers” ruin games for the hardcore.
- (5:05) Hardcore gaming would be awesome! If it weren’t for actually living life….
- (7:02) Button mashers, cheapness, doing the same technique over-and-over… is it a ruin, a developed skill, or a guilty pleasure?
- (9:40) Annoying: having to buy multiple systems so that you can play online with your 360 friends, your PS3 friends, and your Wii friends. It is essentially the same game (especially 360/PS3 ports) and yet there’s no cross-console compatibility. If anyone knows that pain, it’s Davis (who owns 19 consoles)!
- (13:45) Technology itself has ruined the gaming experience.
- (21:00) Things that ruin the sports experience.
