TalkRadar 69 – time attack!

We've got exactly 69 minutes to cover 10 topics before the stopwatch reaches zero and the whole west coast explodes

Words: Brett Elston, GamesRadar US

 


Your Hosts:

 


The Topics:

Top 7… oddest Japanese videogame heroes – does it count as racist if they’re making fun of themselves?


Modern Warfare 2 hands-on – Tyler and Lizzie played it for hours. Want to hear about it?


Ballad of Gay Tony hands-on – four editors discuss the ups and downs of GTA returning to San Andreas-levels of silliness.


Scribblenauts reviewed – why give us all these choices when a jetpack solves everything?


Ask a games journalist! – new segment where we answer your questions about the games industry, from exclusives to events to inner workings

Question of the Week – What’s the first game you drove to buy yourself?


Contest winners this week:

Sick Puppies Street Fighter IV Contest – The Winners!

Dammit, you guys keep getting better and more creative with your contest entries, and it’s making them really hard to judge. As usual, we judged the entries on creativity and effort more than artistic ability, and came to the conclusion that (drumroll) lymanzaar and 5DollarFootlong are our winners! Congratulations guys! We also especially loved the entries from SausageLozenge, Bobbety, and AlpineGuy – well done, guys…we wish everyone could have won. You can see all of the entries in the forum thread. Check out lymanzaar’s winning animation below:

Winners: please shoot a private message to the GamesRadarPrizePig with your name and address. And be sure to mention what you won in the subject line, in case we forget…we do a lot of contests. And to anyone waiting to receive a prize: THEY’RE COMING! We promise we haven’t forgotten.

Is the REAL Tdar this weekend? I don't care if Chris isn't on the cast, but limiting yourself to a certain amount of time just ruins the spirit of the podcast.

It may be part of the gag, but only having an hour and nine minute long T-Dar makes me sad. =(

Wewt.

The options were: no podcast at all because we're all stretched too thin and had no time whatsoever OR a brief one with a theme. In this case it's 69 minutes long. Remember we do all of this ourselves...

I think it's a lot of fun, and what's one week of deviation and experimentation? We'll be back to normal next week.

Well it's longer than the first 15% of TalkRadars. Give it a chance, guys!
gatornation1254  - 2 months 16 days ago 
Wow I actually think this is a great idea.

For Podcast 76 could you invite Dan Amrich, so he can talk about Interstate 76, and it would be a 1 yr anniversary from his podcast appearance in podcast 26.

Is it the Mario Cart 64 end music???????? If not it's from the same "era" I believe.
Hurricrane  - 2 months 16 days ago

You know, there's still 68 OTHER talkradars to download. You'll still laugh at the jokes.
