TalkRadar 67 – When Mickey Met Spidey

We sort through geekdom's biggest merger ever, plus talk Guitar Hero 5, Section 8, and Soul Calibur PSP

Words: on September 4, 2009


 




 

Top 7… shameless rip-offs – imitation is the sincerest form of stealing ideas.

Section 8 out this week – Mikel dubs it “pretty OK.”

Guitar Hero 5 actually good? – surprisingly strong offering this year, aside from dangling Kurt Cobain around like a corpse.



Disney buys Marvel for $4 billion – two worlds collide, prompting thousands of alarmist, worst-case reactions. We’ll hold your hand and talk you through it.

Question of the Week – What peripheral let you down the most? Let us know!

Above: Mechamorbo picked an obvious pun for the week, but it’s a great one

Above: The unpronounceable Pyr0qvy fittingly plays with one of GamesRadar’s most frequent mispronunciations

Above: Who would have thought there was an image that could ever fit “The House that Abe Lincoln’s Boners Built?” Manaconda, that’s who! 

Above: Frootaloom is somehow the first person to make an Elton/Elston joke. Took you long enough, planet Earth

    I just got hooked on these and have been listening to all of them the whole week. Awesome! Then, when I finished, there's a new one. Fridays are my new favorite days in the week.

    ...wow, I just came off as a real kiss ass.

    Mario Paint itself made the mouse worthwhile. I've put more hours into that game than any other, seriously.

    Nice episode, my only complaint though is that during the last segment, the music seemed to overpower your voices. It must be the earphones I was using but please check on it if you can.

    @Bobbety

    I'm pretty sure you're right on that one, it's such an obvious pun. But I don't remember hearing or seeing an Elston John (had to fill my personal artly expectations for the week). But hats off to who ever first-ed it.

    I know i should be saying this, but, i was at gamespot.com checking the all time greatest game hero when i saw The Nameless One losing to fucking Ryu from Ninja Gaiden and it just made me hate all you fucking noobs even more.
    PS:PLEASE DIE.
