Turns out the Nintendo Wii can have a lot going for it under the right circumstances. Tiff Chow, David Ellis and Kat Bailey join us for Mad World, World of Goo, and Bit.Trip Beat.
This week, it's all Wii. Yeah, surprised us, too. It started with the emergence of Mad World, a thoroughly adult title on a console most of the hard core have dismissed as a toy for the elderly and exclusively for the "family friendly." David Ellis and Kat Bailey share with Ryan their concern over the corruption of today's youth through violence in the media (not really).
It's not usually our "thing" to cover games that were released several months ago, but World of Goo is worth making an exception for. While we know we're a bit late to the party on this one, we felt we had to bring it up just in case you might have missed it. It's just that good. Tiff Chow agrees. She, Ryan, and Matt settle over some delicious, gooey ice cream to celebrate the game's finer points.
And, also in the might-have-overlooked category is the just released Bit.Trip Beat. No, that's not a typo--the extra period belongs there. It must be seen to be believed as any description is inadequate to the experience. It's pong, but for this generation with elements of rhythm gaming grafted on that pulls together the modern and the retro in an even keel of gaming awesome. We knew we had to at least give it a quick first look in this week's show.
Of course it took some effort to find our Wii's and dust them off for this episode. Adventures documented within!

FFS I thought this was about Half-Life2 Ep3 being co-op!

Once again, a great episode.
I can't wait to get my hands on Bit Beat and I think I might end up buying Mad World and World of Goo next month.

Can't believe it took them this long to recognise World of Goo's awesomeness.

So one of Ryan's criticisms of MadWorld was that it's on the Wii?

At least they've gone back to having 3 games per show and shorter skits.

The problem with Co Op is that it's essentially all the annoying gits from 1Up, and in this episode they've got Ellis in.
Perhaps he, Ryan O'Donell and Matt Chandroinait are going for a douchebag Triforce.
A DoucheForce.

They just did a live stream taking questions which was pretty cool.
I asked if they were working towards getting some previews on the show which Ryan said they are and it should be easier now they've got Revision 3 behind them.
They are also just in the deal for a year with Revision3 and are free to do other stuff which they will explore once they get better at making the shows within a week.
