Weekend Confirmed - Ep. 96 - 01/20/2012

Game designer David Jaffe and Gametrailers managing editor Michael McWhertor join Xav and Garnett for this week's show. Along with getting into Twisted Metal and car combat games the crew tackles a wide range of topics including a look at Shacknews's Game of Year winners, the different ways gamers see the balance in games between narrative and mechanics, more hands-on experiences with the Vita, and more. Buckle up, it's one helluva ride to the Finishing Moves.

Show Breakdown:

No Jeff

 

[Osietra]

Go team Angela.

 

[Bigfoot]

Go team Angela.

Who's Angela?

Anyways, nice to have one thread for the show instead of weekly ones. I don't usually listen until the following Monday or Tuesday so I always figure no point in posting by then since most have moved on.

 

[Curufinwe]

I guess a consolidated thread makes sense at this point.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

Random Shacknews news, Witcher 2 is their GOTY
http://www.shacknews.com/article/72076/game-of-the-year-witcher-2-assassins-of-kings

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings may be draped in the cloak of a brutal fantasy world filled with monsters and magic, but it offers an interesting reflection of real-world problems. It's a political drama where those in command are governed by fear and uncertainty. It shines light on racism and sexism in ways that shows developer CD Projekt RED is unafraid to push narrative boundaries beyond most games in its class.

Anyway, let me know if one of the links is broken in the OP

[Coen]

Wait what? What happened to Billy? Only guy on podcasts who can (could?) talk about Nintendo games without sounding like a complete douche.

 

[Nizz]

Awesome job with the OP, HamPster. A nice, consolidated thread for everything Weekend Confirmed. Love the little bios on the crew. Should be a good one with Jaffe on board this week. Love his upfront personality.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Drop a BOMB on it

 

[Akia]

WHAT HAPPENED TO PLAN B?

THIS IS HIS MOTHER ASKING

 

[Blazyr]

Epic! Thanks for the love HP et al.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Wait what? What happened to Billy? Only guy on podcasts who can (could?) talk about Nintendo games without sounding like a complete douche.

I think he moved to Seattle recently.

 

[LiK]

Epic! Thanks for the love HP et al.

you need avatar!

 

[Osietra]

Drop a BOMB on it

Let's strap some Semtex onto this bitch, and find the nearest metaphorical bus of boring video games podcasts, because Garnett Bin Lee is declaring jihad on those buses.

 

[Grisby]

Weekend Forever-irmed.

Nice OP man. I'm only an episode behind.

 

[mr stroke]

Jaffe is on, nice guest. Downloading now

 

[Chocoboko]

I love the descriptions you gave for each cast member. So great.

 

[Blazyr]

you need avatar!

Yeah, I had the closeup of the print from that shirt before the big board update. Hmm...what should I use? I haven't seen the rules. Do I need to host an image someplace?

 

[LiK]

GAF hosts it now. Just update it the same way in user CP. Animated gifs aren't allowed anymore.

 

[burgerdog]

Ooh, this is a great idea. Can't wait to listen to the latest episode, Jaffe is always a treat to listen to.

 

[Deadstar]

Good episode so far. Jaffe is awesome. I am anxiously awaiting Twisted Metal. I am a huge black fan.

 

[Booshka]

Good episode so far. Jaffe is awesome. I am anxiously awaiting Twisted Metal. I am a huge black fan.

I wish I had a PS3 to play Twisted Metal, but I can't see myself buying one for just one game, too bad it's not multi-platform, hope it does well and maybe I'll play it on a friends PS3 or something.

 

[Franklinator]

Download the new episode now, looking forward to it

 

[Jake Tower]

 

[Linkified]

Right I've listened to the last 2 episodes of 2011, and is Ariel Angelotti Garnett's girlfriend because I thought he was married?

 

[Jake Tower]

HamPam: you might want to put some "bios" up for regular guests, like Plan-B, Christian Spicer, and Andrea Rene.

 

[Jake Tower]

Right I've listened to the last 2 episodes of 2011, and is Ariel Angelotti Garnett's girlfriend because I thought he was married?

I don't think it was discussed in public, but Garnett split with his wife, and is now dating Ariel.

 

[Salaadin]

Lol, cool OP.

Can't wait to listen to this weeks episode

 

[firehawk12]

Mega thread from now on?

 

[Geek]

Please, be gentle, GAF. It's my first Weekend Confirmed.

(And if it was actually recorded, I've never been pegged by a girl. Promise.)

 

[tw1164]

Did Jeff say why he was going to be away from the show for few weeks?

 

[firehawk12]

Please, be gentle, GAF. It's my first Weekend Confirmed.

(And if it was actually recorded, I've never been pegged by a girl. Promise.)

I really want to know how that even came up...

 

[Jake Tower]

Did Jeff say why he was going to be away from the show for few weeks?

He's performing in a play.

 

[Geek]

I really want to know how that even came up...

Jaffe's potty mouth, of course.

 

[LiK]

Mega thread from now on?

yup, it is done.

 

[Jake Tower]

I really want to know how that even came up...

His gf "gives it to him" all the time!

And yes, that part was recorded.

 

[FStop7]

David Jaffe.

Two Fs one E.

 

[CartridgeBlower]

A mega-thread for WC was the only way to get a WC thread above two pages since the last few WC threads have dropped off from their usual 6+ page epics.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Yeah, I had the closeup of the print from that shirt before the big board update. Hmm...what should I use? I haven't seen the rules. Do I need to host an image someplace?

We have our answer!

 

[Jake Tower]

You can upload an image on GAF now, 100x120 50 KB max.

I'd say the 'White Boy Wasted' would be a good choice.

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Jaffe and Garnett are a great combo. Fingers crossed for a plan "J".

 

[Deadstar]

His gf "gives it to him" all the time!

And yes, that part was recorded.

It, being the business. Ha, had a good laugh during that part.

 

[Shurs]

Just unsubscribed from the podcast yesterday and now I hear they're having Jaffe on.

I guess one more hit wouldn't hurt...

 

[Nightz]

When's Jeff coming back?

Question about the episode with Ken Rolston...is he really as arrogant as he sounded, or was that a joke? I got tired of him mentioning that he's an internationally renowned genius over and over and stopped listening after 15 minutes.

Can't wait to listen to this weeks episode

I've been wondering about this for awhile now, seems like all the thread tools and search are disabled.

Anyway, will be tuning in, but no Billy Plan-B Berghammer makes me sad.

Ken was just being funny. Highly recommend that episode, especially if you are a fan of traditional (pencil and paper) rpgs, his discussion touches on issues that are relevant to both video game rpgs and the original form.

 

[Chocoboko]

I don't think it was discussed in public, but Garnett split with his wife, and is now dating Ariel.

Err, is this true? Sorry to hear that if so.
