EP5: Lord of the (Gold) Rings - The Return of the Host

Howdy folks, it's time for another episode of your favourite GNamer based podcast - this time starring a SONM invader!

https://gintendo-namer.squarespace.com/podcast/2015/7/20/the-gnamer-podcast-episode-five

Come listen to another edition of the award winning* GNamer Podcast as we celebrate the Return of the Host, saving poor Masofdas from recording forty intros, and enjoy an interforum friendship as SONM's OrangeRaccoon joins us for episode five.

On this episode, the gang talk about their fondest memories of the late great Satoru Iwata, chat about what they've been playing, and make early predictions about the game of the year.

Starring:

Luke "Drunkalilly" Summerhayes: Son of Arathorn, slayer of Seath.

Chris "Masofdas" Pengilly: Fool of a Took.

Scott "OrangeRakoon" Hall: Hey yo.

Editing notes: An easy one this time - just a few bits to cut out (including many occurrences of Mas mumbling to himself... ) and removing the opening where OR was recording from the side of a motorway. No outtake reel this time as there wasn't enough material, but I'm planning to collect outtakes and put out an outtake reel once I've about 15 mins or so of outtakes. No point just having a 30 second clip, really!

Enjoy folks.

Thanks Jay, hope you enjoyed listening.

Gonna listen now though!

EDIT:

Just finished listening to it, and it sounded great, so I guess the editing is to thank for that!

I also just had a little twitter exchange with, was retweeted, and then followed by, one of the Looney Tunes: Galactic Sports devs, so that's a successful podcast if ever there was one B) Aw yeah.

Good stuff guys. I have no problem with talk of Phantom Pain and GZ as they actually look like good games, I just hate how poor the first 3 are (also I like GZ). The journey talk on the other hand was totally uncalled for As was the Batmobile bashing mas!

Pretty sure Fallout 4 has tightened up the gun mechanics so the gunplay itself will feel less rpgish and more satisfying. Time will tell.

But the MGS pre-GZ especially sons of liberty are the good ones, with the first solid often appearing high in Top games lists. It be hard for phantom pain to come close to it.

Well to me and like Drunka pointed out this batman seems to be divided due to the batmobile, you either love it or hate it.

I'm going to murder you in your sleep and I won't even feel bad

Honestly I agree to a point with andy on MGS, the first three don't hold up so well these days especially in terms of their controls & I think GZ/TPP is set to make them look even worse.

I did indeed - I was getting peeved when there was no immediate mention of Fallout 4 during your GOTY chats though.

Ah, my bad sir! I'll edit that just now.

And - heard! Felt like a short and sweet one, this (which may entirely have been down to Drunka ), with the tributes to Mr. Iwata my favourite part. OR seems a decent chap, and I hope he'll sit in the contributor's chair again in the future. Nice work, team!

Listening to bits after the fact, there's something I wish I'd said to our esteemed guest Mr Raccoon at the time; I'm surprised to hear a MonHan lover didn't like the combat in souls! To me they're very similar.

I'd also agree that they're similar & the weapons also act like classes in way just like MH as well.

Bloodborne even went so far as to basically be full of switchaxes.

Answer: Bowguns

Literally only done one quest in MH4U so far with a weapon that isn't the HBG, and that was the bow.

On shenmue and roms I've had three answers on witch to get it from Isozone which I have heard of, Coolrom and reicast which will even run android phones etc.
