AR Podcast #9b: Sloppy Arcadian Cults

Arcadian Podcast featured image

A while back we recorded a podcast and it got messy. Too messy for us to make a podcast out of it.

The thing is, there were still a few things that we felt were worth keeping. To salvage these AJ and Potter got together and recorded some new segments to bookend the best bits.

Welcome to our most seamless podcast.

Timeline

00:00 – Where does Potter find these songs?
00:26 – Potter and AJ introduce the mish-mash podcast
02:17 – Dylan introduces this as the tenth podcast (this was correct at the time but is now totally not)
04:31 – “They did Lara perfectly… shut up”
06:26 – “A bit of Halloumi”
08:46 – “This is me being a child and watching a large-breasted hot woman”
09:19 – Dylan discusses the dissonance between Tomb Raider’s gameplay and intent
14:38 – “Just like Tony Robinson”

34:55 – Mike leaves and causes a cacophany
35:02 – AJ and Potter make a good attempt at re-introducing the content
37:05 – Dylan then does another introduction
38:51 – We fail to expertly splice in the correct part of the Bioshock Infinite conversation,
39:15 – SPOILERS for Bioshock Infinite

50:21 – A murder of crows says a lot about the game
51:11 – The podcast flashes back and introduces the correct part of the Bioshock Infinite talk, before we realised we’d lost that entire section

      Hahaha.

      We kept most of the non-sober stuff out of the podcast.

    Hey, whoever that Guest Speaker was came across as a total pro. You should use him again. Maybe even pay him. In whisky and cheese. What a guy!

    (just got around reaching this podcast, talk about laggin' behind!)

    I've made it a point to get Vanquish before the end of this year, but I'm so concerned about how more awesome it might be compared to Warframe, I'm afraid I wouldn't want to get back to Warframe once I'd be done with Vanquish! Not to mention that, given it's been so long since release, I'm also a BIT concerned about whether I'd be able to find a copy anywhere.

    On a Spartan note, the day I showed up all dressed up as one for work, was still warmer than the day I did the same in Saint-Zénon (where I had another costume party… which is 140km North of Montreal. oh and the party was in November): http://www.cosplay.com/photo/1865145/

    Would you believe that -10ºC feels considerably colder than -4ºC? Crazy stuff! Might have had something to do with me having wet feet from stepping in the snow in sandals… or maybe also me being half naked. Yeah, must have been that.

      You've only just listened to this!

      You need to play Vanquish. I believe that you saw it in motion at one of our Cine Express meet ups.

      You need to play it, it is super cheap and is a joy to play.

      Also, I just looked at that image again. You are a nutter.
