Apologies, just looked back through show notes and it’s 20, not 21.

We discuss it at length on 21 or 20 (21 I think).

You mentioned Plants Vs Zombies! YES!!!! The finest (and most surprising) tower defence type game ever. Could this even make it to the PS3? The controls are perfect on mouse (for the PC).

Yes I think so

What’s the 4 player co-op you guys are discussing? (crap single player but great in co-op). Flashpoint?

On illness: I think I caught it off the freshers I had to train for the student radio station I’m still involved in, even though I graduated. Bastards.

On jumping: The obvious solution would be something like the free running in Assassin’s Creed. I don’t think you can ever choose to jump in that game, but you character jumps as part of natural movement. The other solution is a climb mechanic which would work for getting on top of things, but would fail if you needed to jump across gaps etc…

Just going to keep on chatting here. You guys are discussing the jump mechanic. As weird as it feels I totally agree. Is there ever a need to jump (in a real world situation) where we end up hopping around the battlefield like a bunny on special bouncy drugs. However, jump atop boxes, air-con units, low walls, etc… totally understand. Is there a way around this? Context sensitive jumping?

Cheers, matey. Much appreciated. No consolation but illness has struck here. In my sixth day of the most horrendous cold/cough. Bloody children pass this stuff around school then try to kill all parents (and legal guardians) by coughing incessantly. *shakes fist*

No it’s ok, we forgot to mention it this week. Sickness made this a weird one.

Just starting now. Could I ask a favour…. is there a chance you could mention “Kris is Raen”, etc in the article as I never, EVER remember. *hangs head in shame*

Yeah I was not feeling good. I kept trailing off when I was talking about Batman.

Just finished listening to it. Very informative this time round. Some funny bits but I love the randomness of cake reviews and energy drink reviews. Still good but I can understand why you left ‘em out because Kris sounded like crap.

Cake will be back when next episode comes out, guaranteed. I’ll make sure of it.

Bring back the cake reviews!

I will listen to it the second I get a chance.
