Podcast: Episode 129 – Year of Sonic, Comics and Outlast

Once again Peter was missing from this week’s podcast, this time because he’d unfortunately caught some sort of near deadly cold. Hopefully he’ll be back with us for next week’s podcast.

Fortunately, Lewis, Kev and myself were all available to chat about things on this week’s podcast. Lewis has been playing Outlast, which he seemed to find exceptionally scary, as well as watching You’re Next. Then there’s Kev, who’d been preparing for the Static Showdown hackathon this past weekend. This is much like the Game Jams he’s discussed in the past, so make sure to listen in if you want to see what he’d cooked up for his next 48 hour sprint to game creation.

Then there’s me. I’ve been beavering away on OlliOlli recently, but as we’ve talked about that a lot in the past, I’ve also sat down with Indoor Sports World. Frankly, it’s not exactly great. I’ve also been reading some of Marvel’s recent flurry of new first issues, and have plenty to say about Punisher, Miracleman and Loki: Agent of Asgard.

Oh and the Year of Sonic of course. If you want to see the terrible Sonic Boom character designs I talked about on the podcast, then you can head over here to see the trailers, or just look at the frankly terrifying version of Knuckles they’ve created below.

Sonic Boom

Is there really any good reason for Knuckles to be so huge?

Finally, Lewis has another quick fire quiz for Kev and I, followed up by this week’s listener questions.

  1. Thank you ! Someone finally agrees with me that the Wii U is shit ^^ Now I happy.

    I never was a fan of Sonic, so I don’t really give a damn about his game, but I agree the characters look silly.

    Lewis I have to say I’m impressed you manage to watch, such bad movies and sleeps well. I would probably be at rage for wasting so much time with crap like that :P Did you see Looper? I’d liked it very much.

    I’m not surprised with Pixar, but I can say the same thing for Disney animated movies. Not a single one of them was bad, I love them all I think. The really old ones and new ones, are funny, have something important to say with them and are well done. Don’t you agree? BTW, Lewis: are you ok with talking toys in Toy Story, but you feel wrong about “who makes the tires for cars in Cars” ?

    Kris are you talking about comics or books? The one with Loki (sounds fun to read).

    How the hell do you guys know all those answers?! Holy shit, each podcast I wonder about that all-categories knowledge you guys have :/ I feel really stupid each time I’m listening to quiz’s like this one :/ think I’m going to skip the quiz next time…

    Good podcast, guys, well done ^^ btw. I’m level 4 now on TSA, hurray !

    • I am talking about comic books, and yeah Loki: Agent of Asgard is great.

      Glad you enjoyed the show!

      • Yeah, I was just wandering if it is a comic book or a book book, like LOTR, The Hobbit etc. :P

      • Nah, we rarely, if ever, talk about novels etc… Almost always comic books. Unless we state otherwise it’s a comic book basically.

  2. That was me who caught the laptop after Lewis threw it while playing Slender, which is surprising considering how drunk I was.
