Episode 37: "Deadly Discs"

[trsjeff]

This week, everybody disagrees! The Mist: Unreal or unrealistic? Mass Effect: Fantastic or frustrating? Uncharted: Drake's Fortune: Cinematic or simple? Plus, Rocket Racing and ALL-NEW ATOM #18!

BEST INTRO EVAH.

Especially for the copious amounts of ParticleIllusion it employed!

I haven't seen The Mist, but I definitely am more ready to side with Dan on it.

NO INTRO SPOILERS, PLEASE!

Sorry, I didn't mean to yell. I hate to unleashed my unnatural mod powers on people who insist on spoiling the intro. Guessing the TRS intro is one of the few pleasures I have left that won't kill me... I hope.

Unless you're referring to my Wondertouch comment, which makes even less sense. I might as well have said "Great intro! I love your use of Final Cut Pro!" Howzabout tucking the old internet member back into the internet pants and getting on with your day. That said....

I stand by my BEST INTRO EVAH.

I agree with a lot of the points that Jeff talked about (save points and driving). Compared to other games of the price range this is a freaking sweet game. I think that this game is for a hardcore sci-fier and gives you 6x the hours of game play than any other 5 star title that came out recently.

Jeff is sometimes biased on the game based upon how he plays it. To expand upon this more, this game is extremely detail oriented if you are a completionist but if you just flow through it you don't get bored. If you are playing this game by searching every planet on the map it is going to be painstakingly boring.

This game does not explain a whole lot by making you do a 30 minute tutorial, but you can read or listen to data-bits about the history. Hopefully this game lives up to it's three part story to explain more of the plot.

This game starts slow and stays very slow except for the combat which at times makes the game-play too hectic for this slow game.

I think this game was hurt by technical problems (video slowdown and texture pop-ins) that couldn't be fixed in time so the makers just slowed everything down.

Maybe Jeff is just a PS fanboy.......?

I feel bad for always responding with "Awesome episode." So this week I'm posting a longer, more detailed response.

Watching TRS is like wave after wave of joy. First, I see the description and read it. Wow, a review of Mass Effect and the Mist? Great, can't wait! Then, I download the episode... waiting.. alright finally done.

The opening sequence is always hilarious, this week was no different. Great idea to use Wii sports, and have Alex chase Jeff around. Next comes the opening song, three rad dudes with nothing better to do..... TOTALLY RAD SHOW.

The usual analogy of what the Totally Rad Show is, the background shout out, opening banter... and onto the show.

Movies: I have to agree with all 3 of you actually. I definitely enjoyed the Mist, it was creepy-crawly and just plain fun to watch the whole way through. However, the camera work was not my cup of tea.

Rocket Racing: You guys should totally audition for the Amazing Race. You might not win but... hell it'd be funny.

Videogaaames: What?!?! I cannot believe Jeff's review of Mass Effect. I loved, LOVED this game. Excluding the vehicle sections and the length, everything about this game is PERFECT. I have no comments about Drake's Fortune since I don't have a ps3, but Jeff I think you love this game because you look like the protagonist!

Rocket Racing Two: Well at least you tried guys. "I blame Alex's hat!" LOL

E-mail: LMAO at the finger grabbing Dan' ass! The most disappointing game for me is Shenmue 2. The game itself was so ****ing awesome, but the ending was such a let down.

Awesome episode as always, keep up the great work!

I was just stopping you from saying anymore. The warning wasn't for you. Relax bud.

It was awesome. I cried, I really cried...

I was happy to here Jeff about "Oblivion." I just finished my fifth 30+ hour character. I'm not sure what life is like without Oblivion.
