This week we take a break from a crazy release season to chat with Kyle Newman, the director of the upcoming Star Wars-centric nerd comedy Fanboys. We also discuss the week's big releases, including Banjo-Kazooie, Wrath of the Lich King, and Call of Duty: World at War, plus Mailbag, Insert Disk, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in the Backlog for a third week.

[Jack Scofield]

Ah, nice. I was wondering if there was going to be a show this week. Hopefully it's up on iTunes soon.

 

[Wario64]

Yay, I was loading itunes literally like 3 minutes to see if there was a new episode.

 

[Proc]

Yeah, I've been anxious for this one to. Lots of new releases worth discussion.

 

[Wario64]

Up on iTunes now

 

[Meliorism]

It's up on Zune marketplace, too.

Oh, and it's right around 2 hours and 10 minutes.

 

[Johnkers]

Poor Suttner's beard must be shedding if he reads this

 

[AgentOtaku]

hooray!

 

[KefkaTaran]

Just for the record, the time on the episode is actually 2:10:10. For some reason it says 1:05 while downloading in iTunes, but it should display correctly once the download is done.

 

[Darkflight]

Fanboys, awesome, been wanting to see that for ever, Star Wars + KBell = Win

 

[StuBurns]

Tina thought Ico was Ecco, god damn...

I know you guys have already done one Ueda game in the backlog, but I really think you should put Ico up next time.

 

[Danne-Danger]

Man, Shane is on fire this ep.

 

[TheGreatDave]

Man, Shane is on fire this ep.

600 posts worthy?

 

[Trevor360]

so where is our backlog-bundle pod cast already

 

[StuBurns]

600 posts worthy?

Nothing outrageous, he just grilled the new MyCheats guy.

 

[Brobzoid]

how far into the ep until misinformation this week?

edit: shane's on it?

 

[JavaMava]

At what time does the backlog start?

 

[alistairw]

ZIFF ARE XBOTS LOL

 

[KefkaTaran]

It will definitely be on there eventually, we just want to put a little more distance between Shadow of the Colossus and Ico backlogs.

Srsly.

As we mention on the show, Skip's away at the moment, so this is on hold. We did get to see some early art designs for the logo, though, and they're awesome.

That's cool, Fahrenheit was just after the Heavy Rain trailer, Trico has got to be shown over the next 12 months, it'd be nice to see Ico go on the backlog around the time we see Trico. Another suggestion, though I'm sure you get a ton, Okami would be a nice choice I think, late PS2 it didn't see the sales it should have.

I was listening to an old 1up Yours and noticed they already did Psychonauts 'pile of shame' feature a couple of years ago. I was surprised you guys did the same game.

yeah but did they actually get through the game? or get tim goddamn schafer on the show? i think not.

I'm not criticizing, it was my favorite backlog so far. I just thought it was odd.

 

[rollingstart]

IF you guys don't do God Hand backlog before MadWorld or Bayonetta, well, I can't do anything other than make empty promises of doing something bad...uh, I'LL SEND YOU HATE MAIL.

 

[bhlaab]

cant not listen to something if its about STALKER

 

[Ifrit]

I haven't finished listening to the podcast but yeah, I was pretty disappointed when Godhand wasn't the game chosen for the backlog last time. I hope it's nominated again until they finally get to play and talk about it.

Such a great game...

That was sort of the point -- to show that we could do what 1UPY could not. Also, I'd love to do Okami, but I think Nick and I both finished it and loved the hell out of it. May get a special honor at some point though.

It's required that games take a one-round break if they're nominated and don't win (unless they get second place), but I'm sure Godhand will keep coming up until it's voted in at some point.

 

[LiK]

wow, 1up FM turned into a movie podcast suddenly!

 

[Acid08]

Have you ever killed a man

:lol

 

[inner-G]

Guess I'll listen to this instead of yours this week since Shane is on it.

 

[KefkaTaran]

BG&E running away with it at the moment. Kinda wish I still had a copy now. I've listened to every backlog but have yet to play along. One of these days I will make actually make the effort.

 

[Creamium]

ask matt leone? what on god's green earth would you want to ask matt leone

 

[eznark]

Backlog poll is up! Go vote!

http://boards.1up.com/zd/board?board.id=games

What are the choices?

And I think nicks smiling face should officially replace the letter A in 1up's review scale.

 

[StuBurns]

What are the choices?

And I think nicks smiling face should officially replace the letter A in 1up's review scale.

Tales of Symphonia (11%)
Eternal Darkness (11%)
Beyond Good and Evil (50%)
Call of Cthulu (11%) (spelt wrong, I think it's Call of Cthulhu if you're having trouble looking it up)
LOZ: Twilight Princess (18%)

BG&E would be my choice.

 

[watership]

When was the podcast recorded? Nick said that if you have a SD TV don't buy Nuts and Bolts because the text issue will not be fixed. I thought for sure Rare said on Nov 7 that they will be issuing a patch to fix the text problem in SD.

 

[LiK]

Tina thought Ico was Ecco, god damn...

yea, that was really disappointing........ ;_;

 

[eznark]

I was like 35 hours into ToS when my Wii corrupted my save file. Fuck that, I will never go back to that game.

I'll vote for BG&E when I get home though.

 

[inner-G]

What are the choices?

Call of Cthulu
Tales of Symphonia
Beyond Good & Evil
Eternal Darkness
Zeruda: Twilight Princess

meh

 

[LiK]

Call of Cthulu
Tales of Symphonia
Beyond Good & Evil
Eternal Darkness
Zeruda: Twilight Princess

meh

yea, no Yakuza

at least BG&E is there.

 

[acevans2]

Backlog consideration: that late-Xbox era Oddworld game.

Stranger's Wrath, I think it's called? That's supposedly really good but fewer people played it than Ico, probably.

 

[StuBurns]

Yeah but Ico is probably the best game ever made, so I still think it's a little more important.

My point was more that Tina appeared to have not even heard of it, which is scary to me, the idea that people who are big fans of games are unaware this game even exists. And I'm not criticizing Tina at all, if she hasn't heard of it, Sony are fully to blame. There might be a lot of people who haven't heard of it, and a backlog would at least get quite a few gamers paying attention to it.

I think everyone knows about the Oddworld games, but yeah, Stranger's Wrath is a great game.

 

[rocksolidaudio]

I would love to do Stranger's Wrath too, but until it's BC it's probably too much of a hassle to expect people to play along.

Was recorded before that. We'll work in an update in the next episode.

yea, no Yakuza

at least BG&E is there.

Yakuza was in it last month, so it has to take this round off. I'll definitely be running it again at some point, though.

thanks Phil, i'm gonna keep pushing that game until you guys play it!

 

[omgimaninja]

I really enjoyed the discussion with the Fanboys director. Hadn't heard about the movie before the podcast, but now I'm eager to watch it in February.

 

[Joseph Merrick]

Was the audio during STALKERtalk completely fucked for anyone else, or only me? Damn.

Anyway yes, you are Strelok. The guy whoever he is had it right. You are Strelok and got Scar's c-consciousness programming/brainwashing by mistake. Kill Strelok.

 

[fistfulofmetal]

Really frustrating listening to them talk about Stalker when I knew the answers to the questions they're asking >:|

 

[Blueblur1]

Skipping this one too.
