"Mailbag day! Mailbag day! Hey everybody, it's mailbag day!" J and Bobby put out a request for questions and they sure came pouring in. Topics range from the Fall lineup of games, console lifespans, gaming setups, cookies, distractions, space combat sims, Project Runway, and a little bit about the lives of the hosts.

Low Score Episode 08 "Is it Meaty?"

noreply@blogger.com (Virtual Fools) — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 15:05:38 -0500

Both Rock Band and Viva Pinata got "platform upgrades" this week and J tell the world about them. Bobby discusses Mega Man 2, and the question of which platform to buy Mega Man 9 is raised. Mix in a little Spore now that Bobby's played it, first impressions on the GTA Chinatown Wars screens, World of Warcraft's new game within the game, and a discussion of how their gaming attitudes have changed in the year 2008.

You might just find this cast to be meaty.

Low Score Episode 07 "Charming"

noreply@blogger.com (Virtual Fools) — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 17:56:29 -0500

Oh man, oh man! We've packed this one tight! We kick it off with some Spore, get it rolling with downloadable games on XBLA and the Virtual Console like Super Mario RPG, Mega Man 9, and Castle Crashers. Bobby then explains why he's an idiot (Bangai-O Spirits) and complains about the DS hardware.

We're proud to introduce a new segment titled "Seriously, Nintendo." We'll let the reasons why be a surprise.

Oh, and we talk about the Orange Box on the PC and 360 and if Bobby should upgrade his PC.

Low Score Episode 06 "Make it Work"

noreply@blogger.com (Virtual Fools) — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 22:24:14 -0500

Not even the start of classes can stop Bobby from beating a game and buying three others. And now that he's finished with Mass Effect he and J can finally discuss it! Meanwhile J has an interesting cerebral response to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare being that it's the first FPS he's played where he's really out to kill real looking humans in war. Is this an untapped area of game design and story?

But be not discouraged, for Bobby wants to go to war with everybody in Civilization Revolution and blast off to space where he can kill alien dudes in Galaga Legions.

J's come back around on Bionic Commando: Rearmed and explains why not liking the game probably means you're doing it wrong.

What other adventures await our heroes? No idea! But you should listen anyway.

Low Score Episode 05 "A Very Braidy Podcast"

noreply@blogger.com (Virtual Fools) — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 21:24:09 -0500

J's back! And what does that mean? It means we get to discuss potato chips and beer. Oh, and some video games too, I suppose.

Newsflash: J LOVES POINTS. Tune in to hear him talk about his misadventures with Avatar: The Last Airbender and Madden 06.

Though we've played a few demos and some Geometry Wars 2, this week is really all about Braid. With about 40 minutes of the podcast dedicated to one game, we discuss both gameplay and narrative. Don't want spoilers because you're going to play Braid soon? That's okay! We give fair warning in the course of the podcast for when we're going to discuss potential spoilers for the rest of the show.
