A show allegedly about games both video-based or otherwise, but mostly a few guys making up crap.
So, over 4 months since we updated the site. We're sure it's a shocker to our fan. Despite uploading in April, we did infact record this podcast in February. Go team us! In this episode: We talk about Skyrim, our 2011 GOTY We also talk about Star Wars: The Old Republic A little about Terraria Not much else This week we will be playing: Well, nothing. We didn't discuss it. Let's call this 'free study' and let you decide for yourselves.
SEXISM In this episode: Mark hijacks another introduction All roads point to Skyrim Minecraft 1.0 is a thing. But not really. Super Meat Boy Skyrim Skyrim We try to start talking about Binding of Isaac Skyrim We actually talk about Binding of Isaac We gain a special guest Skyrim The Ambivitumb and Mystery Thumb are both discovered during discussion on Skyrim We learn about pineapple Adobe unveils a new tecnology DnD 4's Vampires Dinner Plates Asscreed Revelmans This week we will be playing: Who are we kidding? We won't stick to anything
Money's a bit tight these days, isn't it? Even the necessities can be hard to afford these days, I mean, in this climate, how can a man be expected to keep up the payments for three copies of Skyrim, every Rock Band song, a full compliment of Gargoyle stools and all of fog forever? Oh, and turns out that this episode is an entire month late. With us posting no warning beforehand. We are so on the ball. On the bright side, we now have an audio set up worth its' weight in anything. In this episode: We have a new mic We still have the old Myke We almost talk about our month-and-a-half long assignment: Shadow Era Hot-or-Not: Star Edition There was a new Humble Bundle, it has now ended Rock Band 2 / Beatles, proving just how timely we aren't How drums are the most difficult things ever Spiderman: Arkham City Lego Universe, which is closing its' doors Gears of War: oops the world wasn't actually saved yet again Terraria Shadow Complex For the next fortnight we will be playing: DC Universe Online
The three fundamental areas of physics, the three biggest conundrums, each pondered by our greatest minds. Well, sort of, I mean, space is pretty far away, and you know what they say - out of sight, out of mind - so it tends to get forgotten. And particles? Honestly? They just get included to make up the numbers, let's face it, particles just hang out. Jello dynamics is where the real science is getting done. As we speak, scientists worldwide are looking to design Jello-based bags of holding. Oh, and on a totally related note, no one did anything for two weeks. In this episode: The origin of Balai Deus Ex Ecco the Dolphin Hit DVD Gunmen Gone Wild Alpha Protocol Some life lessons Dead 4 Lest Rising Island 2 Physics Space Siege Boilers We're probably still playing a thing, who knows.
We here at Thug City pride ourselves on our organic, free range prisoners. Other prisoner suppliers cage their stock in harsh, limiting enviroments, but at Thug City each of our in-mates - from the petty thieves to the serial killers - have had a life full of exercise, adventure and street math. Know that when you buy Thug City, you can buy with confidence. In this Episode: Andy didn't attend the Eurogamer Expo, he is in the minority Skyrim is discussed as if it was a Bioware game Counter Strike: Global Offensive RAGE Batman: Arkham City Catwoman: Arkham City Batman: Regular City Zelda: Skyward Sword Lord of the Rings Online We will not be recording for another two weeks For the next two weeks we will be playing: Shadow Era
Michael Jackson isn't the only one either, scientists suspect that John Lenon, Elvis and The Radio Star may no longer be thinking. Some members of the scientific community worry that this epidemic may even be affecting those outside of the world of music; Queen Elizabeth I, Bruce Lee and Facebook users are all being closely monitored for signs of poobrain. In this Episode: No one played anything, ever Black & White Burnout: Paradise Deus Ex: Human Revolution Inotia 3 Neptune's Pride For the next two weeks we will be playing: "Rock Band" We'll be playing on the Silverlode server, send a friend request to Lamdor
It's a good idea to mix up how you have your elephant testicles, after all variety is the spice of... no, Sorry, no, I refuse to do this. You'll have to get your titillations elsewhere this week. In this episode: We've been perusing Jedi Robes and Batmobiles online Deus Ex: Human Revolution, for which the only complaint we have Penny Arcade once again beat us to Superman Returns... with cats... the game Fable 3, enadangered dogs, marriage & Molyneux ALWAYS ANGRY Blade Duvets Brink We are still playing: Neptune's Pride
It is the day of your "man ceremony". This is the day you've trained so hard for. With the aid of your trusty dagger, dress and handbag you can't fail. Unless the Ultra Panther has his dark way. This week we are joined by special guest - someone's birthday. Is it Myke's again? We'll never tell. In this episode: It isn't Myke's birthday Palping We almost talk about League of Legends Hammerfight Oblivion Naughty Bear, which is apparently a game. Who knew? Red Faction Guerilla Hitman Theft Guerilla Kool Aid Guerillla Plants vs Zombies Inotia 3 Shadow Era This week we will be playing: Neptune's Pride
There's pretty much nothing that doesn't become terrifying with the addition of legs. We theorise that eight is the magic number of limbs to turn your beloved tabby into a horrid monster. The second head is really just there to add injury to injury. In this episode: Fucking a whale Clone trooper orgies Dungeons of Dredmor Humble Bundle #3 Skincraft for Minecraft Arkham Asylum and the beautiful fusion of Batman and X-Men Puzzle Quest 2 Scaling enemies in games, especially Oblivion This week we are still playing: League of Legends This week we will be playing: Hammerfight from the Humble Indie Bundle #3
In 1997 an incompetent team of small time thugs was fired by their boss for a crime they failed to commit. Today, still wanted by basically no one, they survive as soldiers of minor inconvenience. If you need to cause a problem, if you can't afford better help, and if you can be bothered to find them, maybe you can hire Team Rocket Unemployed. In this episode: Kingdom Hearts Mark Doesn't know from Tron Munny Can kids really be trusted to not use Pokemon for arson? Andy is the lord of the [Poke-]dorks VVVVVV Runespell: Overture Star Wars: The Old Republic Star Wars: Riptorn Slick Bonuses Team Fortress 2 This fortnight we will be playing: League of Legends We'll be playing on the new Europe-West server, if you want to join us send a friend request to "IcedInferno".
Your whores can only carry so many saddlebags, so what should you keep and what should you throw away? You should keep that sweet solar panel, that's for sure. It may take up two of your saddlebags somehow and leave your horse so overworked that it counts as a [Human/Animal/Whore]** rights violation, but you've gotta' get that shit to your sweet space fortress somehow. **Including both human and whore rights here is of course a joke, we here at Space Walrus studios are aware that whores have no rights. In this epsiode: Special guest Richard We've been blocked by the great firewall of china, we consider this a sign we've arrived or something Minecraft Shrooms Mark seems to have co-opted the driver's seat Portal vs Portal 2 Team Fortress 2 tutorials Fallout 3 vs New Vegas Controversy! Solar 2 Andy is betrayed by weenie We take a break to watch this video Moonbase Alpha Myke demonstrates he has no idea how the internet works Myke purchased horse armour Myke purchased whores armour Pandy is crazy Like, seriously, something is fucking wrong with Andrew This week we will be playing: Team Fortress 2 It's a steam game, so usual drill here people.
Sure you may have a farm, but we both know it could be better. Some tricked out rims, a flatscreen and lowering the suspension on your horses are all it takes to make your farm totally bangin'. In other news we have a new longest episode, and a new longest shout-off. In this episode: Portal 2 once more Micro transactions once more Gun Hand Killing Floor once more Banks don't accept confectionery Joy Sticks Alien Swarm Alien Swarm spawns several tangents, including a twenty minute argument about leveling in games There's some crap in there too This week we will be playing: Moonbase Alpha We'll be playing online, if you want a chance to catch us, there are links to our steam profiles on the contact page.
Without it, the world would stand still. We each need a little to get through our day. Our dear Myke Edwards ran out of it during the recording of this episode, causing him to collapse. It's important to know at all times, whether or not you have wang. In this episode: Myke saw the Foo Fighters Steam summer sale time is here again Pez despensers Crysis, because if we covered its' sequel that would almost be timely Killing Floor The Ur-Quan Masters Myke kicks the bucket The remainder of the hosts forge onwards after their cohorts' untimely demise Microtransactions - or how we don't like the Mann Co. Store This week we will be playing: Alien Swarm We'll be playing online, if you want a chance to catch us, there are links to our steam profiles on the contact page.
As a game master, do you ever find your players slow to advance the plot? Do they refuse to stop haggling with the local blacksmith? Do they keep walking past that lever without investigating it? Do they just not get down and funky when required? Then The Jazz Dragon is here to help. Garunteed to bring funk, groove, and sagely jazz-based advice to any game! In this episode: Pandy is trying out the six day week suggested in this XKCD strip Team Fortress 2 is now free... no, really The TF2 meet the team videos Starwars Galaxies is going away, upsetting all of sixteen people Nox Andrew forgets to makes notes of most of the topics discussed This week we will be playing: The Ur-Quan Masters (aka. Star Control 2)
This week we are joined by no one. Forever alone. We do introduce a new our first recurring segment though, which may be stolen. Fuck hole. In this episode: The Duke of Nuke, the video Pandy refers to is here Neverwinter Nights, which is by the best developer ever - Bioware! Discussion on the shapes and sizes wizards come in Character customisation and World of Warcraft's overabundance of dragons Knights of the Old Republic 2, which isn't by the best developer ever Magic: the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers: Attack of the Subtitles: 2012 We introduce our first assignment, an idea totally ripped off from the excellent Video Games Hot Dog podcast And fuck hole This week we will be playing: Nox We will be playing online, look for servers with names along the lines of [Walrus]Quest, the password will be "walrus". Nox isn't available on any digital distribution services sadly, but if you order the discs you can download the files whilst you're waiting for snail mail to catch up. The link provided includes all the patches, the free expansion (which we will primarily be playing) and a noCD patch (required to play on vista of windows 7, yes even if you have the CD, we've tried). Playing online will ask you to register, the game's original servers no longer exist so you can enter any login information without registering and it will work as long as no one else is using the same name as you. Any additional technical issues can probably be fixed by a quick peruse here.
This week we are joined by special guest James Lorimer - of our new intro fame - in order to celebrate the birthday of one of our hosts. Who is it? Myke? only time will tell. In this episode: We are recording on Myke's birthday, party hats were mandatory for the entire recording Links to James' goods forthcoming Our guest talks about Battlefield and Deadspace We whinge about Jubilee yet again The Saxxy awards can be found here Myke plays a crappy phone game Infamous vs Prototype Myke rants about PC gamers, everyone else rebuts John Gabriel's Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory is invoked And bears. I think
Children, despair not, you have survived the week and as a reward we deliver unto you episode five of the Walruscast. As an extra special bonus, we've even managed to stop escalating episode lengths. Progress! In this episode: The Marvel Overpower card game We show Jubilee the love she deserves We talk about Portal 2 yet again, we promise we aren't getting paid to do that Little big Planet discussion starts We talk about some SOE PC games for half an hour Little Big planet discussion ends Myke has a man crush on the Starwars Galaxies emulator project We finish up with Frozen Synapse, the buy-one get-one free deal can be found here Something else? Maybe? Yeah, something else for sure
Episode four has arrived, on time for once, but only just, no thanks to those meddling kids. We, uh, may have ran over time. Again. In this episode: We are joined by special guest Sam, who as far as you know has never been on the 'cast Techno Nazi The game review score discussion, le sigh We each answer the most important question we will ever face Red Dead Island Red Undead Island Andy recommends Xpadder to Myke and any listeners looking to use console controllers with PC games A new element is discovered - crows Cockroachcaine Myke, Sam and Pandy talk about attending the Collectormania convention Plenty more unspeakable shenanigans
We record episode three again, with devastating effects. It isn't our usual recording day, we're using an experimental audio set up and it's starting to get pretty late; what could possibly go wrong? Well... In this episode: We engage wrestlemode Balai mentions Infinite Eve Online Universe Toolbox or something The Classycast makes a guest appearance during a not-break A little Portal 2 Webcomics are mentioned, kind of. This is the Penny Arcade Andy refers to A teaser for our new podcast - The Porncast - is released Stealth vs Running and Gunning Hitman needs cooperative play Mark lies about throwing knives Edit at Mark's request: The Chief spits some whack shit about throwing knives The Saint's Row phenomenon Some bullshit
Late as always, and undoubtedly rife with audio issues, here is episode two. Joined by special guests Allan and Shagal, who may just be one person, this is easily the best episode that has a two in it that we have recorded to date. In this episode: We open with... a contents page? Myke was in Shanghai and has no interesting stories about it Discussion of box art A new Batman gadget is unveiled Andy has been dealing with some tech support lines recently, expect to see him arrested for murder within the week The BBC got hipster all over Andy's television (image) Making fights in games scary, specifically pen & paper RPGs ...And plenty more sports fans!
We're down to a paltry week later than intended this time around, progress! The audio issues from the previous episode should be resolved now except in a few places, and all email adresses mentioned in the episode are real, so good times. We still have that lame intro though. Edit: It seems the music from the first break lasts a few seconds too long. Sorry about that guys. In this episode: We discuss the third Humble Bundle Andy says some mean things about Kick It, despite it being a work in progress Quick Save - All games need it The Chief volunteers his eyes for a very special cause, if you'd like to help out, please contact him at penisfund@spacewalrus.net Anti-piracy methods we approve of The Bee Gees. A fair bit of this discussion had to be cut from the episode due to yet more audio issues Myke and Andy reveal their inability to memorise the months in the year Controversy! Difficulty in games Min/Maxing Open world RPGs vs the more linear approach Some other topics
It may be almost two weeks later than originally intended, but it is finally here, the zeroth episode of the world's greatest gaming podcast that features three people in England and is hosted on spacewalrus.net! A couple of things first. We make up a lot of email addresses on the spot, please don't send any emails to them, we don't actually own spacewalrus.com. Secondly, in this episode there may be a fair few audio issues. We apologise for these and promise that in future episodes they will not be making a reappearance. Update: Now with 90% less ear-splitting buzz! In this episode: A truly awful placeholder intro which has been described as "Pornesque" We discuss the Potato ARG We spend a little too long talking about a specific butter advertisement Pastry Cake There were probably some video games in there too
