Welcome to the Video Game Book Club where three of the gaming industry's best consultants (to never consult on a game) get together to talk about a specific video game in book club fashion. This week we finish Jusant! Next VGBC will be Castlevania Symphony of the Night. This one was a bit difficult to figure out parts and stopping points so we are giving two weeks before part 1 which we will play until we get the glasses from Maria. We did want to be split on endings so we are aiming for the good ending. Next week will be a Side Quest and the following week will be part 1 of Castlevania SotN. Don't forget to send comments and questions to testingroompod@gmail.com or on our social platforms. Also don't forget to follow us on Twitch @ twitch.tv/testingroomlive and watch on YouTube @ youtube.com/@thetestingroom

It took 119 episodes, and a patreon poll victory, but we're finally talking SEGA Dreamcast on Remember The Game? And what better place to start than with the game that started it all - Sonic Adventure. There's certainly a lot to criticize here. The camera. The glitches and bugs. Horrible voice acting. A certain cat (FUCKKKKKKKK!!!) And we do indeed criticize all of that. But we also talk about how fun this game is when this stuff gets out of the way, and how this game really was a great debut title for the Dreamcast. My guest this week is my pal and Sega lover Chris Heber, and we spent an hour talking about the good and bad aspects of Sonic's 3D debut. And before Chris and I complain about that jungle and that fucking cat, it's the fabled 'Remember The Game?' intro! We talk about the possibility of a new Nintendo 64 console, the rumours surrounding the Dreamcast mini, kickstarting video games, and more!  We also have another fantastic edition of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One'. This week it's the 'First Person Shooter' edition, starring Half-Life 2, Perfect Dark, and Turok: Dinosaur Hunter. If you want to skip to something specific, here's where to go: 0:00 - 7:50  Initial self-indulgent rambling 7:51 - 21:40 'Blowing In The Cartridge' (Listener comments & questions, and Letter Time!) 21:41 - 30:19 'Play One. Remake One. Erase One.' - Silent Hill, Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania: SOTN. 30:20 - 33:24 SEGA Dreamcast Mini Rumours 33:25 - 35:14 What have I been playing? 35:15 - 37:18 Listener's Sonic Adventures Memories 37:19 + Sonic Adventure Talk! Enjoy the podcast!

Remember when Nintendo and Rare were the gaming tag team champions? Banjo-Kazooie, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, and Conker's Bad Fur Day...Good times. And in the case of Conker, hilarious times.    This game has some warts. The gameplay isn't great, the camera sucks, the controls aren't very good. But the sheer hilarity Bad Fur Day brings to the table neutralizes most of that. I would put this game right up alongside the two South Park RPGs as the funniest damned games I've ever played in my life.   FORMER 'Remember The Game?' Hall of Famer Mark McCue agrees with me. We spent a good hour getting angry at this game, and then laughing about the same stuff that pissed us off. If you like Conker's Bad Fur Day, you'll love this episode.   And before Mark and I talk about fighting giant piles of poo and watching pitchforks try to kill themselves, it's the fabled 'Remember The Game?' intro! We talk about the movie Grandma's Boy (ugh), the possibility of another Playstation Vita, have a great discussion about Playstation's refusal to adopt a Gamepass style subscription service, and more!    We also have another fantastic edition of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One'. This week it's 'Konami/Playstation One games that haven't already been remade' edition, starring Silent Hill, Metal Gear Solid, and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.   If you want to skip to something specific, here's where to go:   0:00 - 8:25  Initial self-indulgent rambling   8:26 - 24:45 'Blowing In The Cartridge' (Listener comments & questions, and Letter Time!)   24:46 - 34:22 'Play One. Remake One. Erase One.' - Silent Hill, Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania: SOTN.   34:23 - 35:46 NHL 94 Rewind is kinda neat   35:47 - 37:55 What have I been playing?   37:56 - 40:35 Listener's Conker's Bad Fur Day Memories   40:36+ Conker Talk!   Enjoy the podcast!

My guest today is Adriel Wallick a programmer, developer and creator of the Train Jam, an annual game jam that, unsurprisingly, takes place on a train as it travels across the US toward GDC. We talk about juggling work and creativity, living in the Netherlands, making a game a week for a whole year, the origins of Train Jam, transitioning from working on satellites to the videogame industry and why 1997 was such a vintage year. We hit on a ton of games too, the endless exploration of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, why Thomas was Alone was the perfect game at the perfect time and the gut wrenching laughter of QWOP - The Opera. We also light a candle for the tireless footsoldiers of GameFAQs. What is a man? (flings his wine glass aside) A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk... Have at you! SUBSCRIBE / RATE / REVIEW HERE RSS HERE Games discussed: Super Mario Bros, Final Fantasy 9, Unirally, Destiny, Halo, Chrono Cross, Thomas was Alone, Rock Band, Jackbox Party, Diablo 3, Castlevania - SOTN.

Como le tocó a Gus cuando salió el Civilization VI, hoy le toca a Edu grabar el episodio con media cabeza puesta en un juego, obviamente el Final Fantasy XV en este caso. Como ya es un clásico, hoy toca un juego del episodio que no es particularmente conocido por los conductores, pero hacemos lo que podemos para hablar un poco al respecto. Después Gus te cuenta que sigue con el Skyrim SE y el Castlevania: SOTN mientras que Edu hace un cocktel de sus vicios y habla sobre Fifa 17 y Final Fantasy XV, comentando sus primeras impresiones de ambos, especialmente del nuevo modo historia del Fifa y de todo lo que está bien del FFXV.

Esta semana Café Fandango publica su episodio invocando una jurisdicción inadecuada, pero de igual manera esperamos que puedan escucharlo. Es un episodio atípico, donde se siente la ausencia de la Pregunta Fandango, pero el juego del episodio hace lo posible para ponerse el programa al hombro y, por primera vez en mucho tiempo, es un juego que jugaron ambos conductores. Edu te cuenta que terminó el Life is Strange y el DLC del Last of Us. Gus, por su parte, sigue con el Skyrim SE, y con el Castlevania SOTN, agregando un poco de una release de la semana. Respecto a las noticias, hay un rumor interesante del próximo Pokemón, algunos Final Fantasy XV que se están vendiendo antes de tiempo, cambios interesantes en el Overwatch, premios extraños en Steam y cerramos con dichos realmente inesperados de Ubisoft.

Look at that, we are back and we rock really hard. Podcast is up on time and we are talking about one of my personal favorite games! We sit around and chat about how SotN is pretty much the game that we remember playing last year when we got bored and played through the entire thing again. It is more interesting that I just made it sound, I promise.
