Zainabb is sick so we watch cult fave and all-round bad film, The Room. Hear us rambling about terrible sex scenes as well as what we've been up to lately.
Welcome, dear listener to episode 2 of the Deviant Robot Gamescast. It's been a long time coming but, like a pint of Irish stout, good things come to those who wait. Our topic of choice is the dinosauric genre that is RPGs. Will has some very interesting views on what makes a role playing game, while Robin pulls his hair out in frustration, Zainabb takes the diplomatic approach and Laura refers to her knowledge of pen & paper RPGs. In the end we know less than when we started. Standard Deviant Robot podcast then...
Zainabb's back to rescue us all from a lack of giggling! We talk Alternate History, which takes us to a discussion of Alan Moore's Watchmen and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, as well as Jonathan Hickman's Manhattan Projects and Pax Romana - with some Gotham by Midnight thrown in. We finish with news on upcoming Marvel and DC tv series!
Well this podcast is very very late sorry about that again people. We are also down to three on this show but fear not Will, Robin and Zainabb we able to chat enough shit for a whole show regardless... who would have thought we had it in us. Despite the low head count this should was still totally Dinosouric!
In this episode of the Deviant Robot Transmission Will had to recover his computer just hours before the show so things might sound a little rough as we hadn’t quite had chance to get things sorted our properly before we needed to record so sorry if things sounded weird. Zainabb address wills miss fortune by immediately proclaiming it ‘Shit on Will day’ which luckily for me she only mean metaphorically. We then went to rant about such diverse elements as ... Deviant Robot Rust Sunday sessions, The BBC Proms, Stanley Kubrick’s 2001 and 2010 Space Odyssey, Jurassic World, Jeff Goldblum, The Fly, Terminator Genesis, Drunk with Blood: ‘God's Killings in the Bible’ by Steve Wells, ‘It's Such a Beautiful Day’ by Don Hertzfeldt, thoughts on the recent Suicide Squad, Batman V Superman and Deadpool trailers, ‘How it Should Have Ended’ https://www.youtube.com/user/HISHEdotcom, Joss Whedon returns to comics with 'Victorian female Batman’, Female super hero's, ‘Ready Player One’, and we get sciencey (badly) about Pluto.... actually most of the show was about Jeff Goldblum.
This Episode for the Transmission Will reviews last weeks episode as it was done while he was sick and Robbin and Zainabb needed “feedback”. We also chat about Tin’s birthday canyoning, Steam sales, Will gives a much better The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt update, Fallout 4, Oculus Rift gets a consumer release model, Windows 10, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson remaking ‘Big Trouble in Little China’, Mad Max, Payday 2, Eve Online madness. Also this episode might seem a bit rushed but unknown to TinTin we had a whole bunch of people downstairs waiting to shout Happy Birthday at him with balloons cake and streamers as we gave him a late surprise party. So we had to wrap things up a little sooner than we might have liked. Also regular listeners might note that we used the wrong version of the deviant robot outro without the music fade up or vocals from the lovely Yasmin... so that happened :)
Zainabb’s back, and together with Will, Robin and Tintin we gather to ramble on and occasionally break into song about... Breakfast serials of choice, coffee, MCM Comic Con London, Robin’s Eurovision hangover, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell TV, getting locked out of your iTunes library, Rockstar suing BBC, Guacamelee, Doom and lots of other random and odd things.
In this weeks episode we try really hard to stop Zainabb talking about the new Star Wars trailer... and inevitably fail. However before we get to it we manage to wax lyrical about such diverse elements as Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Star Trek: Into Darkness, Ant Man, Star Wars Battlefront, Next generation gaming, Unreal Tournament, Goat Simulator, Vermintide, Kung Fury.
On this weeks show we have a big old chat about the nature of telling meaningful and personal stories in fiction. Zainabb tells us about 'The Gigantic Beard that was Evil' (not JJ). Robin tells us about his experiences with Google Cardboard and we chat about the future of mobile phones. Can Nintendo do something interesting now they are making mobile phone games? JJ got an XboxOne and we talk about Child of Light. Will gets excited about rewatching 'Naked Gun'. There is also some ill-advised banter about MDMA and Acid.
William, Zainabb, Hannah and JJ gather together to celebrate Ghostbusters along with the rest of the website this month. We also talked about the usual comics, movies and video game related stuffs. Goats were mentioned also.
