So long, farewell

Welcome to the final Resolution Magazine podcast.

It’s sad to end it but at least we end on a high note. We have an intro and even a special guest, Peter Willington, to help us produce our highest quality and most professional show. But don’t fear. Whilst we have produced a more focused show our banter and stories are still present. And for even more of them, we’ve included our special Outtakes and Tangents show.

Resolution Podcast

WELCOME TO another belated edition of the Resoultion Podcast! It’s a retro special this time, given Resolution’s recent launching of its retro sister-site, B4HD. So join Lewis Denby, J.D. Richardson and Matt Baxter as they get all misty-eyed…

Download it (M4A), listen online here, follow the RSS feed, or subscribe via iTunes. A run-down of events is below, and I’ll try get an MP3 up soon.

00:20 Retro special! When Lewis says “see what we did there,” I really mean “see what Dan did there.”

01:05 Different setup! What were the first games we remember playing? For J.D. it’s Chucky Egg.

02:50 Paint chickens? No idea why Lewis said “paint.”

05:00 Matt’s is Wolfenstein 3D. Hitler in a robot suit!

07:05 For Lewis it was some awful platformer, but the title that really got him into gaming was Quake.

08:20 Game war! Quake vs Duke Nukem 3D!

10:00 “lol fuckin’ nuuh.”

11:30 First PCs. J.D.’s came with Descent, Magic Carpet 2 and Dark Forces. Dark Forces!

13:40 Lewis’ bizarre mid-’90s FPS control setup.

16:45 The Force Unleashed. Lewis thinks it’s terrible. Lewis is right.

18:00 Lewis thinks Rogue Squadron 2 (not the original, as he mistakes it for) is the best Star Wars game. Everyone laughs at him.

18:20 Or Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast. Which everyone agrees with.

19:22 Lewis forgets the name of a great Star Wars game. It’s Knights of the Old Republic! A bit of an odd one to go back to. Matt didn’t even know what it was.

21:02 What was wrong with Rogue Squadron (2), anyway? It reviewed well! J.D. says it didn’t, but it did! He says it reviewed well. It has a 90 average on Metacritic!

21:30 Right: here’s a good retro game. Favourite retro theme tunes, with extended soundbites. We may be infringing copyright at various points here.

29:10 Which is your favourite theme tune, gorgeous readers?

29:56 The sweet sound of a freshly opened beer.

30:03 Games we loved, and now realise are terrible.

32:13 The joys of trying to play simulation games as a child.

34:17 DON’T COPY THAT FLOPPY! Hilariously, probably breaching copyright by playing an anti-copywright-theft song.

36:27 …Which reminds Matt of something that happened to him.

38:15 Evil UbiSoft copy protection. Matt didn’t even know the details! The filthy console gamer.

40:10 Our, um, favourite copy protection methods…

42:10 “Don’t put the stiff thing in the slot.” And the joys of the name “three-and-a-quarter-inch floppy.” And BYE!

Podcast

Welcome to a super-mega-ultra-pilot-edition of a new Resolution podcast, including a startlingly handsome new member to the podcast team, a jingle, condenser microphones, pop filters, mixing desks and expensive recording software. Yes, the Resolution podcast has gone pro. We can’t quite believe it.

Of course, there’s still plenty of beer around, while Lewis Denby, J.D. Richardson and some bloke called Matt Baxter talk about things like you can see on that big list below.

For now, you can listen through the player on this page, download it directly, hit up the RSS feed or subscribe on iTunes.

00:00 New intro! OH MY.
00:25 A new person!
01:20 Let’s talk about games. Including a terrible one.
02:49 Massive tangent into the insufferable vagueness of the word “gameplay”. Basically not interesting.
06:09 The quiet return of Conan the Cat.
06:42 Where were we? Oh yes, the terrible game.
12:50 Let’s move on.
13:00 NO LET’S NOT.
14:15 Lewis in Not Being Pretentious Shocker! Is loving Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.
16:35 Let’s talk briefly about Digital: A Love Story.
16:50 Lewis is WRONG. Christine Love is from Peterborough, Ontario. Not Toronto.
19:57 What’s New Person been playing? Broken Sword! On the bus! And Curse of Monkey Island.
22:35 And Borderlands DLC! Man. He’s been playing more games than us!
28:10 Questions. From all you buggers. To start with: iPhone version of the site.
29:05 Namedropping exercise. And discussion of Greg’s excellent beard. And then we all talk about our own beard-growing efforts. And don’t namedrop anyone for ages.
31:48 Matt tells us about his meeting Nick Oliveri, ex-Queens of the Stone Age.
33:40 J.D. goes all nostalgic.
34:36 Do we like Halo? Ha! Clever. But no, seriously, we do. That was kinda the point of Lewis’ article.
41:33 Favourite power-ups!
47:10 SPHINCTER.
47:20 Portal 2 talkies.
54:45 We’re lonely, ask us more questions.
55:12 And the music fades in. It’s a wrap, folks!

- The curiously unmentioned absence of Resolution Robot.

- Lewis sounding thoroughly depressed for no good reason.

- Lewis overstating the amount of time he couldn’t walk after his injury (was actually about three months, not “four or five”).

- The introduction of a question, and subsequent forgetting all about it and moving on to a new topic.

- A heated argument over whether saying “Robert Kotick has a punchable face” is libellous.

- A suggestion that publishers slip us a fiver for a good review.

- Lewis having a coughing fit, before erronously claiming Magic Carpet 2 was released in 1994. And that Command and Conquer was released in 1996. In fact, why the blinking heck is he so obsessed with needlessly stating the release dates of every game mentioned?

- Two hysterically obvious splices where one of us nipped to the toilet.

- Utter nonsense about a distinctive art style of the 1990s, and a comparison between Doom and Command and Conquer which seemed to make sense when recording, but is absolute rubbish in retrospect.

- Terrible jokes.

- The suggestion that we’d like to have sex with a genre of fiction.

- A shouting match about BioWare games.

A preposterous claim that BioWare have been making games for 13 years, when they’ve actually been making them for 15.

- A disappointing audio quality.

- Cider.

- Lots of cider.
