Episode 8: Ambient Occlusion
We explain why we are a duo not a trio, then jump right into the only news for the last month, EA trying to buy Take-Two. Somehow Bucky and Daniel are lead into a conversation about the nuances between SimCity and SimIsle, and even thogh Michael isn’t with us, we still manage to rip on him. Bucky will not shut up about GTA IV, and we talk about the Gears of War meat Cube.
It wouldn’t be an episode of 2nd Player if Bucky didn’t flame some nationality, so take that Aussies! Oh and Daniel declares he is a white supremacist, and is offended by the mockery of the obesity problem facing lumas.
There is a STRONG BAD VIDEO GAME, and Bucky schools Daniel on Adventure games, and YES MYST SUCKS!
