This is kind of funny, one of the things we do on EndgameRadio every week is try to think of something special about the number of the show, be it some cultural reference or just mathmatical. Now we have help with the latter:
This week we go over some heavy-hitters. Team Fortress 2 had the new content release, as well as the medic unlocks, but made a booboo; somehow they allowed the achievements to be unlocked via typing codes in the console. GTA 4 is out, but we haven’t played it because we’re not gamers. Mario Cart is out, as well. Zug went to ROFLcon in Boston, and also saw the documentary Second Skin while he was there; recap ahoy! Oizys went to the SC^3 event with Rog and friends.

TF2 teaches us some awesome things about unlocks and achievements. The medic has a lot of new toys to play with and a lot of hoops to jump through. We also break down four categories that the current achievement frenzy can fall into. Gamepro magazine suffers from praising sequalitis this week, so we take a look at weather this deluge of sequel games is good thing or bad thing? Related to this we stop and ask, “Where did modding go?” Lastly we talk about ‘easiness,’ and how there’s a bit of a trend praising simplicity in casual and kids games, and how that’s not really a good thing. People will overcome challenges.

Sign a petition if you don’t want Uwe Boll to make any more games. An awesome essay stating we need to settle down with the Church of Gamers. Zug raves about Grandma’s Boy, and Bartle speaks of his dark visions of the future. We talk quickly about A Neopets fan not being excited by Free Realms, and Zug talks about being the best in the world. Links to all this stuff available below!
