Team DeathChat is back again. And with 30% fewer calories this week!

After a glitch two weekends ago caused us to lose our original episode 8 recording, we reconvened Sunday night to give it all another go. We didn’t make any attempt to re-create the magic of that show (which sucks, because it REALLY was good! Our third segment discussion on Games Journalism especially) but instead started fresh with this one. You can’t really capture lightning in a bottle twice.

Every good series needs a “Lost Episode,” right? I guess that was ours. Oh well…

CFD!’s Team DeathChat

Episode 8 – 7/22/2010

Hey, look at that! We didn’t lose this episode to technical difficulties! Aren’t you all excited.

Join the slightly slimmer crew of The Robs and Scott as they talk about Doom 2 for XBLA, Lego Harry Potter, Persona 3 Portable, Blood Bowl, Dragon Quest IX, Limbo, Transformers: War for Cybertron, Super Mario Galaxy, Dawn of War II, and a bunch of Xbox Live Indie Games.

We promise a shorter show yet again this week and actually manage to pull it off, but the victory is soured by Rob T. messing up the staff intros right out of the gate. Later, we slip off onto a MegaTen tangent and Rob R.’s wife makes a small appearance on the podcast. Rob T. tries to dangle the “Games as Art” bait unsuccessfully, and we also fight a war to get Scott on XBL Gold for some Transformers action, which results in the Robs considering a hostage exchange for NHL 10. And if that all weren’t enough, Sage returns for the second segment!

Enjoy!
