The much bally-hooed podcast is finally here! Excellent.
Wow. That's an interesting mafia description. The one with probability was Pale's awesome game.
18 Days songs: The first game I had never played and didn't recognize ant of the songs although I really liked that second song. That was different and interesting.
The second game SA2:Battle, do I need spoilers for this game? Well, I'll do it anyways. I recognized the first sone but could not place where I had heard it from. Then with the second song, it clicked right away. That was the Chao Karate, was it not? I liked how you realized that it would be an obvious game with the music so you just went with a difficult question instead. Also, you set it up for the commentary on the third song. The funny thing is after the setup and listening to it, I didn't think it was that bad. The music is actually rather soothing. It's the horrible lyrics that are awful. It should have been set-up as the worst lyrics ever. Frankly, I thought there was another song in SA2 that was worse. Maybe I'll dig out my copy tonight and see if that's true or if I just have a faulty memort.
The third game I was sort of expecting since you made a comment about it when you signed up for the mafia game. I didn't recognize it at first but the hint question gave it away. The other problem being the fact that I've never played the first game, only Monkey Ball 2.
Thatguy's songs:
Didn't have a clue for the first game until Jonny started surmising what it might be. As soon as he said Pacman, Pacman VS. is what I thought of also. I did however guess the hint question correctly. I just felt that since it was on a specific person, there's not a lot of people who do voice acting that it would have to be someone pretty well known. and the most known voice actor to Nintenco fans is Charles Martinet.
The second game I was able to guess from the hint question but it was the only game I could think of based on it and even then, it didn't seem right to me. But then again, I've never been able to play this game. I will someday. Oh yes. Someday, it will be mine. I assume TYP is referring to AussieBen. Whatever happened to him? I never seem him around anymore. Sounds intriguing.
The third game I never had a chance. Never played, never heard of the songs and barely know anything about the series.
All in all, I thought this went really well. I also liked how Jonny was playing along to guess the games also. I'm not sure why. It just added this wonderful element to the game. Like you and a friend were working on trying to figure it out together or competing with one another. Normally, TYP and the co-host seem to know what everything is in advance and how to put it? I guess it can feel like they're just waiting to play the songs and make the comments about the games after. Whereas with Jonny playing along, it seemed to add more of a spirit to the game and opened up more conversations while listening to each track.
I'm interested to see how the listener requests turn out. TYP, do you think you should post a rule about what songs are acceptable for the podcast if you are going to let people make a list of which songs to play for a game they choose? (Depending on if they even want to choose the songs.) I may give it a shot here and there also.
Getting back to game 2, it might be fun every once in awhile to just play music from a game that is totally obvious but just comment on the tracks and give a harder hint question. It added a lot of fun to the proceedings and was one of the best parts of the podcast. The other being Jonny singing.
Well, that's all I can remember from the show and can think of commenting on.
