We spend most of our time catching up on the last few months events and our respective holiday breaks but in the process we do touch on lots of games in-between our stories. As I said last show do not expect Dans wonderfully detailed show notes every week, and this week serves only to reaffirm that declaration. I can tell you that you can expect us to talk about all the games we played recently, Red Dwarf, bad commercials, me pissing myself, me being taunted by hordes of nerds, the upcoming 2010 releases and our vacations. Unfortunately even with Darren back there is no Frakkers this show, but we do have some music and the return of Darrens Old Games. Hopefully 2010 will mark a more regular schedule for The DoFuss Show as we stream line the formula, but we make no promises. Enjoy the show and keep an eye on the site this month for some gaming memories of the last ten years. I am trying to get back in to oil painting, Darren insists on Twitpic updates so keep an eye on that if you care. podcast Alex and Darren no no http://dofuss.net/2010/01/05/dofusss-top-5-kind-of-of-2009/ http://dofuss.net/2010/01/05/dofusss-top-5-kind-of-of-2009/#comments Mon, 04 Jan 2010 20:29:55 +0000 Alex Beech http://dofuss.net/?p=1939 http://dofuss.net/2010/01/05/dofusss-top-5-kind-of-of-2009/feed/ 0 http://dofuss.net/2009/10/31/it-is-halloween/ http://dofuss.net/2009/10/31/it-is-halloween/#comments Sat, 31 Oct 2009 09:49:23 +0000 Alex Beech http://dofuss.net/?p=1774 http://dofuss.net/2009/10/31/it-is-halloween/feed/ 0 http://dofuss.net/2009/08/30/the-dofuss-show-%e2%80%93-i-want-a-sandwich/ http://dofuss.net/2009/08/30/the-dofuss-show-%e2%80%93-i-want-a-sandwich/#comments Sat, 29 Aug 2009 16:45:23 +0000 Alex Beech http://dofuss.net/?p=1514 http://dofuss.net/2009/08/30/the-dofuss-show-%e2%80%93-i-want-a-sandwich/feed/ 6 0:00:01 Okay, I have finally taken over the reigns of editing, which is why the latest podcast is a tad late.

Think I have it all down though, so here’s hoping you won’t notice much of a difference. During the course of this show we manage to talk about institutionalization… and drugs… and sandwiches, all without diverging from the usual format of news and features. Frakesy, Darren’s old games and the song challenge are back as always and are joined this week by discussion of game prices. A few extra notes. Every time I say Acclaim I mean Activision. It is a mistake I used to make when I was thirteen, I do not know why its rematerializing now. Also there is no such thing as morphium, thing my brain created a lovely mix of morphine and opium. I really want a sandwich.

The game is broken down into 4 worlds of 4 levels, each world containing a boss level. It is also worth noting that the game had no manual; its splash screen explained, “Real men don’t need instructions.” Ultimately, the game has received quite negative reviews despite the show’s popularity. This is most likely because of the strange aspect of Tim Taylor trying to recover tools while fighting dinosaurs, mummies, and robots and lack of an instruction manual. The game failed to sell in large numbers and it is hard to find today.

Though the last few weeks have been uneventful in terms of new releases we keep playing games and stuff is still happening in the industry. Fallout 3 – New Vegas, Bioshock 2, Assassins Creed 2 and Dantes Inferno are all games we do not talk about. Instead we focus our attention on Final Fantasy XIII, Wii Motion Plus and a plethora of other juicy topics that sprung to mind. All this before we have a little chat about the direction of the handheld market, and why if iPhones are the future you should just wait and buy one when you get there. Of course we also have some news on the Street Fighter 4 art book competition, but it may not be what you wanted. Enjoy and remember to leave comments at dofuss.net or on iTunes.
