Regulars will no doubt have noticed, and any newer listeners who have heard more than two episodes will probably have been confused, by the total shifts in tone between shows. So to try and inject some stability to proceedings Darren and I have made a commitment to get back to the usual fortnightly format with just the two of us. Our theory is if we can’t provide quality we should at least aim for consistency. With such a long break since Darren’s last outing we spend a little time getting reacquainted then it’s down to the game discussion. Having played plenty of games we handout some off the cuff opinions and then hit up the last months big news stories giving our own views, suggestions and fabrications (well factual errors to be more accurate). After that it is on to a quick featurette in which we discus the trails of localising with regards to Sega’s Western release of Yakuza 3. Finally we round it off with the long awaited return of Darren’s Old Games, which this time is Street Fighter The Movie (The Game). Enjoy the show, and be sure to check back in two weeks to see if Darren and I can make good on our new commitment. podcast Alex and Darren yes no http://dofuss.net/2009/12/17/the-dofuss-show-%e2%80%93-the-danfuss-show/ http://dofuss.net/2009/12/17/the-dofuss-show-%e2%80%93-the-danfuss-show/#comments Wed, 16 Dec 2009 16:35:23 +0000 Alex Beech http://dofuss.net/?p=1904 http://dofuss.net/2009/12/17/the-dofuss-show-%e2%80%93-the-danfuss-show/feed/ 0 1:32:56 Dan is taking over.

He swept in here with his fast-talking, smooth segueing ways, and now he is calling the shots. I will continue as a figurehead of the site only. All hail our new master. Here hit discuss our recent visit to ‘Game Japan Festa’, plenty of news, and of course the games we have been playing. Hopefully the coup will be unsuccessful and Darren will be back for a ‘normal’ show in time for Christmas. In the meantime keep your self entertained with this hour and a half of edited highlights.

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.

We have a few new jingles, but do not be scared (or at least try not to be; the ‘What Have You Been Playing?’ jingle takes a bit of getting used to). First I must apologise, we are sellouts. I hate to admit it but we have to pay the bills somehow. This week expect a smattering of adverts through out the show. Please don’t feel compelled to run out and buy any of the featured products, but try to understand the necessity of their existence in the show. This time around Darren has played more relevant games than I, so it is a mobile gaming-heavy start to the show. As ever we discuss news, including the upcoming Yakuza 3’s cast list. Following this I have a little rant about localisation of games, from Japan to the West (and vice versa). All before finishing up with Darren’s old games, this week featuring Hunter for the Amiga and Atari ST. news, podcast Alex and Darren no no
