MFGamers Podcast 1 - Mostly Fat Zombies

Ben and McGroober return for the first MFG podcast (or last DS-WiiFi podcast, depending on your point of view) and talk about games and shit.

There's Pro Evo on the Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Kekkaishi: Kokubourou no Kage, Castlevania : Portrait of Ruin, Mario Kart Wii (and a lengthy off-topic rant included), Dead Rising and Kane and Lynch among others.

Yeah RE the off topic rant. I didn't explain it that well and it really wasnt aimed at anyone on this site.

Basically it annoys me that people complain about a lack of variety in Nintendo's output, but then buy the same 5 ip's every console. I dont have a problem with the buying of the games, nor the making of them, more that if Nintendo are busy working on a new Zelda, Animal Crossing, F-Zero, Pikmin, then when are they going to work on news stuff?

If all you want are sequels then you cant complain when that's all you get (and they have come up with new IP's, just few many of us want to play)

Also, if there is anyone who's getting GTA and wants to be on the next one feel free to join in

That makes no sense whatsoever, you crazy monkey.

You'd rather a sequel to a poorly-constructed and executed simplistic FPS that was a great disappointment to all, rather than test out a critically-hailed triumph of gameplay and controls?

Anyway, we've been missing your sarcastic stings in audio form so get on the case, pronto.

MFGamers Podcast 2 - Music From Games vol.1

Ben and Hendo pick some of their favourite pieces of music from videogames.

No tracklist included, as it be a surprise! But expect some hip-hop, funk, electronica, rock, pop, and something far far worse.

It's possibly the grandest experiment we've done so far and it took me 2 whole days to edit, so I'm sure it'll get roundly ignored. <_<

But!

Apart from taking the piss (out of me) this is as good a place as any to get some discussion of game music, and if anyone wants to be on another show with music then say so and pick your tunes. Or if you don't want to be on, just pick some tunes anyway.

Completely off-topic, but the new 1up Yours is up already and it sounds like a right corker, because it has Dennis Dyack on it. That's my evening at work planned, then.

That was actually pretty good, but considering you two don't play Final Fantasy you missed some of the best game music ever.

Stuff from Nobuo Uematsu is legendary, well, except this, but he may have been drunk whilst making that one (or maybe the localisation was terrible as the riff is very Uematsu, but the singer is fucking shit). :weep:

I'll pick out some Black Mages stuff later.

And as for something that's been in my mind for a while now, the music in Portal is awesome too. Like all Valve games, it's not used very often but when it is it compliments the feeling of the game perfectly. And who can forget Still Alive? I have the Portal soundtrack through Audiosurf but I can't get it out of the game though.

I'll think up some more stuff later.

Nice work guys. I agree with the games mentioned, they do have great soundtracks. I keep meaning to pick up some soundtracks but the only ones I've bothered with are both Jet Set Radio ones.

I'm usually rubbish at remembering game music but I would pick:

Final Fantasy VII - Main Theme.

There was a thread about Intros over at GTM and I mentioned the intro to Persona 3 there, it has great music so i'll pop it here too.

Firstly Hendo, props for the awesome editing as usual. I don't want to shatter our air of professionalism but we did the entire show within about 30 mins and without having any of the music to hand (I had to text hendo my list that morning) so I'm pleasently surprised by how well it's come out :)

the NiGHTS song played (the first one) isn't the one I was thinking of, it's actually a more accomplished version, but damn that Boyz II Men version is something. Although I'm not quite sure what that something is. Bar the Ocean theme I liked your picks hendo, and typically I've thought of about 3 songs I wanted to include.

Wiivo you should do a section each show as to why Nintendo are better than everyone else

I'd like to give the songs David & PTG posted but for some reason my coputer isnt playing more than 2 seconds of youtube clips :(

Bar the Ocean theme

Lies!

Funnily enough (though probably not surprising) I was gonna use a track from the original Sonic, Green Hill Zone. And of course, the Steve Song.

Good choice!

I think we should suggest to SEGA that they should rename the song steve, instead of Seven Rings In Hand.

Oh, good choices with the Portal music too!

Still Alive didn't actually cross my mind at all though originally I was gonna set a rule for the first one of nothing too obvious or been done to death (Mario main theme, Zelda theme, Still Alive, Tetris, etc) but regardless, Still Alive is still an awesome song.

With the rest of Portal it goes back to a point one of us says about not noticing music - I couldn't remember any music from Portal bar the ending song.

Looks like there's at least enough interest for one more of these so that's all good. :)

I think this is the best podcast there's been so far. :)

When I first saw the thread I thought 'that's what noob does at the end of the Joypod podcast', and it's good to hear that's partly where you got the idea from as I do like that section of the show. It worked so well flipping between you two and your various choices. I'm going to go back to Gitaroo Man Lives on the PSP thanks to the show, even though that tune was from the PS2 version right? And LOL at the Boyz II Men (or however they spell it) acappella.

I think we should submit say three tracks each, via PM so that there is an element of surprise when we listen to the next music themed MFGamers podcast, providing there won't be any other guests doing theirs. I'm going to crack on and get thinking, there's already a few ones I have in mind. :)

I think the plan is to do another traditional podcast this week (although given that it's monday night already it's looking ominous ;) ) but I'd be quite happy to do another music one quite soon while people are still interested.

Anyone up for a show this week, Hendo's net bed time is about 8 i think, and i dont get back from work till 6.30 so it'll be a bit rushed but if anyone is interested let us (Hendo) know
