Rated NA 75: Question of the Weekes
Ahhh 75 episodes of Rated NA! This week the gang welcomes Patrick Weekes, writer on the Mass Effect series, to talk about his craft and his new book, The Palace Job. We also briefly reflect on our wild work weeks and Hilary gushes about her love of Starbuck from Battlestar. Oh yeah, we also had Patrick answer a number of your listener questions as well.
yet another outstanding job, guys. i do hope to write again one day for the site soon. i’m kicking around some ideas for reviews.
A: They like me! They really like me!
B: Yes, I’m guy. 😛
C: Compared to the alternative of finding a RB3 Fender Squier Pro Guitar (last seen for $300) and an adapter for that ($40) Rocksmith is a very affordable option, especially if you already have a guitar. Even if you don’t, they have a bundle with game, ‘dongle,’ and guitar for $200.
D: Yeah, it is more of a trainer than a game, but it is a very fun way to do it.
E: Yes, it does have dynamic difficulty, pretty cool stuff.
F: No, they do not shock you for wrong notes. xp
My biggest beef with the game is the poor soundtrack. I need songs that I want to learn to keep playing. But if you see it for sale, you should totally get it.
Thanks guys, we really appreciate the kind words. We’re working out some logistical kinks with Matt living in New York now, but we’re hoping 2012 will be a good one for the site/podcast.
You guys rule.
