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.
Okay I am so glad I’m not the only one who finds XCOM stressful. Mostly I feel like a failure when playing it hahah I never feel like I’m winning.
Kind of a tangent on what you talked about Chernobyl, if you’re wanting a really good documentary about what it’s like there (for realsy), check out Chernobyl: Life in the Dead Zone. It focuses on how the wild life and nature has shown a real resurgence without people around.
I can’t imagine someone playing through Dishonoured without using the heart to listen to people. I loved listening to people, or learning about my surroundings – I felt like it added a lot of depth to the environment, and to the suffering that the people were enduring through the plague. They’re missing out a lot of the creativity that went into this game if they aren’t using the heart.
So do we get pics of all of your costumes/halloween memories we heard about heehehe?
I was too tall for Halloween too – but it just upset me. I was 11/12 and people were telling me I was too old to trick-or-tree, even though I would wear awesome costumes. Now a days, I give candy to anyone wearing a costume who comes to the door :p parents too.
whoa, two mentions in one podcast…I must be moving up in the world!
