PODCAST: Stage Select FINAL BOSS Holiday Edition

By Rob James | 24 December 2010 | GameCrashers Radio, Media | | 0 Comments

It’s the end of the year and we’ve got one final-boss-sized Stage Select to share with you before we all dive under our respective trees and rip open the nicely (or semi-competently) packaged gifts that have been calling out to us for days. On this episode we have two special guests: Geoff Chorney and Christopher Riccio of Interactive Distractions. With their help, we shall attempt to hit a Christmas inspired high score of 12 topics in one show. Expect us to cover a wide range of topics and an even wider range of tangents. Hey, at least you can’t accuse us of not giving our all this close to the holidays.

The Rundown:
- You pick the topics. If you want to get involved, go submit a topic to our ever growing list over at vgevo.com. You can also email your Stage Select questions to our email at crashcast@gamecrashers.net. Be sure to put ‘STAGE SELECT’ in the subject heading. We’ll be back with more episodes (and more guests) next year!

High Score: 11
Final Boss Score: 11

The Questions:

1 Point – Should mouse and keyboard be more accepted on console gaming?
2 Points – Is it about time for Nintendo to try a new IP?
3 Points - Should gaming be treated as and addiction?
4 Points – Should voice talent in games get more recognition and should publishers advertise star power more?
5 Points – Do in game ads ever benefit the player?
6 Points - Will Valve ever release Half Life Episode 3 and why didn’t episodic gaming catch on?
7 Points – What happened to the space Sim or did Eve consume them all
8 Points – What makes a Collector’s Edition worth while, swag or downloadable content?
9 Points – Are devs using multiplayer as a crutch for shorter single player experiences, or do they need multiplayer to make up for slow advances in artificial intelligence?
10 Points – Is 3-D the future or a fad?
11 Points – Is the video game release schedule geared towards holiday shopping, or are releases more evenly spread across the year?
