With most of the panel unavailable or sick, Episode 8 is another two man show. This time Shawn is joined by Poco Loco to take on some interesting FPS and Action Gaming topics, ranging from the return of Arcade games, to Battlefield Heroes, video game characters who suck at their jobs, and whether FPS players truly enjoy getting shot.

Next week’s show should feature a larger panel again but enjoy this week’s edition of the FPS Cast!

    Hey great podcast guys, you two were really having fun and that makes the show fun to listen to. I dug the bit on old school arcade play, aw the time I wasted on Spy hunter and that wire mesh Starwars flyer. You think you had it bad waiting on a row of quaters? The closest arcade to my house growing up was 75 miles away! Then we moved and it was only 30 miles, but the row of quaters was just as long.
    I gave the cyris demo a go and I have to agree with you guys that eye candy graphics do not equal hours of game play. And if Im going to be running around in a super suit at leased stick with tradition and put the underwear on the outside and give me a cape! I did have a few mintes of wow and look at that tree fall down, but over all the story just did not cut it, and thinking of a super suit filled multi player did not make me want to rush out and buy it.
    I shortly after that gave the cod4 demo a spin and 3 days later I picked up the game. The grapics are not as wow as cryis but the game was fun and the multi player is awsome fast paced fps on very well designed maps. So this part is the sales pitch for Shawn, I like to jump on and game with out a bunch of fuss that is what I liked about 1942,nam,bf2,bf2142 and cod4 fill that role very nicely, plus the sign in, load up times kick the crap out of the last 2 bf games. And no missing create a squad button has ever stopped the crew on our ts server from behaving like one. I hope you decide to give cod4 a go I do not think you will be disapointed with it. The only thing about it that left me sitting here gonig WTF was no friend list, enter xfire.
    Anyhoe, GREAT SHOW! keep them comin, and good luck fixxin your super rig poco.

    Thanks Longshot for the kudos! Poco Loco and I had a great time doing the podcast!

    Ahhhh Spy Hunter, oh the hours I spent playing that game!!!! :)

    You’re edging me closer to COD4 (hehe!)… I’ll probably wait until the price drops though.

    Ole… Yea seen that you’ve added the arcade games, but I haven’t had a chance to check it out… I’m going to try hopefully this weekend!
