Special guest on the show this week is Ramon Nafria of A Crowd of Monsters, developers of the new Xbox One game Funk of Titans! Well, we TRY having him on, and it works for a bit, but between internet issues, PC issues, and Skyping someone from Spain, the Greek Gods of Funk were not with us tonight.
We still talk to Ramon for as long as we can, with topics ranging from the design and style of Funk of Titans, to previous works from the company and their similarities to their new work, as well as how it was working with Microsoft and getting their game on the Xbox One.
After the 9th failed Skype call, we end up moving on and discussing some of the recent news like the H1Z1 launch and the blowup over the airdrops, last week's Nintendo Direct event and the impending shut down of Club Nintendo, and how Kris wants to call PlayStation Plus a reward program similar to Club Nintendo and how goddamn wrong he is despite him not getting it. I expect an email from Zak about this.
Speaking of Zak, we also talk about how goddamn wrong HE was when he claimed that a Borderlands re-release wouldn't ever happen until 2016 and how the recent news of a Handsome Collection was announced way before even my own E3 2015 prediction. The bottom line is that I'm always right and I've never made a mistake.
Sadly, no email this week, so our Plotless Game Movie Contest is still wide open. Just send us an email (theSMLpodcast at gmail) with a synopsis of a movie for a game with no semblance of a real plot. Like the proposed Tetris movie. We've got a swag filled prize pack for our favorite entry, so enter and win it!
Music this week is a five pack of tracks from Funk of Titans courtesy of the cool dudes at A Crowd of Monsters and composer Damian Sanchez. Speaking of the game, if you listen to the show, we read off two codes for the game and if you're fast enough, maybe you'll score one of them!
