Episode 59: Love Games and the People Who Make Them, Not Console Manufacturers or their PR Efforts.

GameAgentET & The Six-Button Samurai serve up a 50/50 bar of ice cold delights, as RRN's own Allijah Motika returns to talk about his awesome experiences at the PoGO World Championships last month in Hawaii. Then we get into what's filling us with joy, as Eddy talks about M2's latest revisitation of the Castlevania franchise with the Castlevania Dominus Collection and Tengo Project's Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn, while JJJ speaks to the Metacritic megaton shot that is Astro Bot. Of course, not all is well in the realm, so we tackle some of the latest mishaps that confound common sense in the industry, not the least of which is the disastrous un-releasing of Sony's Concord hero shooter, and Microsoft's failure to ensure smooth third-party relations for games it needs very badly. Press start and find ALL THE BOTS on the latest episode of OH GOD IT Hz!

Host

Game Agent ET (aka Eddy)

Game Agent ET (aka Eddy) occasionally phones home to the US from Japan, where he has set up covert operations since 2007 under the guise of an English teacher. Originally birthed from the dusty trails of Tucson, Arizona, ET has shown great intrigue in earthly customs and rituals, such as playing video games, learning about Japanese culture, partaking in a fantasy football league, drawing depictions of humans with big kawaii eyes, and engaging in other artsy endeavors.

Host

Six Button Samurai (aka JJJ)

What is Oh God It Hz!?

Live on tape from Tucson, AZ & Osaka, Japan… JJJ and GameAgent ET deliver a biweekly blast of insight on the world of video gaming through a retro-fueled lens as a pair of lifelong friends catching up over hot mics across the Pacific Ocean. Sometimes it’s taking on gaming’s biggest issues with the history of the biz firmly in mind, sometimes it’s an open requiem for cool things, people, and places we miss, but there’s always an inside joke being slipped into the cracks as two gentlemen whose life paths have been forever woven together and influenced by this passion of theirs as console gaming enters its ninth generation.
