Low Score Episode 41 "Candles, Candles Everywhere!"

In this episode: Dramatic Reading, WhatCHA Playin'?, Should Bobby Buy?, Items of Note, Let's Discuss and THE LIST

We kick things off with part four of our Castlevania II Worlds of Power novelization dramatic reading, in which we see mysteries solved, temptation overcome, and the rise of Lord Dracula! It'sa gonna be-a really-scary! I'm not-a kiddin' you this time.

Bobby has continued to play Mass Effect 2 in between sessions of Plants vs Zombies on the iPhone, and J picked up Assassins Creed.

Bobby asks J whether or not he should buy four different games, and J tells him to save his money for Rock of the Dead.

This week's discussion topic was videogame writing. That is, writing about videogames. We break down and describe the different categories of writers and discuss how they're relevant to the field at large. This bleeds right into THE LIST for episode 41: THE LIST: Recommend five people who write about games. If your THE LIST was not read on the air, we'll be reading it next episode. We got a lot of submissions after we recorded, but we owe it to you to make your voice heard.

Listen and spread the word!

THE LIST for Episode 41

THE LIST: Recommend five people who write about games.

We'll be discussing the way people write about games in Big Episode 41, so we want to know who you think are the best/important/entertaining writers out there. Major game websites, niche blogs, magazines, books... all are fair game. What matters is that that they're people you enjoy, respect, and would suggest to other readers and listeners of Low Score.

Low Score Episode 40 "As Long As It's Classy"

In this episode: Castlevania II Dramatic Reading, Mass Effect 2, Listener Questions, and THE LIST

Jimmy joined us for a truly BIG episode of the Low Score podcast. We kicked it off with part three of our dramatic reading of the Castlevania II Worlds of Power novelization, with Simon Belmont and Tim Bradley fighting monsters and solving puzzles.

Before we talked about what we're playing, we talk about what were playing. Bobby finished up Uncharted 2, Jimmy shares his impressions of Assassins Creed 2, and J picked up 'Splosion Man for five bucks.

But really, this is our Mass Effect 2 podcast. Jimmy and J beat it, while Bobby is half-way through. This means that it will contain some spoilers, but we did our best to keep the main narrative twists and sequences a surprise for you all.

Listen and spread the word!

THE LIST for Episode 40

In Big Episode 39, J and I ran through the GameFAQs Character Battle VIII to determine the ultimate champion... but there were still a few characters missing who could have been strong contenders.

So, we're asking you for Five Great Characters Missing From GameFAQs Character Battle.

Don't be shy now, c'mon Catch-A-Ride!!!

Low Score Episode 39 "There Can Only Be One?"

Much like an after-school made for TV movie, this was a very special edition of the Low Score podcast. You'll notice we jump right into your favorite song, which can only mean one thing!

We're being vague on purpose, but we think you'll enjoy it.

Oh, and sorry about the sound quality at the beginning—Bobby's mic gain was too high and he sounded like ass. We've fixed it as best we can, and it does get better as the episode goes on. We promise it won't happen again.
