Pinekast 80: GOTM: Jade(d) Empire


It’s that time for some Kung-Fu chop saki action for the Xbawks & PC.

Yep, it’s the GOTM show for Jade Empire. Due to Baldy not being available to record the 79thn episode of the Pinekast, Tenno decided to push back the GOTM show and record another amazing show on Monday. I spend the next several days hacking away at this show to finally reveal the shiny gem inside.

In this week’s show we discuss how I completed a seven hour power session and was able to beat the game. So after the “what you’ve been playing” segment, the show pretty much was reduced to the Baldy & Jango show with a sprinkle of Tenno here and there. Not wanting to belittle the other members, but fuck them. They didn’t finish the game!

Mwahahahaha!

Hey, let me enjoy this very rare moment. It’s not every month that I’m able to beat a damn GOTM game, especially an RPG!

Decepticreep was unable to make it onto the show because this week he was waiting for a very special person to enter into this fantastic world. Fast forward to today: Decepticreep and his lovely wife finally had their baby today.

For the record, I decided to dedicate this episode to my newest niece, Lucy. (Would that make her a Decpeticreep-ette?) Because one day, with the wisdom and guidance of Decepticreep and some help from myself, Lucy will hopefully learn to appreciated the finer things in life like long power sessions just so you can complain about a 5 year old game with some friends on a fake radio show or at very least learn to love cartridges. Yeah… :/

Anyways, Jade Empire.

It’s a half finished mess by Bioware. It don’t hate it but I don’t exactly love it either. By very definition it’s mediocre.

Whatever.

Join Jangofatt, Tenno, Baldy, Jedah Doma and a very special guest for our dissection as we enter the fictitious world of Jade Empire.

Yeah, I love this fucking site and if you are reading this, I think you fucking rock as well.

PCA vs. CGE!

Last weekend we had a chance to stop by the newly invigorated Classic Gaming Expo – a glorification of everything retro, retroesque or just plain classic in video gaming. Though this means we saw way more Pacman shirts then we normally do…

Game of the Month: Jade Empire

Jade Empire…

Some how I was bamboozled into going along with this Bioware Chinese kung-fu themed action RPG.  Tenno and Baldy must have used some sort of Jedi mind trick to convince me to play this game.  Okay, so it’s Bioware so I’m going to give it a fair shake and maybe I’ll fall in love with [...]

Pineconeattack! Presents: Pinekast! #30 – Peripherals

So this week we took some time to discuss the merits and detriments of all the excess crap we accumulate when we’re start buying video game peripherals. If you have a chance feel free to add to our list of horrible crap.  And yes we totally forgot to cover all the crappy dancing pads that have [...]

Pre-Xbox Haloz

So on July 21st, 1999 at MacWorld, Bungie unveiled to the world their new sci-fi first person shooter called “Halo” which was suppose to have run on their newest Mac computers. By today’s standards, Halo’s look was kind of clunky but it was high res back in the last century and the concept of vehicles in an FPS was still a novelty so I can understand the excitement. Hell, some crazies were even willing to buy a Mac just so they can play this game. Continue reading Pre-Xbox Haloz

Game of the Month: Psychonauts

Atten’ hut!

The members of PCA have voted and this month’s zany adventure will be a Psychonauts, a crazy game created by none other than Tim Schafer who worked on classic adventure games like Maniac Manson, Day of the Tentacle, The Monkey Island series and Grim Fandango.

Gather up the courage and prepare for the grueling training and [...]
