Bad Enough Dudes

Please fix your servers Square. You make baby Taru's cry!

The gang will be surprised about this one, I actually created a Square-Enix ID for myself ( gasp!)

I then signed up for the Beta for the upcoming FFXIV game which was relased late, in this case yesterday

 Not 40 minutes after it became available on the West Coast the files became unavailable and it would appear that Square’s server’s have crashed. I cannot even login to their site without an error message. One can hope this means Square has a winner on its hands! Until then, we’ll see what becomes of the first MMORPG I’ve ever touched!? Stay tuned!

We’re big fans of Dragon Age: Origins at Bad Enough Dudes and Bioware has just released a trailer for the newest expansion titled Witch Hunt.  So here you go!

On the latest Badcast we brought this up briefly and I was sure that we wouldn’t see Morrigan.  Now watching that trailer I see that I am dead wrong.  September 7th!  I can’t wait.

Ahead of this September’s Dead Rising 2 release, Capcom has unleashed a more bite-sized zombie horde onto X-Box Live to whet your appetite for zombie killin’ action with Dead Rising 2: Case Zero. Read the rest of this entry »

Our ‘Nets are in peril! LOLCat, the spirit of the Tubes, can no longer stand the terrible destruction plaguing our Interwebs. She gives five special memes to five special young people. From Africa, Shane with the power of Dramatic Chipmunk. From North America, Will with the power of Peanut Butter Jelly Time. From the Soviet Union, Matt with the power of Rick Roll. From Asia, Jon with the power of Star Wars Guy; and from South America, Drew with the power of … heart. With the five powers combined they summon earth’s greatest champion – Captain BadCast!

The BadCast

This week’s intro/outro music is ‘Freeze Dried Funk’ by poisoncut.

Please note the BadCast works hard to earn its [EXPLICIT] tag. Especially around the 20-minute mark this week.

And finally, for your listening pleasure, here is a rundown of some of the big topics for this weeks’ episode:

1:25 – Shank review

10:40 – Halo:Reach Trailer Talk

19:00 – Rock Band: Green Day Micro-review (yes, really)

23:30 – Transformers: War for Cybertron Impressions

I don’t know if I’m late to the party, or getting in on the ground floor, but I’ve spent the entire morning being entertained by the “Guile’s Theme Goes with Everything” video meme that seems to be making its way through the tubes. From Mega Man to Metal Gear, and from MJ to Maury, no one has been spared.

The meme seems to have first got its legs from YouTube user ‘guilethemefitsall‘ who uploaded his first video (inserting Guile’s Theme into the horrible Super Mario Bros. movie). It quickly spread beyond that single user account, and can now be found throughout YouTube and the Interwebs. For more, see Know Your Meme’s relevant page.

Racing through hordes of enemies, seven evil exes, and traveling through alternate dimensions, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game has brought back the side scrolling beat ‘em up.  Will this cooperative brawler find a well-deserved home in your downloadable games library?

I think it’s safe to say all of us here at BadEnoughDudes.com are big fans of the Scott Pilgrim series in one form or another. Fortunately, we’ve been given yet another opportunity to spend our hard earned cash on our beloved franchise: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game now has an official soundtrack available for purchase on Amazon, and ITunes for the low, low price of 10 bucks. That’s not too damn shabby for 24 tracks of pure unadulterated awesome. If you love the music from the game, or are just a fan of chiptunes in general, you should definitely check this one out. I personally picked it up on Amazon at 12:01, as soon as it became available.

From days of long ago, from uncharted regions of the universe, comes a legend. The legend of BadCast: Defender of the Internet. A mighty podcast, loved by good, feared by evil.

As BadCast’s legend grew, peace settled across the Web, until a new horrible menace threatened the Series of Tubes. The BadCast was needed once more! This is the story of the superforce of game explorers. Specially trained and sent by the alliance to bring back, BadCast: Defender of the Internet!

Please note that the BadCast is [EXPLICIT], for her pleasure.

(Ed. Note - Shane apologizes for the occasional mic breathing. He will remember to move away from the mic to breathe in the future.)

This week we have not one, but TWO trailers for you guys. Both trailers are for sequels of great games so lets get started with Dragon Age 2!

I LOVE Dragon Age:Origins.  Easily in my top 3 RPGs of all time.  It took me about 60 hours to play through the story mode and I did it twice.  A lot of people are saying that the inability to change race will ruin the game, but I have complete faith in Bioware and cannot wait until Dragon Age 2 comes out in March.  Next, we return to the world of Torchlight.
