Echo Chamber Podcast Post Game Episode 43 and 44- E3 Edition

BEFORE THE STORM
AFTER THE STORM

DURING THE STORM- Oh. We're done with that? OK, then.

SO, here's what we talked about:

-Second Life is STILL a thing, BTW
I don't know who's using it nowadays, but it's there. You'd figure there would be something else.


-Fantasia: Music Evolved was still the biggest one for me. Now while the trailer made the game look like this:

(I CAN CONTROL BRUNO MARS WITH THE POWER OF DUBSTEP!)

-The gameplay looks incredible, and I've been looking for something to fill that Elite Beat Agents void:



-Another one we liked was "The Division"


-SWERY65 has a new game on the horizon! (But it's Xbone Exclusive D:)

I'm digging the "Walking Dead" style art and character models, since Deadly Premonition's "Like the PS2 but better's" aetschetics was a turnoff to some.

 -The Hyperkin RetroN 5 looks SO HYPE. I can play 9 different kinds of retro consoles? EBAY, AHOY!

-Even though Microsoft retracted its statement on DRM, and allowed used games, I'm still on the side of "not getting one". Mostly out of trust, since all of these measures like "connect every 24 hours" or "no used games" could have been used for great things by the developers except for two reasons:
1. Games aren't going to get cheaper
2. Budgets aren't going to get cheaper
and
3. That shit is fucking hard. When you take the first two points into consideration, ANYTHING that could POSSIBLY throw the consumer off will screw you over in the end.
