Halo, is it me you’re looking for (to play a relaxing game of co-op Halo with)

After what’s becoming a chillingly regular meditation on the concept of Matthew extinguishing the lives of astronauts, this week’spodcastwaded into some staunch reminiscence about classic co-op games on PC. Indeed, with Alice away this week, the boys were really method-acting the theme: two extraorfinarily buff soldiers, grimacing with war-weary determination against a horde of meandering, half-on-topic anecdotes.

Nate got way too excited about his idea for a Dance Dance Revolution mod based on Pacific Rim, Matthew got to show some love for the adorably brutish Gears Of War series, and stern warnings were given on the damage thatOvercookedcan do to relationships. The Cavern of Lies featured a short and utterly brutal RPG adaptation of the first level ofHalo 2.

LinksThis week, Matthew and Nate share fond memories of the time they no-lifedBorderlands 3together for review, and somehow managed to link it to an earlier digression on the idea of a Tudor-themed wrestling pay-per-view event.

This “classic” image which Nate sometimes uses as a google hangouts background was partially explained.

Nate talks about how wellOvercookedsimulates the emotional intensity of kitchen work, and Matthew takes a claw hammer to the twist at the end ofSplinter Cell: Conviction.

Matthew also brings up the pure satisfaction of a well-played game ofKalimba, and Nate discusses the upcoming Ken Loach adaptation ofHalo 2.

This week’s Theoretical London Aquarium Visit saw the big boys from theGears Of Warseries take a trip to the underwhelming South Bank fish jail, scoring a solid win for Matthew in what is somehow now a competitive bit..

This week, the official RPS aquarium remained in its existing and perfect state.
