It’s insanity galore as Mixmoff, Aevan, and Dr. Scares are joined by the entire crew of Evil Avatar’s Shotgun Podcast. In a mashup like no other all 6 hosts run through their highlights (and lowlights) of E3, and everyone finds their Bizarro-world analog. As a special exclusive for Fall Damage listeners, hear several seconds of footage you can’t hear anywhere else!

Exclusive content that could only happen here, on the Fall Damage Podcast.

Natal is dead…. long live "Kinect"!

Posted by mixmoff On June - 13 - 2010

According to USA today, Microsoft’s motion controlled system formerly known as “Project Natal” has been redubbed “Kinect”.

Push all thoughts of modern day erector sets out of your mind, because the USA Today info springs all types of obnoxious branding in your facehole.

Among games in the works:

- Kinectimals lets you train and play with 20 different virtual cats, including a lion, cheetah and tiger.

- Joyride, a racing game, lets players use their hands to hold an imaginary steering wheel — pull your hands toward you and push back out for an acceleration boost — and their bodies to execute jumps and tricks.

- Kinect Sports has six activities including boxing, bowling, beach volleyball, track and field, soccer and table tennis. To serve a volleyball, you mimic the real motion; in soccer, you can kick the ball or do a header.

- Kinect Adventures includes a river-raft time trial and obstacle course, playable by up to four players. On the raft, playing as a duo, you and a partner must lean one way or another to steer. Jumping helps the raft reach special areas for extra points.

- Dance Central, in development by MTV Games, brings a So You Think You Can Dance experience home.

- Star Wars characters and iconic Disney favorites will be featured in separate new games being developed at Microsoft in conjunction with LucasArts and Disney.

You may remember Joyride up there as the kart game the Fall Damage crew was discussing on the show a couple weeks ago that vanished off the face of the planet after its reveal at E3 last year.

What are your thoughts on the name change?

Level 40 – The Circulus Vitiosus Show

This week Mixmoff, and Dr. Scares are joined by forum fanatic Trefoilknot as they answer a barrage of listener questions, talk a little about the forum D&D game, and trade E3 rumors.

I can’t imagine a better piece of news. Back to the Future, the best movie property to get brutally abused as a game series, is getting the episodic treatment by the masters themselves: Telltale Games! After bringing adventure games back with their refreshing new episodes of the Sam and Max and Monkey Island series, now we get to see what they’ll do with Back to the Future and Jurassic Park.

Scares, get your raptor dance ready.

Connors said the games, which are in the early stages of development, would tell new stories extending the “Back to the Future” and “Jurassic Park” lore. He teased that the “Back to the Future” games may include a DeLorean ride back to the 1970s while the “Jurassic Park” games would be intense and add new backstories to the series’ man-versus-dinosaur mythology.

“The games are going to exist within these worlds,” said Connors. “I wouldn’t call these games sequels per se but a new interpretation of their worlds for a new medium. For one generation, it’s an introduction to these series. For another generation, it’s a thing they can look back on and something they can share warmly with their family and friends.”
