It’s history in the making as Mason jumps on for his third guest appearance on Fall Damage, and for the first time there is no catastrophic technology failure. He, Adam, and Dan talk Super Monday Night Combat, Syndicate, Shadows of the Damned, Soul Calibur V, and holy hell all those games start with S.

Your future opens up ahead of you; what mysteries await within? Adam and Dan serve as your tour guides on the journey to becoming all the you you can be. Allow them to educate you on Resident Evil: Revelations, team building, The Binding of Isaac, robot overlords, Joe Danger: Special Edition, backlogs, and whether or not popcorn chicken is too fancy for a potluck.

A week off did us good, as we’re cranking out a XL-sized episode this week. Adam, Pete, and occasionally Dan talk rollerskating elephant sharks, Caylus, Asura’s Wrath, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Kingdoms of Amalur, and methamphetamine. DON’T DO DRUGS!

Get your body ready for a mega-interview, because this week the gang is talking with the man, myth, and legend David Jaffe. They discuss genre blending, being a developer dad, and Eat, Sleep, Play’s expectations for the upcoming Twisted Metal rebirth.

Also of note: next week Fall Damage will be taking a much needed week off. However, if you’re worried about what’s going to fill that Monday timeslot, we have something in store for you!

It’s that time of year, folks! We’re breaking off 2012 with a bang by rolling out the Third Annual (or Second Biannual depending on who you talk to) Fallies Award Show!

Adam, Dan, Niki, and Pete announce their winners for Best Story, Best Setting, Best Multiplayer, Best Soundtrack, Best Character, Best New IP, Best Indie Game, Listener of the Year, and Game of the Year. Each host also gives out one award that is distinctly their own: the Pinnacle Award, the R.M.S. Titanic Award, the Silent Hill Award, and the Clowns Will Eat Me Award.

Adam and Pete crusade alongside longtime friend of the show Mark “Gennataos” Myers to find the truth behind orgy tyrants, blood chocolate, Saints Row: The Third, Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer, the stagnation of open word gaming, and what exactly constitutes a spoiler.

If I had the power to freeze time I’d use it to listen to this show on repeat a million times. Also, I’d study for some tests. The gang talks Assassin’s Creed Revelations and Recollection, Terraria, Trine 2, the Kaye Effect, Back to the Future, and horse jokes.

It’s time for a magical adventure in a land of innuendo, debate, and cost-benefit analysis! The gang finally get to a couple of the emails they’ve been sitting on as they talk about the importance of game length and the portrayal of female characters in gaming. Pete tells us about how he spent 3 hours playing a minigame and we make him feel dirty for it.

Listen, I don’t know what happened here. I drank something that tasted like lemon pledge and in a little over an hour I woke up and we’d recorded this. Topics include the Dark Meadow, Saint’s Row: The Third, Skyrim, pickle surprise, and time-warp dentists.

The sky’s the limit as Pete and Adam sit down to talk Black Friday, state birds, Skyrim, and Skyward Sword. Apologies to anyone named Thad, but we assume you’re a jerk.
