Hurtling through time and space like a fat guy falling down a really deep hole, this week we find your fearless heroes discussing the best intro and ending sequences in gaming history. They also take pause from saving the universe to discuss Space Marine, The Walking Dead, and the untold stories of Fraggle Rock.

We’re back doing our best to keep the world from ending. Niki hates all of you, but loves Prototype 2. Pete talks about Arkham City’s eventual shark-jumping, then promptly dies (or does he?) Adam talks Dragon’s Dogma, The Walking Dead, and why you shouldn’t base your life off of warnings shouted at you by random vagrants in alleys. Dan questions the choices in his life that have led him to this (not audibly.)

This week the gang’s all together to talk Sboners, Cheeto-sinusitis, K-Stew’s contributions to string theory, Bubb Rubb, and the existential properties of space, spaceships, and Ship Shipley. There’s also some talk of Mass Effect 3, Resistance 1 and 2, Killzone 2 and 3, and Batman: Arkham City.

Adam and Pete grace your earholes with organic carnivorous vehicles, problem solving the Bash way, robo-envy, Fatal Frame 2′s fatal flaws, I Am Alive, Batman: Arkham City, FEZ, and the best solution for humanity’s impending collapse: the ArkCar.

I kind of don’t know where to begin with this one. I think we talked about I Am Alive for a while, and some about used games, and a little bit about the future of mobile gaming. But amidst that all I really remember is the stuff about strippers, Paulie D, icepops, Showbiz Pizza, and the pending robot revolution.

This episode of Fall Damage podcast features adult situations.

We overcome all this week to bring you the best sounding Fall Damage ever. On the agenda: terrifying your family with April Fool’s Day pranks, pajama complainants, Pete talks about finally finishing Skyward Sword, Adam details his new TV crime drama starring Idris Elba as an undead coroner, Dan gets ridicarus on Kid Icarus, and Niki ruins Pete’s dreams of Silent Hill: Downpour.

Also, if you want to play Raptus, the game Adam mentions in passing, here you go.

You may have heard, technological disaster struck the Fall Damage crew this week. All that was salvaged is what you hear here, which includes all our pre-show chit-chat to boot. If you haven’t played Journey, skip ahead to 8:30 when we start mentioning the game (around 3:15).

It was later determined by everyone (except Pete) that Fraggle Rock is NOT the greatest theme song of all time.

Chewy goodness is the name of the game as Adam, Dan, and Pete talk palindromes, Val Kilmer movies, downloading on the PSN, Fatal Frame 2, Mass Effect 3, I Am Alive, and topless candy manufacturing.

What would happen if technology revolted against us and stole away every digital record of our existence? We ponder that thought experiment as a robo-rebellion robs us of Niki. The rest of the crew talks about Mass Effect 3, Street Fighter X Tekken, and Brick Force.

If there are moments when we seem to reply to questions that were never asked, that’s your clue that at one time Niki existed!

It’s a full house as the gang talks about Asura’s Wrath, Alan Wake, Vessel, bodily injury, and procreation. We also geek out quite a bit over the early Assassin’s Creed 3 images.
