Technological failures abound, but the Fall Damage team prevails and provides some killer convo on Assassin’s Creed 2, Mass Effect 2, and Bayonetta. As the video stream goes off the rails, Mixmoff, Aevan, and Dr. Scares (with a little Cruz for good measure) power through to provide you the entertainment you’ve grown to tolerate love!
Two weeks ago I find myself deep in thought pondering over a question that was posted on our forums – “What is your personal greatest achievement in gaming?” After serious consideration and headaches, I could only come up with a single answer. I have absolutely no idea.
The successive migranes, however, did make me realise a dark little secret of my past as a gamer, specifically a gamer who prides himself on his knowledge of classic gaming and the wealth of experience under his belt.
I had never beaten a Megaman game.
A few short weeks ago, Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka ended his 16 year relationship with Konami. It appears he won’t be filing for unemployment anytime soon however, as Famitsu broke word that he has officially joined on with Suda51′s team at Grasshopper Manufacture. (via 1up)
Those in the know will remember Suda51 is currently in the works alongside Resident Evil mastermind Shinji Mikami to create an as yet unannounced horror title for the Wii, PS3, 360, and PC. With the music of Yamaoka now behind this new venture, it looks like survival horror fans have something to be very very excited about!
So we’ve been doing this for a couple weeks now, and I think we’ve got most of the kinks worked out! If your entertainment calendar is free for Wednesday at 6:30pm (CST) head over to our chat to watch the livestream of our newest podcast episode. (fall-damage.com/forums/chat)
To get an idea of how it’s looking these days, here’s a random snippet from last week’s show. Mass Effect 2 goodness starts about a minute into it.
All the more reason to look forward to traversing the depths of Hell this spring; Dante’s Inferno DLC promises Co-op and Content Creation [For Both 360 and PS3].
What does this mean for my excitement level for the most salacious game of the season? Oh, it’s sky-rocketing. Most hack-and-slash games that have come out lately have all been well and good, but they haven’t been complete. Demon’s Souls lacked Content Creation; Bayonetta lacked both. The entertainment factor was there, but going above and beyond expectations with additional content besides new levels or new abilities was something they all seemed to fall short on.
For just a couple extra dollars to add a little more meat to my bone, I am definitely going to look into Trials of St. Lucia. [and you should too!]
Mass Effect 2: where else will you see aliens singing Gilbert and Sullivan?
Not ones to rest on their laurels of awesomeness, the Fall Damage crew is back again in full splendiferous video form! This week they talk Bayonetta, Critter Crunch, Mass Effect 2, and the upcoming game that is sure to be 2012′s Puzzle Game of the Year…. BRAID!*

*inside joke
Mass Effect 2 is big. Oh, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist, but etc., etc., more thinly veiled references to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
It’s a super special week on Fall Damage, as the entire show was streamed LIVE to our raving fans via our Justin.tv page!
This week Mixmoff, Aevan, and Dr. Scares talk Demon’s Souls, Bayonetta, Hexen, Mario Kart Wii, The Saboteur, and Persona!
