Series 3, Episode 7 - OnLive, Game Testing and Team Fortress 2
Posted on 7th Sep 2009 at 17:36 by Podcast with 15 comments
In the third gaming-only CustomPC and bit-tech podcast we talk about the theory behind OnLive, Sony's new PlayStation 3 reality TV show 'The Tester' and the controversies that have broken out around Valve's new anti-cheat measures in Team Fortress 2.
Moving on from that we recap on what we've all been up to lately, from playing with the Novint Falcon to taking a look at the much-delayed Battlefield 2 patch.

On top of all that we discuss what the difference is between someone who delivers packages and someone who cooks curry for a living, why wolves are exciting and why we should never record a podcast before lunch. Alex and Joe also narrowly avoid coming to blows when discussing The Beatles: Rock Band.
We've also got all the usual prizes and competitions, plus we're asking you all for questions and ideas to be featured in the next gaming podcast - so send your queries to Podcast-at-CustomPC-dot-co.uk, or simply drop them in the comments thread if you haven't got the hang of all this 'email' malarkey just yet.

Hedley!
Lol, I KNEW I knew that name from somewhere!
And did I hear the beginnings of a Dylan Moran joke in there...?
And no Mark, I'm not a hobbit, although that comment did make me laugh
You do make your own Hopcroft beer though, right?
You are sending us some for us to review, right?
Along with cheesecake, right?
You weren't the only entry and glad you enjoyed the game!
I wasn't joking about the beer and cheesecake
Two kegs of finest Hopcroft beer are already in the post, along with some quality cheesecake for your delectation! ;)
Actually, in all seriousness, they have a home brewery section where I work, maybe I should check it out
:D
Congrats mate =)
In a recent blog post you recommended "Games to play with your children" but as one honest poster pointed out, when we were young we all played Doom, didn't we? What's not graphic and violent about that? Or Duke Nukem, even. Even a Diablo 3 developer recently admitted that he had shown the game to his 7 year old daughter, because he wants her to see what he does at work.
So; did you ever play 18 rated games when you were below that age when you were younger? Do you think that they have adversely affected you or it's a load of molly coddling nonsense? What is your opinion on the issue of what games are appropriate for children of what ages?
Any more questions or topics, chuck them in here or send them to me or the official podcast address.
