Gaming 19 - Come Knife With Me
Posted on 17th Dec 2010 at 15:08 by Podcast with 15 comments
It's the end of another week and with it comes another podcast to help you fill the empty canvas that is the weekend. This week saw Harry, Joe, Paul and returning team member Ben Hardwidge sit down to discuss the latest goings on and happenings in the world of gaming.
First on the agenda was our thoughts on the results of the bit-gamer game of the year vote. Joe and Harry were both pretty happy with the game that nabbed the top spot but we also talk about some of the games that we thought would be higher but weren’t.
We also took the chance to look forward to next year and the big releases that are on the horizon with Mass Effect 3, The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim and Deus Ex: Human Revolution all highlighted as ones we’re particularly looking forward to. Joe also talks about some of the latest mobile games that he’s been playing.
As usual we also announce the winners of last week’s gaming podcast competition to knife Harry in a game of Call of Duty: Black Ops. Congratulations to the two winners, who will both be getting a bag of loot from our labs.
Its always nice to see Harry get picked on in an online FPS
Indeed, it appears that Harry enjoyed last week’s competition so much that he’s set the same competition again this week. He’s even managed to rope Paul into the fun too. To enter simply add Harry (bazmataz) or Paul (votelarry) on steam, snap a screenshot of you killing either of the two in a embarrassing way and send it in to podcast@custompc.co.uk. Make sure you put Gaming Podcast 19 in the subject line and remember to include your name. You can also use the same email address to ask us any questions you’d like answering or for suggesting areas for us to cover in the podcast.
The bit-tech games podcast features music by Brad Sucks and was recorded on Shure microphones. You can download the podcast direct, listen in browser or subscribe through itunes using the links below - be sure to let us know your thoughts in the forums.

Discuss in the forums ReplyUsually the article is sat in the site engine waiting to be proofed for this amount of time so you guys don't notice the wait but Joe was particularly on the ball with his proofing today.
Just give it a few minutes.
(EDIT) Its there now (15:38). If you still cant see it something may be up at your end.
i should have submitted screenshots taken in theatre mode, first person mode obviously isn't as good. and didn't get as feature screenshot.
here's a youtube video i made afterwards though.

completed it twice.... 5 hackers and a hardware engineer FTW! best scores, straight 10's... bow down :)
after hearing this pod cast, i've been playing this game for the whole weekend. only at year 10 at the moment.
It's addictive isn't it? My girlfriend hated it, said i was doing the "people who make app games" job's for them..... Didn't have the heart to explain.
just add them onto friends by using the add friend wizard:
bazmataz for Harry (he's addicted to Football manager whenever i look, hasn't seen him on Blops for the last few days, i might have missed him going on though)
votelarry for Paul (steam display name: Material, confused me for a few hours before i realised who this is)
For those who weren't aware, watch the locks as they move... if they've got an 'upwards' animation 1st rather then instantly dropping down, clicking quick enough will lock it into place.
Always buy the boosts from the salespeople too, they help, and aim to have a score of at least 1 category over 100 so the hype is higher :)
You gotta invest cash to get better returns basically:

Only thing i was disappointed by was making your own console, it doesn't make you much money at all. Guess its true to life then
