4PP 157 – The Spoiler Alert Show
Due to an unfortunate technological failure, the first podcast of the evening was lost but never fear, our lengthy spoiler discussion of Mass Effect 2/Dragon Age Origins is safe! SPOILER WARNING! We discuss our experiences and opinions of ME2, the events of our individual endings, and the obvious effects that the game will have on Mass Effect 3. After that, we delve into comparisons between two high profile Bioware games and discuss what makes each of them unique and equally impressive.
Is It Fair to Call this Game “Xenoblade”?
Oh look guys! It’s a new “Xeno” game from the makers of Xenogears and Xenosaga. I can’t wait! Oh wait, that looks a lot like that other game I saw at E3 last year. Wait… wasn’t that called something else?
Yeah, the game was previously announced and shown last year at E3 as Monado: Beginning of The World. Now they’re calling it “Xenoblade”. Is this deception?

I finally received confirmation of my approval for my E3 2010 media badge today. Mark your calendars for June 15-17th because 4PP will be in Los Angeles to cover the event and record some very special E3 podcasts! June can’t come soon enough! Once again, thank you so much to all of our listeners/readers, without you this wouldn’t be possible. Last year was our first year attending E3 so we really had no idea what we were doing, this year, we aim to bring you more coverage in more organized manner. Anyways, thanks again guys!

The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom
Ever since the 2008 Independent Games Festival, I’ve had an eye on The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom. It showed plenty of promise and had me hooked when it told me I could “disrupt the space-time continuum, and steal tons of pie…” Now, nearly two years later, the game is released and I’m ready for my mind to be turned into a pie and baked for Mr. Winterbottom to steal (or something else slightly less gross to signify mental challenge).
