Player One Podcast: Episode 02 - 11/06/2006

 #PlayerOnePodcast Re-Re-Listen

Episode 02 - Listened on 11/25/2022

Aired 11/06/2006

- Episode 2 means they are no longer a flash in the pan, and might keep going.

- The first appearance of the "What We've Been Playing" segment:

- Greg and CJ aren't enjoying Final Fantasy 12. They don't know they are getting older and will fall away from massive JRPGs

- Greg is enjoying LEGO Star Wars 2, even though "it is made for kids."

- Greg is a free-lance game reviewer and is playing "Strawberry Shortcake"

- Viva Pinata cartoon looks stupid. 

- EA is selling microtransactions. Will it ever stop or will it expand to other publishers?

- Wii's Marketplace has a nice selection of Genesis games. Hopefully Nintendo won't trickle out future releases and you'll be able to transfer these purchases to future consoles.

- CJ & Greg allude to a magazine that would give favorable reviews to import games they sold, but won't name it. I will: Dave Halverson's GameFan!

- These early episodes have little kickers after the outro. Crispin would have meltdowns when he was snipped in Halo.

Mike's thoughts: The little outros are more like the modern version of the show, willing to go off on silly tangents.
