Molehill Mountain Episode 18 – We’re Good Because We’re Not Bad

Published September 19, 2016 by Andrew Eisen

EZK and I start out this week’s podcast talking about comic books, cause why not? We then continue Kicking the Bucket List, revealing super interesting things about ourselves such as whether we’ve ever been in the back of a police car and which celebrities we’ve met (14:40) and finally discuss how Sega and Capcom earned internet cookies this week by, respectively, not DMCA-ing a fan game and announcing no microtransactions in Resident Evil VII (44:40).

Positive feedback is a wonderful thing but are our expectations of the AAA game industry really so low that we celebrate companies simply for not doing the things we hate?

Molehill Mountain Episode 16 – Fan Game Fun

Published September 6, 2016 by Andrew Eisen

This week, EZK and Andrew discuss the topic they were supposed to discuss last week. Better late than never, eh?

24:14 – Paramount issues a set of guidelines governing what Star Trek fan films can and can’t do (http://www.startrek.com/fan-films)

OMG! Did Nintendo just inDIRECTly announce Skyward Sword HD?!!!

Published September 1, 2016 by Andrew Eisen

Nintendo aired its 3DS-focused Direct presentation this morning and one thing stuck out as odd to me.

“We’re happy to announce that the original version of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will be releasing today on the Nintendo eShop on Wii U.”

The “original version,” eh? Well, that’s an peculiar way to phrase that announcement considering there’s only one version of Skyward Sword…

Sorry fanboys, tomorrow ain’t the day for Nintendo NX info

Published August 31, 2016 by Andrew Eisen

The Nintendo NX.

We know almost nothing official about Nintendo’s “dedicated game platform with a brand-new concept” other than what I just put in quotes. That’s pretty much all the Big N has revealed about the sucker and we learned that a year and a half ago. It’s been radio silence ever since and rabid Nintendo fanboys like me have been DYING for new info. Nintendo said it would reveal more about the NX in 2016. Well, we still have four months left in the year and many think September is the month Nintendo will finally lift the curtain.

Yesterday, Nintendo announced a Nintendo Direct for September 1st. Is this it? Is it FINALLY time to learn about the NX?

No.

Because why not?

Published August 22, 2016 by Andrew Eisen

On this week’s show Andrew and EZK continue through the Bucket List and discover a few things that Zachary has done that Andrew has not (27:04)! Zachary reveals his picks for a prospective SNES Classic Edition game lineup (42:55) then Andrew shares his (1:00:56). They cap it off by going through their viewers’ copious recommendations of awesome SNES games (1:40:28).

Did I say we capped it there? Oops. Andrew finishes out the show by talking a bit about his approach to the use of profanity and potentially offensive humor in his YouTube videos (2:02:14).

But why wait for Nintendo to announce an official product? Let’s come up with our own list of 30 SNES games for the assumed SNES Classic Edition!

We Pick Our Own Game Lineup for the NES Classic Edition

Published August 16, 2016 by Andrew Eisen

On November 11th, Nintendo will release the NES Classic Edition in the US for $59.99 (the UK version launches for a similar price around the same time). The mini retro console will include 30 classic NES games and while we all have our favorites, most everyone agrees it’s a pretty solid list of titles.

Still, the RandomTower crew thought it would be fun to come up with our own lists of 30 NES games and revealed them on last week’s podcast. For convenience’s sake, I’ve reproduced our lists below so you can compare them to Nintendo’s. Games not on the original list are highlighted in red.
