Oreo and Cue recap the latest episodes of Hunt the Truth… We had gotten a little behind, so we listened live to Ep. 3,4, and 5. Sorry for the lame podcast… But all this hunting for truth takes up a lot of air time!    Hunt the truth recap Hunt the Truth Ep 3: Ray Curzig proved things are getting twisted Jacob walker is on a “beach” Master Chief was described as “inhuman” and a “monster” John-117 fought four ODST at the same time… and WON Master Chief was augmented as a child The boxing coach lied… There was no boxing??   Hunt the Truth Ep 4:  Basically a Filler Episode Did they hear Ben on Waypoint? Is he going to die soon and this podcast will be over? obviously not… This is a fictional story in a fictional universe… BUT Has everything been a lie this entire time? The rumors and lies start to pile high ODST and ONI don’t get along. Somebody has been tagging the ‘MC’ posters Nobody stepped foot near the ONI HQ, not even birds! the military rumor circling is that Master Chief is a “traitor”  Hunt the Truth Ep 5: Ben had to visit ONI HQ Ben meets with “Sully” worried that they heard his Waypoint conversation Chief took augmentations, like everyone else in the ‘Spartan’ Program John was faster, stronger, smarter than everyone else the ONI may be worried what the Chief can do Ben is ordered to transfer his raw files within 24 hours Ben was “fired” by the ONI Ben is placed onto an ONI flight to return home On the flight he runs into the Beach goer, Jacob Walker Ben approaches him, and Walker turns white in surprise Ben is sedated, and taken home Ben’s com-pad recorded the whole thing Jacob Walker said “Have a safe trip… Ben” This caused Ben to ignore ONI, and upload the podcast online What do you think is going to happen Next?    We want to hear what you little piglets think!!  Gives us your thoughts on the Facebook Page!    Media: Intro: Halo 5 Beta Menu Music   The post Halo – Hunt the truth 3,4,5 recap appeared first on Pigspod Gaming Podcast.

Special guest Switch Jackson joins us for another Destiny episode. We actually got a little religious on this episode… VEX religion that is.  Cue suffers from madness, and brings us his fantastical conspiracies and theories around the Destiny lore, And Oreo is quick to disagree.  We also get into some of the reveals Bungie gave us on the new House of Wolves expansion pack.   Welcome to the Drunken Halo Podcast… Okay, not really. But we enjoy giving them a hard time. And we can get away with it because they don’t listen to the show.    Vex Religion?? Listen to the podcast at about 25 minutes in… Cue’s points: They worship They bow down… And not because of Solar panels. The vex are human?? There was a comment about vex being biological vex worship atheon, and are bowing in the black garden machines would understand there is no god grimoire cards Mic drop!! I can’t believe Cue dropped the mic. That thing costs money bro! What is this Madness!! As you can tell… Everyone, including us, is coming around to the fact that Bungie can make an excellent story. Unfortunately they have hidden it in online reading materials. We will try our best with these Destiny episodes to unravel the conspiracy.   “I’m still pretty sure they are bowing to recharge” -Oreo     Do you think the Vex are religious? Humans from the future?  We want to hear what you little piglets think!!  Gives us your thoughts on the Facebook Page!    Media: Gamers Run it Intro/outro:  Credit to Eugene Lumar       The post Reef or Madness: Destiny special appeared first on Pigspod Gaming Podcast.

We are here to provide that Convention Wisdom you so desperately need. So why should you go to conventions? are they lame? NOPE  are the people smelly and gross? NOPE… Ok some, but not all. And the hot chicks are there and naked as legally possible.  The only thing that really matters from this episode is that Cue got an Exclusive interview with R2D2!! It is probably the highlight of his whole life! Definitely a Highlight of the episode… Just look at that cute little guy, talking to that Dad gamer guy at the SciFi con.     The main purpose of this episode is to try and encourage everyone to go to their local Convention. Whether it is a small con, or that big popular Comic Con you have heard of. There are plenty of reasons you need to swing by the convention center next time the nerds are in town. Hot chicks… need I say more? Your fantasy world (or whatever you are a fan of) comes to life Feel like a kid again… Better than dialysis for old people! Weapons!  Legal weapons! Amazing and beautiful females in almost no clothing! Celebrities… sometimes Meet cool people into the same Passion that you are Just go! Quit asking questions. People watching/cosplay There are two types of Cosplay worth seeing at a convention…   The funny:   Chicas:     Still not convinced?  Well why on earth are you scared of Cons? Is it the threat of being TOO awesome?  We want to hear what you little piglets think!!  Gives us your thoughts on the Facebook Page!    Media: Sci Fi Convention Song Intro/outro:  Credit to Tom Wilson   Email: For those that don’t like comments, or voicemail.

  The Halo Hype is real… But is the story of Chief real? Is he really a traitor? Should we all jump on the Locke train and let them kill off the chief!? Join us for our discussion as we try to decipher 343’s plan.   Halo Hype What is the “bigger” picture? Halo Nightfall was clearly a campaign to get us liking Locke, as a loveable, huggable teddy bear.   ONI and UNSC have been altering chiefs image since the beginning… Exhibit 1: Original Image UNSC/ONI notes to the photographer Final Publicly Released Image   Is Master Chief simply a tool for UNSC to spread hope? Or was he a scapegoat from the beginning?     Halo 5 story??? Most likely the war will be calm, and people will be looking for an answer to why so many loved ones are gone… It was HIM!! Now get back under our umbrella of power, oh and taxes and junk are due again. We here at pigspod are under the impression that Originally Master Chief was supposed to be a Hero to spread hope and keep people believing in their military effort… After the war starts to settle and the body count has piled up he is the easy target to point fingers at. ONI are now looking to put him down and gain back power in all the chaos…      What do you think this big “Mystery” is?    We want to hear what you little piglets think!!  Gives us your thoughts on the Facebook Page!    Media: Intro/outro:  Credit to Lindsey Stirling       Subscribe:             VVV   OREO has a gaming Channel!!   VVV Click to Watch and Subscribe!   Email: For those that don’t like comments, or voicemail.

  Hunt the Truth, or Hunt the savior of the Universe? Cue and Oreo try to figure out why Master Chief is labeled a traitor. We touch on Sex robots, John as an orphan, why he is in a desert in a cloak, and listen to the new clips from the journalist covering the master chief story    What is a Foreruner War Sphinx? War Sphinxes were midsize Forerunner fighting suits used during the time of the Human-Forerunner Wars.  The War Sphinxes were described as being ten meters high and twenty long, with an elongated tail that provided lift and power. From the “tail” rose a large rounded torso with a command cabin perched on top. The command cabin was designed to resemble a Forerunner face, with features arranged in an angry or stern expression and two viewports serving as “eyes”. They also had limbs, with joints of hard light. Much like Onyx Sentinels, two sphinxes could also merge to create a larger unit, which still retained a similar “face” at the forward surface.   If you have lived in a cave for the last year and a half and have somehow missed the Halo 5 Teaser, here it is. also, you should try and get out more!!    Watch Closely!! What is that ‘Familiar’ thing in the background while Locke and the Arbiter are talking? Could this be the vehicle they used to find him? Could they know where he is and that he has found a War Sphinx? How does it all link together? Hunt the Truth What does it all mean!? Why in all of humanity would anyone ever consider chief a “traitor”? Is it simply because he went awol? Does chief owe millions on Sex robots he ordered? Is Halsey somehow involved in framing Master Chief? How many sexbots receive Cupgrades?  We want to hear what you little piglets think!!  Gives us your thoughts on the Facebook Page!    Media: Intro/outro:  Credit to the fine people that made xfiles… Which is coming back BTW.     Subscribe:             VVV   OREO has a gaming Channel!!   VVV Click to Watch and Subscribe!   Email: For those that don’t like comments, or voicemail.

Is Destiny an FPS or MMO?  Cue and oreo agree to disagree… Destiny is a Social shooter, which is just another way to call it an MMO. Yes you can play it by yourself, but its designed and plays a lot like World of Warcraft. Does this make it a bad game? No! Bungie has delivered on (mostly) everything they promised, and has given us a great MMO on consoles. Finally a veteran console gamer, like oreo, can delve in the MMO world.   Hot Topics of the Episode! We’re all gamers, Move on!! Who cares which type of game you like to play. Its an MMO, no matter how you skin the Destiny cat PC players are offended, console players are surprised Destiny has extreme, untapped, potential Cue is still an alcoholic. This is what Cue was drinking while recording this weeks episode!   Destiny was designed to slowly release content DLC will bring players back to the game Crucible is a great multiplayer experience Oreo hates special ammo crates Cue just hates that its called “Special” ammo   Oreo’s Take on Crucible: Bungie has done an excellent job at bringing us an entirely new game with that same classic “kill” feel that they brought to life with the Halo series. The big problem with these big shooters (Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Gears of War) is that they neglect player engagement. The developers have relied too much on us as players to properly play the game. Unfortunately players today come in one of three types. Aggressive Campers and the Rare, Play it like it was meant to be played. You are meant to run around the map, shoot at people, and use your SKILLS to get kills. I don’t mean that you should never be aggressive or even camp. I am more focusing on the fact that certain players choose to do one or the other, and thats it. That is there go-to game style, and they will not adjust to the game. Unfortunately I am always paired (in Destiny) against campers with shotguns, and teamed up with aggressive idiots that feed them snacks all day. By simply adding in an incentive that forces these idiots to adjust game style, you create a more dynamic and enjoyable game for ALL players. This incentive can be something as simple as an invisability pickup (Like in Halo 3) or a heavy ammo Crate which spawns on a set timer at a set destination. This gives gamers a new location to move to, and forces them to adjust to go for this new objective that pops up during their normal match. If you can capitalize on this “incentive” and make sure everyone knows about it, and wants to approach it, then you have a successful shooter. (This is one reason Halo 5 has a huge possibility to be great.)   on a side not… Call of Duty plays to both game styles (Aggressive, and campers) and can be fun, but it seems tailored to the camper gamestyle and offers very little to force dynamic gameplay. Its a simple game with simple players doing simple things… Running and shooting.  To me that is boring, and doesnt give me that same sense of accomplishment that a game like Halo or Destiny does. But if you enjoy Call of Duty, more power to you!     Destiny 2 may actually just be more expansion packs. (similar to World of Warcraft) The only reason to release an entire new Destiny game is when the next xbox Drops Until a new xbox, we can easily survive on quality expansion packs Special ammo crates should not exist If Destiny was cross-platform… It would be the best game EVER! Where’s the love!?   Can Destiny become the next big FPS title?  Gives us your thoughts on the Facebook Page!    Media: Intro/outro:  Credit to Joker for creating it     Subscribe:             VVV   OREO has a gaming Channel!!   VVV Click to Watch and Subscribe!   Email: For those that don’t like comments, or voicemail.

    We are joined by Zack from the podtacular community to discuss games they wasted money on and threw in the trash. Soo many games, soo little time, and so much money wasted! What games were you wanting, and they gave up on? Games that hit the Garbage:       Thrill Kill – Thrill Kill is a cancelled and unpublished 1998 fighting video game for the Sony PlayStation. Gameplay consisted of a closed 3D room where up to four opponents would fight to the death, and proceed to finish each other off with Thrill Kills, much like the fatalities of Mortal Kombat. Every attack made will result in a character’s bloodlust to rise. Instead of the usual life bar, characters build up a “kill meter”. Once this meter was full, and therefore bloodlust at its strongest, a player’s character would be electrocuted to give them superhuman strength enabling a Thrill Kill move to brutally slay an opponent, depending on what button was pressed upon grabbing someone. Why was it cancelled: Original developer, Virgin interactive, was bought out by EA. And they deemed it inappropriate.     Prey 2 – Prey 2 is a cancelled[2] first-person shooter video game published by Bethesda Softworks. It would have been the sequel to the 2006 video game Prey. It’s an FPS game with non traditional mechanics. Such as the abilities to slow time, and alter gravity… And it comes with a multitude of futuristic weapons and Tech! In Prey 2 you would have played as a human bounty hunter with Amnesia. (Surprise. Another amnesia story) as he attempted to uncover his past while recovering bounties for clients. Why was it cancelled: After 6 years in development it was cancelled because it didnt meet Bethesda’s Quality standards.     Star Fox 2 – It was to be the second of the Star Fox series and the direct sequel to Star Fox. he Japanese version was completely finished except for minor debugging tools that weren’t yet removed. It is unknown if there are any complete official English versions, though an unofficial fan translation exists. Star Fox 2 continued the battle against Emperor Andross who seeks to conquer the Lylat system, with the Star Fox team assembled once again to defeat him. The game introduces a new semi-real time gameplay system, featuring new ship types and two new Star Fox team members. It also features a more advanced 3D game engine thanks to a new improved version of the Super FX powered GSU-2     The premise of Star Fox 2 is markedly different from its predecessor: Instead of following mostly linear paths inside predefined missions, the player moves a team of two ships freely around a map screen that represents the Lylat system.[3] When the player’s ships make contact with enemy forces, the game switches to an action perspective, piloting the Arwing ship directly with controls and game play similar to the first Star Fox. When the player clears the specified objectives, he or she is taken back to the map screen to select a new destination.[4] The objective of the game is to destroy all enemy forces present in the map while defending planet Corneria (located in the lower left corner of the map), preventing its damage level from reaching 100% due to enemy attacks.   Why was it cancelled: The game was shelved days before release due to the impending release of the Nintendo 64 and the desire to use the most advanced system available for a new Star Fox game.     Starcraft: Ghost – StarCraft: Ghost is a cancelled military science fiction stealth–action video game previously under development by Blizzard Entertainment. Ghost is a third-person shooter, and was intended to give players a closer and more personal view of the StarCraft universe. Following Nova, a Terran psychic espionage operative called a “ghost“, the game is set four years after the conclusion of StarCraft: Brood War and covers a conspiracy about a secretive military project conducted by Nova’s superiors in the imperial Terran Dominion. Honerable mention: Blizzard also cancelled MMOP “Titan” which they turned assets into FPS “Overwatch” Why was it cancelled: Several delays in development caused Blizzard to move back the release date and the game has not yet materialized. Nihilistic Software ceded development to Swingin’ Ape Studios in 2004 before Blizzard bought the company, and plans for the GameCube version were cancelled in 2005. Blizzard announced in March 2006 that the game is on “indefinite hold” while the company investigated seventh generation video game console possibilities.     Donkey Kong Racing – Donkey Kong Racing is a cancelled Donkey Kong game sequel to Diddy Kong Racing for the Nintendo GameCube. The teaser makes it seem as though animals are the main form of transportation. It also shows underwater racing. Not much else is known. Why was it Cancelled: Microsoft bought the rights to RARE, and decided not to do anything with what is known as a “nintendo game”     Mega Man – Capcom has cancelled not 1, or 2, but 4 Mega Man games! Seriously why bother any more? 1. Mega Man Legends 3 – Mega Man Legends 3, known as Rockman DASH 3. It’s a third person adventure / shooter game… Which honestly looks nothing like Mega man. But I guess Im not a Mega Fan. Why was it cancelled: No real reason was given… But maybe trying to reboot a 10 Year old game seemed a waste of money and with the Mega Man creative Keiji Inafune having left capcom, it will most likely never come about. Despite a group of 104k on facebook supporting the game.   Mega Man Maverick Hunter – A Mega Man first person Shooter. The game would have stayed true to core Mega Man X gameplay concepts, re-imagining his X-Buster arm cannon, his dash and his ability to appropriate the special powers of his fallen enemies. Platforming elements, including X’s wall jump, and classic Mega Man X characters would have been re-imagined in new ways. Why was it cancelled: It was deemed a significant gamble, and quietly killed before Keiji Inafune publicly exited Capcom in late 2010.   Mega Man Universe – A Sandbox version of Megaman. Allowing players to create and share classic 2d mega man worlds. Mainly based on Mega Man 2, the game would have allowed players to create their own levels and customize characters. It would have been the first game in the franchise to be referred to as “Mega Man” in Japan, where the franchise was always known as “Rockman”.   The game’s base story and main campaign will be based on those of Mega Man 2. In this game, however, players have the choice to construct their own levels, or customize existing levels, using various tools to place platforms, obstacles, enemies and items. These levels can be shared online for other people to play. Players can also customize their Mega Man with exchangeable parts and special chips which gives each Mega Man unique attributes, such as jumping height, available weapons, etc.[1] Alongside the customizable characters, the game offers several iterations of Mega Man, including one based on the North American NES box art of Mega Man, along with characters from other Capcom properties such as Ryu from Street Fighter and Arthur from Ghosts ‘n Goblins.[2] DLC was also planned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJhkMSMEnew   Mega Man Online : MMO – Rockman Online (??????) is a Korean MMORPG computer game announced in June 2010. Rockman Online takes place in the distant future, where the characters from the Mega Man and Mega Man X series had long since passed away, including the Maverick threat. Believing the threat of Mavericks are gone for good, society is taken by surprise one day when a large number of Mavericks began to wreak havoc. The game is a joint project of Capcom and Neowiz Games. The game was near the final stages… And then Nothing! nothing for several years. Why was it cancelled: Both companies have continually discussed to find agreeable points on quality, development time, communication and etc. Ultimately, both companies have agreed to stop the development of Rock Man Online last early November (2012)     Star Wars 1313 – Star Wars 1313 was an action-adventure video game under development by LucasArts. The game would take a more mature, gritty direction compared to past Star Wars video games and, like 2002’s Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, emphasize fast-paced gadget and weapon-based combat using tools exclusive to bounty hunters rather than Force and lightsaber-based combat. The game was supposed to revolve around Boba Fett in his early adulthood, navigating past the scum of civilization in an underground area of Coruscant known as Level 1313 (pronounced: “thirteen-thirteen”), and fulfilling his destiny as a full-fledged bounty hunter like his father. Why was it cancelled: On April 3, 2013, it was announced that The Walt Disney Company had closed down LucasArts and ceased internal development of all their projects, including Star Wars 1313. Company representatives have indicated that the game may be revived through a licensing deal with an outside studio, but until then Star Wars 1313 remains on hold. With Battlefront 3 on the horizon (Thanks to DICE)… One can hope that this too is being secretly forged in the dark depths of developers.       Honorable Mentions: Battlefield 1942 – For xbox. Its available on PC Crackdown for original Xbox – Its on xbox 360 Duke Nukem forever – Released… the game was released in 2011 after 15 years of development Fallout Online : Interplay’s rights to developing and publishing this game have been the subject of a legal dispute between Bethesda Softworks, the current owner of the Fallout franchise, and Interplay. An out-of-court settlement was reached in January 2012, in which Bethesda received full rights to the Fallout online game for two million dollars. Heroes: The Video Game Driver 5 : this original vision for the game would have incorporated destructible environments of some sort. The Avengers – a cancelled first person co-op beat ‘em up game that was planned to  be released alongside the 2012 superhero movie of the same name. The project was under development at THQ Studio Australia (Studio Oz) until THQ decided to close it. It was being worked on for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC; with further plans for a Wii U release. This is Vegas – Direct Competition for GTA:  This Is Vegas was cancelled when publisher Midway ran into financial trouble and, er, went bust.

We discuss the Halo 5 Beta Pros and Cons. Almost every little detail is covered! We also hint multiple times at the second Beta that should be coming later this year.   Topics in this Episode: Cons: Matchmaking is Broken… Again No recoil (This might actually be a good thing) SMG is overpowered AR range is too far Control Schemes are too complex (Until you get used to it) Controller Schemes for Halo 5:Guardians BETA are pictured below   No good control Scheme carried over from Halo 4 No grenade indicator Grenades are EASY to shoot out of the air Everyone knows when and where POWER weapons are They need to lessen the frequency of ‘announcements’ Hydra comes with too much ammo (on Regret) Rocket Launcher design Sucks!! Sniper is hard to get kills with Sniper ‘Scope’ design is terrible! Killing in General seems harder Have to Lead targets No magnet or aim assist No hint at a clan system If 343 is serious about Halo and wants to bring it back… They HAVE to institute a new clan (outfit) system in Halo 5.       These below are already said to be fixed… But are current problems I found in the BETA Having to Dashboard to restart “search” Ranking system is broken (to an extent) Your footsteps are too loud BR site “horns”   Overall UI (Minor changes, but overall changed)   Pros: Excellent fuckin map design These may be some of the best maps we have seen since Halo 3!! Seemless forge mapping MEDALS! Great Graphics 60 FPS (Once you get used to it) No annoying music while “Searching” Great sound Design Weapons are well balanced (Besides AR range, and SMG OP)   Halo 5: Guardians Beta Controller Schemes:  Turns out I was completely wrong about what I said on the episode… The layouts are exactly the same carried over… I was confusing Destiny “Jumper” Control layout, which is the closest to Halo 5 “Fishstick”   Comparison Button Layouts:         Media: Intro Snippet:  Credit to Euee   Outro Song: Credit to Nocturnal Emissions        Gives us your thoughts on the Facebook Page!   Subscribe:             VVV   OREO has a gaming Channel!!   VVV Click to Watch and Subscribe!   Email: For those that don’t like comments, or voicemail.
