Humpdate Takes ANOTHER Holiday

This article was written by: GamerEdie

The thoughts and opinions contained within this post/podcast are that of a member podcast and do not necessarily reflect those of Platform Nation. The content of each show is determined at their own discretion and may contain explicit content but part of what we strive for here at Platform Nation is to never interfere with the content of a member's show.

That’s the trouble with taking personal days. It’s kind of addictive.

Actually, here’s the deal. Planning and pulling off a Humpdate with a new co-host every week takes a lot of advance planning and a lot of extra support work — since there’s no Simon DI to sluff off the research to.

Last week, we had Fable 2. And now this week we have Fallout 3. These are two games that, in order to have something substantive to say about them, must be played a good long time.

So when monster, open-world titles come out, either listeners get a mid-week show or they get discussion of said monster title. Not both.

I made the decision for you, and I was selfish about it. I want to play the damn game, and honestly, I love you all very much, but nobody is going to stand in my way for this game. I mean, seriously, I’ve been waiting nearly three years for it.

So there you go. You know where you stand with me — at the moment, directly behind Fallout 3. I think you’d agree with me.

Next you’ll hear from me: GameHounds Episode 40.
