Maximum Utcast – 03 – Crazy Artificial Dreams of Donkey Kong and Mina the Hollower

Maximum Utcast is the flagship podcast for this blog where Zoey and Jonathan talk about videogame news and opinions in a free-wheeling format. Regular segments include discussion of kusoge as well as interviews with people involved in videogames from news writers and game developers to enthusiasts.

We pre-taped this episode so Daniel could skip town for a few days which meant we did one entirely without Jonathan–but fear not! We have an overstuffed episode with representatives from all parts of the animal kingdom, from the mighty Crazy Frog to the lowly Solid Snake as well as the tricky Donkey Kong and the strange Earthworm Jim. We maybe get to the bottom of who killed the Noid, and also talk a little bit about Rugrats. A Shy Fox stops by to give his thoughts on few recent game demos (Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales and Mina the Hollower) and we even get 2 kusoges for the price of one…it’s a deal you can’t beat!
