Weekend Confirmed 99 - Double Fine, Reckoning, Cell HD: emergence
by Jeff Mattas, Feb 10, 2012 11:00am PSTRegular hosts Garnett Lee and Jeff Cannata are away attending to other business, but producer DelRio steps in to shepherd Xav from Joystiq, Christian Spicer, and "Indie" Jeff Mattas through a number of topics. The insanely successful start to indie developer Double Fine's attempt at crowd-funding is discussed, a multitude of listener comments and feedback are addressed, and there's even some time left over to talk about games like Reckoning and Skyrim, and indies like Cell HD: emergence, and Gunpoint.

Shackers, what are your white whales of gaming?
What are those accomplishments you obsessively try and try again to achieve and it just never seems to happen? Maybe it's a game you love that you just can't finish, or a game you want to love but just can't get the hang of. Maybe it's as specific as a certain achievement you've been trying to years to unlock, or as broad as wanting to get into a certain genre.
I'll start
- I want to get into Pac Man: Championship Edition, and I just can't. I love the game, I think it's fantastic, but try as I might, I just can't get good at it, at all. My score fluctuates between pitiful and laughably pitiful, and I have no idea what I did differently to cause some games to turn out better than others. I've watched videos, asked for help on forums, you name it, nothing I do seems to break through.
- I want to one day actually finish an Atlus RPG. Sometimes it's just a matter of circumstances, but most of the time, I just flat out hit a brick wall. For the longest time, it was Strange Journey, which I'd pick up, give up out of frustration, then try again a little later, get a bit farther, give up again, and so on. By the time I quit the game for good, Devil Survivor: Overclocked came out and pretty much took Strange Journey's place. I know I'm very close to the end of this one, but I'm as stuck as ever.
I think I might one day manage my way through Baroque (technically a Sting RPG, published by Atlus) but only if I follow a guide pretty much step by step. Don't even get me started on The Dark Spire.
(Radiant Hystoria, on the other hand, didn't have this problem, but I just never had a chance to get back into it before losing my copy.)
- Three words: Shiren the Wanderer. I love this game, I love the fact that you die a lot, and each death is kind of like a discreet playthrough, only with a few side benefits that carry over. That said, beating this game can't be THAT hard, but I've been at it off and on for years.
and lastly
- The "hell run" in Cave Story. Some of you know what I'm talking about.

The funny thing is that I really WANT to love them. They seem so up my alley, but I think I'm so weaned on Zelda that I can't get past the differences to enjoy the similarities. So far I've played them both at least five times for about four hours each and then given up.
