It’s Sunday and that means it’s time for another episode! This week Dialpex and Chevelle65 join us, fresh out of a Kane and Lynch community event. We cover a bunch of great customs and creations from the community, then we talk about their experience at the event and their thoughts on the game. Of course we also cover other valuable information such as what a headless chicken sounds like and the relative manliness of appletinis and sparkling water.

Podtacular’s hands-on impression of Kane & Lynch

After coming home to a non-working computer I had to wait till today, Monday, November 12, 2007, to post the Podtacular impressions of Kane & Lynch and also talk about the event we went to.

First of all, we all had an amazing time at Eidos. With representatives from several gaming communities, blogs and other review sites, we all had the opportunity to meet up, talk about video games and check out this Kane & Lynch game that some people have been talking about. The event started with a nice diner on Wednesday night. It was great to get together with the folks from Eidos Jennie, David, and Stanley, to talk about games, our expectations of the game and other video game related topics. It was a great night and a heck of a great time!

Unfortunately, JVB got held up at work this week, but we’ve got a pretty cool show with Rodsmack from XBL 10K Club, MaesterGXL, leader of the Podtacular All-Stars, and of course CapnKrunk with this month’s voice mails. We cover tons of cool tales from the foxhole sent in by listeners this week. There were some really great screenshots to choose from in the gallery but I had to take one from the recent humpday challenge. Show’s about 1:22. Enjoy!
