Co-Opticast Episode 7: The Story is Surprisingly Good

The holiday season is over for buying games, so we discuss playing them. Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty, and others are on the table. We even talk about a surprise single player game, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.

There's even a bit for the developers to listen to about some standards in co-op gaming, what makes the cut and what is simply a shortcut.

Ready to test your might against the co-op gods? Listen to Episode 7.

I apologize for sounding so down during this episode, I had some bad shit happen right before we recorded so I wasn't in the best of spirits.

Cheer up, Mike, it's almost Christmas! Bah, I'm sorry...blissful cheeriness is the most annoying thing when you're upset. Hope you feel better. As usual, I'll listen on my way home tonight.

It sounded fine, I liked it.I loved the part your wife not recognizing you, when you showed up was there another man there she though was her husband?Anyway, I would like to hear you discuss why Co-op seems to be on the rise and why the majority of, for now, developers are not putting a lot of effort into it.

I'm having some technical difficulties with the Zune stream and are hoping it resolves itself. Zune recently had an update, version 3.1, and I'm wondering if that somehow impacted my having the show update automatically through the Zune software.I even tried unsubscribing and subscribing all over again as sometimes that seems to resolve this type of issue. Didn't work this time however.I'll post more if in fact I can't get it to work but more than likely it's just me or my home PC at this point.

I've had a problem with Winamp myself, but not with this.I subscribed to a LOT of podcasts and then while the computer is still on I check and they are ALL gone. That really Ped me off.

I never got the Zune software to download the podcast, either. First time I've had an issue with it.

What do you guys think about Games for Windows multiplayer being free, while the PS3 and the Wii, as far as I know, do not charge for multiplayer games. But Microsoft still charges for the Xbox 360.That really makes me mad, they remove charging for multiplayer for Games for Windows, but still chargiing for the 360.

Still no luck with the Zune software. Apparently there's an issue somewhere as the rest of my podcasts are working well and aren't having this same issue.

I hope this works with Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars. There's a lot of multiplayer goodness to have in it.
