http://www.buzzsprout.com/255964/1406599-bog-016-aural-history-of-vehicular-comb..."Ever since Mad Max made wild car chases and weapon-strapped vehicle designs a part of mainstream culture, people have clamoured to get behind the wheel of their very own four-wheeled instrument of destruction. Neither of The Bastards could afford or engineer such a fine automobile, so they settled for acting out their high octane fantasies in video games instead.
This week, Xizor and SynthR walk through the history of vehicular combat games and its roots, with inspiration dating back to 1956. They talk about their favourite games of all time like Vigilante 8, Rogue Trip, Blur, Wipeout, Mario Kart and, of course, the beloved Twisted Metal franchise.
Later in the show, Xizor reports on his hilarious adventure in the tone-deaf and often offensive beat-em-up Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn, and SynthR gives his seal of approval for Ni No Kuni 2 and explains why he loves the rebirth and amazing writing in the Wolfenstein series by Bethesda."
