\nHosts: Crunch Buttsteak<\/a>, Reb Brown<\/a>, Buff Drinklots<\/a>, Stump Chunkman<\/a> and Lump Beefbroth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you’re curious about the names of the hosts, then you should probably watch this<\/a>. Or better yet watch the Space Mutiny Episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000<\/a>, which is on Netflix even as I type these words to you<\/em>. Like, why are you even listening to this show? The mind reels.<\/p>\n

A friendly reminder that if you’ve got a question for us, the Diecast email address is there in the header image. Also, I have to admit that maybe a couple of these questions might have been surreptitiously added by members of the cast. <\/p>\n

0:10:28: Mailbag: Surprise Games<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hi y’all,<\/p>\n

since EA’s check cleared there’s been massive amounts of publicity going
\naround for ME: Andromeda.<\/p>\n

And, in return, it’s been on the receiving end of vicious mockery.<\/p>\n

Have you guys ever been pleasantly surprised from a game that looked terrible
\nin pre-release ads and such?<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/p>\n

-Tim<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We also get sidetracked talking about Game of Thrones for some reason?<\/p>\n

0:22:19: Mailbag: Stealth Games<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Diecast <\/p>\n

Some protagonists in stealth games can be played as either rampant murderers or pacifists, like all of the Snakes in Metal Gear Solid, Corvo or Adam Jensen. When you think of them, do you imagine the “true” version is them being largely non-lethal(Only killing the obligatory targets like bosses) or them killing hundreds? <\/p>\n

Love, Punished “Venom” Christopher<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
