As soon as we came up with the podcast title for this week’s episode, I had a sudden urge for a sandwich. I could have asked my wife to make one for me, but I am particularly averse to getting slapped in the back of the head. “Stop Playing Tekken and Make Me A Sandwich” marks Episode 019 of Marooners’ Talk. We’re a day late because SOMEONE had to have a birthday yeste...[Read More]
I have a great fondness for shooting robots. Two of my favorite shooter experiences, 2010’s Vanquish and the very recent Binary Domain, are both focused on dismantling robots by way of bullet hell. That’s part of why, even though it’s a very different format and style than both of the aforementioned games, I’m very excited for Shoot Many Robots. I like shooting robots. Shoo...[Read More]
Going into last year’s E3, I was a bit skeptical about Binary Domain. I have an unashamedly vocal love affair with the 2010 SEGA-published Platinum Games third-person shooter Vanquish, and hesitated at the thought of another third-person shooter published by SEGA, set in the future against robots.

Now, you have to shoot the HELL out of Binary Domain’s robots in order to finally put them out of commission, but with the release of the new Core Weapons trailer, we can at least get a good look at what we’ll be shooti...[Read More]
When I first saw the trailer for Binary Domain a month or two ago, I thought to myself, “Hm. Did they just try to take Vanquish and make it a slower squad based shooter?” Now, Vanquish was one of my favorite games out of 2010, so this wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing; just an unoriginal thing. Luckily, from what I saw at E3, this is going to be something very different.
