An old episode of the Cook Chase we discovered in our archives.
In The XIXth Cookchase Podcast, Gabriel, Roger, and Dan 'CookChase' discuss the news from the last week (a bit), but mainly spend the podcast with two features. The first is called 'Ye Cooke Chase' (also called Retro Cook Chase) in which we listen to an audio-cast cassette from our archives, made by old Mojo staff members discussing the news of that week. We want you, the listeners, to e-mail in with your guesses about what year we took that 'audio-cast' from. Send your thoughts to podcast[at]mixnmojo[dot]com.

Secondly, we go into another 'Impossible Sound Competition' (also known as 'What's that noise?') featuring two clips from LucasArts games. The first one we try to guess, but the second one is for you to guess (please send in your ideas to the same address). It's a tough one this week!

This is also our penultimate show for a while, and we've decided to go out with a bang (quite literally)... Tune in next week for the exciting conclusion to this week's EXPLOSIVE cliff-hanger!

    As long as the last episode of Season 1 is not a damn prequel about why JustAdventure+ sent you a bomb thread that leavs the exploding gabriel storyline for Season 2, I'm fine with it.

    Figured it out! At Gator Golf in Sam and Max Hit the Road, if you hit a fish into one of the eyes of the skull it makes that evil laugh.

    That sound can't be anything other than Bowser in Super Mario 64.

    Damn, this sound has truly stumped me. I went through all the possibilities of what it could be: Nur-Ab-Sal, Chaos, Kerner/Ubermann (in God form), General Mohc in Dark Forces, the dragon in Sam and Max... all negative. Are you guys sure this was in a LucasArts game? :P

    It's too low quality to be from anything of the Windows-era too...

    Well, you see.. it is certainly RIPPED from a LucasArts game (one of the ones you mention in fact) but I'll admit I couldn't find out where it was from either. So it's POSSIBLE that it was in the game files but wasn't used in game, which really would make this 'an impossible sound competition'. Originally we were going to use a different clip from the game but when I was ripping it I found the laugh and couldn't resist putting it in after we'd recorded (the bit where I say "we want to know who said it and about whom" is misleading as that was referring to the old clip we were intending to put in).

    So yeah, it's a hard one this week. But you get points for trying, and for having a guess... and if anyone can identity an obscure sound from an old game it's the LucasArts fan community.

    Ah yes, I remember it well, that sandwich with its mayo.
