Mobcast Episode 40

Tuesday
1:23 am

The Mobcast is a little disjointed this week, with Aaron intermittently playing some prerecorded clips from an interview he did with Bioshock 2’s Mellisa Miller and Hogarth De La Plante.  He asked them the same questions asked on the podcast, though, so the transitions aren’t too jarring. Anthony’s topic kicks things off, asking how gaming websites should balance resource intensive, long-form editorial and page-view grabbing top ten lists and the like.  Shoe finds that articles written for the nearly singular purpose of traffic are sometimes necessary, but finds...

Filmspotting #290: Edge of Darkness / Michael Hoffman Interview / Top 5 Career Comebacks

Tuesday
12:50 am

Filmspotting stays on the mainstream track this week with a review of Edge of Darkness, the latest film directed by Casino Royale’s Martin Campbell.  Adam and Matty agree that one of the best parts of the movie is Mel Gibson’s performance, which proved to be a return to form.  Unfortunately, the film attempted to be more than just a revenge thriller and made half-hearted steps towards political intrigue, ultimately falling short.  Nonetheless, it sounds like the guys enjoyed the film despite the unfulfilled potential. The bulk of the rest of the show consists of Adam’s...

CM 4.0 & user podcast submissions

Tuesday
12:08 am

Here we are, CastMedium redesign 4.0 (yes, we use Windows numbering). The new design introduces a lot of cosmetic upgrades, as we tend to enjoy implementing. We have only been around for a little over a year, but the aesthetic design of the site has been pretty liquid. This is partly due to my fickleness, but I like to think that it can also be attributed to the quickly evolving nature of web design. It is not all vanity this time around though. We are introducing the ability for you to submit your own podcasts. The most frequent request we get at CM is for a way for podcasters...

Player One Podcast – Episode 172 (02/08/10) – Blowin’ Cartridges

Monday
12:53 pm

A fairly quick what you been playing segment this week, all of the guys have been a bit busy. Greg Sewart has been making his way through Spirit Tracks, a significantly better game than Phantom Hourglass in his and Phil’s opinion. CJ picked up White Knight Chronicles, he seems to be enjoying it but most of the discussion is spent comparing the game to everything from Vagrant Story to Animal Crossing. With the shorter first segment the rest of the show is taken up by listener tweets. Someone asks for opinions on the announcement of Sonic 4 which leads to a lengthy discussion....

CastMedium Podcast 023 – 02.08.10

Monday
7:42 am

It is a 2 man show this week with Erik out due to internet issues. Jon and I start this one with some skepticism about CO-OP moving to a live format. That leads into a discussion about the new EGM and Jon is ready to subscribe. Indifference about Dante’s Inferno kicks off the games segment, but we quickly move onto BioShock 2. No pre-orders have been placed yet, but we both admit that we will probably make the Steam purchase rather soon. Android finally gets multitouch and the Edge of Darkness may not be Lethal Weapon or Payback, but it still sounds pretty good. RIGGS!!! We...

Engadget Podcast 182 – 02.07.2010

Monday
7:21 am

Android has finally received multitouch in a meaningful implementation– on the Nexus One. The Droid and other Android phones will have to wait a little longer, but it is a step in the right direction. In the wake of the iPad announcement, Fusion Garage has started talking about the Joojoo again, but the guys still don’t quite see the appeal. Former Microsoft VP, Dick Brass, wrote a rather scathing opinion piece about Microsoft concerning their ability to innovate. The Engadget guys have a lot to say about it and this leads into a discussion about the future of computing...

Rebel FM Episode 50 – 02/04/10

Saturday
3:19 pm

Anthony just finished reviewing MAG, he doesn’t think it’s particularly great. The feeling seems to be that it’s just oddly designed in places and the hook of 256 players doesn’t impact the game in an especially meaningful way. He also got to check out Metro 2033, although it shows the limitations of its budget Anthony thinks it has a certain charm. Having the author of the book it is based on helping with the game could certainly give it a richer fiction than most games of its kind. Arthur has been playing alot of the Bad Company 2 demo and is really...

4 Guys 1UP: 02/05/2010

Friday
10:51 pm

Sonic 4 and the expectations surrounding the game start the podcast this week. The guys milk the fan reactions to recent Sonic title announcements to share their skepticism. The recent Fallout: New Vegas trailer spurs some conversation about what this new entry may be and what Obsidian may bring to the table with their take on the series. The (now retracted) ESRB description of Dead or Alive Paradise enrages Ray, but amuzes the rest of the group. No More Heroes gets some attention and then the guys move onto talk about the 4 year old game that is Dead Rising. Metro 2033, the...

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 151

Friday
8:52 pm

Mass Effect 2 fever continues with Greg calling it “better than Uncharted 2.” As a staunch supporter of the PS3, this is a pretty huge deal. Dante’s Inferno got a 7.5 from IGN and the Scoop! guys say that it is worth picking up if all you have is an Xbox 360, if you have a PS3, the word is to wait for God of War 3. The Grinder, the lastest game from the team that brought us The Conduit, is coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360 and will use motion controls. Sonic 4 and Fallout: New Vegas receive hopeful comments. After another edition of Knockin’ Boots, Daemon...

Joystiq Podcast 126 – Patrick Duffy edition

Friday
7:06 pm

Mass Effect 2 continues to get a huge amount of love this week. The guys touch on many different aspects of why they love the game and conclude that Bioware has achieved the essence of what makes a true RPG. Justin touches on MAG and he is enjoying the game a lot more than he thought he would. Xbox Live service for the original Xbox will be discontinued on April 15th. There were some interesting tidbits in the announcement sent out by Microsoft, and the guys are looking forward to some insight into enhancements to the Xbox 360 Live service around E3 time. Sonic 4 is coming and...

The GameSpy Debriefings #113

Friday
2:45 pm

The Gamespy crew is trimmed to Anthony, Miggels and Gerald this week, ultimately resulting in a much leaner podcast.  Dante’s Inferno starts off the show, a game which turns out to be not only similar to God of War in its positive attributes but also follows the negative aspects of the classic eastern-style action game.  Frustrating puzzles mixed inelegantly with combat sequences harken back to Anthony’s controller throwing moments of God of War II, so excitement for Dante’s Inferno is quite tempered. The Fallout: New Vegas teaser hit the pipes this week, appropriately...

Podcast Beyond, Episode 124

Friday
11:32 am

Okay, try to contains yourselves– Sonic 4 has been announced. It is coming to all the major consoles in episodic releases sometime this year. It looks like it will be the classic 2D style gameplay rendered in 3D. The reactions are mixed here with Ryan as the only person who is really excited about this news. There are no releases this week that are worthy of being deemed Pick of the Week this week. The bulk of this episode is dedicated to the informal Trophy tournament that is happening between the guys. They really love their trophies and they are dedicated to procuring...
