Engadget Podcast 187 – 03.13.2010

Saturday
5:36 pm

iPad starts the discussion this week since the pre-orders have started. The release date has been set for April 3rd, and Joshua and Nilay both have their’s reserved. Paul hasn’t put in a pre-order and he actually feel uncool because of it. This leads into a long discussion about Microsoft’s alleged Courier in light of more pictures and video leaking out. The courier is still vaporware, but if it accomplishes what these target video are depicting, it should be an amazing device. The JooJoo seems to be an actual real thing and it has received an updated user...

The GameSpy Debriefings #117

Friday
9:34 pm

The Gamespy Debriefings crew phone in from GDC with a very short episode, but manage to cover a lot of ground nonetheless.  Being the resident fighting games expert, Ryan talks a bit about the iPhone release of Street Fighter 4.  He praises the graphics, but predictably questions the quality of the iPhone touchscreen controls.  On a similar note, he’s also had a chance to check out Super Street Fighter 4, which lives up to the solid experience with the non-Super version of the game from the limited amount he’s been able to play. The Brian’s are big fans...

/Filmcast Ep. 90 – Alice in Wonderland

Friday
9:11 pm

Eric Vespe of Ain’t It Cool News joins the podcast this week, largely dominating the “What We’ve Been Watching” segment at the start of the show.  Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom stirs a bit of debate, considering Eric believes the film doesn’t get the attention and respect it deserves.  He makes the argument that the Last Crusade is very derivative of Raiders of the Lost Ark, while Temple of Doom starts from square one with an entertaining experience.  The first segment wraps up with a little bit of television conversation, covering both...

Mobcast Episode 44

Thursday
3:10 pm

Aaron Thomas made it out to Bizarre Creations to talk to Jeb Talbot and Garreth Wilson about some of the topics on this week’s podcast, leading to somewhat disjointed conversations where Shoe and crew are intermittently interrupted by prerecorded parts of the interview. Otherwise, a Bitmob-staff only cast talks about the recent release of Bad Company 2 and how it compares to Modern Warfare 2.  Shoe and Brett have played both, but Shoe has more experience with the Battlefield series as a whole and isn’t quite impressed with the minor changes made in the latest title. Brett...

Garnett Lee’s Weekend Confirmed coming March 26th

Thursday
2:27 pm

It has been 5 months since Garnett Lee moved to GameFly Media and he has finally announced a few details concerning his next podcasting endeavor. The new podcast will be called Weekend Confirmed with the inaugural episode hitting on Friday, March 26th– which makes sense considering the title. Garnett’s previous podcasts at 1UP, 1UP Yours and Listen UP, were also both Friday podcasts, so it seems like he is sticking with familiar territory. Although details are scarce at the moment, he does mention that the show will also feature Jeff Cannata from the Totally...

TWiT 238: Lisa Hates Technology

Wednesday
11:12 pm

A regular TWiT cast is joined by Fox and Friends’ Clayton Morris, starting off with the news that the Apple iPad is facing a minor delay.  In response, Microsoft has released some information on the formerly rumored Courier tablet. With Conan O’Brien’s latest move to elevate a random person to internet celebrity status simply through his Twitter friend list, Leo and Kevin up the ante with their own candidate, @LisaTickledPink (whom Kevin chose by looking up “I hate technology” in Twitter’s search function).  At the time of this posting,...

Drunken Gamers Radio 03.07.2010

Wednesday
2:08 pm

It’s the first week of Shmupreciation month so this week’s show is very shmup-based. Things start off with a preview of the Shmopera, followed by Drunk Dials and emails. Starting off the review segment is Mega Man 10 for various digital platforms. John says that although the game features an easy mode, he almost feel as if it makes things too easy. The guys discuss some of the games other features while Moe ridicules things as always. The retro review this week, like it will be all month, is a classic shmup in the form of Star Soldier for the NES. The game is known...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 178

Wednesday
6:40 am

The Shawn and Sean duo are out this week so Lara Crigger is filling their spots. The first game of the Xbox Live Block Party, Toy Soldiers, starts the game talk and Julian is enjoying its fresh take on the tower defense genre. Lara has been playing more Darksiders after finding the subject matter of Heavy Rain to be a little too dark for her tastes. Portal 2’s slow reveal last week has the group discussing game marketing and if they would even consider Valve’s recent actions to fall under marketing. The consensus seems to be that whether it was marketing or not,...

MacBreak Weekly 184: It’s A Little Meaty

Wednesday
3:03 am

It’s back to the regular format after two weeks of non-tradition episodes. The news of Steam coming to Mac starts the news topics this week, but this is obviously not the group’s forte. They are somewhat aloof about what Steam really is and make a few mistakes on the details, but at least they realize the magnitude of the announcement. Steve Jobs’s appearance at the Oscars gets some discussion and then the group moves on to talk about the most recent MacHeist Bundle promotion. Issues surrounding how MacHeist can be detrimental to small developers have been...

Giant Bombcast 03-09-2010

Wednesday
12:33 am

It is a very special Bombcast this week if you are a fan of the guys from their old stomping grounds– none other than 38 Studio’s own Rich Gallup is on the show. GDC talk kicks things off before the crew head into a healthy recently played games segment. Borderlands gets some more love and Bad Company 2 is entertaining Jeff. Brad hits StarCraft 2 before digging into his Final Fantasy XIII experiences thus far. Not all is rosy with the latest iteration, but the best moment comes when Jeff realizes that “Phoenix Down” actually means something sensical. There...

at1UP: 03/09/2010

Tuesday
9:43 pm

The Game Developers Conference is on this week, and that somehow means no game talk on at1UP. Never fear though, Mike and crew deliver some great discussion this week. Oscars talk kicks things off, but there is a general sense of apathy about the event. The cast really kicks into high gear when Alan pitches his idea for a Spider Man FPS. Without missing a beat, he then moves on to a rant about the “dickery” present in Star Wars– brilliant stuff here. Sticking with comics, the group laments the under rated Mr. Freeze and pits the Batman villains versus their...
