The Geekbox: Episode 59

by Jon Cole in Games, TV667 days ago

This week’s Geekbox starts off with the sad news that Ryan Higgins’s store got broken into on the one year anniversary of his apartment burning down, so unfortunately this guy doesn’t attract great luck. After a couple scuffles over Dunkin Donuts and fluffernutters, Ryan Scott and Karen talk about their time at PAX East, which they say felt a little inferior compared to the Seattle version though still proved to be a lot of fun. In terms of panels, Karen said she most enjoyed the Journalists vs. Developers discussion, which leads...

Drunken Gamers Radio 03.28.2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games667 days ago

This week’s DGR is a bit different than normal, both because they are sober and live from the Midwest Gaming Classic. John is missing, but is replaced by several guests including the legendary Fluffynuts. The show starts off with everyone discussing some of their favorite pickups from this year’s MGC as well as their antics from a gaming tournament earlier in the convention. The first interview of the show is with two members of High Voltage discussing their upcoming title Tournament of Legends for the Wii. They make some interesting...

Giant Bombcast 03-30-2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games668 days ago

This week’s Bombcast starts off with a very jet-lagged Jeff Gerstmann discussing his trip to the east coast the previous week to see not only UFC Undisputed 2010, but also the inaugural PAX East. Jeff says that although PAX East was a little “dirtier” than PAX West, it was comparable in size as well as mentioning his panel. He also quickly talks about a few of the games he saw at the show. Brad has still been plugging away at Final Fantasy XIII and although he thought he was close to completion, he may still have a few hours left...

at1UP: 03/30/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, Movies, TV668 days ago

A forthcoming 1UP feature on easter eggs in recent games is covered in full by Alan at the beginning of this week’s episode. Also, Mike has been getting into Pokemon after being required to carry the Pokewalker and he is doing his best to game the system. The real fun begins with the epic discussion about the “Enemies of Comedy.” There is a long list that starts with Dan Aykroyd, much to everyone’s dismay, but the undeniably lead Enemy of Comedy is Eddy Murphy. Everyone agrees on this decision, but the absent Travis Williams...

MacBreak Weekly 187: A Stick Between Their Legs

by Jonathan Downin in Tech668 days ago

As Leo puts it, “It’s the last show without the iPad.” We are mere days away from the launch of Apple’s “magical and revolutionary” new computing device. New video walkthroughs of the device in action have been posted on Apple’s site and there are some new features shown. The group discusses what the iPad will mean for the future of publications with many of the big players jumping on the tablet bandwagon. Apps coming to iPad will be more expensive than their iPhone counterparts, but there aren’t any...

The HotSpot 03/30/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games668 days ago

Tom starts the game talk this week with his impressions of Resonance of Fate and Cave Story. Never one to shy away from controversy, he calls Resonance of Fate “as good as Final Fantasy XIII.” The Nintendo 3DS was announced just after the recording of last week’s show, so the guys get into it here and the group is skeptical. Games moving into the 3D display space continues to inspire ambivalence. Microsoft has announced that they will be holding a special Project Natal event on June 13th, the night before their big E3 Media Briefing....

The Totally Rad Show – Episode 158: Hick

by Ross Adams in Games, Movies668 days ago

Alex initially wrote off How to Train Your Dragon as yet another mediocre Dreamworks computer animated feature but it is far from that. All 3 of the TRS guys gush about the film, Jeff even puts it up there as his favourite movie of 2010. The overall feeling is that the movie has a great story for all and is just generally really enjoyable. The guys also discuss the Scott Pilgrim vs The World trailer that was released last week. All three of the, even Alex who wasn’t a fan of the comic, are very excited by what they see. And they have faith...

CastMedium Podcast 030 – 03.30.10

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, Tech668 days ago

Garnett Lee’s Weekend Confirmed had its first episode last week and we share our impressions. We speculate on the 3DS and Jon is enjoying his free achievements from Game Room. After touching on a couple of games, Jon and I get excited about the “prog” potential of the iPad. A couple of movies sneak their way in this week as well. PAX East talk extends this show into the 40 minute territory. Thanks to everyone who was so gracious to us while at the convention, it was a great time. Covered topics and games: Weekend Confirmed, Nintendo...

Mobcast Episode 47

by Jon Cole in Games668 days ago

The Mobcast for this week marks yet another podcast in David Ellis’s final crusade before diving deep into the dark side at 343 Industries. First up is Shoe’s topic, asking what life after games journalism might be like, which is particularly interesting given the diverse paths each of the guys took to get into the industry. Very few developers have found widespread success with multiplayer, with much of the attention focused on games like Call of Duty and Halo. Most of the guys agree that most of this failure can be attributed to...

4 Guys 1UP: 03/26/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games669 days ago

It is another non-traditional show this week with a roundtable discussion about the Nintendo 3DS starting the conversation. Chris Kohler lays-out the “facts” and then the group gets into their thoughts about the DS successor. The opinions range from hopeful to skeptical with some almost heated moments of discussion between Jeremy and Chris, but it is safe to say that Nintendo knows how to mix things up. The next few segments are interviews and they are a great addition to the show. Consultant, and creator of Marble Madness, Mark Cerny...

Player One Podcast – Episode 179 (03/29/10) – King of Thunder

by Ross Adams in Games669 days ago

Despite the smaller cast it’s a slightly longer show than usual this week. The guys kick things off by hitting the big news stories of the week. While not many would consider it big news fans of Player One will know CJ loves Hydro Thunder. So the announcement of an XBLA version of Hydro Thunder has him very excited, even if it doesn’t have many people from the previous games working on it. Game Room finally came out this week, Phil and CJ aren’t impressed as they had nothing but problems with it. Freezing and bugs galore really...

Engadget Podcast 189 – 03.27.2010

by Jonathan Downin in Tech670 days ago

No Nilay this week, but the coverage starts strong with HTC’s latest heavy-hitter, the EVO. This is an obvious follow-up to the HTC HD2, except the package is a whole lot sweeter with the move to Android. It has the latest iteration of both Android and Sense and Paul is in love. The only down-side may be that it is on the Sprint network. Also, it has an 8 megapixel camera with 720p video recording. After a bit of discussion about next generation network launches, the guys move on to the completely underwhelming Samsung Galaxy. The Dell Aero...

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 157

by Jonathan Downin in Games670 days ago

PAX East just wrapped up and this episode of Game Scoop! was recorded in front of a live audience. This isn’t the traditional show with a slightly different cast and an extended user question segment. The crew discusses some of their PAX East experiences at the beginning and touch on a few games including Red Dead Redemption. The question segment takes up a large portion of the show, but this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The questions run the gamut of topics and they are good for the most part. Ryan Scott is on the panel, but he...

Active Time Babble XII: Resonance of Fate | 03/25/2010

by Ross Adams in Games671 days ago

Kat Bailey takes on hosting duties this week, kicking things off with the only bit of RPG news to report. Square-Enix announcing Chaos Rings, an RPG for the iPhone, this leads to a brief discussion about other RPG type games on iPhone such as Wolfenstein RPG and its ilk. Final Fantasy XIII gets some more time on the show, the guys stay away from any story elements as Bob hasn’t finished it yet. The discussion mostly consists of everyone comparing the party setups they used while playing the game. Which everyone would like to have a mix of...

Rebel FM Episode 56 – 03/24/10

by Ross Adams in Games671 days ago

Much like the last time he made an appearance Robert Ashley has a pretty significant effect on the show, leading to some hilarious if occasionally disturbing moments. Tyler kicks the game discussion off by talking about God of War 3, his first foray into the series. He and everyone else on the show who has played have fairly mixed feelings. While they all agree to core mechanics are great they don’t think it holds up to the last game especially. A discussion about Perfect Dark inevitably leads to a larger talk about Goldeneye. Also contained...
