The Engadget Show – 007: Nicholas Negroponte, PlayStation Move exclusive demos, Dr. Richard Marks, Joystiq’s Chris Grant, and more!

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Tech675 days ago

It is a jam-packed show this time around. Nicholas Negroponte, the man behind the OLPC project and all-around visionary technologist, is the first guest here and he is a great interview. The beginning of the discussion centers around his vision of the future and where technology is now and where he feels that it is heading. The latter portion is spent on the OLPC and Negroponte’s ideas of universally available resources of information. It’s amazing how the Engadget show has provided a venue for this kind of serious discussion in the...

Player One Podcast – Episode 178 (03/22/10) – Needs More Pedometers

by Ross Adams in Games676 days ago

After the usual 10 minutes of goofing around CJ and Phil kick things off by discussing Pokemon Soul Silver/Heart Gold. The Pokewalker gets some praise, CJ has added to his video game themed pedometer collection. Phil maintains that Gold and Silver were/are the best of the series so he is loving the updated version. A brief aside about Game Room’s release this week leads to an interesting debate about what Sony could do to get more people interested in home. Inspired by Game Room having achievements Greg Sewart thinks adding trophies and more...

CastMedium Podcast 029 – 03.22.10

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, Tech676 days ago

It’s our last pre-PAX podcast and Erik kicks things off with word that he finished Trials HD. We discuss the latest “low key” episode of 4 Guys 1UP and touch on the recent layoffs at IGN that resulted in Anthony and Arthur from Rebel FM joining Game Scoop! and Three Red Lights respectively. God of War III and Final Fantasy XIII get some discussion before Jon argues the brilliance of the latest Pokemon release and the PokeWalker. PlayStation Move gets a bit more time after last week’s discussion and then we move on to the...

Engadget Podcast 188 – 03.20.2010

by Jonathan Downin in Tech676 days ago

Windows Phone Series 7 is the big topic again this week since Microsoft released even more details during MIX10. There are a lot of topics covered here and the guys cover the revelations that there will be no copy and paste or what is considered true multitasking upon initial release. It isn’t all negative though with Paul and Chris excited for what the future holds for the platform. Palm is in bad shape after a recent earnings announcement and things don’t look to be getting better any time soon. Joshua has a penned another open letter...

Filmspotting #296: Green Zone / Top 5 Colorful Movie Titles

by Jon Cole in Movies677 days ago

Filmspotting phones in with a short episode this week, opening up with a review of Paul Greengrass’s latest film, Green Zone. Matty kicks things off with the easy comparison between Matt Damon’s previous role as Jason Bourne his character in this film, Chief Miller. Adam takes the ball and runs, saying that the film was boiled down the beginning of the Iraq War to a vastly basic level, essentially tossing all nuance out the window. Matty does praise some of the suspenseful scenes, but agrees with Adam in that so much of the film...

Rebel FM Episode 55 – 03/17/09

by Ross Adams in Games678 days ago

A five man cast this week so things are a little more raucous than usual, to the point that there are many things bleeped out. It makes for an entertaining show if nothing else. Now 343 Industries employee David Ellis kicks things off by recounting his 7+ hours with the Just Cause 2 demo. The demo has a 30 minute time limit so that goes some way to showing how much he is enjoying it. It’s a “great way to blow shit up” seems to be the take away. God of War 3 causes some debate, while the opening is epic and visual stunning it seems...

Joystiq Podcast 131 – Exthrilarating edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games678 days ago

Get ready for an abundance of awkward silences and jarring bouts of over-talking this week. Metro 2033 has been getting some good coverage and that continues here. Justin has been enjoying the game and he talks about it here. The Xbox has been the focus of several rumors this week, including word that it may be getting USB storage support and a revamped slim restyling of the console itself. Joystiq broke the story of USB storage and it would be a welcome addition to the upcoming spring dashboard update. Redesigned hardware also makes sense with...

Retronauts Episode 89: 03/18/2010

by Ross Adams in Games678 days ago

A shorter than usual episode this week as there’s no main topic so it’s all Retro game news from the last few weeks. There hasn’t been too much but the guys do focus on a select few things, starting the the XBLA re-release of Perfect Dark. Sharkey says while it’s dated it’s definitely worth playing, especially if you were a fan of Goldeneye. He says PD is essentially a better Goldeneye and with this improved version it’s a great opportunity to play a game alot of people missed first time round. Final Fantasy II,...

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 156

by Jonathan Downin in Games678 days ago

The Rebel FM infiltration of IGN is now complete. Anthony Gallegos is on Game Scoop! and with this comes news that he, along with Arthur, has transitioned over to the IGN mothership. It’s a fast-paced show this week with rumors of USB storage being enable for the Xbox 360 via a spring dashboard update. While this would be a welcomed feature, Ryan is reasonably annoyed about the arbitrary 16Gb cap. This can only be due to Microsoft wanting to protect hard drive sales. Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition is out and this has the group pining for an...

4 Guys 1UP: 03/19/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games678 days ago

So, 4 Guys 1UP is back with Jeremy at the helm this week bookending an interview section that David Ellis recorded at GDC with David Cage and Stig Asmussen of Heavy Rain and God of War III respectively. Jeremy is obviously a little uncomfortable in the lead role here and the rhythm of the conversation is a bit stilted. They admit that they don’t know what the future holds, but for now it’s Jeremy and gang. God of War III starts the discussion and Jeremy finds nothing to like about the game, or franchise on a whole, as Matt argues...

Active Time Babble XI: Pokemon & Dragon Age | 03/18/2010

by Ross Adams in Games679 days ago

This weeks show kicks off with Scooter talking about recently announced premium Mass Effect 2 DLC. Aside from saying it looks good there’s not much discussion of the DLC itself rather the reasoning behind Zaeeds integration into the Normandy and whether new party member Kasumi will suffer a similar fate. Mass Effect 2 continues to be a topic of discussion as the guys move onto talking about RPG related GDC panels. Kat questions whether the Pokewalker, which comes with the Gold/Silver remakes, will appeal to kids or if it’s just the older...

The Game Informer Show: Episode 20

by Derek Lavigne in Games679 days ago

A shorter show this week with only two segments, but a lot is covered and even Andy Reiner bringing his phone to keep him busy doesn’t detract from the excitement this week. God of War 3 is the subject of the first segment and well, apparently that game is good. Although they do mention the sense of scale the game gives you like many reviews focused on, they also take the time to discuss what distinguishes this experience from the previous two. One interesting point that is brought up is the fact that this game finally gives players a reason...

/Filmcast Ep. 91 – Green Zone

by Jon Cole in Movies680 days ago

Ghost Writer, Roman Polanski’s latest thriller, has garnered mixed opinions throughout the film critic culture, but the /Filmcast is decidedly positive about it. Devindra compares it to Polanski’s neo-noir Chinatown, saying that the director can bring a lot of finesse and impact to a somewhat unexciting script. Dave got a chance to check out Armored, an understated heist movie that ended up fairly well executed. The Oscars are hardly news, but due to scheduling, the /Filmcast hasn’t got a chance to talk about them until now. ...

Podcast Beyond, Episode 129

by Jonathan Downin in Games680 days ago

And the first Roper-less Podcast Beyond appears. Greg seems to be taking the helm from here on out and the crew addresses the Roper and layoff situation right off the bat. In usual Podcast Beyond fashion, the mood quickly picks up though and the regular hijinx ensue. This seems to just be how the Miller and co. handles difficult situation though, as anyone who listened to Game Scoop! episode 137 knows. Green Day: Rock Band strikes the wrong cord with the Beyond crew and after a bit of meandering Ryan talks about his experience with Final Fantasy...

Drunken Gamers Radio 03.12.2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games680 days ago

This week’s DGR finds the drunkards a little more in the bag than usual as they mention numerous times that they didn’t start recording until 3am. Some hilarious ramblings start off the show followed by emails and Drunk Dials as usual. Another new contest springs up thanks again to a listener which leads the guys to challenge their listeners to write a poem about shmups to celebrate Shmupreciation month. The review segment this week is a guest spot by friend of the show Phil Haymes discussing Final Fantasy XIII. He talks at length about...
