/Filmcast Ep. 97 – The Losers

by Jon Cole in Movies, TV637 days ago

Dave starts off this week’s show by talking about The Freebie, a “mumblecore” film reminiscent of Humpday or Cyrus. The most appealing attribute of this growing genre is the fact that they’re highly improvised (Dave notes that the script for this feature-length film is only six pages) and more in tune with reality. Also in this week’s “What We’ve Been Watching” is a bit of television, with Devindra sharing his surprisingly positive thoughts on Spartacus: Blood and Sand as well as Adam giving a...

The Idle Thumbs Podcast Episode 7: Remember The Airfield

by Jonathan Downin in Games637 days ago

The guys are back for a shorter show this time around. Word of Bungie signing up with Activision has the crew reasonably perplexed at the beginning before Chris and Steve discuss their mildly successful time with Splinter Cell Conviction. While it certainly doesn’t sound like it will be a thumbs favorite, it seems there was some fun to be had. Also, any game that results in the discussion here about incidents at the Lincoln Memorial deserves to exist. Chris is still playing StarCraft II, and he had a chance to go to Blizzard and check out...

Formerly 4 Guys 1UP: 04/30/2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games637 days ago

This week, the podcast former known as…will be known as 1UPchuck. Jeremy takes the helm again but announces this will be his last week and it sounds like we will finally get to see the future of the flagship next week. This week is shaping up to be the Activision episode. First up, the news that Bungie signed a 10 year publishing agreement with Activision sent the games world for a spin and Frank Cifaldi clarifies some of the details. The next Call of Duty game, Black Ops, was also just announced and is the next game from Treyarch and the...

Rebel FM Episode 60 – 04/28/10

by Alex Martin in Games637 days ago

The Cat Fancier Podcast starts with another dubious cat-fact before hosts Anthony, Arthur, Tyler, and Matt steer it back towards more familiar territory. Alan Wake review codes have gone out this week, and the crew talk in detail about its game-design, which sounds as solid as its atmosphere. The Halo: Reach beta also sounds like fun, although Arthur and Anthony had to squint to see any graphical improvement over Halo 3. Arthur doesn’t sound impressed with Lost Planet 2 or Prince of Persia: the Forgotten Sands on Wii. Matt has been playing...

The Gamespy Debriefings #122

by Derek Lavigne in Games637 days ago

Welcome to the Eastern European game question podcast. That aside, a good portion of the first is taken up by discussing Monopoly and the very poorly envisioned Monopoly movie being made by Ridley Scott. Also, Ryan Scott found a way to turn said game into a spreadsheet…almost. Upon trying to steer things back to the topic of video games, Anthony makes the mistake of mention playing games with a female, then spends the next five minutes dodging jabs from every direction. The second half of the show is slightly more coherent and topical, with...

The Oddcast: 04/29/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games637 days ago

The group goes through the news first, as usual. Aside from more Infinity Ward leads leaving for Respawn Entertainment and more bad video game laws there isn’t too much going on, but it is pretty cool that some Halo 2 players are holding on to the last Original Xbox Live session. The Super Mario Crossover game is the star of Recession Gaming this week. It throws a lot of classic franchise’s characters into the original Mario Bros. Go check it out at Newgrounds. The are a ton of voicemails this week with some of them spurring some really...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 6

by Alex Martin in Games637 days ago

The regulars — Garnett, Jeff, Brian, and Billy — have been playing the Halo: Reach beta. They sound excited about the new toys it brings, and don’t seem burnt-out on the nine-year-old series. They’re not so sure about Tecmo Bowl Throwback though, with Garnett doubtful of the PSN and XBLA game’s value. Monster Hunter Tri gets a brief mention before the four can enthuse about Alan Wake. They’re only allowed to talk about the first “chapter”, but they fervently gush over what they can. Starcraft 2,...

Engadget Podcast 194 – 04.30.2010

by Jonathan Downin in Tech637 days ago

HP’s buyout of Palm is up first this week and guys weren’t expecting it. The conversation has the guys speculating on how HP will handle Palm, and ideas about how WebOS will be utilized in HP’s tablet plans. The guys also quickly touch on the somber news of Microsoft’s Courier project being canned in which Josh puts forth an amazing analogy about a team of scientists trying to genetically engineer a dragon with diamond eyes– serious, listen to this. The most contentious topic this week is Steve Jobs open letter about...

This is Only a Test – Episode 9 – Rest in Peace Bill – 4/29/2010

by Alex Martin in Tech637 days ago

From robots that build to robots that destroy — hosts Will and Norm built a 3D printer robot this week, and give some behind-the-scenes talk about it. They also sent some staff to the Robo Games convention, where robots compete in combat, soccer, and drinks mixing. Moving on to the week’s tech news, they discuss HP’s acquisition of Palm, and Steve Jobs’ misguided tirade against Flash. Speaking of Flash — Macromedia have implemented hardware acceleration for Flash video on Macs, so videos should be running more smoothly....

at1UP: 04/27/2010

by Ross Adams in Games, Misc, Movies639 days ago

Things kick off this week with the guys discussing whether Gordon Ramsay should be added to their list of enemies of food. Following on from the bad CGW covers feature is an upcoming bad EGM covers feature, Mike shares some stories about why he personally isn’t a fan of some of the covers. Checking in for some gaming updates immediately gets sidetracked by Mike wondering why Pikachu never evolved into Raichu on the Pokemon anime. Jade surprisingly knows the answer and informs everyone about an episode which focused on the very question. Movies...

Drunken Gamers Radio 04.23.2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games639 days ago

This week’s show starts off with the news that DGR will soon be selling not only the complete 3 year saga of the Shmopera, but 3 posters representing each year as well and boy, are they pretty from the previews they have shown. On to the show as listeners new and old share their anger and drunkenness through voicemails and emails. We Rule starts up the game talk this week and Hilden is completely addicted (are a few of the staff here). Next up is Beat Hazard which uses your own music and John had a good time importing the Shmopera and recommends...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 185

by Jonathan Downin in Games640 days ago

Shawn is back and immediately laments his absence last week in wake of Rob’s negative opinion of Splinter Cell. Shawn has been enjoying the game a lot and argues that Rob’s opinions on games prove to be as specific as always. The guys also discuss some smaller PC strategy game before Cory goes into his impressions of Halo: Reach after seeing it last week. For more in-depth commentary, see his pieces on Joystiq. The main topic of discussion this week is classic multiplayer games. Everyone runs down their favorites and many classics are...

Giant Bombcast 04-27-2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games640 days ago

The Bombcast has leveled up with new headphones for all it seems for the purpose of not blowing out listeners’ ears. Vinny starts things off like usual by talking about the fun he’s been having with the Just Cause 2 modding community and it has reinvigorated his interest in the game. Jeff has been playing a couple of games for review in Super Street Fighter IV and Dead to Rights: Retribution, one of which he loves, the other he doesn’t. Brad talks at length about the Starcraft II single player that he had seen recently as well...

The HotSpot 04/27/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games640 days ago

Giancarlo starts the game talk with Halo: Reach. Like many others in the press, Giancarlo had a chance to check out the beta last week and he spills the details here. Justin touches on his time with the latest Monster Hunter Tri. He is not traditionally a Monster Hunter fan, so his comments are most relevant to those who are in the boat. Super Street Fighter 4 is getting a lot of buzz, and the guys seem to feel like it is a worthy follow-up. Justin talks about FIFA 11 and then the group moves on to news with Xbox sales numbers and a discussion about...
