Rebel FM Episode 63 – 05/27/10

by Alex Martin in Games608 days ago

It’s a four man, and one man’s best friend podcast this week — Anthony, Arthur, Matt, Tyler, and Arthur’s puppy come together to talk about games and scare cats. Tyler and Matt have tried Red Dead Redemption’s multiplayer, which they have mixed feelings on. Matt doesn’t think there’s a lot to do in free room, but Tyler appreciates the way auto-aim feels. Arthur didn’t like Red Dead Redemption for the same reasons he’s not a fan of Grand Theft Auto — the controls are clumsy and the story...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 10

by Alex Martin in Games608 days ago

Andrew Pfister (G4TV) joins the Weekend Confirmed team this week and they start as always with Whatcha’ Been Playing. Killzone 3 is the first game on the agenda, after a brief look back at Killzone 2 which includes a big spoiler from 07:30 to 08:40. The third in the series adds jetpacks, and Garnett does a good job of describing how they work and feel. Another 3 they’ve been playing is F.E.A.R. 3 (apparently that’s the official way to write it), which adds a ghostly co-op partner. Jeff enthuses about Prince of Persia: the Forgotten...

/Filmcast Ep. 101 – MacGruber

by Jon Cole in Movies, TV609 days ago

Dan Eckman joins the /Filmcast this week, adding a little bit of spicy dissention while also promoting the DVD release of his film, Mystery Team. As always, the show starts off with What We’ve Been Watching, with Dave opening up discussion of the latest episode of Breaking Bad, which was directed by former guest and director Rian Johnson. Everyone agrees that the episode was great despite the fact that it didn’t drive the central plot very much. Most of this success was in fact due to Rian’s injection of much of his style...

The Game Informer Show: Episode 28

by Jon Cole in Games609 days ago

The Game Informer Show’s format is designed in part to spotlight some of the biggest games to his shelves each week, though the game covered in the first segment may be one of the biggest games to hit shelves all year. Dan and Matt talk a little bit about Super Mario Galaxy 2, which has proven to take the success of the first game and build on it to create a wonderful sequel. Word on the street is that SMG2 is a little harder than the original, though Dan has a few dissenting words on that. Insomniac Games’s choice to depart from...

Filmspotting #303: Please Give / Top 5 Films of 1997

by Jon Cole in Movies609 days ago

This week’s show is a bit on the short side, starting off with a review of Nicole Holofcener’s Please Give. After simple agreement for weeks and weeks, Adam and Matty finally fall on opposite sides of the fence for this film. Adam can’t really see the journey that each of the characters follow, as they really don’t learn too much more about themselves along the way. On the other hand, Matty argues that Holofcener produces one of the most powerful cast of female characters to hit the big screen. Either way, they both...

4 Guys 1UP: 05/28/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games609 days ago

Ray is back in the hosting seat. Even though last week was supposed to be the last of the experiments, this episode still seems to be in that zone. Ray does seem to handle it better than anyone else though. Quick Killzone 3 impressions start the cast and then the group moves on to Call of Duty: Black Ops, which everyone seems pretty hopeful for. Even though Alpha Protocol has been almost universally receiving middling reviews, Sharkey gave it a surprising B+ in his review and the whole group is pretty high on the game. Word of Insomiac going to...

This is Only a Test – Episode 13 – Maker Faire is Full of Wonder – 5/27/2010

by Alex Martin in Tech610 days ago

Will and Norm have Tested alarm clocks, DSi innards and rocket ships this week. They went to the Maker Faire where they saw the giant rocket as well as a giant spider, airsoft warships, and the guys that designed their Makerbot. The guys move swiftly on to tech news, including Google’s Android FroYo mobile operating system and Google TV, which they are not that excited about. They discuss the graphics card news coming from Nvidia and Intel. Microsoft have had a staff shake-up and with rumors of a $150 price for Natal, they wonder whether it...

The Engadget Show – 009: Kevin Lynch, editor Q&A, AT&T GNOC tour, Sprint EVO 4G

by Jon Cole in Tech610 days ago

This month’s Engadget Show is a little bit less conventional than usual, starting things off with a prerecorded interview between Josh and Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch. They hit on a lot of hot topics in the tech sphere, particularly pertaining to Flash 10.1 on mobile devices and Apple’s potshots at them. The most interesting question asked what Kevin feels Adobe’s place is in the future of computing, which he initially flails around but ultimately says that Adobe will do whatever they can to stay relevant even in the unlikely scenario...

Midwest Nerds Podcast

by JoelG in Games, Tech610 days ago

Jason, the host and producer, uses his skills as a professional radio personality to craft a show that possesses polish and style.

Giant Bombcast 05-25-2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games611 days ago

Pre-E3 leaks and Jeff’s time doing his E3 judges thing start of the cast this week. Rock Band 3 is now all but official. Tron Evolution sounds like it may have something to offer, and Jeff is surprisingly excited about the forthcoming non-movie tie-in Pirates od the Caribbean game. Vinny and Brad get into Sam & Max before the big Red Dead Redemption talk begins. Blur, Mod Nation Racers and Super Mario Galaxy 2 end the played games talk. News kicks-off with talk of the recent reveal of Killzone 3, and quickly moves onto a hate-fest about...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 189

by Jonathan Downin in Games612 days ago

Red Dead Redemption continues to be the center of attention with the GWJ crew getting right into it. Shawn is pretty high on the game, which should come as no surprise to anyone who heard him talk about it on this week’s CastMedium Podcast, but Sean is not finding the draw at 4 hours in. Sean argues that it is too much of a GTA game, and that makes it feel a little stale. Shawn finished Alan Wake and goes into some detail here. He again touts the game as a fun experience for couples. Alan also finished it and he chimes in with his thoughts...

The HotSpot 05/25/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games612 days ago

Brian takes the host seat this week and it’s nice to have him back. Tom had biking accident and suffered a broken clavicle, but he is toughing it out and sitting in to cover the news as always. Tom Mc Shea starts the cast by talking about the perfect 10 he gave Super Mario Galaxy 2. It is only the 8th game in GameSpot history to receive the score, so this is a fairly momentous occasion. Killzone 3 has been announced and in an interesting development, it is getting some help from the Uncharted team. Also in news, PixelJunk Shooter 2 is on...

at1UP: 05/24/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies612 days ago

We get an early episode of at1UP this week due to Mike’s vacation schedule. It’s game talk from the beginning with the boys talking Red Dead Redemption and Alan points to some of the crazy bugs that pop up due to the game’s complex and open structure. Mike gives the 1UP E3 blogger contest another mention before he talks about 1UP’s alternate take on Game Night, Shame Night. With a name like that it shouldn’t be surprising that Sharkey is involved. This week’s movie pitch has the guys recasting Ghostbusters and...

The Totally Rad Show – Episode 166: Fwequent

by Ross Adams in Games, Movies612 days ago

After a brief discussion of SNL and older SNL movies the guys get down to their thoughts on the the newest spinoff from the show, MacGruber. Alex is the most impressed of the group, even saying he laughed harder and more than when he saw The Hangover. Jeff and Dan really liked it too but aren’t quite as high on it, they still highly recommend it and think it was really funny. A short talk about whether an actual MacGyver movie can work follows, the concept is a good one but the guys are skeptical. Red Dead Redemption is the game this week...

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Tech, TV613 days ago

It’s a big show this week. Gamers with Jobs‘s own Shawn Andrich (@certis) joins us for a special extended episode.
