The Bear Swarm! Podcast

by Rob Justice in Games, Misc576 days ago

(Editor’s note: This post was written by the podcast provider and is part of our user submitted podcasts feature) We’re more of a table-top gaming podcast but we recently started to branch out in our discussion to include video games and other geek culture topics. We’ve done a handful of interviews with table-top RPG industry figures including: http://www.bearswarm.com/episode-94-visioncon-2010 http://www.bearswarm.com/episode-72-gencon-eddy-webb-jared-sorensen http://www.bearswarm.com/episode-71-gencon-john-wick Our recent episodes...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 194

by Jon Cole in Games576 days ago

Allen joins a fairly normal podcast today, starting things off with his impressions of OnLive. Rabbit brings up the idea that a $200 price point is essentially the price ceiling for new consoles, which tangentially pokes at the foundation of OnLive with its combined monthly subscription and cost of games. Risk: Factions has seemingly come out of nowhere and impresses everyone who got a chance to play it, offering some new features that integrate well into the standard Risk rule set. Sean breaks out yet another shocker that blew him away, Tranformers:...

TWiT 254: Digg 4 Was My Idea

by Jon Cole in Tech576 days ago

TWiT founding member Kevin Rose joins this week’s episode to give some exclusive coverage about Digg 4 and its new social-friendly features. It seems like they main thrust of the update is making news feeds relevant to you and the people who follow you, with later pushes for lending “tastemakers” credibility to help build the quality of the whole network. Due to Facebook’s decline in popularity in the tech world, just the tiniest spark of news about a Google-powered competitor has set the scene ablaze. Google Me was initially...

The Totally Rad Show – Episode 171: Torturous

by Ross Adams in Games, Movies576 days ago

This weeks movie is Knight & Day and the TRS guys are surprisingly high on it. Jeff starts things off by saying that the film is alot of fun, he makes note that Tom Cruise‘s consistently positive character makes for a fairly unique situation. Alex and Dan pretty much reiterate his sentiment, all agree it’s very funny with some great action sequences and is surpisngly unique. With E3 having just finished there aren’t alot of new games to talk about so Jeff decided it’d be a good idea to focus on some smaller games. Kicking...

Drunken Gamers Radio: 06.27.2010

by Jon Cole in Games576 days ago

John is out of the studio this week, leaving Drunken Gamers Radio with the dynamic duo of Hilden and Moe. A sad yet hilarious Tom Petty concert story starts things out, leading directly into the “real” show through Drunk Dials. Reviews begin with Hilden’s impressions of Dragon’s Lair for the Blu-Ray, which ultimately boils down to a recommendation if you’re into Dragon’s Lair and you want to see the game in glorious hi-def. Tilt To Live tickle’s Hilden’s hate bone for tilt controls on iPhone, but...

at1UP: 06/29/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc576 days ago

This week’s show starts with a quick Enemies of Candy segment, and guess what, Alan likes it. The regular show begins with Alan covering some MyCheats stuff and details how to become a cheats freelancer. The guys then get into the news that a key visual representation of Mickey in Epic Mickey has been changed since focus groups weren’t into it. After touching on this week’s NBA Jam 1UP Cover Story and Game Night with Skulls of the Shogun, Mike and Alan recap their time with the new Red Dead Redemption DLC. It sounds like there...

Engadget Podcast 202 – 06.26.2010

by Jon Cole in Games, Tech577 days ago

In the wake of the latest Engadget Show, the Engadget Podcast remains surprisingly dense with tech talk. The iPhone 4 continues to be the biggest news in the industry, but the technical issues with the antenna and screen have kicked up a little bit of dust. Not to be forgotten, some of the more positive points of the phone are discussed as well, with Nilay heaping praise on the “future of mobile gaming” with the device’s gyroscope. The Droid X fills out a mobile-heavy week of news, delivering a phone that just about everyone...

Player One Podcast – Episode 192 (06/28/10) – Wedgies

by Ross Adams in Games577 days ago

Phil managed to pick up Blur for a rather impressive $10, he isn’t sure if he wants to keep it so he lets CJ and Greg Sewart convince him to do so. They appear to be successful and the plan seems to be to get in a game night with POP forum goers/listeners. Continuing their tradition of talking about games you properly won’t hear about on other podcasts, Cj and Phil picked up the DSiWare game A Kappa’s Trail. They both start off by saying how disappointed they are that the games on the service really don’t get a mention anywhere...

Game Scoop! Podcast: E3 Adventures

by Jon Cole in Games577 days ago

Game Scoop! returns after an E3 hiatus with a retrospective episode tackling the past week’s events. Many of the topics they hit on were previously discussed on several other podcasts, such as the odd Kinect/Cirque du Soleil announcement and Playstation Move party. Knockin’ Boots returns with some flair, welcoming special guest Jimmy Fallon over the phone to talk about the ladies. He also gets a chance to weigh in on the Shark vs Octopus debate of the ages, hopefully leading to a clear end to the warring states era of IGN. Listener...

CastMedium Podcast 041 – 06.29.10

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, Tech578 days ago

So, after a week away due to technical issues, we are back with another week of technical issues. It’s almost like we haven’t already done 40 of these. While the audio is far from pristine, it is listenable. We hit on a lot of podcasts to start the show and then move on to Jon and Erik’s impressions of the Crackdown 2 demo. Jon and I get into the iPhone antenna issue and have a few harsh words for Apple. Toy Story 3 gets some love from Jon and I close-out the show with a few words about Alan Wake after recently finishing it. Also,...

Mobcast 59: E3 2010 Wrap-Up

by Alex Martin in Games578 days ago

Although last week’s episode was released after E3, this Mobcast is the true E3 wrap-up with staff members Dan “Shoe” Hsu, Demian Linn, Brett Bates, and Omri Petitte. First, they ask each other about the games they missed. Omri tells the group about Portal 2′s wisecracking sidekick and new environments. Shoe didn’t think much of Rage but liked Vanquish — a Japanese shooter that speeds up the Gears of War formula. Demian also fields some questions about Deus Ex 3. Next, they name some games they saw but aren’t...

The Oddcast: 06/27/2010

by Alex Martin in Games578 days ago

Brought to you by the vuvuzela and audio malfunctions, it’s the E3 Oddcast! Their approach to wrapping up the year’s biggest press conference is a little unorthodox, but after chatting about G4′s strange interview with David Jaffe, free Xboxes, and practical jokes they get to the weirder news from the show. PSN+ introduces some extra features to Sony’s online service. For a fee. And you’ll lose any “free” games you acquire if you unsubscribe. Even more strangely, the 3DS is not for children: Nintendo have...

After Hours #16: Directors of the Decade / Romero vs. Boyle

by Jon Cole in Movies578 days ago

Filmspotting reports in this week with an After Hours episode, which tackles a lot of backlogged listener feedback, suggested top five lists, and listener love. Opening things up is a listener who asks Adam and Matty which actors had underrated or unappreciated performances. Next up is the inevitable criticism of the top five directors lists from a past week’s episode. The biggest point of contention in Matty’s top 20 films of the past decade seems to be his choice of 28 Days Later. His mistakes didn’t end there, as he...

The Engadget Show – 010: Jimmy Fallon, Kudo Tsunoda, Microsoft Kinect, iPhone 4, Samsung Captivate, Droid X

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Tech580 days ago

The Engadget Show is back with special guest Jimmy Fallon. It is clear that Jimmy is into technology as he affords it a lot of coverage on his late night talk show. He and Josh discuss the iPhone 4 and Jimmy’s frustration with dropped calls on his 3GS. The interview is fun, if not a little light an actual tech talk. One of the main men behind Microsoft’s Kinec, Kudo Tsunoda, is also on this week and he lets the group get some hands-off time with some titles coming for the device this fall. The group seems to enjoy their experience, but...

Rebel FM Episode 65 – 06/25/10

by Alex Martin in Games580 days ago

Rebel FM returns from its two-week hiatus with one of the most game-heavy episodes of recent times. There are no long tangential forays and no emails in this E3 wrap-up show with guest Jim Reilly (IGN). After a quick discussion of Mass Effect 2, they talk about more recent games. Toy Story 3 and Transformers: War For Cybertron are two toy-based titles that have no right to be good, but Anthony and Arthur strongly recommend them. Meanwhile, Matt’s tried Puzzle Quest 2 on the DS and iPhone. The DS’s stylus gives its touch-screen controls...
