The Geekbox: Episode 79

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, TV526 days ago

This weeks episode starts out with some big news. Andrew ‘Fitch Hitch’ Fitch is leaving the show for a while. This will be his last show since he is heading out of state for a new job. Ryan S. saw The Expendables and had a good time with it. He also brings up an article he found talking a about the casting of a non-existant all-female version of the film. Burn Notice and the news of a few new horror movies also get some time. Fitch has been playing Madden 11, and while he feels like it has made steps towards being more accessible, he...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 201

by Jon Cole in Games527 days ago

This week’s Gamers with Jobs is essentially a continuation of last week’s 200th episode, starting off as usual with games the guys have been playing. It’ll come to no GWJ fan’s surprise that Rob has been playing League of Legends and the rest of the guys have been playing more Starcraft II, the latter of which the guys briefly hit on once again. The first new game the guys discuss is the Mafia 2 demo, which Sands praises for solid controls and a seemingly engaging story. Shawn also talks about how impressive the game looks...

Player One Podcast – Episode 199 (08/16/10) – Buttons

by Ross Adams in Games528 days ago

After a brief discussion of Greg Sewarts new glasses and his lamenting getting old the POP guys move swiftly onto the Bioshock Infinite announcement. Everyone is excited by the prospect of Irrational coming back to the franchise as all 4 hosts were big fans of the original Bioshock . A few iPhone games kick off the what you been playing segment, starting with The Incident. It involved avoiding random falling objects (using tilt control) and then using those same objects to get higher while still avoiding more falling obstacles. Sewart also played...

The Totally Rad Show – Episode 178: Skyoshock

by Ross Adams in Games, Movies528 days ago

Scott Pilgrim vs The World is the movie this week, the guys talked about the comic book the film is based on back in episode 55. Jeff and Dan loved it but Alex wasn’t a fan, when it comes to the movie adaption though everyone thought it was a great movie. Jeff compares it to Kick-Ass in that it’s a movie with a very modern feel for a very modern geek centric audience. Alex worries that the fact it’s a movie for geeks may mean it’s too niche to connect with most people, judging by how it’s doing at the box office that...

CastMedium Podcast 048 – 08.17.10

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, Tech529 days ago

We have a longer show this week in light of some bigger news items hitting over the past few days. Gamer with Jobs hit their 200th episode, so congratulations to them. Jeff Green announced that he has left EA and will be moving on to something else. GamesCon is happening and there may be some announcements, but this also means that it may be a slightly lighter week of podcasts. Bioshock Infinite kicks-off the game discussion and we are all interested to see more about Ken Levine’s latest. Erik has been enjoying Monday Night Combat and is looking...

Mobcast 66: Nintendo Slipping, Fun Bad Games, Publisher Hype, and More

by Alex Martin in Games529 days ago

Jason and Raychul return to the Mobcast for five topics with Shoe and Brett. First, they talk collectibles. Brett covered his thoughts on Alan Wake’s Thermoses and cardboard cutouts in this article. They elaborate on that by discussing what makes a good collectible. Jason has been playing Disciples III for about a month. Apart from its unique unicorns, he likes nothing about it — so why play it? Raychul suggests he’s invested in the character he’s levelling up, but the more popular theory is that he’s crazy. Summer...

Game Scoop! Podcast: BioShocker

by Jon Cole in Games531 days ago

Game Scoop! kicks off with a bit of excitement about Bioshock Infinite, quickly proceeding into the monthly NPD numbers. The most notable news is the reemergence of the Xbox 360 as best-selling console, beating out both the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS for the first time in about three years. On the software side, NCAA Football took the top two spots with Crackdown 2 following them up. Arc Rise Fantasia also managed to squeeze in, giving Anthony a chance to talk about his score (6.5), praise the battle system, and promote it as a serious JRPG on...

Active Time Babble XX: The Fall RPG Preview | 08/12/2010

by Ross Adams in Games531 days ago

It’s been a pretty big year for RPGs, heck the existence of this podcast can attest to that, but the year isn’t over quite yet! There are still plenty of RPGs to come over the last few months of this year and that is the subject for this weeks episode of ATB. First up though is some recent RPG news, starting with the announcement of Double Fine’s next game Costume Quest. After having a go at real time strategy with Brutal Legend the developer is now giving the RPG genre a try and a more old school approach to boot. This is going...

Rebel FM Episode 72 – 08/13/10

by Alex Martin in Games531 days ago

In the world of Rebel FM, the best part of two hours is considered a short episode. 40 minutes of that is letters, though. To begin, Anthony is 25 hours into Arc Rise Fantasia, begging it to stop its droning grind. He tried going back to the original StarCraft too, but can’t deal with the inferior presentation. Matt picked up Civilization Revolution when it was free on the iPhone and has already figured a strategy to win at any difficulty. He’s also tried The Incident on iPhone, which is about avoiding falling debris. Tyler has briefly...

Filmspotting #312: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World / Top 5 Action Movie Romances

by Jon Cole in Movies532 days ago

Adam and Matty are a little bit removed from the games and music pop culture scene nowadays but they try their best to handle Edgar Wright’s latest film, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Their lack of experience in both of those likely have something to do with their dissatisfaction with the repetitive nature of the fight scenes, the unrealistic overarching plot, and the grating visual style. However, they do have something good to say about Wright’s filmmaking, which they agree is pretty well done. Matty also praises the execution of several...

Engadget Podcast 208 – 08.13.2010

by Jon Cole in Games, Tech532 days ago

With the Engadget Show pushing back the Engadget Podcast to this week, the crew has a lot of ground to cover in one episode. They start off by hammering the Blackberry Torch, which makes some minor advances while losing ground in terms of speed and hardware. Luckily, they don’t take long to transition to some great mobile news, namely the rumor that Sony Ericsson would be teaming up with Google to make what is ostensibly a PSP Phone. Josh has an incredible amount of faith in his sources for this one, stating that the device will run Android...

Drunken Gamers Radio 08.07.2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games532 days ago

Even though I’m a couple weeks late due to poor living conditions and yes, pure laziness, Happy 5th Anniversary to DGR! Here’s to 5 more years if your livers last that long. Moe is out this week so friend of the show RykerXL fills in quite seamlessly. A shorter than usual show kicks off as always with Drunk Dials and the mailbag. John and Hilden take the time to remind listeners about the Deathsmiles contest they have going on that they have received no entries for so far. A short games segment this week features City Builder for the...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 21

by Jonathan Downin in Games532 days ago

Madden 11 kicks-off the show this week as Jeff has put a bit more time into it. He has also been playing some Dragon Quest 9 which he isn’t completely loving. Garnett has a few comments on Arc Rise Fantasia as the group moves on to discuss the simple, yet interesting indie title, Minecraft. Similar to LOVE, it is being funded by early purchasers who also get in on a lead-up-to-launch beta. Brian also spends more time on StarCraft 2, and it feels like it should be given a break for a while. The Warning is full of insightful discussions this...

Podcast Beyond: The Fireside Chats

by Jon Cole in Games532 days ago

Podcast Beyond is a bit more intimate than normal this week, with Greg gone and the Ryan/Colin duo going at it alone. Some of the biggest Playstation-related news in the past few days was a story that Engadget published, revealing a rumored partnership between Google and Sony Ericsson in the form of games integration into Android 3.0. Ryan and Colin seem to be fairly optimistic about the prospects of a PSP phone, though Colin remains wary about the execution of such a product and the ability of Sony to deliver games consistently. Kojima upholds...

The Geekbox: Episode 78

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, TV532 days ago

This week starts with Ryan Scott mentioning the recent redesign of the Geekbox website. Ryan then goes on to say he has finally gotten into Geometry Wars 2, and he is one of the lone positive voices praising Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. Ryan Higgins is still waiting on his DC Universe Online beta invite, and in the mean time, has been toying with the idea of getting into Eve Online. A 12 minute Lost epilogue set to be included on the Season 6 Blu-ray has leaked, and although Ryan S. and Karen watched it, Ryan H. refuses to until he buys the...
