Tekzilla 171 – Homeland Security Seizes URLS!

by Jon Cole in Tech418 days ago

After burning through some Xbox 360 TV and Google Earth news, Patrick and Veronica try to help a viewer who wants to put Skype on his television in a more native format than just slapping a Windows interface on a 50″ screen. Next, the pair get into a commonly asked questions about audio conversion, namely how to do it without too much expense to the quality. One of the most important things they recommend is to rip lossless files so if you need to convert them for the sake of a specific device, the transcoding doesn’t affect quality...

Podcast Beyond: Arsenic Bacteria’s Favorite Show

by Jon Cole in Games418 days ago

Greg Miller joins Podcast Beyond after a week away from the reins, bringing in Game Scoop! co-host Daemon Hatfield for much hilarity. The Playstation Move has shipped about 4 million units and Daemon goes a bit crazy over the fact that Sony has only released “shipped” numbers rather than the amount of product actually sold to consumers. Colin talks a little bit about the delay of Explodemon and how he finds it odd that people accuse it of being derivative of Explosion Man despite the fact that it entered development first. In the Official...

Rebel FM Episode 86 – 12/03/10

by Alex Martin in Games419 days ago

With Tyler yet to return, Area 5′s Ryan O’Donnell and IGN’s Greg Miller join for an extra-long Rebel FM. This episode includes a bonus hour-long spoiler-filled discussion of Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood after the usual game talk and letters. Anthony starts with Brotherhood’s multiplayer, which is surprisingly underpopulated. It’s not a great problem here, but they wonder if unlockable perks hurt the longevity of multiplayer games. Arthur calls Battlefield: Bad Company 2′s Vietnam DLC the baby of its mother-game...

Episode 39 – The City on the Edge of F*** You – 12/02/2010

by Alex Martin in Games, Tech, TV420 days ago

Will, Norm, and Gary continue the recent trend of long podcasts with this monster. They start with the holiday season and the TV specials of the US and UK. When I recovered from my rage coma (induced by Will saying “Welsh and English are pretty much the same”), they were talking about Norm and Gary’s TV-buying adventure. They looked at bigger versions of Will’s 58-inch Panasonic VT25 and Samsung’s 9000 series. Apart from the purchasing process, they detail the ins and outs, 3D gaming, and the unique properties of plasma...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 216

by Jon Cole in Games422 days ago

Julian returns to the show after a fairly decent absence (not including prerecorded segments) and opens up the show talking about the familiar topic of World of Warcraft. Shawn has been away from Blizzard’s moneymaker for a while, so he discusses what it’s like returning to an old friend with some new tricks. The guys also talk about some of the changes made in preparation for the upcoming Cataclysm update, which seem to optimize early-game play in several ways. After a brief stint of iPhone/iPad recommendations (Cut the Rope, Rage HD,...

CastMedium Podcast 062 – 12.01.10

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Tech, TV422 days ago

It was a slow news week, but as always, we fill our 30 minute quota and then some. Kinect sales talk starts and ends the gaming news, but then it is onto a few games. Erik talks NBA Jam after spending some time with it over the Thanksgiving holiday. Then Need for Speed and Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood get their due time. Those games are pretty good if you haven’t heard. With no real tech news Jon throws us a curveball and get’s us discussing the recent rumors surrounding the Xbox 360 becoming even more of a media hub with potential...
