Episode 44 – Welcome to the CESpool – 1/6/201

by Alex Martin in Games, Tech385 days ago

Very tired, and live from a Las Vegas hotel room, Will, Norm, and Matt (with others in the background) report from the first day of CES. Except it’s a Whiskey Media  live stream, so it’s long and unfocussed, and the stream cuts out in the middle of one of Norm’s stories. They start with LG’s smart microwaves and washing machines. LG also showed a powerful Optimus 2X “superphone” and some 3DTVs. Intel have satisfied Warner Bros. with DRM on their Sandy Bridge chips, so we should see official HD movie downloads...

Gamers with Jobs

GWJ Conference Call Episode 221

by Jon Cole in Games386 days ago

Our very own Jonathan Downin joins the latest episode of Gamers with Jobs for a prediction-packed show. The holidays have granted a bit of time to the crew, however, so they get into some of the games they hit from their backlogs. Elysium briefly gets into Civilization V, which seems to be improved from the latest patch with some enhanced enemy AI. Julian dives farther back into the catalog, discovering Mass Effect 2 through the Steam sale and pouring heaps of praise on the game’s characters and varied gameplay. After Jonathan discusses some...

Tekzilla 180 – Windows Activation Secrets, Top Blu-rays of 2010!

by Jon Cole in Tech386 days ago

On this first Tekzilla show of 2011, Patrick and Robert ask viewers for their CES questions for this week’s conference. A viewer question opens up the proper show, asking some questions about how Windows 7 activation works. Ultimately, it boils down to easy activation for reinstallations with no hardware changes and rising difficulty as hardware changes or multiple devices come into play. Tuesday podcasts mean HD Nation and the end of 2010 means a Blu-Ray roundup. Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog, Kick-Ass, Avatar, Battlestar Galactica,...

CastMedium Podcast 066 – 01.06.11

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, Tech387 days ago

The news cycle is just kicking back into gear, so we take this week’s episode to discuss what we would like to see in games and tech this year. I start things off with my readiness for new consoles, but I seem to be alone in this. Jon then talks up the 2011 PS3 release schedule and Erik pines for day and date digital releases alongside retail launches. Jon closes-out games with love for avatar awards. In tech, I lament the now dusty-feeling state of iOS. Jon discusses what he wants to see in an iPad hardware refresh and Erik again discusses...

The Engadget Podcast Show 001: CES 2011 Part 1 – 01.05.2011

by Jon Cole in Tech387 days ago

This is the first “Engadget Show Podcast Showcast Vegas CES 2011 Mashup” and the guys are clearly still figuring out how they want to do these daily video shows. Intel’s 2nd Generation Core processors (known as Sandy Bridge before today) and AMD’s Fusion chips steal the first day of coverage, marking a flood of laptops taking full advantage of this powerful technology. In this category is the new Lenovo ThinkPad X120e, which redeems the product line with a legitimately high-powered machine that’s excellent for road...

Mobcast 86: EGM memories, New Year’s gaming resolutions, and more

by Alex Martin in Games388 days ago

It’s an EGM reunion on this week’s Mobcast. Michael Donahoe (now at developer Bigpoint) and Greg Ford (who’s currently at business school) join Bitmob’s Shoe and Demian. This is the first Mobcast of 2011, so Demian asks for their resolutions. Most involve playing through their backlog of uncompleted games, but Demian’s is to play World of Warcraft instead of Lord of Ultima, which he calls one of the worst games of all time. Next, they share what they missed about EGM. None of them have access to such a large library...

Interactive Distractions – EP 160 – Chew on these Noms

by Nikko Kusanagi in Games389 days ago

HAPPY NEW YEAR from the InDis crew! Chris, Geoff, and Travis kick off a high energy 2011 podcast season with game of the year nominations! Before the feature though, in Distractions… Travis is taking piano lessons in Rock Band 3. Geoff has finally discovered PC gaming through the majesty of a properly running unit and Steam. Chris is in a quick pick-up-and-play mood, so he dives head first into Dragon Quest 9 on the DS. No news, no new releases with RPT which makes the first show of 2011 a quick one! This is a good thing because next week, there...

CastMedium Podcast Awards 2010: listeners’ choice

by Jonathan Downin in Features391 days ago

Wow– just wow. I have to say right up front here that I, along with the whole CM crew, were blown away by the response this year. It’s clear that we are not the only ones who are passionate about podcasts with 5,500+ votes submitted for this years listeners’ choice poll. Just to put that into perspective, last year’s poll garnered 338 votes. Crazy town. It was great to see that no single podcast ran away with the vote this time around. It was contentious up to the very end with 3 podcasts leading the pack. Here’s how...
