by Jonathan Downin in Uncategorized303 days ago

It’s all about the iPad this week since Jon finally decided to take the plunge into the world of large screen iOS land. Jon hits his general impressions of his new iPad and then we go directly into games and close-out with a short app section. Here’s a fat list of the games/apps we cover: Galaxy on Fire 2 Sword & Sworcery Aralon HD Fling iPad joystick accessories Infinity Field Robokill Battleheart iPacross NFS Hot Pursuit Flipboard Terra Follow us: @castmedium Jonathan Downin - @jonathandownin - Game Thing Daily Jon Cole...

CastMedium Podcast 075 – Homefront Talk

by Jonathan Downin in Games310 days ago

It’s time to talk about games– well, a game that is. It’s all about Homefront this week. That’s right, all 3 of us played through it and are here to share our opinions on the experience. We spend 40+ minutes talking about the story, the gameplay and multiplayer. It’s not all great, but there are some surprising things about Homefront that you will miss if you write it off without playing it. Also, don’t miss this informative article about podcasting. It covers the gamut from preparation and motivation to editing...

Idle Thumbs GDC 2011

by Jon Cole in Games316 days ago

It’s been made pretty clear over the last year that the CastMedium staff members are big fans of (The) Idle Thumbs (Podcast), despite the fact that their feed has remained dormant for almost six months. Fortunately, that fact has recently been dashed by a couple of “Conf Grenades” that the guys released during this year’s Game Developers Conference. Since these podcasts have managed to fly under some of our radars despite nearly rabid fandom, we thought it might be useful to bring them to the attention of both Idle Thumbs...

Required Listening: The best of 1UP Yours year 1

by Ross Adams in Podcasts329 days ago

GiantBomb user ZanzibarBreeze has taken it upon himself to start compiling “best of” compilations for various podcasts. While it is still a vast amount of time to cover he has rather smartly limited himself to a single year of content for each episode of his show This Year. The first two episodes covered ’05 and ’06 of The Hotspot, a show I personally haven’t listened to. Episode 3 has caught my attention however, and many others I’m sure, because it covers ’06 of the near universally loved 1UP Yours. This...

CastMedium Podcast 073 – Macbook Pro/iPad 2 talk

by Jonathan Downin in Tech331 days ago

We have been pretty tech-heavy recently, and that trend continues this week. Apple took it upon themselves to dominate the post-CES tech space with a sizable update to their MacBook Pro line and a move to outclass the forthcoming tablet competition. It was high time that I upgrade my machine so I picked up a 2.2 quad core i7 15″ with 1680×1050 (yeah, we messed up the resolution in the podcast) screen upgrade. It’s a fine machine and we touch on the upgrades in the recent Sandy Bridge iteration. The big news is the iPad 2. It seems...

Talking Points #1 – Mobile games in a traditional gaming context

by Jonathan Downin in Games332 days ago

We offered some personal podcast recommendations last week, and this week we are starting a new series of posts. The Talking Points series of posts will focus on finding interesting conversation points from podcasts, pointing you towards them, and furthering the discussion in the comments. This week I am ripping straight from the inspiration of this idea, Jon’s twitter post from last week regarding a discussion on Rebel FM featuring Ryan O’Donnell arguing the merits of iOS games in the gaming space. Arthur is staunch in his stance...
