CastMedium Podcast 087 – Media Consumption Corner #5

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, Movies, TV239 days ago

It’s time for another round of media, but we do briefly hit some Apple stuff from WWDC before jumping into the show proper. In games it is a mix of throwbacks and new technology. I spend a few contradiction-filled minutes talking about Dream:scape (I really do like it) and then hit some DarkStar One. Then it is on to Jon who has finally made the plunge into OnLive. Jon kicks off movies with some X-Men: First Class talk, and then I hit a trio of documentaries from HBO. Erik starts TV talk with Game of Thrones (no spoilers) and that leads into...

CastMedium Podcast 083 – Media Consumption Corner #4

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, Movies268 days ago

It’s that time again where we look back over the media-related items that we have been consuming and we have a long list of things this time around. There is a lot of great stuff in here, but even if you are not going to look into all of the things we mention this time around, do yourself a favor and catch the 2 videos below. They are both music related, but they are both amazing in their own rights. Michael Bolton – Straight out of Compton — Someone make this happen. TV The Wire Game of Thrones Sherlock Ken Burns – Civil...

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, Movies, TV352 days ago

It is our first all Media Consumption Corner episode this week.

Here’s the breakdown by medium: Games: Dead Space 2, Dead Space iOS TV: Buffy/Angel, When We Left Earth Movies: Exit Through the Gift Shop, King’s Speech, I’m Still Here Books: House of Suns We are back to a regular focused show next week, so check back for that.

Mobcast 89: You don’t know Mobcast edition

by Alex Martin in Games, Misc382 days ago

Tom “Cookie Masterson” Gottlieb introduces an atypical Mobcast. It’s a trivia-themed episode, starting with the question of why games trivia is so rare in quiz shows and, indeed, trivia games. In a pre-recorded segment, a handful of Jellyvision employees (developers of You Don’t Know Jack) get to add their insight. The hosts and developers also talk about their favorite trivia events and games, including their experiences with bar quizzes, The Guy Game, Jeopardy, and Pictionary Man. Their final topic is the difference between...

The Oddcast – Episode 50 – 1/18/2011

by Alex Martin in Games, Misc, Movies387 days ago

Starting the episode in medias res, Alice, Chris, Sam, and Tina laugh at Jerry Rice and Nitus’ Dog Football for Wii. The latest trailer for Catherine is almost as bizarre, but for sexier reasons. Next, they move on to a Nintendo-heavy news segment. Nintendo CEO, Satoru Iwata, admitted the 3DS is probably safe for young children. Indie developer The Behemoth is holding a Castle Crashers tournament with a gold-plated Xbox 360 as the grand prize. Nobody’s surprised at Nintendo’s plans to repackage old games for the 3DS. Finally,...

Drunken Gamers Radio 1.9.2011

by Nikko Kusanagi in Games, Misc, Movies, TV393 days ago

It’s the first episode since the DGR Daryl awards. John, Moe, and Hilden brought you their favorite games of 2010 last week. This week however, they’re simply talking about their favorite things in general for the year including movies, TV, and other hot topics. Drunk dials and mailbag as always starts out the show, then they jump right into talking about 2010. What impressed them, disappointed them, or accomplished neither. Random Retro Review continues. This week’s game is Jurassic Park (SNES). Did they love it, hate...

CastMedium Podcast 066 – 01.06.11

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, Tech401 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...

This is Only a Test – Episode 43 – The SARS Mask Cast – 12/30/2010

by Alex Martin in Misc, Tech407 days ago

Starting with Norm’s Blackjack strategy, the WANG (Will, Ana, Norm, and Gary) deliver an unfocused retrospective podcast. But first, Gary’s new tradition of watching the Big Lebowski prompts a discussion of Cohen brothers’ films (with spoilers from 24:30-25:00). Next, they talk about tech highlights and lowlights of the year, looking at Apple products, social-networking apps, and 3DTVs. After plugging Rush Coil’s chiptune Christmas album, they move on to the news. Netflix Instant takes up 20% of the USA’s Internet bandwidth; a discussion...

1UP.com – The Oddcast – 12/20/2010

by Alex Martin in Misc416 days ago

This is no ordinary episode of the Oddcast. Instead, frequent contributor Tole Cover presents a dance mega-mix of their best bits. His blog post lists the samples (from Auld Lang Syne to Jay Z) and explains why he’s done this. He’s been working on it since August, and must really love the podcast to have put this level of work into a 20-minute-plus mix. And if you think this is a good idea, keep an eye on the ongoing My Brother, My Brother and Me mix-tape project. Happy holidays from the 1UP Oddcast crew! Special remix by @tole_cover. Runtime...

CastMedium Podcast 064 – 12.16.10

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, Tech421 days ago

It’s a quiet week with Jon out. That leaves just Erik and I talking about the VGA announcements. There were some cool reveals and we are especially excited about The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. SSX: Deadly Descents has us worried, though. In tech, Erik talks about getting hit by the Gawker media password database crack. If you don’t know if your password may have been compromised, check using this tool. Even if you weren’t, it’s never a bad time to update your myriad of logins and passwords. Check back next week for a special...

Out of the Game, Episode 18

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, TV455 days ago

Another month, another Out of the Game. Shawn kicks things off with another adventure into the communities of older online games. Call of Duty 2 is the vehicle this time around, and he has a few stories to tell about the strange social cultures that have built up around this classic. Next up is The Walking Dead. The guys go in-depth on both the new TV series and the Comic, so if you want to avoid spoiler, you may want to skip on past this lengthy segment (spoilers – 19:04-58:25)– otherwise, the guys have a lot of insight into the depth...

at1UP: 10/26/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, Movies, TV471 days ago

So, it is the last episode of at1UP for a while after the recent layoffs that included Jade. Mike also reveals that 1UP will be moving to a smaller office space in December, so it is pretty clear that 1UP is going through some serious changes. On to this week’s episode, the whole at1UP gang (past and present) is in the house and the show starts with talk of Mike and Travis contributing to a Kirby quilt project. Then it is on to a call-in from Shirk Week’s on Matt Shirk. Alan has a few problems with Costume Quest, Travis defends Castlevania,...

at1UP: 10/13/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, Movies, TV484 days ago

It’s an extra long show this week and the talk starts with the regular crew touching on the lengthy process of getting the new (quite nice) 1UP.com relaunched. They also address some of the community concerns surrounding the new design and even touch on some of the issues surrounding the loss of Scott Sharkey. It Nintober, as the crew call it, and 1UP has a special retrospective on the top 25 NES games. Travis has been digging into some back catalog titles and talks about his recent time with Arcanum from GoG.com. Jade covers her time at...

CastMedium Podcast 055 – 10.12.10

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, Movies, Tech487 days ago

This week’s episode starts with word that Scott Sharkey is no longer at 1UP– the timing of which seems weirdly close to a redesign of the 1UP.com site. Enslaved gets a final (not likely) mention in the games section, and the news of a Gears of War 3 delay to Fall of 2011 leads into a discussion about marquee titles of 2012 and the timeline for next-gen system announcements. Windows Phone 7 details have finally been revealed, and it looks like there will be a lot of handsets to choose from come November 8th. Media Consumption Corner: The...
