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 081 – PSN and Project Cafe talk

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Tech, TV282 days ago

Get ready for a romp of a show this week because we are hitting 2 huge stories. First up is the PSN debacle and all that is surrounding this situation. We get through the details quick and focus on the fallout that may follow in relation to not only PSN users, but also the development community. The “Welcome Back Package” also garners a few harsh words. Then it is on to the Wii 2, purported code named Project Cafe. I am overly excited at the rumors, so Jon and Erik bring the more pragmatic responses. Erik closes the show with some...

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

It is our first all Media Consumption Corner episode this week. We skip the news (except for a few words about Pauls Miller’s exit from Engadget), and go straight into stuff we have been– you know, consuming over the past month or so. 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. Also, be sure to let us...

Jon’s Podcast Recommendation #2: The Totally Rad Show

by Jon Cole in Games, Movies, Podcasts, TV352 days ago

When I first heard that The Totally Rad Show was going to be changing format from a weekly video show to a bite-sized daily segments, it seemed clear that this was primarily a move to serve sponsors and garner more “clicks”. After finally giving it a chance a couple weeks later, I was proven dead wrong and earned a new appreciation for one of Revision3′s longest running podcasts. Basically, our hosts Jeff Cannata, Daniel Trachtenburg, and Alex Albrecht take us on a daily ride into a single movie, video game, television show, comic...

Behind the Screened Door 02-07-2011

by Jon Cole in Movies, TV366 days ago

This week’s Screened-cast starts things off with discussion about this year’s Super Bowl. The pre-show butchering of the National Anthem, Frank Caliendo, crazy sports commentator shenanigans, and a jingoistic America F-yeah! montage join the terrible Black Eyed Peas halftime show add up to a bizarre peripheral Super Bowl experience, but the game itself and a handful of solid commercials seemed to make the whole thing worthwhile to the guys. Rorie reviewed The Roommate this week, which seems to be a boiled down, college-age version of...

CastMedium Podcast 068 – 01.27.11

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, Tech, TV380 days ago

After a week hiatus we are back. Did you hear that I’m the new producer for the Joystiq Podcast? Also, Jeff Gerstmann has been putting together a little show over the past couple weeks that you may want to check out. In games it’s all reactions and speculation on Nintendo and Sony’s latest forays into the handheld market. 3DS is coming in at a hot $249, and none of us are too pleased about it. Word that the PSP2 may have 3G connectivity built-in sounds nice, but wariness about data plans quickly quells our enthusiasm. Oh, and...

Drunken Gamers Radio

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 067 – 01.13.11

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Tech, TV394 days ago

This week is all about CES. The show starts with a few mentions of the great coverage from the Engadget Podcast and This is Only a Test. Starting off our own discussion is the Razor Switchblade. Then it’s on to Intel’s latest and greatest in the processor space, Sandy Bridge. Motorola then grabs the last 2 big CES topics. The Verizon iPhone is now official, but outside of providing more options to consumers, it doesn’t offer too much to get excited about. The Mac App store also gets a quick mention before moving onto to our media...

Behind the Screened Door 01-10-2011

by Jon Cole in Movies, TV394 days ago

Comic Vine’s Tony Guerrero joins this week’s Behind the Screened Door, guiding the opening of the show towards comic book fare with some talk about The Cape. All of the guys watched the pilot episode and seemed mostly unimpressed, pointing out the various plot holes, overly dramatic scenes, and lack of solid characterization for the titular character. Alex capitalizes on Tony’s appearance early in the show to cover some comic related news, including the idea of a Wonder Woman television show and the most promising comic film of...

CastMedium Podcast 065 – 12.30.10

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Tech, TV408 days ago

I trade an Erik for a Jon this week so it is another 2 man show, and with the amount of topics and time spent on each, adding another person might have made this one clock in at around an hour. Mentions of some end of the year podcast specials start the cast, and then it is quickly (and awkwardly) into games. We are taking this podcast to talk about some of the biggest news of the year, and motions controls definitely rank up there. OnLive also gets a bit of time since it really is pretty incredible that it is not only available to the public, but...

CastMedium Podcast 063 – 12.09.10

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Tech, TV429 days ago

We are back, and we are especially enthusiastic this week. Erik kicks things off with a discussion about A.I. on the latest Mobcast. Then it’s on to games with a bit of discussion about John Riccitello’s decision to cancel NBA Elite 11. We also hit a rumor that 343 Industries is said to be working on a Halo: Combat Evolved remake using the Halo Reach engine. In tech, Jon and I share our thoughts on what the PSP Phone may be– a PSP2 off-shoot or a true successor to the original. The Chrome App store also gets a lengthy chunk of...

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

by Alex Martin in Games, Tech, TV434 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...

CastMedium Podcast 062 – 12.01.10

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Tech, TV436 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...

CastMedium Podcast 061- 11.24.10

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, Tech, TV443 days ago

A few podcast shout-outs start the show and then it’s on into games with Black Friday deals. Jon is the sale master, so go ahead and follow him on twitter to make sure you don’t miss any of the holiday action. A quick mention of Civilization V on Mac leads into a discussion about Steam’s various services, including SteamCloud and SteamWorks. OnLive also gets some more time this week since I gave the service a spin– seriously, it’s good. In tech, Netflix has finally introduced a streaming only plan for $7.99, and iOS...
