Rebel FM

Rebel FM Episode 87 – 12/17/10

by Alex Martin in Games517 days ago

PopCap blogger Jeff Green’s next stop on his podcast tour is at Rebel FM. He starts the talk with World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, which practically turns the MMO into a new game. Next, Arthur boasts about his Pac Man Championship Edition DX score. Like Jeff, He’s been playing a multiplayer addition that could be its own game: Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam. He prefers it to Bad Company 2′s multiplayer because it is less exploitable. He also compares Crysis 2 to Halo, although he’s worried about the console versions. Anthony...

by Ross Adams in Games, Podcasts521 days ago

The regular crew are joined by Popcap’s own Jeff Green for this weeks Bombcast. Some general conversation kicks off the show as usual, some of which of course focuses on Jeff Greens move from EA to Popcap. The free Doritos games released on XBLA this week start the game talk, Harm’s Way gets quickly written off but the Wipeout inspired Crash Course gets heaps of praise. Vinny and Ryan played some Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit together, with Ryan playing a whole lot more on his own. They love the game, they note that the autolog social...

Out of the Game

Out of the Game, Episode 18

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, TV553 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...

Out of the Game

Out of the Game, Ep. 17

by Jonathan Downin in Games595 days ago

Out of the Game is back after an almost 10 month hiatus. The full crew is back, minus Luke Smith, who disappeared from the show some months before it went on break. After the initial pleasantries, the whole show is one big conversation about the approach to developing levels and experiences that walk the fine line between being too hard and too easy. Shawn and N’Gai in particular talk about how requiring the player to use learned game mechanics to feel a larger sense of accomplishment as difficulty increases. There are a lot of good stories...

Mobcast

Mobcast 69: Failed Hardware, PR Gatekeepers, Gaming Dreams, and More

by Alex Martin in Games, Tech619 days ago

Jeff “Podcast Slut” Green’s tour bus parks outside Bitmob Towers this week. Inside, Jeff is hosted by Shoe, Demian, and Aaron for a nostalgic show. They start by reminiscing about the failed hardware they were fans of. It’s an excuse to rue the Dreamcast’s demise, but they also talk about some of the crazy peripherals they’ve been shown, as members of the press. After that, they look at print media. Shoe can’t see a future in it, even though everyone misses the time and care they invested in magazines....

The Geekbox

The Geekbox: Episode 80

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, TV631 days ago

Jeff Green continues to make his round on the podcasts, and he offers the classic GFW Radio intro at the beginning of this week’s episode. Also, Alice Liang makes her Geekbox debut as the newest regular member of the show and she fits in perfectly. The group starts this episode with WoW, but everyone is still in hibernation mode waiting for Cataclysm. Jeff tells a story about the hiring of Ryan Scott, and how he won-out over Andrew Fitch, who eventually got a different job at 1UP causing a weird situation between the two. After some comic...

Mobcast

Mobcast Episode 30

by Jon Cole in Games907 days ago

This week’s Mobcast welcomes the Legendary Thread reunion, teased on last week’s Geekbox.  The podcast begins with the origins of World of Warcraft as told by Blizzard’s Sam Didier, Cory Stockton, and Greg Street, who continue to cut in throughout the podcast with inside stories. As may be expected, the crew can’t help but discuss how they got initially addicted to WoW and how they eventually tried to get put the game down.  Demian talks about how he’s been going cold turkey for two months after five years of addiction, only to pick...

4 Guys 1UP

4 Guys 1UP: 11/06/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games923 days ago

Episode 2 of 4 Guys 1UP is immediately high energy with newly appointed Editor-in-Chief of www.ea.com, Jeff Green, as the special guest this week. Things start off with Jeff hitting on a plethora of topics, all centered around his transition from press to development to PR/corporate online content master. A lot of this is treaded ground, but Jeff is entertaining as always. The solid game talk doesn’t start until the 1:20:00 minute mark though. Moving into games, Jeff talks about recent tent-pole PC releases Torchlight, Borderlands and Dragon...

Mobcast Episode 006

by Jonathan Downin in Games1079 days ago

With Robert Ashley and Jeff Green on this one it feels like an episode of Out of the Game or the old GFW Radio.  It’s impossible to listen to something with these guys on it and not hear some interesting stories and discussion.  Former 1UPer Che Chou is also on talking a bit about Forza 3. Jeff shares has a few stories to tell about his experiences being on the PR side of E3 and showing his new game My Sims: Agents.  It sounds like it can be a little tough at E3 with a game that is not targeted at the enthusiasts. A little discussion about...
