Drunken Gamers Radio 02.13.2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games821 days ago

A Hilden-less show again this week as he is off dealing with real life (read: his wife told him he had better things to do), and the show is a bit lacking in being a duo. Like last week, Moe and John had a bit of trouble with the audio equipment and share their adventures to start off the show. Voicemails are skipped so a few emails get things moving for real. Blaster Master: Overdrive for WiiWare is first up in the reviews segment. John seems to enjoy it, but spends most of the time explaining to Moe what the original Blaster Master is all about...

This week there seems to be a little something missing from the show. Oh right, it’s Hilden’s drunken ramblings! John and Moe run a two man show without a firm grasp on the audio equipment, which means no Drunk Dials and right through to emails. They also remind us about the contest they have to win a copy of Bayonetta. First up in the reviews segment is Chess With Friends for the iPhone which John says has a few problems but is overall a competent chess game. Next up is MAG for the PS3 which Moe has a few criticisms of, but still recommends...

The show starts off this week as usual with some entertaining, uplifting Drunk Dials but unfortunately the mailbag is not so lucky and ends on a downer. But doing their best to bring things right back up, the guys announce they are holding a contest to win a copy of Bayonetta which was donated by a listener. All you have you do is design the craziest Japanese video game character possible — this should be interesting. The reviews segment starts off this week with No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle for the Wii. John admitted that he hadn’t...

The guys have a bit of a shorter show this week with no Feature Presentation because they admittedly just couldn’t think of any. A longer than usual Drunk Dials/mailbag segment starts off the show with some really great messages. Reviews this week are a little light and start off with Dark Void Zero for DSiWare, which John says is very old-school, although can get very monotonous quickly. Next up is Muscle March for WiiWare which he proclaims game of the year in the same way that Noby Noby Boy was game of last year. The retro review for the...

Coming to us semi-live again this week (via a webcam on UStream) DGR starts off with a short Drunk Dial segment and emails before moving on to a “very January review segment”. First up is You Will Die, an Xbox Indie game which Hilden describes as a boss-rush shmup hybrid which doesn’t sound bad for $1. Staying with the Xbox Indie shmup theme, next up is Decimation-X which is a Space Invader clone with bullet hell elements added to it. Random Retro review this week is a little bit of a dud with NBA In The Zone for N64 which is as...

Drunken Gamers Radio 01.10.10

by Derek Lavigne in Games856 days ago

The Drunken Gamers ran a semi-live broadcast this week and thus got a bit more drunk than usual, which of course leads to more hilarity. Drunk Dials and emails start off the show again this week after being relegated to the end the previous episodes. Starting off the review segment is Trajectile for DSiWare, which John completely fails in describing, so they quickly move on. Next up is Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond, which Hilden seems to love despite most reviews being very negative on the game. A recorded segment by friend of the show Phil...

by Derek Lavigne in Games864 days ago

Starting off the new year with the same old drunkards, DGR changes up the show formatting a little bit this week and starts off with emails while the drunk dials move to the end of the show. One email asks the guys about the best way to get into shmups without having to deal with bullet hell. All three agree that Raiden Fighters Aces is a good place to start. The reviews segment starts off with Cartoon Wars-Gunner for the iPhone, which Hilden has been enjoying and describes as stick figure horde mode with upgrades. Next up is Castlevania: The Adventure...

Closing out the year, the DGR crew bring us their version of the game of the years, which they call the Daryl Awards in honor of their old landlord who was able to squeeze money from them out of nothing. Simply replace ‘money’ with ‘fun’ and you have the criteria for the DGR top 3 games of the year. They also plan on reading listener top 3 lists and give a final award to the most voted for listener pick. Starting off with their number 3 picks Hilden chose the open-world playground Red Faction: Guerrilla, while Moe and John...

Drunken Gamers Radio 12.18.09

by Derek Lavigne in Games878 days ago

This week is DGR’s “Wholesome Family Christmas Hour” special, which was recorded live on Friday night while broadcasting live on UStream. Joining the normal crew is Phil Kollar of Game Informer and Sean Sands of Gamers With Jobs. They start off the show with some naughty letters to Santa, one of which is the first thing I’ve ever seen that they refuse to read. The first review this week is Pac-Man CE for the iPhone, which John thinks is alright for the price but could use some work on the controls and Sean Sands says he found...

by Derek Lavigne in Features882 days ago

Editor’s note: Casting Gear is a series about podcasting and the tools used in the process.

In addition to listing the software and hardware used, a brief rundown of the work-flow for the given podcast will be provided. Delving into technical minutiae isn’t the goal here, it is to provide a window into the different approaches that are in practice. The following text, unless otherwise noted,...

The full trio is back this week and start off the show by announcing that they will be doing their annual live Christmas show on Friday the 18th on uStream. John then goes into his Twitter battle with Gamers With Jobs’ Shawn Andrich which caused him to disappear for a week. From there they move in to Drunk Dials and emails for the week. Reviews start off with Dragon’s Lair for the iPhone, which the guys agree looks fantastic but does have a few issues with control. PixelJunk Shooter receives heaps of praise from all 3 guys after not...
