by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies724 days ago

We get an early episode of at1UP this week due to Mike’s vacation schedule. It’s game talk from the beginning with the boys talking Red Dead Redemption and Alan points to some of the crazy bugs that pop up due to the game’s complex and open structure. Mike gives the 1UP E3 blogger contest another mention before he talks about 1UP’s alternate take on Game Night, Shame Night. With a name like that it shouldn’t be surprising that Sharkey is involved. This week’s movie pitch has the guys recasting Ghostbusters and...

Get ready for a full 15 minute prologue about comic stores. Alan starts the regular show with a bit of insight into what’s going on with 1UP SuperGuides recently, and the discussion moves on to impressions and stories aout Red Dead Redemption. This is one of the few mainstream games that all of the at1UP crew seems to be into, so it must be good. There is a Zombie Action News segment this week with Travis talking about the BBC reality/zombie show, Dead Set. It sounds like an interesting mashup of genres, and it is free on Youtube. Jade recommends a...

Mike starts the show with an attempt to add the Rocky Road candybar in to the Enemies of Candy category, but to everyone’s chagrin, Alan likes it. The regular show starts with the group discussing this week’s APB 1UP Cover Story. 1UP’s E3 blogger contest is in full swing, so if you have a creative idea and think blogging at E3 for 1UP sounds fun, head over to the contest page. The forthcoming DSiWare game, Photo Dojo, gets some time before the group gets into Iron Man 2 (the game and movie). Spoilers abound, so skip the 14:45...

It’s clearly to many that at1UP is the flagship podcast of 1UP.com however what is considered to many as the flagship show, 4 Guys 1UP, is currently in an odd limbo. Jeremy Parish has stepped down as host, Mike and the gang fill us in on the details of what to expect on that feed for the next few weeks. It sounds like there will be alot of testing the waters with 3 distinct hosts and formats. 1UPs game night will feature Halo: Reach this week, the guys briefly hit on their thoughts of the beta so far. Mike also briefly talks about his experience...

Things kick off this week with the guys discussing whether Gordon Ramsay should be added to their list of enemies of food. Following on from the bad CGW covers feature is an upcoming bad EGM covers feature, Mike shares some stories about why he personally isn’t a fan of some of the covers. Checking in for some gaming updates immediately gets sidetracked by Mike wondering why Pikachu never evolved into Raichu on the Pokemon anime. Jade surprisingly knows the answer and informs everyone about an episode which focused on the very question. Movies...

With Marvel vs Capcom 3 announced the at1up crew speculate which characters may be appearing in the new game. Sleep is Death recently got reviewed on 1UP, Travis is quick to say it isn’t strictly a game but more of a creative tool. Two players collaborate to create a story of sorts which gets turned into a comic at the end of the process, everyone is really impressed by it. Jade was apparently going to review Again but whatever reason that isn’t happening in the forseeable future. It’s perhaps for the best as she has alot of issues...

The 1UP offices got a visit from a geniune luchador, El Elegido, this week and as you might expect there are some great stories to be told. He was there to help promote the new Lucha Libre game and took a shine to Mike who apparently closely resembles another luchador. El Elegido was also at a Konami event that Alan attended, once more stories of El Elegidos antics are out of the way Alan shares his thoughts on some of the games he saw. While there’s nothing new to report on Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker there are some some positive reactions...

Alan’s article about Easter Eggs went up last week unfortunately at some point during the process every instance of the word “to” was replaced leading to lots of odd grammtical errors. The backlash that followed leads to a brief discussion about the editing situation at 1UP and their lack of copy editors. Mike shares some stories from his time at Wondercon, it would seem he didn’t make a good impression on Jerry Bruckheimer. Jade didn’t do much at the con other than buy some figures which leads the guys talking about...

A forthcoming 1UP feature on easter eggs in recent games is covered in full by Alan at the beginning of this week’s episode. Also, Mike has been getting into Pokemon after being required to carry the Pokewalker and he is doing his best to game the system. The real fun begins with the epic discussion about the “Enemies of Comedy.” There is a long list that starts with Dan Aykroyd, much to everyone’s dismay, but the undeniably lead Enemy of Comedy is Eddy Murphy. Everyone agrees on this decision, but the absent Travis Williams...

At1UP, your partial look at the goings-on behind the scenes at 1UP, kicks-off this week with talk of a few new features on 1UP, including one about the top 25 badass boss battles. The focus then moves onto the classic LucasArts adventure game Gladius since Mike managed to get Travis to give it a playthrough. After a quick point to 1UP’s Red Steel 2 Game Night, the tale of the big sandwich commences. Apparently, in a PR move for the launch of the DS XL, Nintendo sent ridiculously oversized sandwiches to various outlets, and 1UP received a...

At1UP may just be taking the title of “ultimate geek podcast” from the Geekbox. The addition of Alan Johnson to lineup continues to lead into the world of fan fiction and examination of minutiae in popular franchises. Comics kick things off before the group moves into a wrap-up discussion of GDC. Jade and Alan have been playing the new Pokemon game for DS and this results in Mike getting worked up over the implementation of the Pokewalker. Jade continues to play through Dragon Quest VIII and has had a somewhat disappointing first...

The Game Developers Conference is on this week, and that somehow means no game talk on at1UP. Never fear though, Mike and crew deliver some great discussion this week. Oscars talk kicks things off, but there is a general sense of apathy about the event. The cast really kicks into high gear when Alan pitches his idea for a Spider Man FPS. Without missing a beat, he then moves on to a rant about the “dickery” present in Star Wars– brilliant stuff here. Sticking with comics, the group laments the under rated Mr. Freeze and pits the...

The cast starts with a special emergency segment this week with Sam, Tina and Alan discussing the recent news of a shake-up at Infinity Ward. The two studio heads/co-founders have been let go in what is assumed to be “difference in opinion” between them and Activision. The group gives an overview of the situation and discuss their takes. At1UP proper starts with some more Olympics/Canada talk before the group touches on a couple recent 1UP features including one about fanfiction with some great Kirk on Spock art by Travis. Lord of the...

Get ready for some Olympics updates at the beginning because Mike has deemed at1UP “the official Winter Olympics podcast of 1UP.” The 1UP cover story this week is Final Fantasy XIII and Tina is on to talk about a contest to win a poster of art from the game. Matt Leone has released another episode of Backstage which covers the making of BioShock 2 and Game Night is delayed until Friday for some special StarCraft 2 action. Travis finished Mass Effect 2 and proceeds to baffle Tina as to how a person can play “long” RPGs. Mike...

Nascar (what?) kicks things into high gear this week and the mention of the Super Bowl spawns a conversation about the much more interesting Puppy Bowl. Moving into games, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth sounds to be an interesting direction for the Ace Attorney series. Travis also talks about finding Mass Effect 1 saves online for import into Mass Effect 2. Mike talks about his trip to Vegas to see UFC Undisputed 2010 and then Justing talks about his B+ review of BioShock 2, which will be featured on this week’s Game Night....
