Aaron Thomas made it out to Bizarre Creations to talk to Jeb Talbot and Garreth Wilson about some of the topics on this week’s podcast, leading to somewhat disjointed conversations where Shoe and crew are intermittently interrupted by prerecorded parts of the interview.
Otherwise, a Bitmob-staff only cast talks about the recent release of Bad Company [...]
Mobcast
The Mobcast follows a simple format of 'four people, four subjects' where each member of the podcast brings in their own gaming-related topic to discuss with the group. Hosted by Bitmob founder Dan Hsu, with co-founder Demian Linn a frequent second chair, the show pulls in a range of industry veterans, including journalists, developers and the occassional community member, to discuss gaming trends, history, culture. Rarely focusing on recent news or games, Mobcast is more about gamers and the guests shared gaming experience.

Mobcast Episode 43
March 2nd, 2010
In a continuation of last week’s lineup of comedians to appear in the Cross Platform Comedy show, Sheila Bryson and Dave Karraker join Dan and Demian for this week’s Mobcast. Fortunately, these two guests bring some more industry rep than the other half of their crew, both working for several gaming PR companies including Crystal [...]
Mobcast Episode 42
February 24th, 2010
This week’s Mobcast brings on gamer comedians Jeff Reitman and Adam McLaughlin along with the oft mentioned “Shoe’s Girlfriend”, Raychul Moore. Dan’s topic opens up the podcast by asking why “comedy” is a genre limited to film and not games. Clearly this is an intricate topic, but Jeff and Adam conclude that the interactive medium [...]
Mobcast Episode 41
February 16th, 2010
The Mobcast is back to their typical format, bringing on Garnett Lee of Shacknews and Justin Fassino of Machinima.com. Demian’s topic kicks things off, asking the importance, function, and marketing capabilities of beta trials of games. Most everyone can agree that betas serve many masters, but ultimately provide important information concerning multiplayer gameplay, especially in [...]
Mobcast Episode 40
February 9th, 2010
The Mobcast is a little disjointed this week, with Aaron intermittently playing some prerecorded clips from an interview he did with Bioshock 2’s Mellisa Miller and Hogarth De La Plante. He asked them the same questions asked on the podcast, though, so the transitions aren’t too jarring.
Anthony’s topic kicks things off, asking how gaming websites [...]
Mobcast Episode 39
February 3rd, 2010
This week’s Mobcast is fairly low-key, with a mostly Bitmob crew joined by Raychul Moore. Shoe’s topic is a slightly retooled version of a previous topic, asking the mobbers to think up one tiny thing they’d like to change about games with no strings attached. Clearly Mass Effect 2 is on everyone’s minds, as many [...]
Mobcast Episode 38
January 26th, 2010
Aaron Thomas delivers a special, retrospective version of the Mobcast this week, delving back into the show’s backlog of topics and sharing them with designer, producer, and public relations supervisor from 2K Games. First off, the guys talk about how bugs and glitches effect a game’s process, except this time on the development side. Sean [...]
Mobcast Episode 37
January 20th, 2010
Shoe is back from the dead to relieve Aaron Thomas for a week, joined by mostly Bitmob staff and his girlfriend, Raychul Moore. The topics for this week tread some very familiar ground, but it’s nice to get a short reprieve from the guest-heavy episodes for a more traditional Mobcast.
The first and likely most interesting [...]
Mobcast Episode 36
January 12th, 2010
Joe Dodson and Kristin Reilly join the Mobcast this week, resulting in yet another mini-Gamespot reunion for fans of the good old days. The first topic of the week asks the crew what they’d consider some of their greatest gaming achievements. Greg Ford chimes in with a common, yet notorious one of completing the Facility [...]
Mobcast Episode 35
January 4th, 2010
Bitmob’s own Aaron Thomas and Demian Linn are joined by Matt Chandronait and Anthony Gallegos to usher in the new year, but carry along a little bundle of memories from the last. With such being the case, the guys discuss their biggest surprises and disappointments of 2009, starting off with Aaron who was disappointed by [...]
Mobcast Episode 34
December 22nd, 2009
This week’s Mobcast is a Gamespot reunion of sorts, bringing our host Aaron Thomas to the table along with 2K’s Greg Kasavin, Giant Bomb’s Brad Shoemaker, and soon-to-be-Stardock’s Jason Ocampo. That’s right, towards the end of the show Jason confirms that he’ll be moving to Michigan to take the new job, we wish him plenty [...]
Mobcast Episode 33
December 14th, 2009
John Davison joins the Mobcast, hitting it off by lending some insight into Jason Wilson’s question of whether or not we’re actually having fun while playing games. Modern Warfare 2 and Assassin’s Creed 2 have provoked some conversation about mature storylines, graphical fidelity, and other technical aspects, but the guys try to tackle why talk [...]
Mobcast Episode 32
December 8th, 2009
Bobito Max Chill (Robert Ashley) joins the Bitmob crew for this week’s Mobcast. Things kick off with the community topic, which asks how the guys deal with hecklers in online competitive games. Most of the guys seem pretty cynical about the community of games like Modern Warfare 2, which is probably well deserved.
Dan’s topic tackles [...]
Mobcast Episode 31
December 1st, 2009
The Mobcast is more or less back to normal this week, welcoming ex-EGM editor Crispin Boyer. At the top of the show, the guys talk about both their most anticipated games of all time and some of those that didn’t meet their expectations. Ultimately, it seems like the excitement really stems from their respective childhoods [...]
Mobcast Episode 45
March 15th, 2010
With a bulk of the games industry embedded in the GDC trenches last weekend, Shoe manages to nab a couple of ex-EGM veterans and Gaijin Games’ Alex Neuse (of Bit.Trip fame) for this week’s Mobcast. Appropriate to the venue, the show kicks off with impressions of the Playstation Move. They take no time to criticize [...]
