GWJ Conference Call Episode 188

by Jonathan Downin in Games632 days ago

Shawn hands over hosting duties to Cory this week and he admits to feeling a little strange about it. 3D Dot Game Heroes starts the game talk with Shawn sharing about his time with the “Zelda clone.” Guest, Alan Cook, talks about the recent changes to the StarCraft II beta and why he is obsessed with the game. Rogue-likes get some more time and the group talks about their most recent GWJ game night with CounterStrike Source. After Cory touches on his experience with Steam for Mac, the group moves on to the topics of the week, video game...

Player One Podcast – Episode 186 (05/17/10) – Full of Dots

by Ross Adams in Games635 days ago

Last weeks episode is now a “lost” episode with it being declared too bad to publish. Things are back to normal though with the show getting derailed before the introdcutions are even finished. CJ makes mention of a Mega Man MMO that may be in the works, leading to a short discussion about why the guys just aren’t likley to play an MMO of any kind. The game discussion this week is dominated by 3D Dot Game Heroes, which all 3 hosts have been playing this week. The game allows you to create a custom character in the pixelart style,...

The Game Informer Show: Episode 26

by Jon Cole in Games637 days ago

The Game Informer Show returns to its usual format this week, starting things off with Lost Planet 2 talk.  Opinions on this latest Capcom title have been quite mixed and Game Informer seems to come out on the positive side of things, rewarding the game with an 8.5/10.  Bryan and Andy agree that the game is solid in co-operative mode, often presenting arenas with various objectives that necessitate squad tactics and a bit of strategy.  However, the high score seems somewhat incongruous with their impressions of the single player mode, which they...

Active Time Babble

Active Time Babble XIV: Etrian Odyssey III & 3D Dot Game Heroes | 05/07/2010

by Ross Adams in Games643 days ago

After a brief hiatus ATB is back and it’s an Atlus heavy episode this week with the majority of the games discussed coming from the developer/publisher. RPG news kicks off with the story that Square-Enix has trademarked the name Four Heroes of Light, which one can assume will be the western release of Final Fantasy Gaiden: Four Warriors of Light. The story leads to a discussion of why some games won’t be coming out on the DS, namely R4 cards and the rampant piracy of games that wouldn’t sell big numbers to begin with. What is meant...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 7

by Alex Martin in Games644 days ago

Garnett joins his regular co-hosts, Jeff, Brian, and Billy to talk about the games they’ve been playing this week. Microsoft has lifted the Alan Wake embargo, so they start by heaping praise on it while avoiding spoilers. The writing, characterization, and episodic design all sound excellent and the biggest fault they can find with it is the poor facial animation. They’ve also been enjoying Halo Reach and 3D Dot Game Heroes’  old-school appeal, as well as sports games 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa and Skate 3. Brian’s...

The HotSpot 05/04/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games647 days ago

The HotSpot guys seem to be feeling rather rambunctious today so get a ready for a lot of bleeping during this episode. Halo Reach starts the discussion and everyone seems to be enjoying their time with the beta. Tom has the most to say about it before moving on to 3D Dot Game Heroes. In news, the Bungie/Activision deal is easily the biggest talking point this week, and the guys have mixed emotions about the situation. They do point out that Bungie must be pretty sure of their concept if they have a 10 year plan for the franchize when Halo hasn’t...

Giant Bombcast 05-04-2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games647 days ago

This week’s Bombcast starts off with Vinny discussing the end of his time with Splinter Cell: Conviction and Jeff making a bold proclamation, that headshots are ruining video games. Vinny has also been playing Wheelman for some odd reason, which leads to an amusing conversation about how Vin Diesel’s time has passed. Jeff hasn’t been playing a whole lot he can talk about aside from Picross 3D, which he says changes the game up a lot, but is a must play. Brad has been splitting his time between wandering in the woods with Alan Wake...

CastMedium Podcast 033 – 04.27.10

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Tech655 days ago

First up in podcast news, new writer Alex Martin will be covering our latest addition to our line-up, This is Only a Test. Games talk starts with a bit of coverage of Capcom’s Captivate event. We then move on to Halo: Reach and quickly approaching beta which goes live on May 3rd. 3D Dot Game Heroes gets a mention before we just head long into speculation on Apple’s recent hire of long time IGN Nintendo Editor, Matt Casamassina. In tech, Apple was not the only one with a huge leak last week. Engadget provided a peek at what Dell may have...

Rebel FM 59 – 04/21/10

by Alex Martin in Games658 days ago

The regular cast are joined by semi-regular Matt Chandronait, and IGN’s Scott Bromley. They teach us some new euphemisms for sex before talking about the games they’ve been playing. Anthony’s been playing Ghost Recon: Future Soldier — which brings the series into a third person perspective — and Starcraft 2′s campaign. Tyler has been playing an intriguing indie shooter called Drone. Everyone’s been playing Splinter Cell Conviction and liking it, although Matt complains that it is more linear than previous...

GameSpy Debriefings

The GameSpy Debriefings #121

by Derek Lavigne in Games659 days ago

Scott Bromley returns again this week and sits in for the missing Brian Miggles. After some very random but hilarious Doug Funnie references, Ryan talks about his time with 3D Dot Game Heroes, which he explains constantly toes the line with being an “homage” to the original legend of Zelda. In normal Gamespy fashion, the conversation then takes a couple of left turns into the strange design of the Gamecube, followed up somehow by the hierarchy at furry conventions. Anthony tries to bring things back by talking quickly about After Burner...

The Oddcast

The Oddcast 04/09/2010

by Derek Lavigne in Podcasts671 days ago

This week’s Oddcast is super-sized and starts off much like many other podcasts, which quick talk about the iPad. Talk then turns to rapid-fire discussions of games like 3D Dot Game Heroes, the new Call of Duty, and Def Jam Rapstar. Justin Beiber remains a topic of conversation before moving on to a story about UK schools using Grand Theft Auto IV as a tool to teach students right and wrong. A recent one-sided CNN article on RapeLay somehow leads to a minor argument with Tina defending the public’s right to know, while Chris goes as...

Giant Bombcast 03-23-2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games689 days ago

This week’s Bombcast starts off with talk of ant ritual sacrifice, true story. Getting to games, Vinny talks about his time with Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening and reveals the depths of his nerdom and love for the Dragon Age novels. He’s also taken some time to jump back into another expansion, this one for Dawn of War II as well as God of War III, which he and Ryan both seem to agree feels a little bit soulless. Jeff then runs the gamut of games he’s playing including Command & Conquer 4, Super Street Fighter IV, WarioWare...

Active Time Babble IV: World of Warcraft and Dragon Age – 12/10/2009

by Ross Adams in Games792 days ago

After an unexpected hiatus Active Time Babble is back for it’s fourth episode. Alice Liang and Thierry “Scooter” Nguyen join Kat Bailey for the first segment this week, an interview with a couple the developers of World of Warcraft. While the discussion starts a little more retrospective it soon moves onto the upcoming Cataclysm expansion and the challenges that come from such a huge revamp. The success and longevity of WoW does seem to have taken everyone by surprise but Blizzard has certainly done a good job of expanding the...

Drunken Gamers Radio 11-22-09

by Derek Lavigne in Games808 days ago

This week’s DGR is a duet with Moe out in San Diego on business. The show starts off with Drunk Dials, including a question about how secret they keep their drunken audio escapades at their day jobs.  This leads to a hilarious story from John about the time his boss found a rather embarrassing picture of him. The mailbag bring stories of hardware crashes and confused PSPgo customers. The reviews segment starts off with the sequel to DGR’s game of the year from last year, Left 4 Dead 2. John agrees with the sentiment that the game is...
