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

by Alex Martin in Games, Tech521 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....

Weekend Confirmed Episode 12

by Alex Martin in Games609 days ago

Weekend Confirmed starts strangely this week, the crew addressing comments on last week’s episode with guest Adam Sessler (G4TV) before getting into the games they’ve been playing. After 20 minutes of talk about the effective range of shotguns and the PS4′s draw distance, they address Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker. Brian loves it, but Garnett sees it as a lesser version of a console game. Alpha Protocol is next, and Jeff has some nice things to say about it. He thinks it functions well as a third-person action game, rather than...

Joystiq Podcast 142 – Rebirth edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games609 days ago

Joystiq.com has received a huge overhaul and the guys spend the first 20 minutes talking about motivations for the re-design and some of the new features. Once the boys get into games, Justin gets right into Green Day: Rock Band. Chris had a chance to see Rock Band 3 during the E3 judges period and now that the embargo is up, he share some quite postive thoughts on Harmonix’s latest. Mortal Kombat is coming back and the first trailer looks promising. Telltale announced that they will be doing episodic games based on the Back to the Future...

Three Red Lights Podcast Episode 138

by Jonathan Downin in Games695 days ago

After the kerfluffle that took place at IGN earlier in the week, Aurthur Gies makes his IGN debut on Three Red Lights. We don’t know if this is definite sign Arthur taking a more active role on the IGN side of things, but his does name drop Team Xbox several times throughout the episode, so it seem like he may still be primarily there. The lack of community enthusiasm for the XBLA release of Perfect Darks starts the conversation and this leads into an examination of XBLA on a whole. The PlayStation Move gets some talk and the recent leak...

Drunken Gamers Radio 11-29-09

by Derek Lavigne in Games801 days ago

With Moe back from his business trip, the drunkards are once again back at full strength. To start off the show, the Drunk Dials this week are especially sauce-filled this week leading the guys to wonder how many of their callers are now in detox. The mail bag is full of absolutely hilarious tales of Chuck E Cheese that DGR asked for a couple weeks back that just have to be heard to be believed. The reviews segment starts off with Little Big Planet for the PSP, which by all accounts sounds very similar to the PS3 version. Next up is Assassin’s...

Drunken Gamers Radio 11-14-09

by Derek Lavigne in Games814 days ago

This week’s show starts off with an entertaining story of John’s recent trip to Chuck E Cheese. Next up was an extended Drunk Dial segment, including a trio of hilarious voice mails from the same highly inebriated caller. Because of the backlog of voicemails, the DGR crew skips over the emails this week. The review segment this week kicks off with Pinball Heroes for the PSP, which all three guys seem to be a little cold on. Excitebike: World Rally for WiiWare however has the complete opposite reaction, being highly praised all around...

Drunken Gamers Radio 10-30-09

by Derek Lavigne in Games829 days ago

An early episode of Drunken Gamers Radio this week starts off, as always, with a mailbag segment. A lot of emails this week bring in great drinking stories. Another listener continues the bashing of Jessica Chobot from last week. Reviews this week start off with Forza 3, which Moe loves and Hilden thinks it’s unforgivable that there is a mandatory install. Up next is the new Ratchet and Clank game, which everyone seems to love. The retro review for the week is Sonic 3D blast, which Hilden doesn’t seem to love, but thinks it is worth...

Drunken Gamers Radio 9-16-09

by Derek Lavigne in Games877 days ago

With Moe out for some undetermined reason, Hilden and John are running a two man show. Most of the week’s drunk dials relate to the feature presentation, so those are skipped in favor of just a few emails, including one asking the guys if they have a “cool down” game to end lengthy gaming sessions. The reviews this week kick off with Contra ReBirth for Wiiware, which both of the guys agree is a complete throwback to the 16-bit days in every respect. Next up is Raiden IV for the 360, which Hilden touts as much more intense than...

Giant Bombcast 09-15-09

by Derek Lavigne in Games878 days ago

With the PAX Plague finally in recession things begin to resemble as close to normal as they possibly can down in the Bombshelter. Jeff runs through the multitude of games that he has been playing over the past week, which include the first four missions of Halo 3: ODST (the rest are embargoed) and Need For Speed: Shift. Ryan says he isn’t sold on ODST and things that it seems boring whereas Jeff seems to have the same opinion of Shift as he makes the point that EA may have alienated both the arcade racing fans and fans of sim-racing. Before...

by Jonathan Downin in Games879 days ago

CastMedium Podcast 003 – 09.14.09

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, Tech879 days ago

The Beatles: Rock Band is the first game up this week. It has received almost universal praise from the podcast community and has us excited for a future where Linkin Park: Rock Band might exist. PAX has dominated the gaming podcast scene for the past week and we do our best to point out some of the better coverage out there. This leads into a discussion about the GFW Radio panel and we share our love for that dearly missed podcast. A few memories of the Dreamcast and Sega get thrown out in light of the 10th anniversary of its release and...

The HotSpot 09/08/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games885 days ago

As everyone, PAX stuff starts this one off, but GameSpot didn’t really attend the expo so not too much time is spent on it other than trends of the show. GameSpot held a bracketed tournament that pitted many of the greatest game heroes against each other and then the winners were voted on by readers. It’s a fun feature so go check out the results. Tomorrow is the 10 years anniversary of the Dreamcast so the HotSpot crew took the chance to talk about their memories of the system and generally talk about their favorite games. In...

Player One Podcast | Episode 150 – Odds, Ends, Bits n’ Bobs from PAX 2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games886 days ago

It’s a special episode of the Player One Podcast this week, not only because it is the big 150, but CJ took PAX as an opportunity to record a show with a lot of different guests. As you can guess, being a former EGMer, he brings on mostly current and former 1UPers, but there is lot of good stuff here. First up are Patrick Klepek, David Ellis and Andrew Pfister talking about some of the games they saw at the show and touching on the 10 year anniversary of the Dreamcast. Next is a short talk with listener from the boards followed by the...

Mobcast Episode 019

by Jonathan Downin in Games886 days ago

For those of you that were gaming 10 years ago this will be a cool episode of the Mobcast. 9/9/99 was touted by EGM as the biggest entertainment launch of all time with the release of the Dreamcast. The guys have brought former Sega PR and Dreamcast launch team member, Heather Hawkins, on this week to talk about the Dreamcast and reminisce about what the games industry was like 10 years ago.
