Idle Thumbs GDC 2011

by Jon Cole in Games330 days ago

It’s been made pretty clear over the last year that the CastMedium staff members are big fans of (The) Idle Thumbs (Podcast), despite the fact that their feed has remained dormant for almost six months. Fortunately, that fact has recently been dashed by a couple of “Conf Grenades” that the guys released during this year’s Game Developers Conference. Since these podcasts have managed to fly under some of our radars despite nearly rabid fandom, we thought it might be useful to bring them to the attention of both Idle Thumbs...

Player One Podcast – Episode 216 (12/13/10) – Wonka Tails

by Ross Adams in Games, Podcasts423 days ago

Greg Sewart is back this week and jumps right into the hosting chair. It’s a pretty packed show this week and as a result there’s no listener tweets, although there is an extended zinger at the end of the show. After some bragging from Ford about how easy it was to crush the other guys scores on Marvel Pinball it’s onto some proper game talk. Ford wants to follow-up his Epic Mickey talk from last week, he missed out a fairly integral game mechanic due to distraction from Phils very impressive Mickey Mouse impression. Paint and...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 217

by Jon Cole in Games428 days ago

With Julian at the helm of this week’s Conference Call and guests Ken Levine and Justin McElroy helping fill out the cast, you’re guarenteed an excellent episode of Gamers with Jobs. Justin jumps in first with his experience playing Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood. He seems to agree with the widely held opinion that Brotherhood captures much of the same magic as AC2 while managing to build upon it through more story-related sidequests, complex mechanics, and multiplayer. Julian seems very anxious to talk about Epic Mickey, so Allen...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 204

by Jon Cole in Games520 days ago

Duke Nukem Forever talk appropriately opens up the GWJ PAX special, though nobody seems to be interested in it despite the widespread excitement. Bastion was a much bigger hit, with Shawn evangelizing the interesting narrative style and Julian shedding some light on some of the game’s more unique mechanics. On the other hand, the collective impressions of Little Big Planet 2 are split down the middle, with Elysium noting the well-implemented grappling hook but going as far as to name it his game of show. The fighting game renaissance continues...

Mobcast 66: Nintendo Slipping, Fun Bad Games, Publisher Hype, and More

by Alex Martin in Games543 days ago

Jason and Raychul return to the Mobcast for five topics with Shoe and Brett. First, they talk collectibles. Brett covered his thoughts on Alan Wake’s Thermoses and cardboard cutouts in this article. They elaborate on that by discussing what makes a good collectible. Jason has been playing Disciples III for about a month. Apart from its unique unicorns, he likes nothing about it — so why play it? Raychul suggests he’s invested in the character he’s levelling up, but the more popular theory is that he’s crazy. Summer...

at1UP: 06/29/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc591 days ago

This week’s show starts with a quick Enemies of Candy segment, and guess what, Alan likes it. The regular show begins with Alan covering some MyCheats stuff and details how to become a cheats freelancer. The guys then get into the news that a key visual representation of Mickey in Epic Mickey has been changed since focus groups weren’t into it. After touching on this week’s NBA Jam 1UP Cover Story and Game Night with Skulls of the Shogun, Mike and Alan recap their time with the new Red Dead Redemption DLC. It sounds like there...

Mobcast 59: E3 2010 Wrap-Up

by Alex Martin in Games592 days ago

Although last week’s episode was released after E3, this Mobcast is the true E3 wrap-up with staff members Dan “Shoe” Hsu, Demian Linn, Brett Bates, and Omri Petitte. First, they ask each other about the games they missed. Omri tells the group about Portal 2′s wisecracking sidekick and new environments. Shoe didn’t think much of Rage but liked Vanquish — a Japanese shooter that speeds up the Gears of War formula. Demian also fields some questions about Deus Ex 3. Next, they name some games they saw but aren’t...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 14

by Jonathan Downin in Games595 days ago

Weekend Confirmed is back with their E3 wrap-up part 2, and the crew proves once again that they are more capable than anyone in getting through a ridiculous amount of content without sacrificing on the personality side. Deus Ex kicks off the big show with a fair amount of excitement. Jeff is in a hatter funk this week, but even he is excited about the game outside of his worries about the visual side of the game. After a quick discussion about Steams recent complete embrace of awesome sales and what that means for the industry on a whole, it is...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 193

by Jon Cole in Games597 days ago

With the looming shadow of E3 on the brink of departure, Shawn and Corey bring Chris Remo of Idle Thumbs onto this dense podcast. Things start off with the Nintendo 3DS, which clearly left a positive impression due to its good implementation of 3D and great design. Portal 2 was Chris’s game of show, especially after a great demo with writer Erik Wolpaw. He talks about some of the mechanical changes in the game, highlighting the co-op play and the integration of some elements originated from Digipen students hired by Valve. Civilization...

The Oddcast: 02/22/2010

by Ross Adams in Games717 days ago

Epic Mickey could potentially come to PS3 and 360, this is the subject that kicks off this weeks episode. There is some debate about whether is looks like the N64 game Glover, Sharkey maintains it doesn’t but the others aren’t so sure. Blizzard finally got the Starcraft II beta underway so alot of the 1UP crew have been playing it. Some units are gone but there are have also been additions to the roster, Tina found it odd to be playing Starcraft but have things like the elevation of units be a factor while playing. The recession gaming...

The Totally Rad Show – Episode 134: Negative Fun

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies851 days ago

Couples Retreat is the first movie this week and it is safe to say that all 3 of the guys enjoyed it. Everyone had some problems with it, but the consensus seems to be that it is worth watching even if you wait until it’s available on Netflix. Bronson doesn’t go over quite as well with even Jeff, who generally enjoys more experimental type films, calling it too avant garde for even him. Book-ending the games section this week is a segment that follows the guys on a “Bungie hike.” In light of the recent release of Halo 3:...

CastMedium Podcast 007 – 10.12.09

by Jonathan Downin in Games851 days ago

It’s a topic-packed show this week, but we still managed to keep it under 30 minutes. This last week has been a big one for the games press and podcast sector with Garnett Lee leaving 1UP for GameFly Media, and John Davison selling What They Play to IGN and going over to GamePro. We take this opportunity to speculate on the future of 1UP podcasts and then turn to the state of games journalism and what this means for both Garnett and John in their new positions. In games we start off by talking about New Super Mario Bros.Wii but get sidetracked...

Player One Podcast: Episode 155 – Now With Two Balls

by Jonathan Downin in Games851 days ago

Things start on the PSP again this week with a voicemail thanking the guys for giving the PSPgo a fair shake last week. They take this opportunity to talk about some of their favorite games that are available for the system. It is somewhat surprising when you hear so many games mentioned and realize that the PSP library is actually strong. Epic Mickey has the guys interested as they head into reader questions. There are a few interesting topics this week with the guys talking about purchases that they have regretted over the years and CJ trying...

Joystiq Podcast 112 – Visceral edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games854 days ago

Justin is in Honduras and that proves to be a problem with Chris needing to call him back 10+ times throughout the show before finally giving up and having Griffin take his place. WET has proven to be a polarizing game and the Joystiq guys fall on the side of liking it. Dead Space Extraction is also going over well with Chris claiming that it is the best looking game on the Wii. Things take a turn for the negative with Gran Turismo and Marvel Ultimate Alliance taking the brunt of the criticisms. There have been leaks showing a potential addition...

Giant Bombcast 10-06-2009

by Derek Lavigne in Games857 days ago

Instead of jumping right into games they have been playing this week, the Bombcast guys address the large amount of hate the PSPgo has been receiving over the past week. Jeff went out and bought one on launch and says although he does not feel it should replace existing PSPs, it may be a good option. Ryan and Jeff also recall their weekend of playing pinball at the Pacific Pinball Expo. Brad also mentions that he will gladly be eating his foot on doubting how good Uncharted 2 is. News of the world starts out with the discussion of David Bowie now...
