The Geekbox: Episode 23

by Jonathan Downin in Games1038 days ago

All episodes of The Geekbox should start out with Fitch spilling details about a date, just as he does here.  It sounds like we may be in for a string a somewhat successful Fitch Hitch stories.  His first dinner date was successful and he is getting ready for date #2 in which he will be going to the girl’s house.  The anticipation is thick. Comic book and movie news is a big topic this week.  The casting of Ryan Renolds as Green Lantern has comic book fans excited, but generally not in a good way. Karen and Ryan Scott gave the first Tales...

Player One Podcast | Episode 142 – Walk Like They Do On The Moon

by Jonathan Downin in Games1041 days ago

This may be the most good things to be said about Transformers 2 on a podcast ever, but it is still just deemed moderately entertaining. The guys spend over 30 minutes talking about the Genesis “classic” Moonwalker.  This is a lot of time for a game that really wasn’t that great.  A game that has synchronized group dancing with dogs can’t be all bad though. Talk of LucasArts classic takes up a good portion of this episode.  The recently released Tales of Monkey Island episode gets covered here as do the recent Steam re-releases....

The Geekbox: Episode 22

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc1044 days ago

The difficult job market stories continue with Karen talking about the recent lay-offs at her company PlayFirst.  It sounds like they handled it in the best way possible and Karen was spared in the process.  It’s interesting to hear the juxtaposition of the against the 1UP layoffs in January. This is a very Fitch-centric show, just as it should be.  His recent trip to England sounds like it was enjoyable, if not uneventful.  The campaign to get Fitch a date is still on and going strong.  If you or anyone you know is interested in going...

Player One Podcast | Episode 141 – Johnny Sega and the Turbo Touches

by Jonathan Downin in Games1047 days ago

Okay, we are big fans of the Player One Podcast guys around these parts, but the revelation that Phil is playing, and enjoying, Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires is baffling.  We kid.  It sounds like it’s a good time if you like the killing of 100s of guys at a time. Greg Ford has finally put some serious time into Infamous and he is enjoying it.  He has also been giving the highly under-rated Zelda 2 some time.  If you haven’t played it, get yourself a Wii and pick it up on WiiWare. The guys are doing a Game Club this week for the classic...

The Geekbox: Episode 21

by Jonathan Downin in Misc, Movies, TV1053 days ago

This week’s episode is a great one.  With Fitch gone, the crew has launched a campaign to get him a date.  If you are an eligible woman over 25 send your submission in to winadatewithfitch at geekbox.net.  This is going to be good. Special guests from the old 1UP days, Tom Edwards and Susie Ochs, are on the show so you can expect a lot of reminiscing.  There are some fun stories here. On a side note, Tom mentions the Korean film Oldboy.  If you haven’t seen it, and aren’t too easily disturbed, this is a movie you must watch. No...

CO-OP | Episode 202 – Jason’s Day Off

by Jonathan Downin in Games1054 days ago

First game of the show is the Uncharted 2 Multiplayer Beta.  Greg Ford and Tyler Barber are sitting in on this one and although what everyone really wants is the single-player game, the consensus is that this is a lot of fun.  The game is gorgeous. Star Defense for iPhone gets some love from Ryan, but it seems like that game is getting a bit more praise than it deserves due to the platform. Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood has the guys talking here as well.  The developers chose a great time to put this game out.  It sounds very solid, and that...

The Geekbox: Episode 20

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc1058 days ago

Starting this one is some TV talk as per usual, but Ryan reveals that in addition to Burn Notice, he has also been watching Jon and Kate Plus 8.  Things take a turn for the weirder when the crew gets into a little bit of Mario fan fiction creation though. There is a big discussion about games journalism in the middle here where the group talks about what gives one person more credibility than someone else.  Greg takes the chance to tell people to write for Bitmob if they want to break into the industry. Karen is getting her driver’s license...

The Geekbox: Episode 19

by Jonathan Downin in Games1066 days ago

Why must Nintendo pu out games that make us have to buy a Wii?  There aren’t that many amazing games on the Wii, but there are those games that are just good enough to make the system almost worth a purchase. The recent changes in the World of Warcraft progression has Karen upset.  The point is introduced by Karen talking about the iPhone 3GS.  Oh how the opinions change.  Has WoW finally started its decline? The topic of people coming up to the Geekbox crew at conventions as if they know them comes up.  Almost all of us surely don’t...

Player One Podcast | Episode 138 – Tripping the moisture sensor

by Jonathan Downin in Games1069 days ago

Greg Ford starts off this one by talking a bit about his E3 experiences.  He is mostly lamenting how tiring it was to cover the show, but he does field some questions from the guys about a few things including Project Natal.  Microsoft’s new motion technology comes off a little better this week with the guys, but not by much. CJ had a quite eventful week with an ordeal including his iPhone and Apple refusing to replace it due to suspected water damage.  As it turns out, he just had some pocket lint stuck in the headphone jack.  Yeah. Infamous...

The Geekbox: Episode 18

by Jonathan Downin in Games1073 days ago

After a week’s absense for E3 the Geekbox crew is back.  In usual fashion, spoilers are not avoided in any way, so if you haven’t seen UP yet you may want to skip the first 20 minutes. E3 is the focus here, but the takes here are fresh as they tend to be on The Geekbox.  The trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic has galvanized the group with Karen and loving it and Greg feeling like it is not too cool to represent an MMO like that.  It really has to be taken as a “flavor piece.” There is some talk about Project Natal...

The Geekbox RAW EDITION: Episode 17

by Jonathan Downin in Games1086 days ago

The Terminator movie is the topic at the beginning here and the opinions are all over.  One thing is absolutely irrefutable though, T2 was and is completely awesome. Andrew Fitch is talking about his recent “romantic” adventures and it is entertaining as always.  Get ready for some stories about dates to vistas, being told he is not a very good dresser and a girl who is too intellectual to go play mini-golf. There may be no podcast next week due to E3, but Ryan relays that he is going to try and make that work. Wherein we discuss the...

Podcasters’ Favorite Podcasts | Part 5 – Player One Podcast Redux

by Jonathan Downin in Features1086 days ago

And here we have the follow up to last week’s Podcasters’ Favorite Podcasts featuring the Player One Podcast.  After having CJ share his favorites, we have Greg Sewart and former 1UPer Greg Ford’s picks.  If you haven’t checked out Greg Ford’s new digs, Bitmob, you should go give it a look. We have a big one lined up for next week as well so be sure to check back next Thursday. Greg Ford [Player One Podcast | Bitmob] The BS Report (http://sports.espn.go.com/espnradio/podcast/archive?id=2864045) This highly entertaining...

Player One Podcast | Episode 135 – Boxing Days

by Jonathan Downin in Games1090 days ago

The guys start out with a little Nintendo news.  The new play control versions of Metroid Prime 1 and 2 are being bundled with Metroid Prime 3 for $50 in August.  This is a great deal, especially if you haven’t played any of them before. Punch Out! is the game this week and as almost everyone, the POP crew is pretty into it.  There are a re few complaints about how faithful the game is to the original, but with some things incorporated from Super Punch Out! and a great art style, the game ultimately doesn’t come off as lazy.  They...

The Geekbox RAW EDITION: Episode 16

by Jonathan Downin in Games, TV1094 days ago

This is the episode that did it, we have to add a TV category to the podcast list.  It probably should have been done a while ago and we can’t avoid it any longer. Lost takes up a good 25 minutes of the beginning of this week’s episode.  If you have not seen the finale and care about the series skip past the first 27 minutes. The Lost talk leads into a Star Trek that is not quite as long as the Lost talk, but again, the Geekbox crew goes into detail so if you care and haven’t seen it, skip it.  You should be safe after the 47...

Player One Podcast | Episode 134 – The Graphics are a Little Jackée

by Jonathan Downin in Games1097 days ago

The rumored redesigned PS3 is again not getting much appreciation.  Nobody seems to like the presumed new look, but the prospect of a PS3 that doesn’t use the Spiderman font is something that does excite! Everyone goes through their games of the week, but the conversation picks up a lot at the end with talk moving onto Burnout Paradise and its new Cops and Robbers mode, Fat Princess and 1 Vs. 100.  It sounds like Fat Princess holds a lot of potential for some future multiplayer action. 1 Vs. 100 looks to be a very fresh take on how to handle...
