GWJ Conference Call Episode 209

by Jon Cole in Games485 days ago

Returning guest Rob Zacny starts off the show with his thoughts on F1 2010. As an F1 enthusiast, he had low expectations for the game, though it ended up surprising him with a solid career mode and effective driver assists. In the more mainstream sphere is Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, which Shawn points out may have impressed the hardcore collective due to low expectations. The traversal and combat are both decidedly lacking, though it’s clear that the plot, storytelling, and characterization more than make up for the faults as far as he’s...

The Geekbox: Episode 80

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, TV533 days ago

Jeff Green continues to make his round on the podcasts, and he offers the classic GFW Radio intro at the beginning of this week’s episode. Also, Alice Liang makes her Geekbox debut as the newest regular member of the show and she fits in perfectly. The group starts this episode with WoW, but everyone is still in hibernation mode waiting for Cataclysm. Jeff tells a story about the hiring of Ryan Scott, and how he won-out over Andrew Fitch, who eventually got a different job at 1UP causing a weird situation between the two. After some comic...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 201

by Jon Cole in Games541 days ago

This week’s Gamers with Jobs is essentially a continuation of last week’s 200th episode, starting off as usual with games the guys have been playing. It’ll come to no GWJ fan’s surprise that Rob has been playing League of Legends and the rest of the guys have been playing more Starcraft II, the latter of which the guys briefly hit on once again. The first new game the guys discuss is the Mafia 2 demo, which Sands praises for solid controls and a seemingly engaging story. Shawn also talks about how impressive the game looks...

Giant Bombcast 08-10-2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games548 days ago

After a delayed absence (my fault) coverage of the Giant Bombcast resumes with spiders and strategy! The guys spend much of the beginning of the show cowering from a spider that has made itself welcome in the studio, except for Ryan who takes every opportunity to mock the other three. Starcraft II talk dominate the conversation with Vinny taking a slight deviation back to the original Starcraft. Jeff and Brad spent a very short time with Monday Night Combat and seem mixed thus far but Ryan seems much higher on Civ 5 from the 16 hours he has sunk...

The Geekbox: Episode 76

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, Movies, TV561 days ago

Karen is back and the show starts with talk of DeathSpank. Ryan S.is loving it, but Karen is just getting through it. Next up is Limbo and the inevitable price discussion ensues. Ryan H. has a strong stance on pricing for digital good and Karen almost can’t handle it. After touching on Burn Notice the group moves on to the new Street Fighter X Tekken announcement. Ryan S. talks about the idea of achieving true balance in a fighting game with 40+ characters. Green Lantern and Smallville talk lead into a spoiler-filled Inception discussion. Wherein...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 197

by Jon Cole in Games570 days ago

At the top of the show, Allen and Shawn talk a bit about their time playing RUSE due to its free weekend on Steam.  Despite the game’s great gameplay and solid interface, the guys take issue with Ubisoft’s DRM and sadly can’t absolutely recommend it.  Deathspank is probably the biggest game to release this past week and the guys chime in with their thoughts.  While they seemed to enjoy the humor that Ron Gilbert probably helped contribute to the game as well as the unique camera perspective, some of the gameplay mechanics like...

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...

The Idle Thumbs Podcast Episode 7: Remember The Airfield

by Jonathan Downin in Games651 days ago

The guys are back for a shorter show this time around. Word of Bungie signing up with Activision has the crew reasonably perplexed at the beginning before Chris and Steve discuss their mildly successful time with Splinter Cell Conviction. While it certainly doesn’t sound like it will be a thumbs favorite, it seems there was some fun to be had. Also, any game that results in the discussion here about incidents at the Lincoln Memorial deserves to exist. Chris is still playing StarCraft II, and he had a chance to go to Blizzard and check out...

Giant Bombcast 04-27-2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games654 days ago

The Bombcast has leveled up with new headphones for all it seems for the purpose of not blowing out listeners’ ears. Vinny starts things off like usual by talking about the fun he’s been having with the Just Cause 2 modding community and it has reinvigorated his interest in the game. Jeff has been playing a couple of games for review in Super Street Fighter IV and Dead to Rights: Retribution, one of which he loves, the other he doesn’t. Brad talks at length about the Starcraft II single player that he had seen recently as well...

The Idle Thumbs Podcast Episode 6: Shoveling Your Hat and Crow

by Jonathan Downin in Games666 days ago

“Famous” is back on this week to sit in for Steve. The recent cacophony of stories coming out of Activision/Infinity Ward/EA starts the cast this week. The Infinity Ward exodus spurs some speculation that the studio may just have to be shuttered at some point. Chris has been playing more StarCraft II and this leads into talk of the recent cheating scandal in South Korea. Sean has been playing some Flotilla and has a few fun stories to share about his time with the game. Chris touches on Red Dead Redemption and this leads into a conversation...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 183

by Jonathan Downin in Games667 days ago

It’s a 3 man show this week with Shawn and Corey joined by guest, Michael Zenke. StarCraft II talk starts things off with Corey feeling a little sore after Shawn destroyed him in his first foray into the game. Michael talks about his experience with the somewhat buggy Dragon Age Awakening before the group touches on a couple smaller games. Cory swallows his pride and admits to enjoying Ngmoco’s Farmville-like iPad game, We Rule. The main topic this week has the group discussing how they each handle winning and losing differently, and...

Special guest, Billy Berghammer, kicks-off the game talk with Final Fantasy XIII and his opinions are in line with most people’s commentary. Jeff is excited to talk about the iPad, and Brian gets in on the discussion since he picked one up as well. They are both quite excited about Apple’s new tablet and they touch on some of their gaming experiences. This leads into a discussion about the prospects for Sony and Nintendo’s upcoming handhelds. After a section about affordable games, the group moves on to a another new segment that...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 182

It’s the Julian Show starring Julian ‘Rabbit’ Murdoch. Julian is back this week and he has a lot to share. An email regarding platform choices kicks-off this week’s festivities and then the guys talk about their StarCraft II experiences. Julian takes center stage from here and he starts with his PAX East experiences. He gives an overall feel for the show and then gets into some of the games he gave a go, including Split Second. The guys touch on Dragon Age: Awakening and the Julian goes into the fun he has been having with...

The Game Informer Show: Episode 19

by Derek Lavigne in Games708 days ago

This week’s GI show starts off with a discussion on Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and how much it has taken over the office. It seems that Andy Reiner and Matt Bertz have even taken time off from work specifically to play the game, which they both agree will probably end up eating up more of their time than Modern Warfare 2. There seems to be some disagreement among the staff about whether or not the game is more friendly to new players, but all seem to agree that it is a great overall game in need of a few bug fixes. The second segment deals...

Giant Bombcast 02-23-2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games717 days ago

Brad Shoemaker is back in the saddle this week and kicks off the podcast discussing his recent playthrough of Heavy Rain with surprising detail while remaining spoiler-free. Following this all four guys get into a very lengthy and in-depth discussion about the Starcraft II beta, followed by a bit more RTS with Command & Conquer 4. This part of the show was a bit difficult to get through for someone who has as little interest in the genre as I have, so be forewarned. Most of the rest of the segment is spent talking about previews that each of...
