Hosts:

Our illustrious Show Producer Bruce managed to lose the first recording of Episode 49, so as punishment we made him join us on our retaping.

Basically, Bruce John & Bex talk about the games we’ve been playing, and muse about some of the announcements that were made at the Spike VGAs, talk about shiny new Windows Phones, and generally give Bruce a hard time.

Our next episode is our semicentennial! That means 50. RAD! We’re going to talk about our favorite games of 2010.

Show #039 – More Than Meets the Eye

Posted by jaynoon on July 21, 2010 – 12:26 am

Recorded fresh this week!

So after a 2 month drought of new episodes due to crunch mode and E3, we are back with a show that was recorded this week.  Woot!

This show is John and Chris discussing what we’ve been up to (John shipped Crackdown 2, a Title Update, and a demo with achievements!) and Chris has been working on Rare’s Kinect Sports, both for its unveiling at E3 and now on the road to Kinect launch on November 4, 2010.

We then discuss some of the new games that we’ve been playing like Crackdown 2, Transformers: War for Cybertron, Alan Wake, and more. Chris also keeps his Michael Bay bashing to a minimum this time while discussing Transformers games of the past before we move into talking about Summer of Arcade, Destination Arcade, and answer a few new Twitter  and listener questions.

Bex and Porkfry were out of action for this episode (hugz from both), but we are hoping to be back in full force in 2 weeks.

Now Transform and Roll Out!

Show #038 – Telling the future for fun and profit.

Posted by jaynoon on July 15, 2010 – 9:50 am

 

Show 38: Telling the future for fun and profit.

This time Chris and Porkfry give you a “Lightning Bonus Round” type show as they guide the ship solo…well…whatever solo is with two hosts opposed to the regular four hosts. John couldn’t make it as he’s occupied with all things Crackdown and Bex was off at one of her fancy parties. We go over what we’re playing, predictions about E3 and a heads up about things that are available for you via XBL.

Score us to see if our E3 predictions were right. Kind of weird huh.

ENJOY!

Think of this as a back episode. We have a new episode we just recorded that will be up by the end of the week.
