Podcast #020 – Better late than never

Posted by jaynoon on May 20, 2009 – 10:14 pm

Better late than never! We’re back with a show that was recorded a while ago, but just got finished editing. Apologies for our lateness, we’re super busy getting ready for E3. We’re going to put up another show very shortly, and then try to do something interesting for E3.

As promised, shout outs abound for listeners that left comments on the previous podcast post before we recorded the show. We also talk about the growing music game genre, touch on some new game announcements from Japan, and cover some of the more interesting news items from the previous month.

    Podcast #016 – Goodbye old friend.

    Posted by jaynoon on February 16, 2009 – 6:16 pm

    It’s only Justin and John this week. We bid farewell to our trusty geezer, Jeff Kafer. Who not only was a great co-host, but also an audio engineer. His prowess on the boards made it easy for Justin and I to not think about what a lot of hard work it is to edit the show–which is why it has taken us so long to get this one up. I have completely edited this podcast twice, thanks to Audacity deciding to eat the first one. So bear with us!

    • A fond farewell to Jeff Kafer
    • The games we’re currently playing: Mirror’s Edge, Burnout Paradise, Tales of Vesperia, Halo Wars, Final Fantasy IV DS
    • Interview with Greg Murphy, Design Director @ Microsoft Game Studios
    • Tips & Tricks interview with Kevin Bowen & John Mogensen of the Halo Wars Test Team.
    • We forgot to record a proper outro! But there is music! :)

    Podcast #015 – Games of the year

    Posted by jaynoon on January 16, 2009 – 5:42 pm

    We talk about our favorite games of 2008, and there is very little overlap between our lists. Then we interview Chris Lee, a Microsoft Producer currently working on Halo. Finally we talk about the forthcoming Resident Evil 5 demo.

    • Our favorite games of the year
    • Interview with Chris Lee, Microsoft Producer on Halo
    • Resident Evil 5
    And yes, we realize that we’re wrong about when Lost Odyssey came out, but it’s just so much fun to tell Robey he’s wrong.

    UPDATE: Forgot to mention that Kafer worked his audio magic on this podcast, and did it in Stereo. Let us know if you like it better in the comments.
