I just got back from the Penny Arcade Expo in Boston this weekend. As a result, there’s really only one thing worth talking about. I decided to bring on someone who has already had previous experience with the level of awesome that is PAX, Addam Kearney from Talking About Games. We get into his evolution as a writer for Talking About Games, the eternal struggle between Wolverines and Buckeyes and the paranoia of the Census. But ultimately our discussion revolves around PAX. We trade stories and experiences from our time spent in Boston and Seattle respectively. There’s a lot of geek to go around on this one. Enjoy.

Episode 131 – Drunkisode 2010

This years drunkisode is finally here, with a lot more goofing off and slurred speech than normal. We have reviews and impressions for Ubisoft’s Red Steel 2, Racquet Sports, the new Splinter Cell demo and Microsoft’s Game Room. Also, the team goes retro again and talks some Splatterhouse.

This week I’m joined by cupcake savant, Dana Lewis to talk about Diet Coke, Cupcakes (of course), Alabama football, and of course the power of social media. She has found a way to leverage twitter into a weekly forum to discuss the prospects, impacts and importance of social media in health care. Who knew that 140 characters at a time could be so meaningful. Come for the #hcsm, but stay for the gluten free cupcakes. Enjoy.

Episode 130 – Crash Bash

Running a little late this week but, as you all know, we always get something out to you. We have reviews for Perfect Dark, God of War 3 and even more Final Fantasy 13. On top of that, the team talks Blur Beta and also has an interview with Q Games from GDC 2010. Joining us this week as our special guests are Pete from Gamertag Radio and Harley from Sarcastic Gamer.

I’ve been told that I am one of the busiest people in podcasting. As busy as I am at times, I can’t hold a candle to Manny Hernandez, founder of TuDiabetes.org and EstuDiabetes.org. Members of the Diabetes Online Community know who Manny is and more importantly how hard he works each day to strengthen the community. Along with TuDiabetes he is hard at work with his Non-Profit Organization, the Diabetes Hands Foundation. Our discussion focuses primarily on the community and his various projects. As you will hear, he is a very busy person. Enjoy.

Episode 129 – Super Meat

Back in action once again! This week we have our GDC 2010 wrap up, as well as some impressions and reviews for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Final Fantasy XIII. On top of that, an interview from Team Meat for the upcoming arcade title Super Meat Boy and much more. Joining us this week as our special guests is Candice from Gaming Angels and Ross from SFX 360.

I’m not particularly fond of the term “Internet Famous” but if ever there were a person to qualify within the few communities I participate in, Marc Washington is Internet Famous. Also known as Phoenix410, Marc is a co-host of the Post Game Report (of which I also co-host) and has generated an enthusiastic following with his personality. This episode features a rare look at the Man behind the Mallet as we discuss the Talking About Games community, his unique approach to podcasting, Beyonce and much more. Enjoy.

Risen Video Review

I tried to like Risen, but some games just can’t be saved. Some games are just plain bad. Risen is one of those games.
