This week is loaded with news discussion, including Nintendo’s further financial woes and Microsoft’s rumored attempt to eliminate used game sales. They also hit on Quarrel, Zack Zero and some “retro” titles before veering off course into more parenting discussion by Jeff.
E3 2011 has ended but the crew wants to make sure it goes out with a bang and so they’ve decided to have a giant party where they talk about Mass Effect 3, the Wii U and Tomb Raider for an excessive amount of time hours. They don’t do it alone though as they enlist the help of Ryan and Sean from Tea Bag Radio, Stefanie from Hooked Gamers and VGchartz.com, Mel from Game On Radio, Benny from The Gamer Buzz, Cranky Brian from Seattle, and Sarah from the 3RG podcast.

E3 2011 has ended but the crew wants to make sure it goes out with a bang and so they’ve decided to have a giant party where they talk about Mass Effect 3, the Wii U and Tomb Raider for an excessive amount of time hours.

It’s Day Two of E3 and the crew brings in special guest Dubs of TeaBagRadio to talk about games at the showcase and instead they talk about proper etiquette in the men’s room. No one ever said we had to be on topic all the time.
It’s Day One of E3 and the crew brings in special guest Sean of TeaBagRadio (and Never Not Dragons) to talk a whole mess of Nintendo and the mess that is Nintendo’s message. And they also get into some of the other games that E3 is showcasing.
It’s E3 week and the crew is getting together every day of the conference to talk about Gamer’s Christmas. This time they draft their friend Javi Rodriguez, the host of Game Over Nation, and talk about Day 0. They cover the Monday press conferences of Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft and Sony and while there is a lot of disappointment in the room but amidst all the grumbling they also like a lot of stuff.
This week the guys discuss hunting and forging demons, superheroes fighting Mega Man, sieges on dungeons, dwarven caverns, and Fozzy’s iPhone. They also touch on the week’s biggest gaming news including Call of Duty: Elite, Konami remakes, and stupid squirrels. As a special bonus the guys have a special segment at the end of the episode (running over a half hour) where they talk freely (aka spoiler filled) on L.A. Noire. If you don’t want to hear any L.A. Noire spoilers they tell you very clearly when to shut off the show.
This week the guys sit down and talk about the big week in games including the release of Portal 2 and the launch of the Gears of War 3 beta (Chris’s game of the week). They also get into the week’s biggest news where Chris refuses to say Fozzy was right about the new Nintendo console, talk about Valve being naughty little tricksters and the all of them make disparaging remarks about Sony’s Playstation Network. There is also an announcement about a big “giveaway” next week so enjoy the show and find out how you can “win”.
You know what is frozen, delicious and available in your grocery store’s frozen dog food section? Frosty Paws and Jeff thinks they are delicious despite certain Yahoo! users thinking that the treat contains cancer causing agents. Aside from talking about frozen dog food the crew gets into it about Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile, some stuff Fozzy was playing, Alan Wake, Sonic Colors, The 3rd Birthday, Dungeon Siege and a little bit of Scream. In news they discuss GeoHotz and Sony’s settlement, initial sales of the 3DS and the reported rumor of the Wii 2, which spawns some heated discussion. And of course the close it all in the letters section where the guys tackle some in depth topics including storytelling in games and the difference between JRPGs and WRPGs.
