Episode 5: I now pronounce you, art and games

Nick, Kaz and Justin meet up to seriously discuss groping witches, Jack Black license games and games as an artform. Nick delivers his report from Otacon, he found interesting games in the midst of all the sweaty dudes dressed like ladies. Justin puts Nacho Libre to rest, and the rest of us ignore that fact. All three discuss the Roger Ebert criticism of games as high art and determine subjective concepts really do differ from person to person! Then the crew throws down on some tasty news tidbits. Remember, all the good little boys and girls get I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry DS in their stockings…(Editor’s Note: We refer to this as episode 4, we’re only human I suppose…)

Episode 4: The reaction after the drizzle

Nick joins Kaz and Tom in Cleveland for this show. This special show is a departure from our normal format, we ignore movies and television this week in favor of talking exclusively about E3. Did any of the big 3 pull through? Were there any handheld games? What did we think was the best? Answers to these questions and many more are contained inside; in-between the Star Wars references. Discuss at board.therumblepack.com.

Episode 3: The calm before the storm

A couple days before E3 Nick, Kaz and Justin got together to talk about the week’s news and to give some predictions about E3. If your name is Justin you should go see Transformers. Throw grammar to the wind and enjoy this pre-E3 podcast post-E3. Timely as always.

Episode 2: Concerning Four Skins

This week’s podcast was nearly sunk; mired in technical difficulties, the whole crew soldiers on. We pick up shortly into Justin’s list of recently played games. Four skins may give you seizures, but only if they have wild west rootin’ tootin’ themes. Grand Theft Auto manages to steal our attention (and cars). No movie discussion this week but it’ll come back next week. A healthy dose of news rounds out the podcast this week. Also, don’t buy Pokemon: Battle Waste of Money. Technical difficulties should lessen next week.
