Episode 13: TGS

We recorded this a mere 2 hours before the midnight launch of Halo 3, don’t be offended that we don’t talk about it. The crew played the Playstation 3 and Tom and Nick have mixed feelings. After discussing their worries about the PS3 the crew moves on to all the bright shiny news from the PS3’s future as well as talking about the prettiest thing your Wii might ever display from VanillaWare. After all the TGS talk there’s not much news to talk about, other than the pre-Halo 3 hype and a little video game movie magic. Get ready to finish that fight today!

P.S. Justin says: Not playing Halo 3 is a sad experience.

Episode 12: What They Have To Do

Nick, Tom and Kaz meet to discuss and do impersonations. Tom has finished Prime 3 and started every RPG under the sun, Nick started Prime 3 and broke out his inner drum master and Kaz has been grinding all over the place and so has his computer and Xbox; to a dead halt. They gang pits the track-list for Guitar Hero III and Rock Band in a fight to the death and dissect the latest NPD numbers, what does the PS3 need to get going? Then some healthy tidbits from Microsoft at TGS and news from around the industry finish this fight. Tell your friends: it’s time to start rumbling!

Then the crew tallies up all the purchases they will be making this winter. Followed by a news section that covers everything–the Silent Hill 5 footage, Zelda Crossbow Training, the Lair Reviewers’ Guide. Stay tuned after the outro music for a chat with Justin from China.

And a healthy dose of some early Metroid Prime 3 love round out this episode, recorded completely in Cleveland. Get ready for your steamer!
