BLAST PROCESSING! Episode 76: Two Player Co-Op Edition!

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Steve and Jon tackle this episode Co-op style while Adam ventures across the frozen tundra of Greenland to rescue rare sea birds. Jon’s been playing a lot of Ys Seven on his PSP, and Steve got a little quality time in with Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days, Mafia II, and makes a second attempt at Final Fantasy XIII. They both have some early thoughts on the first hour or so of Metroid: Other M to share as well.

After that comes discussion of Gamescom, Europe’s biggest video game conference. What rocked? What sucked? Listen and learn. This one is much better than the last time we let these two run an episode.

How do you feel about obscure Japanese action role playing games? Are you jonesin’ for some Metroid? Did you dig what you heard out of Gamescom? Share in the comments below, over in the DVD Verdict Jury Room forums, or by emailing feedback@pixelverdict.com.

BLAST PROCESSING! Episode 74: The Getting Old ‘Cast

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

While Steve is on vacation, Erich breaks into the studio to record a podcast filled with rants and ramblings about not having time to play games and other side effects of getting old. He is joined by fellow old-timers Adam and Tim, who manage to calm gramps down long enough to talk about Halo Wars, Resident Evil 5, Alan Wake, and the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion.

BLAST PROCESSING! Episode 73 – Nuclear Launch Detected!

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

PixelVerdict’s resident Canadian contingent returns for another week of hating the things you love, and they bring along a bitchin’ new theme song courtesy of Dan Moore. Jon and Steve reveal a sense of  malaise over Starcraft II, leading into a discussion on the Real Time Strategy genre as a whole, and whether or not it’s a dead horse. If so, how can it be saved? Steve talks some DeathSpank, and farmers who are looking for pooh! Meanwhile, Adam puts the kibosh on Dragon Quest (Warrior) IX (9).

This week’s random inquiry asks, “What was the last great Sega game?” Madness follows, and Jon says some very, very bad things.

How do you feel about real time strategy? Were you disappointed with Starcraft II? Care to defend the crapulence that is SEGA in the 21st Century? Why not Let us know in the comments below, over in the DVD Verdict Jury Room forums, or by emailing feedback@pixelverdict.com.

BLAST PROCESSING! Episode 72: Fear our Shaq Fu!

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Join Steve, Dave, and Jon as they work the mic like vandals. Dave is (again) a PS3 owner, thus making the entire PixelVerdict Crew a bunch of namby-pamby fence sitting panzies who refuse to choose ONE side in the great World Console Wars. Dave rocks the DJ Hero (Renegade Version bitches! Fo’ Reals!), Jon plays some archaic fighting games, and Steve takes Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days for a spin.

Random questions are the order of the day, as Steve, in celebration of the announcement of Street Fighter X Tekken asks for some “Ultimate Fighting game throwdowns”, and Dave wants to know about the cheapest bossfights in video game history, Damn you Heihachi Mishima!

Are you man enough to fight with me? Do you have a suggestion for the most ultimate fighting game showdown? Can you rock two turntables and a microphone? Why not Let us know in the comments below, over in the DVD Verdict Jury Room forums, or by emailing feedback@pixelverdict.com.

BLAST PROCESSING! Episode 71: The Ultimate Dragon Warrior Quest… or something!

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

After a week off for Summer Vacation, Steve, Jon, and Adam return, with speak of obscure WWE wrestlers from the 1990’s. Adam shares thoughts on Dragon Quest (Warrior!) IX, Jon is a generation behind with Dragon Quest (Warrior!) VIII and Steve finally puts Mass Effect 2 to bed.

After that we celebrate the banner year that was 2010 thus far by picking our favorite games of the first half of the year, which game we are most looking forward to in the second half, and which awesome game none of you ungrateful bastards bothered to play whilst you were busy with Mass Effect 2, Splinter Cell: Conviction, and Red Dead Redemption.

What was your favorite game of the first half of 2010? What are you anxiously awaiting for the rest of the year? What obscure gem do you think we should all be playing to while away the slow Summer months instead of going outside?

BLAST PROCESSING! Episode 70: Welcome to Earth!

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

In a world where your life is no longer your own…

Steve, Jon, Adam, and Erich, our Token American(patent pending) invite you to partake of our spirited discussion on the timely topic of internet privacy as it relates to Blizzards World of Warcraft and Starcraft II Internet Forums. Is it really that big of a thing that they’re making people use their real names?
But first, You must wander through the usual mire and muck of what we’ve been playing, what we’ve been buying but not playing, why Blast Processing has a restraining order against Mrs. Adam, what Erich thinks of OnLive and Alan Wake, Jon’s opinion of The Mega Man Zero Collection, and what awesome item Erich purchased last weekend! Hint: It is awesome!
We also celebrate the one and only holiday that’s all about Presidents who fly fighter planes and punching Aliens right in their stupid faces by waxing nostalgic about some of the great (and awful) games from Arcades past that have yet to appear in some form of home collection. There are also the usual offensive bits about female WoW players and Mac Gamers.

How do you feel about Blizzard’s new stance on anonymity? Did you read Jon’s Sin and Punishment review? Are you mad at Steve for his insensitive comments about women who play WoW? Why not let us know over in the DVD Verdict Jury Room forums, or by emailing at feedback@pixelverdict.com.

BLAST PROCESSING! Episode 69: Time travelling Transformers and Communist Aliens.

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Steve and Jon are left to their own devices this week – may God have mercy on your souls.

Steve really likes Singularity, which allows you to crank back time on a top secret island where the Red army conducted all kinds of spooky experiments. Jon is digging on Sin & Punishment: Star Successor, which is full of bizarre kids who may or may not be aliens, robots, or amnesiacs.

Both then share their thoughts on Transformers: War for Cybertron, before the rest of our show is devoted to the sobering past of Transformers videogames, and Steve again trashes major review sites.

What was Jon’s favorite Transformer? What exciting features await you in Transfomrers: Beast Wars: Transmetals for N64? How many Jetfires did Steve own? How many good games actually existed on the Nintendo 64? All this and more awaits you just beyond.

If only we could crank back time on this episode…

Did you dig the new Transformers game? Are you a dirty Commie like Steve? Let us know in the comments below, over in the DVD Verdict Jury Room forums, or by emailing at feedback@pixelverdict.com.
