BLAST PROCESSING! Episode 53: A Bit of a Tease

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Erich, Tim, and Dave roll up the red carpet with a round of “Oscar Best Picture nominee video game tie-ins”—a bad idea that gets progressively worse. Things get better once talk turns to video games, as Dave embraces fight stick ownership, Tim earns his merit badge, and Erich decides on an unlikely first game purchase for 2010. Games discussed this episode include Street Fighter IV, Modern Warfare 2, Borderlands, Gears of War 2, Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, and Mega Man 10.

Now it’s your turn to tease us, by commenting below, heading over to the DVD Verdict Jury Room forums, or by emailing us at feedback@pixelverdict.com.

BLAST PROCESSING! Episode 51: The Efficient Gamer

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Dave, Tim, and Erich run through the games they’ve been playing—including Modern Warfare 2, Mass Effect, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, ‘Splosion Man, Dante’s Inferno, and Street Fighter IV—before looking ahead to big (and little) titles on the horizon. Dave wonders whether he should try Heavy Rain, Tim wonders whether he’ll be able to find a PS3 before God of War III comes out, and Erich wonders whether the Xbox Live Arcade Game Room will be worth downloading. No Symposium Ad Nauseum this week, but we have a very good excuse. At least, I think we do. You’ll have to listen to find out.

BLAST PROCESSING! Episode 47: Sports, Theology, and Pinball

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Dave, Tim, and Erich do their best to alienate listeners with musings on the religious implications of recent games, the tail-end of the NFL season, and NBA Jam tournament memories. The boys make up for it, though, with another 40 minutes of video game talk. Tim still loves Modern Warfare 2, Dave sings the praises of Darksiders, Erich learns a valuable lesson about his gaming tastes thanks to Batman: Arkham Asylum, and should difficulty count in review scores? The capper is this week’s Symposium Ad Nauseum: Over My Dead Body is My Daughter Marrying That Guy. Oh, and pinball.

Tim and Erich hop on board the BP Express for an hour-plus of gaming goodness. First stop, new games they’ve been playing, including a lengthy discussion about New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story, Modern Warfare 2, Borderlands, Doc Louis’s Punch-Out!!, and a DJ G-Raff musical Thanksgiving two-fer, Beatles: Rock Band and DJ Hero. In honor of The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks hitting shelves next week, the back half of the show is dedicated to Link’s handheld adventures, from the original Gameboy to his first dual screen incarnation.

Mario

Inspired by this week’s big Nintendo release of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Erich, Tim, and Adam don their plumbers caps this week for a mini-roundtable discussion of Mario games past, with highlights, lowlights, and nostalgia galore. Before they get to the mushroom-fueled fun, however, it’s all about games they’ve been playing, including Borderlands, Halo: ODST, Modern Warfare 2, Dead Space: Extraction, Beatles: Rock Band, and Torchlight.

The Charge

Opening Statement

Infinity Ward developed a first-person shooter and it made fifty quadrillion dollars.  Nothing I say here will have any effect on that.  But this bandwidth isn’t going to burn itself!

BLAST PROCESSING! Episode 38: Sick Day

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Dave pinch hits for a sickly Erich and recruits the Newfie Wonder Twins, Jon and Steve to help him carry the burden. Marvel as the three fill forty-five minutes with talk of Modern Warfare 2, Dragon Age: Origins, Borderlands, Brutal Legend, and Tekken 6, while indulging in such nonsensical digressions as the Arrested Development side-scrolling beat’em-up, their to-date Game of the Year choices (Jon and Dave are on the same page and no, it’s not XBLA Streets of Rage 2), most-anticipated releases in the next couple of months and, finally, the Negative Nancy segment where they each find fault in a beloved 2009 release.
