VG Pulse 57: Hail to the News

This is going to be a very special episode of VGP for the history books. Its a solo show for myself with an unprecidented amount of news. Had DarkGod been here, we would have gone for over two hours. But given that it was just me, I summerized, skipped a few and ended up talking really fast. Still lots of news to go over; Nintendo, Hackers and E3 leftovers. The forums this week was a good showing, you shared your thoughts on E3 2011. We won’t have any more E3 forums till next year. But right now is another good one on the recent hackings. Then it is off to the review which I may never hear the end of, Duke Nukem Forever. It came out, was then promptly hated on by all main stream gaming media and I’m now here to give my thoughts on the entire matter. Send you opinions on this matter to my email if you want, I won’t change my stance on it. Good times, Listen in to find out. Continue reading “VG Pulse 57: Hail to the News”

The conferences and games get discussed again, in a bit more detail. Also we get everyones opinion on Nintendo’s new piece of hardware, for better or for worse. I still don’t like the controller, but it is still early, I will hold out hope. We then skim over the forums and give you our most embarrassing E3 memory. Then its of to a review. Some may remember back in VGP 29, The Fan Show, That Bionic did a preview of Fable 3. He is back to finish his review. Lots to talk about, with lots of people to do the talking.

VG Pulse 55: Dreamcast World Dusk

Well here we are, a few days away from E3. The news is a 50/50 mix of rumors and announcements. The rumors I can deal with. The announcements just before a major gaming convention where everyone announces there big projects, well that just leaves me wondering wtf? Then I have relapsing memories of 2008 E3 and that is bad. The forums tell us your thoughts on what you want to see at the show, then we go into our wishes. Then we have two reveiws to round this show out before next weeks nightmare. A very special thanks to FamilyJules7x for permission to use his cover on the end of this podcast 🙂 Continue reading “VG Pulse 55: Dreamcast World Dusk”

VG Pulse 54: Chasing A Grand City Fail

This weeks episode is brouhgt to you by failure. That is a technical, tempurature and english failure. I couldn’t figure it out untill the next day but skype decide to haunt the input volume on our mic. So our volume is anywhere from really soft to screaming loud. Audacity also went and had a bit of a tantrum as well. After an unprecidented 9 hours of editing its not going to get any better, sorry. So we recorded the show on Sony Vegas movie maker. It worked well enough. As for what happened during the show, Vailreth joins us once again to discuss the video games and sutch. The sutch being how hot the weather is. Once the three of us get through the news, We continue to the forums and butcher the English language. Not as bad as Fox news butchered the facts but still. Then we finish up with two reveiws. One that is good and the other that turns into a rant that goes on for way too long. Good times, Listen in to find out. Continue reading “VG Pulse 54: Chasing A Grand City Fail”

VG Pulse 52: Cake Flavored Lolis

This episode is a very long one and we are not even close to E3. The news for once is not dominated by the PSN, but there is a good amount of it. The news other than the PSN is quite diverse and wild. A little bit of everything for everyone. After that long news overload we go over the forum. Getting your thoughts on the “Welcome Back” program, mostly it turns it to a rather sidetracked discussion, but still good and entertaining. Then not to be outdone by external forces, we go into a dual reveiw. The review is spoiler free, if you consider the first 30 minutes of the game open for discussion. If not then, well there are spoilers then. Ohh well, Good times to be had, Listen in to find out. Continue reading “VG Pulse 52: Cake Flavored Lolis”

Sony’s PSN situation has been upgraded from a blackout to a meltdown. The news just keeps getting worse as more details are released. While this is the big disscussion of the week we also have a lot of other news bits. We go over that in a rapid fire news segment. Mostly invented to save the podcast from being too long. The forums this week tell us that most of you have not played a game with a bad story, or just didn’t post in the forum. We think its the latter, but thats ok. There is a new forum to post in right now, dealing in your thoughts on the psn debacle. Then its off to two reviews. Good times to be had, Listen in to find out. Continue reading “VG Pulse 50: Grim Meltdown with Sunshine”

This is our longest show yet, why you ask??? The News is out of control. Sony contiues its battle with the hackers and bad PSP Go sales. Not to be out done there is also some Nintendo news.

After that exhaustive news section, we look into the forums. The forums this week focus on what you thought was the hardest common enemy you have faced. Not to be supprized, there is a common theme. To finish off this episode of awesome sauce and double rainbows, We’ve got an update and a dual review. If thats not good enough for you, then I’ll tell you this much …… the game is free :).
