GameHounds 220: The Boba Fettish

In: Podcasts by Edie Sellers

17 May 2013

Sweet, hot Boba Fett. We lurves us some Fett, if you’re pickin’ up what we’re layin’ down.

We’re going to leave you with that. And the image of Nick Dinicola in a gold bikini.

While Nick is joined by Holy Goalie and Edie Sellers as they attempt to make each other throw up in their mouths, the GameHounds team also brings a steaming pile of reviews and news for your podcasting enjoyment.

Topics include:

  • Reviews of Sniper Ghost Warrior 2, Monaco, Assassin’s Creed III‘s Tyranny of King Washington DLC, Mass Effect 3‘s multiplayer (again).
  • Rovio announces it will offer user accounts so you can play your Angry Birds game across all your devices.
  • Electronic Arts will no longer license the representations of guns from the gun manufacturers. Lawsuit pending.
  • EA’s financial report show that SimCity was a success, but Dead Space 3 and Crysis 3 didn’t.
  • In more EA news, it secured an exclusive contract to develop future Star Wars games, but don’t expect them until 2014. And the Wii U? Fergeddaboutit.
  • How much does Assassin’s Creed former creative director Patrice Desilets hate Ubisoft right now? Let’s just call it the white-hot heat of 1,000 suns.
  • Sanctum 2 is out and in the world. You might want to check it out.
  • Don’t update your Dragon’s Dogma or Dark Arisen. That would be bad.

NOTE: The delay in the release of this show is due to the fact that there was no show recorded this week, so we spaced it out a bit so you wouldn’t be left for a week without a show.

ANOTHER NOTE: We will be Spreaker-casting live the Microsoft console announcement on Tuesday, May 21 at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET on our Spreaker page. Watch it with us and interact in our chat room as we find out what the new concole has in store.

We’re not going to lie. This could quite possibly be the funniest show we’ve ever done.

See, Happy Endings is supposed to run a half hour. You know. Thirty minutes of post-podcast banter with some live input from listeners.

You are coming to the show, right? You can get it on your iPhone, Android device, or iPad.

Aaaaanyway, this show is almost two hours. Yeah, we end up laughing ourselves silly for two hours. We also go into more detail about our reviews, but then someone brings up genital mutilation and porn. And it all goes sideways.

Here is the recording for your enjoyment.

If you had visited our Spreaker page, though, you would have seen this more than a week ago. So, don’t wait for this stuff to appear here. If you can’t be there for the live broadcast, go to our page anytime to listen to all these shows immediately as they are finished recording.

This episode is 100 percent nasal.

If you have any issues with listening to people be sick and get progressively sicker over the course of an hour, this is not the show for you.

GamerEdie and her amazing inflating nose is joined by Holy Goalie and Nick Dinicola to chat up games and gaming news of the day. Topics include:

Enjoy.

Some things are so good, you just have to stop what you’re doing and take a moment to memorialize it.

This is one of these moments.

Scene: Dave finishes Bioshock Infinite, looks at wife, wife shrugs, Dave calls Edie.

And we pick up from there, where Dave is, well, pretty pissed off by the game’s ending. We discuss what it all means, how it works and doesn’t work, and how to reconcile spending that much time on a end that made you feel like a dog shown a card trick.

WARNING: This episode is completely SPOILERIFIC about Bioshock Infinite. You have been advised.

Sanctum 2 gets its fundamentals so right that everything else could suck and it’d still be a good game.

Sanctum 2 is a tower-defense first-person shooter. Note the order of those genres; Sanctum 2 has a lot of shooting in it, but it’s not about the shooting. You can play with guns and lasers and rockets, but that’s not the point of the game; all these things are just various means to the same end: Protecting the core (your tower).

Happy Endings, Episode 3

In: GameHounds: Happy Endings by Edie Sellers

2 May 2013

We have no delusions on this episode of Happy Endings. Recorded shortly after the show recorded last Wednesday, we suffered through a magical disappearing Nick and Edie being congested to an almost painful degree.

This episode discusses the art of lighting farts, what to do with shell casings in your handbag, and the comparison of Disneyland versus Disney World.

Mass Effect 3 multiplayer gets mentioned, Borderlands 1, and Bioshock Infinite.

Enjoy.

GameHounds 218: Staying Calm and Carrying On

In: Podcasts by Edie Sellers

21 Apr 2013

It’s hard to do a show two days after a national tragedy, but we did it.

The crew finds a way to keep calm, carry on, and make the best of a tough few days. Holy Goalie, who’s in the Boston area, is joined by Nick Dinicola and Edie Sellers while they get very raw and real about all the crazy emotions going through them at the moment and wondering how to they talk about something so trivial as video games when a horrible event such as the Boston Marathon bombing is so fresh and raw.

Since this recording, the two bombers have been caught or killed, and while we still have a lot of questions unanswered, the answer to “what do we do now” is to not let the tragedy stop our lives… or our podcast.

ALERT: GameHounds won’t have a show next week due to Edie going out of town. Need something to tide you over? Try our two episodes of GameHounds: Happy Endings on Spreaker.

This one.

Right here.

In the week’s episode, the somber GameHounds gang discusses:
