Did You Miss the Xbox Reveal?

In: videos by Edie Sellers

21 May 2013

Worry not if you actually had, you know, a job or something and missed the big Xbox Reveal this morning from Redmond, WA.

It’s not easy to find a rebroadcast you can watch on-demand, but fortunately business icon Forbes.com has it available for you.

Check it out here.

Are you starting to get excited?

We are.

Tomorrow, May 21 at 10 a.m., Microsoft will reveal its new console—the 720, the Durango, whatever it’s called— at its Xbox campus. It’s the media event of the season, as it were.

We’ll be watching. You’ll be watching. Let’s watch it together!

Want to join us while we see what all the hubub is all about? It’s easy. For the record, we don’t have the video feed—you’ll have to go to Xbox for that—but we will be offering our commentary as it happens live. Just join our Spreaker feed. We’ll have a host of characters to pipe in on what we think as we think it.

On tap to join us:

  • Dave “Holy Goalie” Gardner, Nick Dinicola, and Edie Sellers (of course);
  • Mrs. Lefty Brown from the Married Gamers;
  • And introducing our community manager, Steve “PissBoy” Ortegon (he’s the guy who posts the news stories to our Facebook page);

And there’s you in our chat room to chime in on what you’re thinking as well. You lucky person.

Here’s what you need to do in the next few hours to be ready for the big event:

  1. Go to Xbox.com and sign in. Then bookmark the Xbox live video feed page.
  2. Go to Spreaker.com and sign in. If you don’t have a Spreaker account, get one now. It takes just a moment.
  3. Go to the GameHounds Spreaker page and favorite us.
  4. Before 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET on May 21, pull up the Xbox live video feed page you bookmarked in a browser window and open a second window to the GameHounds Spreaker page.
  5. When the GameHounds Spreaker feed goes live with our commentary at 10 a.m., start playing our audio. Then click the window that has the Xbox.com video feed so it moves on top of our Spreaker page window. That way you’ll see and hear Microsoft and hear us at the same time.
  6. You can adjust the volume of the GameHounds commentary feed via the Spreaker page to balance the audio.
  7. You will also be able to join our chat line and we will reply to you about what you’ve written—because you’re part of the experience!

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.
