Sometimes it’s all about Skyrim. Actually, lately it’s frequently been all about Skyrim, … but that’s another post.

This week, our intrepid GameHounds hosts — Holy Goalie, Nick Dinicola, and Edie Sellers — discuss one big news-related topic: Used games and their pros and cons. This comes from a recent rumor from Kotaku that the next gen Xbox console may contain some voodoo in the chipset that prevents used games from being played.

Not bloody likely, that that doesn’t stop the GameHounds gang from launching into a sometimes heated discussion of the used-game market and its effect on the game industry.

Enjoy.

It’s a lot more than 99 problems. The first one being a computer that won’t talk to your recording software.

That didn’t stop the GameHounds kids from getting it done for another episode of GameHounds Podcast.

Nick Dinicola, Holy Goalie, and Edie Sellers rip out a short podcast and a long Rumor Mill — you know, the part where they talk about spoilers and tips for Skyrim. We promise, next week, less Skyrim.

Enjoy.

Ed. note: The corrupted sound file is now not corrupted… in theory. Sorry.

That’s what happens this week with GamerEdie Sellers, Nick Dinicola, and Holy Goalie. It’s kinda like Skyrim: Just when you think you’re done, you discover a whole new uncharted territory.

Of course, Skyrim plays a large part in the length of this show. The trio not only discuss the game, which has become more a lifestyle than just a game, and then tack on an extra Rumor Mill section of spoilers and tips for Skyrim

The delay in getting this week’s show on the servers comes from a new GameHounds computer system, which is still working out some settings and details. You’ll probably notice that this week’s show is louder than previous shows. Just a little warning, there. Turn down your MP3 player a bit more than usual to listen to this show. These little refinements will be improved in coming weeks.

Enjoy.

The fuuuuuuture!

This episode, recorded on the birthday of co-host Edie Sellers, goes over a bunch of stuff. Edie, Nick Dinicola, and Holy Goalie get a visit from a listener who defends Batman: Arkham City, Nick breaks his Skyrim cherry, and the gang go over what’s interesting in the gaming world.

And yes, there’s a wishlist in there somewhere.

Also, GameHounds revives that venerable tradition: The Good Kid/Bad Kid contest. Want to win a whole bucketload of games? This week, we’re opening entries for the Bad Kids out there. Nine awful games for one awful deed. Details are in the show.

Enjoy.

This week, the GameHounds cast (Edie Sellers, Nick Dincola, and Holy Goalie) pick the best of the year and explain why these games stand above all others.

Show notes? Nah. When you’re talking about what can only be considered as the Academy Awards of gaming, it needs no steenking show notes.

Oh, and if you’re really into Skyrim, we’ve tacked on something we call The Rumor Mill, a segment where we chat up rumors of some tricks and tips in the game. If any of them work, or don’t work, let us know.

Enjoy.

In a season where the biggest of the triple-A games are hitting market, one has become a massive time and energy sink: Skyrim.

Edie Sellers, Holy Goalie, and Nick Dinicola devote this entire episode on Skyrim — the ups, the downs, the pluses, the minuses. The various wildlife floating across the tundra. Yeaaaah, a lot of that.

And they read a ton of listener mail about favorite moments, usually bug related. And usually hilarious.

Don’t worry, there’s also a smattering of Assassin’s Creed and Battlefield 3 in there as well. But this is a big fat Skyrim episode. Don’t lose sight of that.

Enjoy.

(Ed. note: We will not be posting a podcast next week due to conflicting schedules of your esteemed podcasters. So soak this one up thoroughly, kids. We’ll be posting two weeks from now.)

Yeah, that was uncalled for. Sorry.

In this rant-fueled episode, Holy Goalie lets us know exactly what he thinks about video-streaming services, while Nick Dinicola and Edie Sellers sit back and enjoy the show. They also hit the news, including:

• Skyrim, Assassin’s Creed, and Modern Warfare, oh my!
• Does there need to be any more news?

Enjoy!

Okay, maybe not pandemonium. Mostly it’s co-hosts Nick Dinicola and Edie Sellers ignoring just about everything that spouts outta Goalie’s pie-hole.

What else is new?

But seriously, our intrepid hosts once again hit the gaming news, including:

• Siri outage hits the GameHounds, as evidenced by Episode 161.
• iOS 5 to iTunes 10.4 problems fixed with update.
• Dead Island update makes game harder… and easier… and harder.
• Xbox dashboard update will get rid of some pages, clean up the front page, and add “beacons.”
• Rumors of what Microsoft intends for the next Xbox are… rumor-y.
• Mass Effect 3 mistakenly releases beta, but it won’t have local multiplayer. Period.
• Skyrim has infinite procedurally generated quests.
• Black Friday deals are out there.
• Nick gets flamed by a listener… Or should we say, Miss Dinicola.

Enjoy.
