January 19, 2009 GameHounds Episode 51: Good Girls Don't...
You know how that old song goes: Good girls don't, but I do.
Or in the case of this week, it's "we do." As in, two good girls on this podcast, friends.
This is the fullest -- and longest -- GameHounds episode to date. Joining regular hosts GamerEdie Sellers and Cooper Hawkes are The Married Gamers: Lefty Brown and Mrs. Lefty Brown.
It takes all of about 90 seconds for the podcast to come apart at the seams, but this episode is pure hilarity. Anyone who thinks we're fake... well, getta load of this episode! It doesn't get any more real than this.
In addition to lots of hilarity, the gang talks about the week in gaming news, including:
Take Two's due to "personal reasons."
Eidos execs say the company is No word on who, tho.
Mass Effect and its sequels , says a "fairly reliable source."

Random stuff: F.E.A.R 2 demo, Burnout Paradise "Ultimate Box," Zork (yeah, Zork!), Final Fantasy XIII, and other great stuff.

If you really want to understand that title, you're just gonna have to listen.
We'd really like to give you the obligatory cute opening on this one, but it's late for us and we've played too much Left 4 Dead to bother you with ornamental openers.

January 08, 2009 Humpdate 1-7-09
Welcome to the first Humpdate of the new year.
Actually, this Humpdate is of many firsts: First with Commander Tim Wilsie as permanent host; first with the new explicit Humpdate format.
It's chock-full of gaming news goodness.

January 05, 2009 GameHounds Episode 49: The Wookie Episode
Why is this week's episode The Wookie Episode?
Believe us when we say it will become patently evident once you listen.

Topics include:
Q Entertainment's Dylan Cuthbert says . Can we get a woot?
Nielsen Research , and the video console results are very surprising.
Wiley Publishing announces a . Ugh.
Kotaku's about Illinois, Alcopops, video games and a seemingly permanent departure from sense or reason.

January 02, 2009 GameHounds Episode 48: The Best of 2008
It's that time of year again. Namely: The end of it.
And that means a lot of resolutions, lists and maturbatory remixes of past events.
We chose to do the latter.
This Very Special Episode recaps some of our favorite moments from the last year in gaming and of the GameHounds Podcast. Cooper Hawkes and Edie Sellers bypass the week in gaming news -- and let's face it, it was little more than top 10 lists anyway. Instead, they bring you some golden moments of 2008 and discuss what they're expecting for 2009.
There's a little something for everybody.
Enjoy.

December 22, 2008 GameHounds Episode 47: The Puppy Episode
About five of you get the joke.
Anyway, it's Monday morning. I'm up with fewer than my requisite eight hours. I got a dog that whining to be taken out to piddle. I got a house that looks like a podcast hit it. I have a bare refrigerator. I have no tree nor Christmas presents yet purchased, much less decorated and/or wrapped. Tonight is my Christmas Eve...
... and today's my birthday.
So, in order to get this GameHounds episode out quickly and keep you waiting, I'm posting it without show notes. If any of you really can't find the site or want further links, just email me at [email protected] and I'll send you the link.
I know many of you really count on those show notes, but they do take a long time to put together, and I know there's a bunch of you impatiently waiting on this show.

December 18, 2008 Humpate 12-17-08
Wednesday may just be the Jan Brady of weekdays, but it's the Humpday and that makes it special.
Another special thing about this Humpday is that GamerEdie Sellers' co-host this week is listener Heartbreak Ridge, who brings a scholarly edge to the show.
This week, Edie and Heartbreak discuss:
Peter Molyneux offers up a and explains why he made so many of the game choices he did, including the vexing single-save slot. And the reasons aren't what you think. He also offers details on possible upcoming DLC.
Sony thinks . Maybe so,
Microsoft . Wonder why. (Hint: Rhymes with "Snase Sneraffe"...)
Did Microsoft ? If it did, how pissed would you be?
and prior furor goes down the memory hole.
Errata and Data: HR responds to Commander Tim; Gamerscores are now job requirements; letter from Deadite; the next Metal Gear is...

December 11, 2008 Humpdate 12-9-08
Yes, the long, long three-day wait is ovahh!
The new Humpdate is here and ready for your enjoyment and scorn. Because we aim to do both.
This week, Commander Tim returns for a more regular kind of Humpdate -- one with 100 percent fewer stories about scars.
... and 100 percent more gaming news.
This week, Edie and Commander Tim discuss:
The nasty economy hits Sony hard as it. No word yet how it may, or may not, affect Playstations and PSPs.
Fable 2 lead designer to work on a Syphon Filter-esque title.
Factor 5 opens a can o' whoop-ass on one of its artists .
heading to movie theaters and corner bars near you.
and proceeds to cause viral sites to jump the shark.

and proves once again that mainstream press is pretty clueless when it comes to video games.
Data and Errata: Halo Wars coming to Japan on February 26, Europe, Africa and Middle East a day later, and North America on March 3; Sony launches yet another self-congratulatory news site; Playstation Home launch "immenent."
