December 08, 2008 GameHounds Episode 45: Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
Finally, a GameHounds episode where almost nothing goes wrong.
GamerEdie and Cooper Hawkes return again to the podcast mics to bring you the wrap-up of the week in the gaming-news world. Let's face it, it's the end of the year; news is slow. That doesn't mean Edie and Hawkes don't find a lot to talk about. These two could chat up a fence post -- and manage to make it walk away offended.
This week they discuss:
Say . With its recent purchase by what looks to be a corporate raider and looking down the business end of $240 million in corporate debt, stick a fork in it.

December 04, 2008 Humpdate 12-2-08
Some Humpdates are just a little more Salvador Dali than others.
This week, Edie Sellers co-hosts with Commander Tim Wilsie , formerly of The Widget and currently of Pink Ninja Studios and the Commander Tim Podcast.
With so little happening this week, rather than try to interest you in so-so news, Edie and Tim just kinda shoot the sh*t, you might say. Think of it like a pre-show chat up that just ended up becoming the show. Which is exactly what happened.
No topic items, since no actual news topics really get discussed. But there's a whole lot of gaming chatter and even more details of how Tim and Edie got their best scars.
Enjoy.

November 27, 2008 Humpdate 11-26-08
Just when you think you're clear of the curse...
Spazmat comes along.
As with last week, listener Matthew "Spazmat" Goss joins GamerEdie Sellers as co-host for the Humpdate. And as with last week, depsite everything be double and quadruple checked prior to recording, a mystery buzz showed up on Edie's side of the conversation.
Only at 36 minutes in does it get fixed.
So you have two choices this week: Listen to a full show with half static, or listen to half a show that sounds great. It's your call.
If you'd rather just jump to the show notes, this week Edie and Spaz talk about:

November 24, 2008 GameHounds Episode 43: God Hates You, Not Me!
If you'll notice, GameHounds has decided to bypass last week, pretend it doesn't exist, and carry on with head held high as if nothing happened. It's better for everyone.
So, you'll be glad to know that the curse is broken. We do indeed have a GameHounds this week. Complete and on time.
Edie Sellers and Cooper Hawkes have so much to catch up on, this episode's chock full of gaming news goodness.
Topics include:

November 20, 2008 This Is Not a Humpdate, Dammit
There are some weeks that you just wish you could hit the reset button on your life.
You'll notice that there has not been a GameHounds or Humpdate for longer than usual. Yeah, we noticed, too.
Not for lack of trying. We had repeated, yet unrelated, problems with GameHounds Episode 42 over several nights. So, after a certain point you just throw your hands up and say, "F*ck it."
Which is what we did -- but we did so promising that we'd deliver a massive, mindblowing, best-evar Humpdate this week to make up for it.
We pre-prepped the show. We double-checked our show notes. Hell, we even freakin' spellchecked our shownotes.
We got listener Spazmatt, our guest host, online good and early. We didn't even freak out when we had some audio problems. "We can do this," we thought. "We must do this. For the fans!"
And then --after two hours of recording some of the most hilarious listener-generated rants we've had in a long time -- only then did we realize that we had done the podcast entirely wrong and it was entirely unlistenable.
So, again we threw our hands up in the air and said, "F*ck it." Not for lack of trying, but because it became patently evident that someone up there did not want us to release a podcast this week. And no amount of determination on our part would change things.
Thus we present to you the Not a Humpdate. It is not a podcast. There is no discussion of gaming within. It's not really anything except an explaination in detail of what happened and why we aren't discussing gaming.
Your welcome to listen, as we've tried to make is remotely entertaining. However, if you don't want to hear Edie and Spazmatt bellyache about all the messed up things that have happened in the last week, you're also welcome to ignore it.
Hopefully this curse will abate sometime before Sunday, when we really do release a new GameHounds episode, this time with guest host Commander Tim joining Edie and Cooper Hawkes.
Enjoy... actually, scratch that. Don't enjoy. Because .

November 12, 2008 GameHounds Episode 41: Gears of Fish and Peas
Wow. Has it really been more than a week since we chatted?
Rather than bore you with details, we'll just shoot to the crux of it all. This is GameHounds Episode 41. It was recorded 10 hours before Edie boarded a plane, and it was uploaded from Boise, Idaho. Yeah, that's why it's late. Edie and Kevin were in the air and having their bags disappear into the airline netherworld.
So we apologize. But at least you have it now, right?
On the show, Edie and Cooper Hawkes discuss the latest in the gaming industry news, including:
User-created LittleBigPlanet or explaination.
Two more EA customers being installed on their computers.
Activison/Blizzard CEO tells shareholders that the .
Warring fanboys manage to who's not a big-league game critic, including sites like this. Thanks, douchebags.
. Interesting stuff, which will merit an explaination, later.

It's a new week. A week minus the Boston Red Sox.
