October 16, 2008 Humpdate 10-15-08
Have you noticed that the Humpdates have taken on the tone of a game show lately?
The search for a new Humpdate host continues this week with Batchelor Number Three, listener Mr. Maynard from the great state of Missouri.
Maynard and GamerEdie Sellers dish the dirt on the gaming industry with a host of news stories, including rumors that Metal Gear Solid 4 may be coming to the Xbox 360, the Endwar demo now on Xbox Live -- and not on the PS3, Red Ring of Death lawsuits, Microsoft's memory solution for the NXE, the latest in cardboard perpherals, and Far Cry 2's DRM.
Is Maynard your dream date? You'll have to listen to decide.

This week, Edie and Maynard discuss:
Japanese research firm who says the company is actively developing Metal Gear Solid 4 for the Xbox 360. Then to remove such comments. Weird.
Tom Clancy's . So much for scoring the beta codes. However, if you want to test it out, .
A alleging that the company knew 50 percent of Xbox 360s were defective but sold them anyway. The case is doomed, but it may prove elucidating if it gets far enough in court.
Microsoft reveals that the New Xbox Experience dashboard will require 128MB of memory. Great, as long as your system has a hard drive. If not, .
Behold the future of DRM: that plagued Spore, only kinder and gentler. This one's a win for the "online PR cabal."
. And it comes in a cardboard box. And inside, it will have a new Wii controller peripheral: A cardboard box. Yes, it's a box... in a box. And if you give it as a Christmas gift, it will be a box in a box... in a box. Oh, this could go on forever.

October 13, 2008 GameHounds Episode 37: Hawkes Is a Douchebag
This week's episode is distinctively Ramen flavored.
Yes, it's Tokyo Games Show week, and that means all the burning questions about video games have been answered.
Yeah. Riiight.
Instead, on many accounts, we're left with more information and, surprisingly, more questions than ever before.
Edie Sellers and Cooper Hawkes discuss the biggest news from TGS and do their best to put it all in perspective, while implying that certain members of certain game developers have had inproper relationships with cows, horses, broad sides of barns, and their mothers.

This week Hawkes and Edie discuss:
The new Bungie title is... HALO! Yep. .
The . However, it movies. Promises broken, again!
Want to get more out of your Resistance: Retribution experience? .
Peter Molyneux says the on day one of the game's released.
Could Diablo 3 be coming to a console near you? .

October 09, 2008 Humpdate 10-08-08
These days, Humpdates are really like Mother Gump's proverbial box of chocolates. How's that for a metaphor?
You see, GamerEdie Sellers is the chocolate covering -- she's creamy, sweet and you're not surprised it's there.
This week, the mysterious filling is Marcus "Jazz" Corrin of 360Arcadians.
Between the two of them, you have a satisfying treat.
Edie and Jazz dish the gaming-industry dirt on the cusp of Tokyo Games Show's first big keynotes.

This week, Jazz and Edie discuss:
Microsoft's TGS keynote kicks off the night of the recording. What do we think we'll hear?
What you won't hear this year, however, is about a price drop for the PS3. Sony reps say . And some industry analysts .
Nintendo's . Bummer. On the plus side,
November 18 and it will only cost $19.99. Great news. However, it's Spore Cute & Creepy Parts Pack -- not an expansion for the game, but for the Creature Creator.
Left 4 Dead for the PS3? .
A Bioware/LucasArts game is indeed in the works, and .
Activision finally lets us know . Surprise! It ain't cheap.
Rock Band's new website allows better access to the song library. Yawn. -- including 6" figurines of your virtual rock-star character. Awww, yeaaaaaah!!!

October 06, 2008 GameHounds Episode 36: Zombie Apocalypse
Ahhh. The GameHounds staff loves it when things get back to normal. Cooper Hawkes is back and drinking Southern Comfort, and Edie Sellers is sober and drinking water.
Two great things that go great together, especially when it comes to a podcast.
This week, Edie and Hawkes delve into a host of topics, including Alan Wake, the new Gears of War Zune, Sony's Tokyo Game Show debut rumors, how Bungie pissed off the UK, and how EA pissed off retired NFL players.
They also launch the latest Listener Appreication Month contest, in which you could win a GAF Viewmaster full of Fallout 3 screenshots and a bottle of real Nuka Cola -- both media swag from Bethesda's E3 appearance.
Check out the show notes and links for all da cool stuff after the jump...
Oh yeah, and these show notes thanks to Jong-Sun Yi, who reminded me no matter how drunk or tired we are, it's really important to write this shit up.
On this week's sh0w, Edie and Hawkes discuss:
lets you access content from Netflix, Hulu, CBS, YouTube and ESPN on your Xbox 360, PS3 and HP MediaSmart TV. And it's free. Fuck that "NXE" thing! Your assignment: See <-- We're not kidding... click that shit -- on Hulu for free this week. In-depth discussion and analysis next week!
. Who knew he had a thing for blondes?!?
Dear Santa, Hawkes would like a new for Christmas. What? He's been a bad boy, but wait, he thinks the Zune is the future of the Xbox 360!
Rumor: at next week's Tokyo Games Show -- or so says a Famitsu posting. Either that or Google translator is seriously fucked up.
Bungie . Seriously, doesn't anyone fucking vet their shit?
Retired NFL players say. If they have half the documents they say they do, this is going to be very, very ugly.
Oh yeah. And because we promised:
Beware the ! Particularly if those undead bastards are carrying Legos.

October 02, 2008 Humpdate 10-01-08
It's the first Humpdate without Simon DI, so we're taking the old jalopy out for a spin with a new co-pilot.
In an effort to show their love for listeners, the GameHounds staff decided to bring on a listener for a little live-action test driving of the Humpdate.
This week, listener William Griffin brings his A-game to the podcast as he and Edie Sellers discuss the first half of this week's gaming news. Topics include AC/DC's upcoming track pack (and all its weirdness), the rumored new DS announcement, the Xbox Slim, Playstation 4 spec speculations, and other cool stuff.
... And hookers. Yeah. Really. Hookers.
Topics and links after the jump...
This week, Will and Edie discuss:
Rumor: , Nintendo doesn't exactly deny it.
Xbox India o Split-Screen.com, which wrote the story, now says its writer could have made a mistake. Whups!
Xbox with a website modeled on the new navigation methods coming in the update.
According to Japanese website Impress, Sony has sent a very, very rough draft of Playstation 4 specs to third-party developers to get their opinions. .
AC/DC is coming to Rock Band and Rock Band 2 on November 2 for PS3 and 360, November 16 for Wii. ? Really?!?!
Dan "Shoe" Hsu has done it again. Part five of his "Behind the Scenes" blog series discusses, among other things, . We did say we'd talk about hooker, didn't we?
Enjoy.

September 29, 2008 GameHounds Episode 35: The Class-Action Lawsuit Episode
We know, we're getting lazy.
Actually we're not feeling very well tonight. And words are coming hard. Including show notes. So we'll keep it short. As you know, Hawkes is out this week, so BDazzler of Gamers Pub sits in. We talk about stuff. Lots of stuff.
Like I said, words come hard. Just listen, damnit.

September 22, 2008 GameHounds Episode 34: Exclusively Yours
So much to talk about, so little time.
It's Sunday night, and rather than boring you with details, let's cut to the chase.
This week's episode features GamerEdie Sellers and Cooper Hawkes. Edie says something, Hawkes disagrees. Blah, blah, blah.
We talk about Jasper, Life With Playstation, the Mass Effect movie, Bungie's big annoucement, Project Gotham Racing, LA Noire, and how much we hate the world "exclusive." We also reveal the winner of the copy of Spore and open a new contest for a copy of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for the Xbox 360.
All that great stuff... and no show notes. Awww. But don'tcha think it's worth it?
Enjoy

September 19, 2008 Humpdate 09-17-08
It's a sad day in GameHound land. This episode of the GameHounds Humpdate will be Simon DI's last time he'll appear as the regular co-host.
It's a sad day, but the GamerEdie Sellers sends him off with a heartfelt, if not a tearful, adieu.
And, of course, they also get into this week's gaming news. Lots to discuss, what with Sony throwing the Life with Playstation switch a hair early, rumors of Google buying Valve, Xbox 360 price drops in the UK, and Peter Molyneux's secret side.
All that can be yours for a listen.
Show notes and links after the jump...
This week, Edie and Simon DI discuss:
Whoops! . Of course, 24-hours later we NOW know that they threw it on for everyone.
Big FAT rumor: ?
Konami says it with Rock Revolution.
LittleBigPlanet and Europe on October 24?
Microsoft for the Xbox 360.
Peter Molyneux says Lionhead when they play Fable 2. Does Peter have something up his sleeve?
Rock Band 2's phoneme-detection system .
Plus thank yous, and a goodbye to Simon.
Enjoy

September 15, 2008 GameHounds Episode 33: When Mommy and Daddy Fight...
The GameHounds staff would love to go into a long explanation of this episode of GameHounds, but Rock Band 2 is loaded and they're *this* close to winning an Econoline van!
So they'll just give you the quick and dirty. This week's contest prize: A copy of Spore. Last week's winner of the four-pack of t-shirts: Bodabo 420.
Links? Uh yeah. Neither quick nor dirty, so they'll just have to wait for when the staff is through with the Rock Out With Your C*ck Out-fest going on in GameHounds Towers (ie: GamerEdie's living room).

September 11, 2008 Humpdate 09-10-08
This is going to be weird.
There's bad news and there's good news this week on the Humpdate. The bad news is that GameHounds' intrepid midweek show will suffer a loss in two weeks. Simon DI will be leaving as co-host due. He won't be leaving right off, however. GameHounds listeners will have a good-bye episode next week.
This week, however, is Simon-free. It's also Hawkes-free and everybody-else free. GamerEdie Sellers goes solo -- not with weekly gaming news, but intstead with a series of interviews from the Penny Arcade Expo -- including representatives of Starcraft 2, Pirates of the Burning Sea, and Tritton Technologies.
As a bonus, those who prefer to listen to a bit racer speech will enjoy three segments after the break, recorded during a long night of drinking after PAX closing time. Chiahippo of Platform Nation describes penile surgery in gruesome detail, the most contemptable thing he's ever done, and how he got his nom de plume.
GameHounds apologizes for the lack of actual news dicussion but promises the news shall return on Saturday's regular GameHounds Podcast with Cooper Hawkes.
