GamePunchers

It's a conversation. About video games. And it's probably relevant to your interests.

Here's everything that went wrong: Steve introduced the show by incorrectly calling it episode 41, John started talking about fleshlights in the middle of his Walking Dead: 400 Days rant, Steve laboriously read aloud all of the games on his Steam list that he also owns on other platforms, and we topped it off by bringing Fraser into the conversation for the last 20 minutes, only to discover at the end that no one was recording his audio. Oh yeah, Steve went off on a thing about D&D board game like Dungeon Commander and Wrath of Ashardalon​, and tries to explain Gamma World badly.

We go Steam Summer Sale crazy, we pay our respects to Ryan Davis, GiantBomb.com's resident MC and cofounder, and talk about Julie Larson-Green picking up where Don Mattrick left off on the Xbox One's road to launch. Also, if you were wondering what these collectible Steam Cards are all about, Fraser gives us the complete skinny.

First off, apologies for the background hum noise on this episode... must be magnets or the government. Anyway, we somehow manage to cram about 300 different topics into just over an hour's worth of podcast -- Shriners, Water Country USA, the optimum sequence to watch the Star Wars saga, Microsoft's PR battle, Don Mattrick's highly lucrative move to Zynga as its new CEO, and Sony's E3 pandering... I've no idea how the show formed this way... it happened. It just happened... emergent podplay and all that.

Board Games, Doctor Who, Roblox, Octodad... just another GamePunchers Podcast!

This week we poke at the remains of Microsoft's disasterful E3 showing, highlighting the physical awkwardness of Don Mattrick's "here's the console' PR photo. Also, Steve talks incessantly about The Last of Us, and Jon nerds all over the iOS release of XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

As another E3 draws to a close, our buddy Fraser joins us once again to help us break down everything worth talking about at this year's show.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! E3 2013 is finally upon us and promises to be the best we've had in 7 years.

ALL THE TOPICS! Renaissance Festivals, the complete Tomb Raider experience, Xbox 360 launch titles of yore, fast meade home brew kits, overheating Xbox 360's, and the resultant DIY repair.

Fraser (of Transatlantic Rants Podcast) is all up in our business this week, helping out with the heavy-lifting - Namely discussing our innermost feelings about the Future of Xbox event held my Microsoft on May 21st.
