Press Pause Radio

We’re approaching the last day of PAX East and we’re surprisingly chipper for what we covered so far but it’s a momentous PAX. It’s the first PAX to see an exclusive reveal, with Capcom and WayForward debuting their remake of an NES classic, Ducktales Remastered. Bob Mackey and the gang were able to fund their Retronauts Kickstarter within hours, and when we weren’t playing a lot of games, then we were treated some of the finer citizens in Boston. Special guest Seth Macy of the internet joins us as we gab up the event and recount our plans for Sunday.

e have always had some talk among the cast on doing completely different shows that are geared towards other facets other than video games. Considering PAX was a choice location to experiment with such an idea, we figured, why not give it the ol’ college try and experiment with some of the PAX community? The episode is centered on a social tabletop card game called Meta Game: Video Game Edition, for the sake of expediency, we’ll just link the rules right here, but to summarize, it’s a video game debate game. Couple that with the fact most of us (especially George) were irresponsibly drunk when we recorded it. Keep in mind again, even with all of our production wizardry, there is still come background noise as we directly interacted in the heart of PAX tabletop gaming the night we record, but we assure you, the episode is very much listenable.

elcome to the latest episode of Preeee….Server busy, try again later. Oh, sorry, did we mention that in order to listen to PPR, you’ll have to be connected to the web at all times? Yeah, well...that’s what we would say if we ENDORSED the idea of DRM, lucky enough for you guys, we don’t! This week we discuss the issues that lie in a possible future of always needing to be authenticated and monitored online in order to enjoy your favorite games and the serious implications that DRM brings to the table and all the negative fallout from its enforcement. Among the talk is Starcraft: Heart of The Swarm, Extra Mario Bros, Salamander, Tomb Raider and more. Also if any of you guys happen to have a sealed game then don’t let Ser know!

an, a game with a floating disembodied old man head has our early vote for the next Game of The Year folks! You heard it here first! Oh and Sony did show off their latest console to help usher in the next generation for video games, the PlayStation 4. Among the talk we’ve got some emails with some late confessions, thoughts towards Aliens: Colonial Marines, and we share our condolences for our favorite game enthusiast/journalism and media website on the internet-1UP.com. Jeremy Parish and company continued the legacy after so many have left and we indulge on why 1UP was so important to all of us.

loody mayhem you say, well; we have something we’d like to share. This week on Press Pause Radio, we return to discuss the subject of violence in video games and media in general as far as what sort of influence they may potentially have. Among all the serious talk, we also discuss Mailman ethics, Gargoyles the TV series, Dead Island controversies, Unepic, and more. So just sit back, relax, and enjoy the latest gathering of the PPR gang as we clench fists and talk some words on the effects of shooting a gun with a controller, spoiler; nothing dangerous and we’ll share why.

ell it’s the new year, you know, the big twenty-thirteen, and what better way to move on then to do a Games Club on our Golden Zonkey awarded Game of The Year title, The Walking Dead. Telltale was able to create a tale of misery and emotion in five episodes, and beyond all of the zombie madness, we learned what it truly is to protect what you love, no matter what the cost. Join us for this latest Games Club with Andrew, George, and special guest Dana, as we test our humanity (or in some cases, cast it aside) in this three hour spanning show where we cover all five episodes from start to finish. Come joins us and keep a box of Kleenex nearby so you can relive the trauma all over again with your favorite podcast, (or not, just listen to the show already!)
