Just over 9 months after our last episode, the new Re-Play Radio is live! Bryan and Steve sit down to talk about the best, worst, and indifferent games of 2012 in the Third Inaugural Completely Meaningless Re-Play Radio Video Game Awards! This year's categories include Best Story, Best Badassery, an impromptu Best Twist category, Best Multiplayer, and more, as well as console and platform-specific nods for the best each of the major platforms had to offer. What game will climb, battered and triumphant, above all others to win our Game of the Year? If you have been paying any attention to us at all on Twitter it will not really be much of a surprise. Download the show here. Complete show notes are here.

Re-Play Radio, Episode 34: Someone Else Might Have Gotten It Wrong

Re-Play Radio returns with a whole lot of Mass Effect. First it's an update on Skylanders, Simpsons: Tapped Out, and Journey in What Else. Then we have a spoiler-heavy conversation about Mass Effect 2, after Bryan sped through the game like a champ. Finally, Steve gripes about people spoiling Mass Effect 3 in the Rant, which gives way to general paired ranting about internet entitlement. Plus, Mordin! You must listen.

Re-Play Radio Episode 33: Mass Effective

Re-Play Radio speeds back with a whole lot of blue hedgehog. First it's What Else with talk of Skylanders, Gotham City Impostors, Soul Calibur V, and more. Then, it's a Sonic double-shot as we use Sonic CD to spin-dash our way into talking about Sonic Generations. Finally, Bryan gives a you what-for with a lesson in why Nintendo shouldn't pursue the iPhone market. We also talk quite a bit about the Golden Corral's "Chocolate Wonderfall." Look, it was a weird night, and you should probably just listen.

Re-Play Radio Episode 32: Sonic Wonderfall

Re-Play Radio is back and better than, or at least equal to, ever! First the boys take a trip down video game lane and discuss Star Trek Online, Soul Calibur IV, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Lord of the Rings: War in the North, and Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure in What Else. Then it's an RPR first as we break down the metaphysical implications of the BioShock 2 "Minerva's Den" DLC. Then it's ranting time, as Steve tells you why your anger at online passes is misplaced. All that and too many anecdotes about Skylanders are just a download away.

EP 15: The Parker 250 - when cow meets race car at 90 mph!

Checkers or Wreckers

DirtFish's Colin Clark, David Evans, Lisa O'Sullivan and George Donaldson discuss the current happenings in the world of rallying and provide their insights and thoughts.

Sports

The WRC's short-term technical future has finally been firmed up. But was retaining Rally1 rules the right call or should rally have gone more radical? George Donaldson joins David Evans and Alasdair Lindsay to debate the decision – plus talk Irish rallying and the WRC's fast gravel bloc. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Was keeping Rally1 the right call for WRC?

It’s a SPIN of two halves this week, with David Evans catching up with Colin Clark post-Finke in Australia, and Brenten Kelly in America following the latest ARA action at Southern Ohio Forest Rally. Or that was the plan. Then World Motor Sport Council made its announcements in Uzbekistan and, predictably, there was lots to talk about. Even though there were no changes to the technical regulations, the debate raged for quite some time. Now, the talk is of what comes next. If you’re a technically minded person within the FIA or the teams, the 2027 homologation cycle is almost upon us and rules have to be written fairly sharpish. Colin Clark reckons these could be the most important rules the governing body has ever written. What do you think? Join the chat in the comments. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why all eyes have to be on WRC 2027 now

Following last weekend’s Rally Italy Sardinia, Hyundai is 13 points clear of Toyota in the World Rally Championship’s manufacturers’ standings, and Thierry Neuville and Ott Tänak are sitting first and second in the drivers’ points. So is Toyota in crisis? That’s a question we ask on this week’s edition of SPIN, The Rally Pod. Host David Evans is joined by George Donaldson, Brenten Kelly and Jon Scoltock to dissect Sardinia’s major talking points. Is Toyota’s use of its part-time drivers not helping Elfyn Evans’ title chances? Did Neuville get it wrong by pushing too hard on Saturday? And what about the ‘sprint’ format of the event: did it work? We also look ahead to the American Rally Association’s latest round this weekend, the Southern Ohio Forest Rally. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Is Toyota in crisis?

A dramatically reduced number of stages means a very different looking Rally Sardinia. In this episode of SPIN, the rally pod, Colin Clark, David Evans, Jon Scoltock and George Donaldson discuss whether Thierry Neuville's Friday disadvantage could be nullified, if the new route offers value for fans, and what the WRC can do to increase its reach. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The WRC's Rally Italy experiment

Oregon Trail Rally threw plenty of curveballs. The headline was both Subaru factory cars retiring within a mile of one another and opening the door for its 12-rally winning streak to be broken. But it was about more than Subaru’s unexpected disaster. An ARA cameo might become something more after Ricardo Cordero got to taste the winner’s champagne – albeit at the expense of a potential first win for Sam Albert’s Ferrari-powered Subaru. And then there’s the story of how Sean Edwards went to extreme lengths to keep his Volvo in the race. Brenten Kelly, David Evans and Alasdair Lindsay are joined by Edwards in this week’s SPIN, The Rally Pod to talk everything Oregon Trail. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

"Hij ziet er nog heel goed uit. Hij zou perfect nog een derde of een vierde leven kunnen hebben."  Een verhaal van afscheid. Van autobezit in het algemeen. En van één geliefde auto in het bijzonder. In 1982 reisden romancier Julio Cortazar en fotografe Carol Dunlop van Parijs naar Marseille. Via de Autoroute du Soleil. Aan boord van hun Volkswagenbusje Fafner. Ze deden een volle maand over deze afstand omdat ze op elke snelwegparking die ze tegenkwamen een stop maakten. En op elke tweede parking de nacht doorbrachten! Deze absurd-poetische reis resulteerde in de roman 'De Autonauten van de Kosmosnelweg'.  In 2020 deed theater- en audiomaker Adriaan Van Aken deze reis over. Volgens hetzelfde reglement. Maar in zijn eentje, aan boord van zijn gezinswagen. Doel: na 30 dagen en 60 stops Marseille bereiken en daar zijn wagen van de hand doen. Om vervolgens een autoloos bestaan aan te vatten.
