It's a relatively low-key podcast this week as Jinny and I tell Ross about how much fun we had without him in San Fransisco. We discuss Flynn DeMarco's production of Bride of Frankenstein, the Treasure Island Music Festival and the Flaming Lips, time travel and Higgs-Boson particles, hyperspace, Demon Souls, bit.Trip Void and more.

This week's podcast features me, Jinny, Qais and Ross discussing how Brutal Legend surprised us with its humor and style, this week's releases including Uncharted 2, Afrika, Half-Minute Hero and A Boy and His Blob, Cryptic's new Champions Online comic book creation software, The Bride of Frankenstein in San Francisco, and more. Batman and cake and the Kindle. A random array of things discussed for your enjoyment.

It's just two old dudes reminiscing about "the good ol' days" on this week's podcast. Yup. Just me and Ross waxing nostalgic about the golden age of gaming, LIFE magazine, Monty Python, Mickey Mouse, Queen and Super Mario Bros. Ah, the memories! We also crack open the mailbag and ask the eternal question: Why are there so many people named Diego listening to the podcast?! And more. There's always so very much more.

When is enough enough? Franchises losing their luster is a main topic of discussion on this week's podcast with me, Jinny and Ross weighing in on Street Fighter, Katamari and Metal Gear Solid. We also crack open the mailbag, which was filled to the brim this week with your questions. We even got a few death threats. Love you all bunches. Tune in for an impromptu puzzle-solving contest, as well!

This week is all over the board as Jinny, Ross and Qais join me in discussion about the Tesla Roadster (and how I got to drive one!), Scribblenauts (and how Ross hates fun!), the official Buddhist stance on violent video games (and how I like to alienate my friends!), the prospect of Twitter-enabled games and how to make an incredibly good Fallout 3 laser rifle. And then, sometime during the show, Qais finally puts the Kanye meme to bed. We hope you enjoy.

There are things we talk about in this podcast that are not Beatles Rock Band related, but those things are inconsequential. Perhaps we discuss Batman: Arkham Asylum (like the last three podcasts) or perhaps we talk more about PAX (which is old and busted by this point) but for sure Jinny, Ross and Qais join me in discussing Bethesda suing Interplay over the Fallout franchise, Disney's D23 convention and the Cheapest Muppet Movie ever made, the new Pirates of the Caribbean, how much Qais hated the movie 9, and the secret internet rivalry between Ectomo and the Weekly Geek. It is a rivalry for the ages, this one.

I know you're expecting us to say something like "we invaded PAX this weekend, and PAX didn't know what hit it" but in all honesty, we went for a day and a half, had some fun, and then went home to play Beatles: Rock Band. In this week's show, I am joined by Qais, Ross and Jinny as we talk about the events of last weekend (including our spectacular community meet-up) as well as Beatles: Rock Band, Batman: Arkham Asylum and Shadow Complex. If you didn't make it out to PAX this year, perhaps this podcast will make you feel better. Or worse. Mostly worse.

A Penny Arcade Expo approaches! Command? This week I am joined by the esteemed mister Qais Fulton, the always dapper Ross Rosenberg, and the fabulous miss Jinny Koh to talk about this year's Penny Arcade Expo festivities. We talk about the crazy variety of things to do during the sold-out convention, the Weekly Geek meet-up, what we're cosplaying as (!) and other PAX-related things. In addition, we talk news! Disney acquired Marvel, EVE online's had some sort of virtual money banking scam, Professor Layton is ruling our lives and Batman: Arkham Asylum is waaaaay better than expected.

PAX is rapidly approaching, Blizzcon came and went, and we've got a great batch of games to talk about on this week's show. This week I am joined by Ross, Qais and Jinny to discuss all the aforementioned happenings, as well as the big gay Shadow Complex debate and more. Lots more. Too much to mention. I also admit to crying at a movie. Quit hassling me, man!

This week Ross and I are once again joined by Qais and Jinny, who have since returned from quarantine. We fly by the seats of our collective pants in this completely unscripted and dare I say completely hilarious episode, discussing District 9 (no spoilers, we swear!), Ponyo, the XBLA "Summer of Arcade" including 'Splosion Man, Trials HD, Shadow Complex and more. We also discuss some rad-ass iPhone games and how District 9 is amazing. Oh, did I already mention District 9? BECAUSE IT'S AMAZING. Enjoy.
