Episode 45

What do you talk about when there's no appreciable news to talk about? Unimportant news - like NBA creating a pilot for a video game news show - then discussion topics! Ever wonder what it takes for a game to get 10/10 in a review? We discuss the idea of numerical game reviews and what the various numbers mean by different grading scales.

Episode 22

With the first episode from the new store (not an every-week occurrence, acoustics are bad, sorry) in Canastota, Boter and FearTheClaw tackle Which Sucks Less: PS3 Slim or Wii, and also go into a bit of news from the past two weeks. Some highlights include a rumor about a PSPgo UMD drive, a quick rundown of the best selling games in November, and a verdict on DS flash cards. They also manage to fit in some discussion about the tendency for current generation games to get patched after release.

Episode 10

Microsoft has decided to celebrate the tenth episode of the Game Nutz Podcast by releasing the newest Xbox 360 update (hereby dubbed the Shiny Xbox Experience). They take a quick look at the slim PS3 rumor and discuss various impressive bits with music games. Jumping on the Activision Hate Bandwagon proves fun again, and Sticky loses track of what he talked about last week and talks about Fat Princess and 'Splosion Man. Meanwhile, Claw's been playing fighting games and has gotten re-addicted to Pokémon.

In the one concession to reaching double digits, the hosts each take a few minutes at the end to share their ideas about the idea of games eventually becoming accepted in the same fashion as movies, songs, and novels.
