Episode 17

Which Sucks Less: PlayStation 3 Original vs. PlayStation 3 Slim

The team continues Which Sucks Less with a landslide result as to which PS3 is preferred - but you'll have to listen to the podcast to find out which!

Sticky leads us from there into a discussion of a rumor of a new DS system (which will be referred to hereafter as the DSi Lite) and Claw talks about Jack Thompson's latest tirade. Boter talks about a couple of demos he tried out, and the team talks Halo for a minute or two.

FearTheClaw edited this week's podcast; I'll have to keep in mind some of the little bits for use when I get back to the editing.

. . .

Seriously, Claw? I was wondering why there was 45 seconds left at the end...

Okay, okay. Well played.

Episode 16

Which Sucks Less: Xbox 360 Elite vs. Xbox 360 Arcade

This week, the team debuts its new feature, Which Sucks Less, designed to help you decide what console to get for your loved ones this holiday season.

Additionally, the team discusses maturity in video games, the Wii 4.2 system update and a couple recent releases. (And Boter, being sick, got lazy in the editing room and didn't trim as much as he said he would.)

Fillercast 1

With Sticky and Boter gone, FearTheClaw leads a few of his friends in the Game Nutz Fillercast. Topics include Sony as a company, the Metroid Prime Trilogy pack, Bioshock on the Mac, and how much it's worth to get the Wii.

(Nice stereo panning there, Claw. Maybe when we bring in multiple microphones we'll do the same thing. Also, we have a new bleep sound. Send that my way, Claw.)

Episode 14

Proving that last week wasn't a fluke, the guys keep it together and deliver another great episode. After some opening with a new Sega Dreamcast game and The Force Unleashed, the big issue this week is Kurt Cobain's appearance in Guitar Hero 5 and his ex-wife threatening legal action. After that stimulating conversation, other issues such as STGC FragFest (the upcoming LAN party in Utica), Toys "R" Us entering the used game market, and EVE Online banning illegal accounts and proving how much it helped the game are also brought to the mix, plus Sticky talking a bit about the League of Legends closed beta that he's a part of.

The microphone glitched early on during the Crysis conversation; the missing bit is Sticky giving the four graphic levels, which are Low, Gamer, Heavy and Enthusiast. And now you know.

Episode 13

This week, making up for last week, the three hosts are all present and make a mess of the tag cloud. Interested in what they're talking about? A random sampling: the Halo 3 ODST live-action trailer, the new PS3 logo, lower resolution requirements for the Xbox 360, the Children's Miracle Network Microsoft Game Room Giveaway, League of Legends and... SingStar Latino?
