Episode 23

In the first episode in a couple months without the Which Sucks Less feature, Boter and FearTheClaw (again with StickyNugget absent, I wonder what happened to him) carry the show without any embarrassing retreads of some of their earlier attempts (though they're in Canastota again; yay, acoustics). They start off with a conversation about downloadable content timing, move on to PBS televising the Video Games Live concert this year and video game music in general, and some new Nintendo trademarks. Boter, meanwhile, talks about downloadable content for A Kingdom For Keflings on Xbox Live Arcade, beta testing the same game on the PC, and then introduces the Dark Void Grab Bag of Swag.

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 8

For Episode 8, the hosts got actual lists of things to cover, so there's too much to summarize here. Highlights are talking about Modern Warfare 2, coin the phrase "Sticky Stupid", and talking more about Halo. Scribblenauts, upcoming video game movies (which Boter has collectively dubbed "VGMs" while preparing the podcast), League of Legends, Ikariam, and Game 3 also get mention, while simultaneously racking up a tremendous amount of tags for the blog post.
