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 21

Without Sticky, it's up to FearTheClaw and Boter to decide Which Sucks Less - the DS Lite or the PSP-3000. (A shame neither of them seem to speak English natively this week.) They reach a conclusion, bolstered by a message from Sticky, and continue on to such important topics as what market the PSP Go is moving into and Black Friday. This then go on to a large number of news topics, including Eric Estovillo suing more video game companies (in this case, Activision-Blizzard about World of Warcraft) and Nintendo's research tendencies.

Episode 20

The second portion of this week's Podcast double header is the official Game Nutz Podcast Episode 20. Which Sucks Less discusses the PSP-3000 vs. the PSP Go. After that, apparently intent on making Boter's tagging job easier, Sticky talks about Modern Warfare 2, Claw talks about New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and Boter gets a word in edgewise about Empire 2.0 (whose name he forgot in the podcast itself).

Episode 19 - Ultimate Flamebait Edition

In a special 45 minute episode of the Game Nutz Podcast, the crew skips ahead on the Which Sucks Less schedule so that Boter can participate in the Ultimate Flamebait Edition - Xbox 360 Elite vs. PlayStation 3 Slim. Who will win? Listen to find out!

After that, it's been a couple of busy news weeks and the crew talks about Modern Warfare 2, Assassin's Creed: Lineage, and the Nintendo DSi XL. They wrap up the massive amount of topics with a dense burst of Halo and finally sign off.

R.I.P. Art Starkweather. We'll all miss you.

Episode 18

Which Sucks Less: DS Lite vs. DSi

StickyNugget and Boter argue for the DS Lite while FearTheClaw plays devil's advocate. Listen in to see how that conversation went. Afterwards, they discuss what could make Too Human 2 good and how Ubisoft as a publisher in general, plus Forza Motorsport, seem to be overtaking their respective competitions (no pun intended). Then it's more speculation on what they'd want in the upcoming Xbox Live Rewards program and talking about a few more upcoming sequels, Assassin's Creed 2 and Kane and Lynch 2.

The podcast falls a bit short this week; recording wasn't paused when a customer called (and got the answering machine and called again); a fair amount of dead time has been trimmed, but we were seconds away from our software cutting us off at 35 minutes.

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.)
