Wambling Gamer Podcast #14- Howie doin’?

On July 28, 2010, In Podcast, By Nick Coffman

The first, and in my mind most important thing, to happen this episode, we now know how to begin the show. You’re all little monsters. Not Howie Mandel/Fred Savage style, Portal 2 style. This week’s show is fun, talking about how, without any good reason I continue to play Zelda and Max trudges through even more San Andreas. Top 10 list was a doozie, Licensed Games. In a feat of best-friendsmanship we both guess the other’s #1 pick. Then talk of news, mostly just Capcom fighters and Shank’s imminent arrival. After the break we have Zelda talk and a promise to keep it to a minimum and we go on. Deets and all that after the break.

We Download, you know, directly.

Wambling Gamer Podcast #13- Twitchin’

On July 21, 2010, In Podcast, By Nick Coffman

Fine, the cat’s out of the bag. We get physical (by which I mean defensive and catty), in this, our luckiest and highest numbered podcast yet. This week’s lists are below and are almost of a cliche ilk, I hope it doesn’t offend our more modern listeners. Others will find it refreshingly retro (much like the games we play). We also get down and dirty talking franchise fractions with Oddworld, Assassin’s Creed big dreamin’ and a little white lie from Sega. The game this week, Cave classic DoDonPachi, doesn’t click with me and Max takes it personal. It gets ugly, then sad, then happy, then really ugly, now we’re not talking. Next week is a personal fav, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. Show notes and contact info after the break.


Download it here, if you dare!

Wambling Gamer Podcast #12.5- State of Gaming

On July 14, 2010, In Podcast, By Nick Coffman

This is not your momma’s episode of the WGP. This is full of big talk (out our ass), grand (unresearched) declarations, and big (full of shit) ideas. There’s pathos, backroom corporate scheming, much talk of the elusive “stockholder”, and explaining “how it is”. It’s hard to listen to unless you feel like fighting. And you will once it’s done. No funny picture, no game talk, no music. This is the kind of crazy, middle of the night jabbering that inspired Max and I into starting a podcast in the first place. I’m just going to leave the normal contact info on the bottom. Oh yeah, one more thing. It’s 3 fucking hours long. Good luck with that.

Wambling Gamer Podcast #12- Sponsored

On July 14, 2010, In Podcast, By Nick Coffman

We’re legit bro. Just like pro skateboarders and up and coming musicians, the biggest turning point at the beginning of any fledgling podcast is getting signed. And we’ve done it. This week is very back-to-basics with news, an interesting  top 5 list and a tale from the Mamba Moose all before the break. But that’s not all. Even the break is snazzy. Young Marcus from Sony told us to step our game up, and we did. The game of the week was a nostalgia trip for me, Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie’s Double Trouble!. Try saying that 5 times fast without getting wicked bored. Next week is a bullet-hell shooter from the revered shmup creators, Cave. If anyone in Oly needs me, I’ll be downtown at Old School Pizza playing the DoDonPachi on their multicade machine.

Show notes as well as contact info after the break.

Wambling Gamer Podcast #11- Sayonara Joe

On July 7, 2010, In Podcast, By Nick Coffman

Adios, sayonara, adieu, aloha, lebewohl and goodbye Joe. Well, not really. Joe, being an actual adult, has moved onto getting high-paying and successful jobs with amazing and pleasurable glittering opportunities opening to him at every turn, like a erotic theme park fun-house with a vagina-shaped house of mirrors. And he’s getting paid. So he doesn’t have time for us, more specifically he doesn’t have time for the game of the week. If we can get him on, we will, because we love him. If we can’t, we’ll bury our sorrows in convoluted metaphors based in genitalia-roller coasters. Ahem…

This week’s news is all about the little guys like Twisted Pixel, the XBLA and Microsoft. Ok, it’s mostly about the little guy. We also talk awesome dudes (and 2 dudettes), that we’d love to share a metaphorical cigarette with on a rooftop and why GTA:SA will always be the most broken/addictive game of 2002-2005. The game of the week is Rayman, which we all felt the need to cheat on, and is admired at length. A lot of fun had by all.

Show notes, as well as at least 3 sexy ladies, after the break.

Direct download, maybe? Ok then.

Wambling Gamer Podcast #10- Double Digits Yo!

On June 30, 2010, In Podcast, By Nick Coffman

We’ve finally done it. With a new member, 2 lost episodes and 10 games played, we have finally reached double digits. It’s something I will tell my grandchildren about, and by grandchildren I mean random passers-by on the robotic super-trams of the future. This show had a somber tone, partially because our game this week, Knuckles Chaotix, is one of the main impetuses for most philosophers eventually slipping into nihilism. It brings upon malaise. Kevorkian uses it on those who wish to go, for surely after 45 minutes a player simply wants to give up the ghost and be rid of it. We also rap about Gaga, God, Beyond Good and Evil 2, and a bevvy of other worthwhile topics.

Next week’s game is the original Rayman, maybe in honor of the Rayman sequel being made, maybe in honor of Beyond Good and Evil 2. Who knows?

Direct Download, maybe?

Wambling Gamer Podcast #9- E3 edition?

On June 24, 2010, In Podcast, By Nick Coffman

So what the hell happened there? We’re new, granted, but when did that become an excuse for a nine day break during E3 week? Frankly, I think we were all just intimidated a little bit. The full story, we recorded 4 shows this week, a total of 7 hours on the mic for your truly, but only a hour and a half of that was recorded by someone, mainly yours truly. I am a man of conviction, and as such, I will profusely apologize and hope it never happens again. This week’s episode is a bit different. We’re going for brevity and concision, as we are all so fucking tired of talking to each other we could cry. It’s a fun time talking about Portal 2, Child of Eden, and the Nintendo 3Ds all wrapped around a brewing debate as to whether or not E3 has become too shitty. Plus, a lot of Super Metroid talk because, you know, I love you.

Next week’s game will be Knuckles Chaotix, because we hate ourselves.

Note: New episodes will be coming out on Wednesdays from now on, I hope you can understand. Show notes after the break.

Direct Download anyone?

E3 ‘10: GoldenEye 64 remake coming exclusively for Wii: Craig’d

On June 14, 2010, In News, By Nick Coffman

Peep this trailer. Pretty boss right? It’s prettier GoldenEye 64 on the Wii. But what’s this? Where’s Pierce Brosnan? That’s right, he’s been replaced by the new Bond, Daniel Craig. The trailer was pulled by Activision so it’s likely an official announcement along with more details is incoming sometime in the next 96 hours. Maybe. Just sayin’. We’ll keep you posted on all things Bondy.

PS- Oddjob has been confirmed for multiplayer. If you pick him you’re a filthy cheater.

E3 ‘10: Ubisoft, no U B soft!

On June 14, 2010, In News, By Nick Coffman

Ubisoft had a press conference earlier today (see: right now) staring the amazingly tall and charming Joel McHale; here are the worthwhile bullet points.

Children of Eden looks to be at least the spiritual successor to Rez, if not an actual direct sequel. CoE will be playable with Kinect but it has not been confirmed to be exclusive to the motion platform and does show the PS logo in the trailer. Coming to Sony’s Move as well? We don’t know yet, but we’ll know soon. Watch the trailer again, like, now.

E3 ‘10: Natal is now Kinect, beauty in the details

On June 14, 2010, In Feature, News, By Nick Coffman

Remember Project Natal, Microsoft’s answer to the Nintendo Wii that’s 5 years too late? Well, flexing their good marketing sense the series of cameras has been renamed from something pronounced incorrectly to something that is spelled incorrectly. It’s called Kinect, as in it connects and has you move around (kinetic energy being motion-based, you see). I had a series of mad-capped adventure this morning, so here’s just one big pile of info on the “dance like an omniscient robot isn’t watching” device due out this November.
