This week on the Couchcast we recorded live!

But then we got sad for all of you who couldn't be here to listen to us talk.  So we recorded it and have released it for you to hear and pretend like you were there.

The boys talked about Everquest Next, The Old Republic and Starcraft 2 alot.  We dished on Kotick and the ability to buy cheats.

We then took as many questions as could be thrown at us live and had a grand old time.

Thanks for listening dudes!

Finally they field some questions about undergarments and piloting mechs before trying to run up the mall escalator backwards.

This week on the Couchcast the boys are joined by one of Destructoid's Associate Editors Johnathan Holmes. You can tell he's a welcome addition to the cast when he likens a generally beloved game to being "loved" by a strap on. As well as being completely distracted by many unplanned topics we discussed Hulu on the PS3, Tim Schafer as a loveable scamp and Real ID.

Hope you're ready for a longer one, cause this cast has some meat on it's bones.

  This week we mourn the loss of our dear host Trev, who's currently in a better place. Which mean Nick hosted, and it was a disaster. Discussing some of the more boring topics in video games, Nick essentially held the podcast team hostage for the sole purpose of lame discussion. Still, even with absolutely nothing to talk about they managed to fill up a full podcast and enough b-roll to choke Oprah. Enjoy!

 It's E3 time and the cast discusses the highlights, what their favorite announcements were, and some of their least favorite things about E3.  Not to mention some surprising results during the, "what have you been playing?" portion.  Nick and Tino try to prove each other wrong multiple times, unfortunately neither can prove each other wrong unless they're in the same room.  Wrapping it up with some pretty excellent WYR and gaming questions.  Hope you all enjoy!

Hey dudes, this week we talk about the dirge of games that came out, Red Dead Redemption, Alan Wake, new League of Legends characters and Type continues his quest to lvl 99 in Castlevania.  News talked about was the Sega classics pack on Steam, OnLive, stolen MMO accounts and Blizzards view of DRM.

There is a great bonus interview from Nick with Eitan and Alec from Fire Hose Games talking about Slam Bolt Scrappers, a game Tino and I loved when we visited PAX East 2010.  This game looks awesome so far and we can't wait to see what E3 has in store for them.
