Submitted Thu, 04/22/2010 - 21:45 | typezero
This week @play's Cory Davis (z-95) joins Trev, Nick and Type to talk about the last weeks news. Things get a little metal when Cory gushes over Brutal Legend. We get excited about the updates to a few games (L4D, TF2, BFBC2) and mob related video game fixing. We talk about videogame cookbooks and why Roger Ebert can shut the hell up. And last but never least we answer some WYR questions.
Don't forget to vote in the comments for the question we pose in the final section.

This week the guys are joined by Cory Davis, known on the forums as Z-95. He has a podcast of his own coming up in the next few weeks called At Play. We talk a little bit about that and what it's all about.
Then we jump right in and talk about what we've been playing, for Tino and Trev it was PAX East. They give some impressions on what they saw there and get us all pumped about downloadable titles. The news sections has talk of ARGs and Console changing announcements out of both Sony and Microsoft.
As always we talk some listener submitted questions, one of which Tino almost refuses to answer!
Enjoy!

CouchCast 19 - Contested Development
Submitted Fri, 03/12/2010 - 00:24 | typezero
This week the boys cast without an extra community member and talk of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings, no, wait, that’s not right at all. This week we discuss Infinity Ward's bad blood with Activision, Venezuela’s new Game and Punishment laws and Mac friendly Valve.
We get a few submitted questions and close out the show with awkward smirking and jokes that don’t quite work or are misunderstood by even the cast themselves, hell, we open the show with those.
This week Tobias' role will be played by Tino, Michael will be played by Nick, George-Michael will be played by Trev and Type Zero will be reprising his role as Ron Howard/Narrator.
We hope you enjoy.

It's business as usual this week at the CouchCast. The guys, Tino, Nick, Type, Trev and Amanda... HOLD THE PHONE! Amanda? This week the guys are joined by community member Nectar. They look back at the past two weeks at what they've been playing, and what's coming up in the next couple of weeks too. The group take a look into Bobby Kotick's latest public address at DICE, Ubisoft's DRM scheme, the next Unreal Engine, and what is being called "The Xbox Effect".
Questions were a little slim this week, but the group have fun with it anyways. As always a "Would you rather" gets snuck in, and much hilarity ensued.

It's the first podcast of the new year!
It's been a busy couple of weeks, a lot has been going on. Of course we had a new year, bringing in 2010. Also of interest was the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) which lead into a lot of interesting new gadgets we'd be experiencing in the next couple of years, a wonderful kick-off for the new year. 2009 was a big year in games, will 2010 be as big? The guys talk about what they are looking forward to this year and what their gaming resolutions are. As always; Trevor, Nick, Tino and Type answer listener questions and talk about what they've been playing for the past couple of weeks.
