And we’re back!

(Well sorta…)

After being sick for the past couple of weeks (me), it turned out that it was both Darren and Eva’s turn this Satruday; therefore, it was up to Bryan and I to pick up the slack and turn our podcasting engines on overdrive!

In this episode, we put a lid on Bob’s Game, we offer our condolences to the members and fans of 1Up, and discuss the future of  video game print media. We then toss around our thoughts on Atlus Online, Red Dead Redemtion and Scott Pilgram VS The Universe.

All this, and much, much more, on our longest podcast yet!

Addendum: I just noticed there’s a glitch at around the 7-8 minute, which lasts for a minute or so. Other than that it should play fine. I’m curently trying to fix the file, and I’ll add a second addendum once the fixed file has been uploaded.

Addendum 2: File should work fine now. Enjoy!

The group, being sans Darren once again this week, does its best to cover the Midway Bankrupcy, Square Enix’s latest bid for Eidos, and the smack talk that’s been going on between EA and Activision. We also talk a little “bit” about  GTAIV: The Lost and Damned, Dead Rising 2, and Codemasters’ new promo.

Designer’s Corner returns this week with an indepth look at Skate 2, and in General Geekeries we discuss the business of “americanizing” things which come from Japan.

All that, and much more, as we do our best (and fail) to stay on topic!

We mix things up a bit on this episode on the Northern Geekcast.

Back  from the depths of Vana’diel is Darren, who joins us for a discussion on game design theory, as we try and aswer the age ol’ question: “What is a game?” We go over some of the more interesting news items from the past two weeks, such as the PSP2 rumours, Capcom’s list of new games, and a few articles that left us scratching our heads, like Guiness making it’s own Top 50 Games of All Time list.

All this, and much more, on episode 7 of the Northern Geekcast!

And so we’re back! Again!

On this episode of the Northern Geekcast, we try and make up for our missing episode, seemingly by making this one extra long  – Oh! Let’s face it, we just don’t know when to shut up. :P

But if you enjoy listening to our ramblings, be sure to join us today as we discuss the Red Cross, PETA, and OnLive. We also share our thoughts on the upcoming Batman: Arkham Asylum game, and we finally tackle our comic-book based movies debate.

All this, and much more, on Episode o8 of the Northern Geekcast!

On this episode of This Old House… Oh, wait. Wrong show.

But, if you’re here for the Northern Geekcast, you’ve come to the right place!

On this episode, we revisit our discussions about Blockbuster and PETA, we get “controversial” with Six Days in Fallujah, and we share our thoughts on (and dread of) the Shadow of the Colossus movie. In Designer’s Corner we go over what we’d like to see in the new Square MMO, and during General Geekeries, we talk about our failed attempt at a 24-Hour Comic Day. (Go us!)
