The MaldenCast

This week, we get our hands on the 3DS. We build it up, tear it down and let you know how we really feel about the first major hardware release in over four years. Sure, we talk about other things too.

This week the gang carves their way through the powdery slopes of video game land.

Ian shreds the double black diamond of text adventures, on his way towards the 3DS.

Chad reemerges from the lodge with a hot toddy and tales of faulty motorcycles.

Mike negotiates the moguls of Dragon Age, Swarm, Full House Poker and the fresh powder of WWE All-stars.

And Steve is a miserable pile of secrets. (sorry the metaphor was already wearing thin.)

 

This week, Peter rejoins the gang to talk about anime and his comic.

Ian talks about Libya and his Grandma (We suspect there's a connection).

Steve talks Arnold and Nerd Bait.

And Mike, talks about feeding the needy and laments the earthquake in New Zealand. Because he CARES harder than you do.

Games Discussed: Dead Space 2, Battlefield 3, Captain Commando (!?), Jurassic Park and Dead Island.

iPhone pick of the week: Tiny Wings

We found this episode lying around on the Malden HQ floor. 

We slobber all over the greatest show on TV: Community.

Steve is Hardcore. Ian is _____? And Mike is in (Dead) Space.

We're back! And we're rusty. BUT we plan on doing this regularly again.

This episode Steve goes to Sundance, Ian goes skiing and Mike is obviously hiding something.

We talk about the coming handheld war: 3DS vs. PSP2 (NGP(WTFBBQ))

Also we talk about Bulletstorm, Crysis 2 and we get all old man about the state of online multiplayer.

All this in more! Do you like 'ums' 'uhs'? You came to the right place!

This episode we talk God Of War III, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Sony's motion controller and some other games. Also Steve takes it to the nerds. Chad takes it to the Man. And Ian takes it to the streets.

This episode Chad, Mike and Steve talk Olympic fever, Nintendo and speculate about Ian's where-a-bouts. Then we learn that game developers have feelings too. Also we have a rather lengthy and spoiler free discussion about Heavy Rain. 

Are YOU ready for some football? We talk about the Big Game, Haiti and our ailing economy. You know, the topics you WANT to hear on a video game podcast.

Actually we do talk games. We look forward to the Wii's future line-up. We run down our Top Ten Games from 2009. And we sneak a little Mass Effect 2 and Assassin's Creed 2 talk in as well.

This episode it's a five man crew... for about seven minutes. Special guest Gil Ruta stops by to talk about Soccer and his arcade collection. Chad talks about quitting. Ian talks about, what else? Sports. And Mike can barely keep the whole show from imploding. Issues with Skype and Garageband conspired against him but, well shit, at least it's free. The Games: Assassin's Creed 2, DJ Hero and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories The Music: Nerf Herder, Tenacious D and Stephen Lynch. Merry Christmas, jerks!
