Episode 45: Free Sh*t Good Sh*t

Good Week dear listeners, please forgive the self censored title... or don't.  Either way we will continue to rant on in good oll SzG fashion.  This week we worry over the confirmed How I met your dad spin off, talk up more Batman vs Superman news, look at the possibilities for Spiderman 4 and his amazing friends, the possibility of 50 shades going NC-17. discuss the puzzling date for FFX HD's release.  This episode also sees the debut of a new segment for which this episode is named, Free Shit Good Shit, where we offer up was new and good in gaming deals.  As always we bring you what we're watching, playing and reading.

Also don't forget to send your answers to this weeks question of "what game that you love do you want to see a sequel be made and why?"

I've also included the most recent episode via the embedded link below




As promised I remembered to include the videos mentioned in the podcast
And Here We Go!



First up is the Trailer for Studio Gibili's new film "The Wind Rises."  While I don't feel that the trailer really sells it to the hardcore anime audience I can tell you my ass will be in the theater for this one.  The lauded praise really feels ultra bullshit though. 


Here we have the other side of the conversation from Gravity.  You finally get to see who Juli....Sandra Bullock is talking to and with subtitles!  Be prepared for some epic spoilers and crazy M. Night like twists in this one!  Okay, I lied... so its just a guy in the snow talking to Bullock about how he likes his Doggie.  But at least we now know that.


The last thing mentioned was this infamous included test audio with WinAmp.  Am I the only one that remembers this?  Bat sure as hell doesn't but he did laugh at it.  Anyways here is your bit O nostalgia.
On a side note, I dont remember the "in every direction" part being there though.



Well that is all for today and for the next week after as we all bask in the wonders of Turkey day, gluttony and Black Friday stories. But make sure to check out or next podcast on Monday December 9th were we will surely have plenty more to talk about.

Episode 44: Next Gen impressions, Current Gen Memories

As we started this week off earlier than normal we also seemed to hit a slump in terms of news as it seems Thor 2 is still doing its business and the video gamers of the world hold their breath for first launch of the next generation of gaming platforms (no WiiU you go sit in the corner).  So we take this week to discuss our thoughts on the Xbone and PS4's user interfaces and talk about what we are excited to see in the new consoles. While we're at it, we also decide to take a stroll down memory lane as we delve into our current generation favorites int terms of developers, games, memories as well as our biggest complaints from both systems. We also talk about what we're watching, playing and reading.

I Owe you all a few trailers which I will post later on today.  Thanks for your assumed patience

And for our first Official Trailer Review we have 4 for your considderation
And Here We Go!


First off is 47 Ronin with Keanu Reeves.  Looks pretty fun with a helping of fantasy and action.
Count us in

Number 2 on the list is Xmen: Days of Future Past.  Seriously who isn't in this movie? It looks the be a hell of a cast mash-up of Past and Present (meant to be read as a bad pun).  Though Bat is confused by the lack of Sentinels I am all for this streamlined and story driven trailer.  Count us in again


3rd on the list is the Cap 2 trailer.  Both Bat and I have expressed how unimpressed we were with this trailer.  Which is sad honestly, because it had been one of my most anticipated Phase 2 movies.  I don't think the movie is doomed, haha and the Marvel Puns keep rolling, but I think they can definitly take a few notes from the Xmen DoFP trailer and give us a more streamlined trailer.  Tell us what/who Cap is fighting, yes i know Winter Soldier but I don't think they sold it enough.  Count us out for the trailer


Last in this weeks Trailer Round-up is the Heavenly Sword Movie.  To be honest I feel really underwhelmed with this trailer for a game that was put out in 2007.  The trailer itself looks dated enough.  But beyond that, why put out a movie instead of another game?  Maybe this is their way of trying to get interest revved up?  I count my self out for this one.



So that is our first edition of the Official Trailer Round-up  (OTR has a nice ring to it).  Hopefully you enjoyed because I think we will be doing it a bit more often.



And that's all folks, catch us next week same Bat channel same Hammer time.
