4player Podcast

It's Tuesday again and you know what time it is. After taking a week off from the regular podcast to play D&D and record our Portal 2 spoilercast, we return in full force. In impressions we cover everything from Nin Nin Jump to Mortal Kombat 9 to Outland with a little Red Faction Armageddon for good measure. We discuss our opinions of big announcements like the Mass Effect 3 delay and the newly unveiled Assassin's Creed Revelations and then we shed a tear for the developers who have been affected by the nasty PSN outage that started nearly 3 weeks ago. In addition to the content we usually bring to your earholes, our "Chatter 4 the Week" challengers duke it out over the top spot in truly memorable fashion and Brad accidentally looks at gay porn. Sit back, relax, and join us for our weekly nerd round table!

For part 1 of our "2011 Spoilercast Specials", we discuss our thoughts on Valve's latest masterpiece, Portal 2. We cover our opinions on the games expanded single player campaign/story and then look to David for his thoughts on the co-op. With so many significant plot points and exciting moments to cover, we had to give this game it's own special. Beware fellow testers, we don't hold anything back this week. If you had a chance to finish the game and want to reflect back on the experience, tune in and enjoy! Was there something we missed? Chime in below!

While David is in Seattle frolicking with Joseph at Sakura Con, Carlos joins Nick and Brad to discuss the week in gaming. In a week as important as this, you might expect us to be talking about Portal 2 but alas, Carlos decided he wanted to play 50 Cent Bulletproof... how odd. While the majority of our Portal 2 discussion will be held until our upcoming Portal 2 special, we still squeeze in some Socom 4, Motorstorm Apocalypse, and Mortal Kombat discussion. In the news we talk about Nintendo, PSN, and our hopes and dreams in relation to the upcoming Hitman game. Hunker down and clean out your ear holes folks, it's another episode of 4Player Podcast. [download] I apologize for the delay folks, my lap top passed away this week which put an unexpected delay on the show's release. We'll be back on schedule next week. Music this week comes from 50 Cent: Bulletproof (maybe... the song may in fact not be in the game at all but who gives a shit, it's Fitty Cent!) Follow us on Twitter Fan us on Facebook

This week Joseph was joined by Nick and Brad, yes a Cocktail Time with Brad that didn't get lost. deleted or disconnected! Quite a reason to celebrate.

Instead of talking about boring video games this week, we talk about the things that really matter... like Nintendo's terrible environmental habits and Brad's life as a closet headbanger. That was a joke. Actually David talks Metro 2033 and Saint's Row while Brad fills us in on why Divinity 2 shouldn't be overlooked. In the news, we speculate about the release of Nintendo's next console and the repercussions that this may have on the future of the Zelda franchise. With some news about the upcoming Twisted Metal and Elder Scrolls titles, a perfect storm of gaming is brewing. Enjoy!

Look! In the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's SUCKY SUPERMAN SATURDAY! Brad graces us with his opinions on just about every Superman game to ever release. David shifted gears and plowed through Infamous this week. Could it be that David is finally broadening his horizons and starting to play PS3 games. Let the trophy race begin! (?) News was light but we still manage to squeeze some good discussion out of topics like the newly announced Twisted Metal release date and the potentially short single player campaign in Id's next masterpiece, Rage.

We relax and let it hall hang out this week, or Faith does for that matter. We talk Dragon Age 2, New Vegas DLC, Swarm, Okamiden, and braless cosplayers so prepare yourselves. In a rather nice change of pace, there is a ton of industry news to cover including some fairly high-profile game announcements (Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City anyone?), Kojima's new position as VP, game cancellations, and Platinum Games plan to revive Japanese game development. Our community segment leads to some pretty outrageous discussions and we take a few minutes to answer viewer questions from the forums. Sit back, relax, and prepare to have your brain invaded as we smuggle video game enlightenment into your cranium!

I know it's been awhile but Cocktail Time is back! And what better way for Cocktail Time to be back than for Joseph to be pretty damn drunk AND get the show number wrong at the beginning of the show. Not only that, the entire thing abruptly ends when the Comcast internet goes down! YAY! Other than that Joseph Christ sits down with Carlos and David to talk about all things video games, alcohol and drunken stupidity! [download] Add Cocktail Time on Facebook.

Brad and David have a lunch conversation about Obscure Games, Majora's Mask, Prince of Persia 2008 and Crysis 2. Recorded March 31th, 2011. Dinner Time 063 – Obscure Lunch Conversation - [download]

It's Nintendo 3DS day and we celebrate as we always do by talking about it! Brad raves about his latest under-appreciated gem, Monster Tale, before Nick let's his love for Crysis 2 rain from the heavens. The biggest news this week is that Duke Nukem was delayed so don't expect much on that front. We make up for it with another fun filled community segment and some viewer questions. If you want to see how easily we get side tracked from viewer Q&A, this might be the show for you. 2011 continues to impress so dive back into our glorious, gyrating show. You know... sometimes I wish the ESRB would rate our show and write a description of it for us to release to the public. It would be funny and it would save me the time and effort of having to pull these show descriptions out of my ass every week. Cheers!

It's official. We are gonna burn in hell after this one. We come back to our regularly scheduled podcast; hot off the tails of PAX East 2011. We play catch up by talking about games for a good hour and a half before the conversation spirals out of control and goes full retard. We had to skip viewer questions this week so Carlos can tell his perverse story about how he watched animated hardcore pornography in a room packed full of dudes. It was a fun show (...and possibly very offensive) so join us once again as we take the topic of gaming and cram it into your ear holes.

Welcome to day 1 of 4Player Podcast's coverage of PAX East 2011 in Boston Massachusetts! Brad, Nolan, and Carlos made the journey and have already spent an entire day seeing and playing the games that the public will be playing later this year. Some of these games are games we saw at E3 or PAX Prime but a lot of it is stuff that is being shown for the first time so it's definitely an exciting show. With only 3 people to cover the event, a lot of our initial impressions can be found on these podcast recordings with additional written content to hit the site in the days following.
