The Gamer Lounge

Well folks, it’s been a few months now since there has been a GL episode, and even more since I’ve has a CW. Well, you know what? After having two entire new show recordings get ruined, I am finally, at last, seriously this time, going to go with a mixer to end this crap. Oxygen sealed cables, extra channels, a nice new mic…doesn’t it sound great?

What does this mean for you? Better sound quality, more sound effects in the show, much faster editing times which will allow you to get your show at least a day early, not to mention all co-hosts will sound great.

I hope to make the big purchase this weekend and will take plenty of pictures when it arrives.

Want to keep tabs on the progress of this upgrade and all show news? By all means, come follow me at http://twitter.com/lukargo

It’s finally here!  A new episode featuring both Larry and I!  If I do say so myself, this is our best episode yet.  We wrote out some notes to follow during the show, things flow smoothly, and there were no sound hiccups that I could find.

Some topics are Spore: Origins and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for the iPod touch/iPhone, free MMO subscription models, Diablo 3 before Starcraft 2, Wrath of the Lich King release date, Warhammer Online, Smallville, Marble Blast Ultra, Star Wars TV series, Larry’s new mac, and more!

Did I mention we actually had a little bit of viewer/listener input this time?  I read one of the comments on the blog dealing with the free subscription model.  That could be you next time!  So leave a comment or send an email to gamerloungepodcast@gmail.com

So I’m sure many of you are wondering, “Why is there a crashed Ferrari here?”  The answer is for two reasons!  Numero Uno, Castle Crashers is a topic on this particular episode.  Numero Dos, is because The Gamer Lounge has gone under a sort of crash, if you will, due to school.  Because of this, the last three (I think that’s right) episodes have been only me.  However, Larry and I should be recording together again this weekend.  As Larry would say, “Woot!”  :-D

But enough of that, let’s talk about what’s on this episode!  Castle Crashers, Tropic Thunder, Star Wars Clone Wars, Orange Box, Watchmen, new iPods, Genius and so much more!  Reviews, Previews, and thoughts and rants.  As always, this week’s episode is worth a listen!

And folks, don’t hesitate to email me at gamerloungepodcast@gmail.com.  (Lengthy, I know)

As you may know, I am super excited about the upcoming Star Wars game The Force Unleashed. However, after hearing today that to kill bosses you need to successfully complete a series of timed button presses, I’m not so sure anymore. If this is true, hopefully it isn’t a make or break deal. If I have to start the whole level over again because I didn’t hit one button right, (download the Bourne Conspiracy demo if you want to experience that! ) that would suck!

Apparently the boss fights are relatively slow going as well. I don’t mind this so much though considering in the movies the fights were always long and drawn out as well. But again, the button pressing sounds stupid. I guess I would have to try it first before I could really say anything, but the thought of bringing down a giant rancor with my upgraded force lightning sounds way cooler to me!

On a final note Xbox Magazine rated it a 7.5, which isn’t great, but still pretty good.  We shall see I guess.

Actually, on another even more final note, they OXM gave Castle Crashers an 8.5!  Nice!  For once this issue has reviews super early!  Now if only the demos weren’t always a few months old…

Arrh maities! In this episode we talk about pirating, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed on the iPod touch/iPhone, Tropic Thunder, Dr. Horrible, Firefly, DVD release dates, and, as always, so much more!  Unfortunately it was cut short because I had a family reunion I had to head off to, and I had run out of hard drive space.  Both at the same time no less!

The Dark Knight is finally here! So, uhh…naturally we talk about it! That’s far from all however. Larry shows us some of his favorite iPhone/iPod touch applications, I talk about Too Human, and so much more!

This is one of those times where I just could not think of a good image to search for. Instead I just searched for “fat bulldog.” This is the result!

In this episode Johan (From Sweden!) joins us and we talk about everything from EVE Online to Hancock to gas prices. It’s worth a peek! Just to warn you though, you might have to turn up your computer/.mp3 player’s volume to hear Larry at certain points.

*Sorry that I haven’t been updating the blog as much lately. I’ve been a bit busy!*

EDIT: Want to check out our guest’s show? Come see it HERE! It’s in Swedish by the way!

The above is just one of many cool takes on the Apple ads that you can see HERE.  They even have an iFett version!

This is just one of many cool LEGO creations shown HERE. While it’s true I enjoyed playing with LEGOS as a kid, I was never this talented.
