Show #33 – Coreplay

Ajguy shows the Final Fantasy lovin’ now that he’s had some time to play Crisis Core. Mike goes new old school with indy adventure game the Shivah. In honor of the Masters, we discuss the best golf game ever. And friend of the show Mark Salmela saves the day with an absolute last minute addition for the Mail Barrel. Well done, sire. Well done.

Show #32 – Show of the Plague Lord

This week Mike engages in even more Metal Gear while Ajguy does not object to some Phoenix Wright. Thrill as we discuss great Disney video games, discuss Sonic the Hedgehog across various forms of media, and read all the latest news. You did hear about the PS4, right?

Show #31 – God of Core!

Continuing internet woes at the EBP Headquaters delayed the publishing of the show, so think of it as our April Fool’s joke. But relax, we’re here and with a brand new segment. Thanks to an influx of reader mail (keep ‘em coming!), we proudly present the Mail Barrel. Listen as we answer your questions, talk sports games, and actually play our PSPs!

Show #30 – Unleash the Beast

I don’t know how we became so JRPG-centric here, but we take a look at Gamasutra’s list of 20 essential JPRGs. Ajguy takes to the stars in Sins of a Solar Empire, while Mike talks of his triumphs over Hades in God of War: Chains of Olympus. Sonic Unleashed more or may not be coming, so we celebrate with a Worst Ever this week as we discuss the most disappointing game releases.

Show #29 – Final Smash? Nah!

The EBP Studios (I just made that up) have gotten a new cable modem, so our network woes should be no more! It doesn’t affect us too much though, since we can’t stop playing Smash Bros. Mike did take some time to play God of War: Chains of Olympus, while Ajguy engaged in some more traditional gaming with the Settlers of Catan. Watch as Ajguy deftly comes up with a Best Ever on the spot! It’s the best game cinematic ever!

Show #28 – Brawl!

We’re a day late so we can give you the lowdown on the recently released Super Smash Bros. Brawl. You may have heard us talk about the game before. There’s some news and such, but let’s face it. We just want to talk about Brawl. Well, we want to play it, but we would never neglect you.

Show #27 – Objection!

We swear it seemed longer as we recorded, but it’s a short show this week. We’re still playing the same games (Lost Odyssey and Ace Attorney), and still reporting the news (of which there was plenty). The pre-Brawl excitement begins to hit, so expect a long and exciting show next week! Not to discount this week or anything.

Show #26 – Lost and Found

Rejoice, for Ajguy has a new Xbox (thanks to the much appreciated efforts of Mike, Chris, and Katherine). Excitedly, he tears into Lost Odyssey. Meanwhile, Mike has been engaging in courtroom drama thanks to Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. The Games Developer Conference consumes much of the news. And for whatever reason, we talk about the best ever worst Sega system. Good times!

Show #25 – How Do I Love Thee?

NPD numbers delight yet again, and it isn’t the same firing order this month. Why do you love gaming? The Minotti brothers tell all in this intimate look back at how these two miscreants became so enraptured in the past time that eventually lead to their podcast stardom. Mike has fallen in love with Persona 3, and Ajguy cannot get enough Audiosurf. Never heard about it? Come and learn, my friends.

Show #24 – Half Full of Half Life

Now that Mike has finally completed the Orange Box, it’s a Half Life bonanza. Spoilers to follow. Ajguy also really enjoys Poker Smash. If only he had an Xbox to play it on. Go make a sandwich and grab a drink! You’ll need the energy while you listen to this podcast. We wouldn’t want you to get dizzy.
