We'll Fix It In Post - Episode 037

This week, Nevin and I prepare for Halloween by discussing the haunting hits of Bryan Adams, the terribleness of Joe Lieberman, the unsettling controversy surrounding the airport terrorist level of CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 2, and the spooky needlessness of Collector's Editions of video games. Also, Nevin laments his full price purchase of COMMANDER - EUROPE AT WAR, I gush over RATCHET AND CLANK FUTURE: A CRACK IN TIME, and we discuss the rampant state of iPhone piracy.

SHOW NOTES:

- This week's interstitial music is DJ Axel's "Steppin' Out Wherever You Like" (a great mash-up of Tony Bennett's "Steppin' Out With My Baby" and T.I.'s "Whatever You Like").



- Unfortunately, Activision's sent out C&Ds to most sites hosting the videos of the Airport level in CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 2. So you'll have to just read this coverage instead.

- Evidently, you'll have to pre-order Army of Two 2 in order to access one of the online modes.

- Gaze upon the majesty that is the God of War 3 Collector’s Edition.

- Two Joystiq articles highlighting the extreme state of iPhone piracy can be found here and here.

We'll Fix It In Post - Episode 036

This week, Nevin and I are joined by frequent guest Eric Neigher and games developer James McCawley. Marvel as Nevin and Eric debate whether our rights are natural or given by the state - for a really long time. We also discuss the latest NPDs, cover the joys of BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM, and Eric reveals his brilliant idea for a gaming clan name. And as fair warning, folks - this one starts off pretty blue.

Nevin's back from Canada and joins me to discuss the dead boycott of LEFT 4 DEAD 2, Obama's Nobel Peace Prize, the connection between game nerds and ADD, the property rights associated with digital downloads, and the Long Beach Comic Con. Plus, we lament our failure to play any new games, reveal our temporary love of DEAL OR NO DEAL, and Nevin breaks his chair on-air. Truly thought provoking entertainment!

We'll Fix It In Post - Episode 034

This week, Nevin's out of town so I call in the Legion of Substitute Guest Hosts - the Mep Report's Russ Gooberman, game reviewer Eric Neigher and the original guest host Brandon Smith. It's our big Fall/Winter Movie Preview, so we go through about a dozen films and make snap judgments about them using our unique scoring system. Plus, Russ asks why the hell we're bombing the moon, Eric confesses his love of space exploration, and Brandon raises an interesting ethical quandary.
