Pixelated Radio 17: Gears of Modern Battlefield 3

We are so damn energetic in this week's episode that we give you wings—Red Bull wishes they had our natural power! In case the text isn't clear, I'm being sarcastic. We are the crash that follows an energy high, burning out from too many video games. In addition to all the games we've played and my failed attempts at humor, we chat up some movies and television, as well as some news—such as the now very old Netflix/Qwikster weirdness, Kindles all over the place, and the blowing of stupid things of out Jonathon Blow's mouth. A snippet of what we've been playing can be found below.

This week's topics of discussion include: Gears of War 3, The Gunstringer, Battlefield 3, X-Men Destiny, The Binding of Isaac, Burnout Crash, Rochard, Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster, The ICO and Shadow of the Colossus Collection, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition, Moneyball, the news you can't use, and plenty more. We hope you enjoy your time and hope you stick around for more from Pixelated Radio. And a special thanks to @Lunchbox700 for his lovely email.

Pixelated Radio 15: Deu Sex Live on Game's Stop

Another week multiplied by two and another episode of Pixelated Radio. That's right folks, we are once again on time talking about OnLive in episode one-five. Did I need to do so much rhyming? Probably not, but if nothing else, I now have your attention. This week is all about diabetes but not really; however, we do talk about diabetes, the newest game Rob pre-ordered and we all hope it gets cancelled before release. In other news, we talk about the GameStop/OnLive fiasco at a point in time where no one cares anymore and we also mention the joys of dating a female tech blogger.

In this episode, we, uh, talk about, um, video games and some really crappy films. -- Topics of discussion: Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Rock of Ages, The Gunstringer, Warhammer 40K: Space Marine, Crimson Alliance, Crazy Machines Elements, Mother 3, 3DS Ambassador NES games, Red State, The Last Airbender, GameStop vs. OnLive, a bitch, Netflix, and plenty more . We hope you enjoy your time and hope you stick around for more from Pixelated Radio.

Pixelated Radio 11: Insect Armagettin' it on

This week's episode is yet another disaster saved by our god-given gifts of awesomeness. The disaster can only be blamed on Skype and its desire to annoy the living excrement out of me at every turn. We follow our usual formula of initial nonsense, followed by what we've been playin' since the last show—details can be found below. After we get through all the crap we've played, we discuss a few bits of news including the purchasing of PopCap by EA, Mad Catz's venture into game publishing, and the price changes for Netflix.

In this episode, we talk about the anger between a simple man and Skype, how Google will be a "positive addition" to your life, and teach everyone the wonders of not pardoning the interruption. -- Topics of discussion: Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon, Ms. 'Splosion Man, Frozen Synapse, Child of Eden, Shadows of the Damned, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Boulder Dash, Cars 2, Horrible Bosses, Rubber, and more. We hope you enjoy your time and hope you stick around for more from Pixelated Radio.

True Blood = Truly Bad

I never saw True Blood until a few days ago, in fact, I never even heard of the show until recently. I was extremely hopeful for this series and expected to enjoy it, even if it was only because I love vampires. Sadly, I was in for quite a downpour of disappointment.
