About Ross Adams

With John and Andrew both stepping down from the podcast for a while it’s left to me to take the hosting reigns. I’m joined by Perry Jackson and John Carson, who were good enough to record this particularly episode twice after we had some technical difficulties (surprise).

There was quite a bit of news out of PAX last week, from game announcements to title updates so we spend a while talking about some of them.

Sadly Street Fighter III is the only release from last week any of us spent much time with, but Perry and John spent a lot of time with it. They share their thoughts and John gives a little preview of his review which should be on the site soon. Since we had some time to kill we take a detour to some retail game discussion with the recently released Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Once again technical difficulties have conspired to make this show late but we powered through and bring you this late but still pretty good podcast.

John is stepping down from the podcast for a while so this week Andrews steps up to the hosting chair, joined by myself and Todd. We hit some news first off, including an unexpected rant about fighting games and some bemoaning of Fruit Ninja DLC.

We sadly lose Todd for the what we’ve been playing section, his internet didn’t want you guys to hear about the games he’d been playing, but myself and Andrew talk about a whole bunch of stuff. Including this weeks release of Crazy Machines Elements which Andrew thoroughly enjoyed.

Andrew shares the news of his new job as a member of Xbox Support on twitter, as a result he won’t be on the show for a while. So tune in next week for a totally on time edition of the show hosted by myself with some new voices for you to listen to.

It’s another slow news week and we’re also down one John Laster. Thankfully Todd fills the void and brings with him a ton of games to talk about. Myself and Andrew have a few to talk about to, so what could have been a fairly short and empty show is packed full of XBLA game discussion. So, get listening!

We had an exceptionally late episode last week, but we’re making up for it this week with possibly the most punctual episode yet! The usual cast of myself, John Laster and Andrew Crews are joined by Deputy Editor Steve Melton to discuss all things XBLA.

It’s a very slow news week this week so we spend more time that we should discussing just why we don’t want yet another Worms game on XBLA.

Things take a better turn when we hit the what we’ve been playing and twitter topic segments, in which there is some pretty interesting discussion of topics ranging from retro remakes to the often discussed friends list limit.

Apologies for the delay in getting this weeks episode up, the various technical difficulties with the site caused some issues. But here it is, only a couple of days late. In the meantime you hopefully checked out our special episode about Bastion featuring Greg Kasavin of Supergiant Games. If not go listen to it now!

It’s a slow news week so there’s only a few things to discuss before we move onto what we’ve been playing. Andrew talks about the trials of MLB Bobblehead DLC as well as the much more agreeable Warhammer 40k Kill Team which he reviewed. John and I discuss a few of the things we’ve been playing before we round out things with some twitter topics and questions.

We have a special episode of the XBLAFancast for you this week, don’t worry we’ve got a regular show coming tomorrow too (cause we love ya).

For this special however John Laster and Stephen Haberman are joined by Supergiant Games’ Greg Kasavin. As one would expect this episode focuses on Supergiant Games’ debut title, and the Summer of Arcade opener, Bastion. An action RPG with a beautiful art style, wonderful music and a unique hook in the narrator who comments on your actions throughout the game.

Greg talks about how he got into the industry before moving onto the creation of Supergiant Games and the development of Bastion itself.

Be sure to check out Stephen’s review for a more detailed look at what he thought of Bastion.
