If we’re understanding correctly the newest Mass Effect multiplayer operation will feature more banshees than ever before, as well as banshees on non-reaper maps. Just when you thought wave 11 couldn’t get any worse… extra banshees, more screeching, and even more shoulder massage of death.
Seeing footage of XCOM: Enemy Unknown at this year’s PAX: East quickly reminded me how much I longed for the glory days of well executed turn based strategy. Not only did the XCOM look incredible, it also seemed to mysteriously capture the tone and pedigree of the original title. If you’re anything like myself and have been waiting for a proper release day for this long anticipated title, we’ve got great news, the wait is almost over! XCOM is set to invade North America on October 9th 2012 for both 360 and PC. (click for more info)
Not only is Colonial Marines the canonical sequel to Aliens (one of my favorite films of all time), the game played well and was visually stunning. The fine folks at Gearbox and SEGA have finally given us a release date that’s not too far off, February 12, 2013.
Operation Silencer has been deemed a failure. Even though we here at NA killed a few thousand banshees on our own this weekend, we apparently didn't help as much as we needed to! I have to admit, when I first…
Believe it or not, somewhere one Earth Marvel’s Ant man is somebody’s favorite Avenger. With Avenger mania sweeping the planet (and draining wallets everywhere) Marvel Studios is fully aware that Ant Man has the potential to be HUGE (see what I did there). Scott Pilgrim director Edgar Wright will soon be bringing us the misadventures of Hank Pym, also known as the Ant Man. Considering Mr. Wright has consitantly given us cinematic gold, we have high hopes for the Ant Man franchise. Now, last we heard there is no solid plan to bring Edgar Wright’s Ant Man into the current Avengers film universe, but if we whine enough we may get our way. More importantly however are the following questions. Who exactly is the Ant Man? And, who is the perfect actor to portray the super genius Hank Pym?
I hadn’t heard all that much about NBC’s new science fiction survival story “Revolution”, until earlier this week while recording our very own podcast. Revolution follows the adventures of a family attempting to survive in a world without order, law, or electricity. As with everything J.J. Abrams touches, there will inevitably be a vast and complicated conspiracy designed to stretch for multiple seasons
You are in a post apocalyptic world. You can have one sidekick from any movie or game. Who do you choose? And why..
With only a few days left in their Kickstarter campaign Republique by Camoflaj and Logan still needs our help to get funded. By now I’m sure you’ve heard, “crowd funding” is all the rage, but are people already growing tired (or too poor) to help out the growing number of industry underdogs?
Amy was cool enough to chat with us about a number of her projects, new and old, as well as her starring role in Joss Whedon’s follow up to the Avengers. We hope you enjoy our incredibly fun interview with Amy Acker.
The drop ship was in site and we had less than 30 seconds to get on board before our operation was a complete failure. Tasked with the elimination of Cerberus Phantoms, we met heavy resistance and were struggling to get out alive. After fighting for what seemed like forever (or 30 mins), our team frantically sprinted toward our lingering salvation. Seconds before extraction, our Salarain engineer Yummo Jundomo was ambushed by a cloaked phantom, genetically modified killing machines courtesy of Cerberus.
I know what you’re thinking.. “WTF it’s time for the Twitter question of the week already?” Yes, yes, I know this is complete insanity! Due to some travel conflicts we have to record Episode 58 a bit early this week. The good news is we have a glorious Twitter question of the week that will surly get your juices flowing. On another note, have you stopped by our iTunes page to give us a rating yet? According to legend, ratings = listeners, and we like you guys!
We’ve been following the adventures of Allie ‘CossbySweater’ Goertz since we first became smitten with her incredibly catchy love letter to Dungeons and Dragons (tonight).

Being huge fans of fantasy, wizards, unicorns, and hobbits we’re elated to share Allie’s latest opus with you all. Enjoy The Hobbit Song, hairy feet and all.
