369 - Bo knows Jack
You Don't Know Jack isn't perfect, but it's a good time. Fox News doesn't surprise anyone when it bends the truth. There's a new kissing game in town. Ara might have cancer.
You Don't Know Jack isn't perfect, but it's a good time. Fox News doesn't surprise anyone when it bends the truth. There's a new kissing game in town. Ara might have cancer.
Another laughable shortcoming of Gran Turismo 5, a homemade death ray, and the most violent games of all time.
We discuss the broken Gran Turismo 5 tournament and argue very different opinions on what should be considered legal tournament play. Ara tells you why it's better to shoot ladies in the crotch. We review the many names that were not Demons Souls 2. We offer up a copy of Super Meat Boy in the newest round of Name That Game.
Even though Breach isn't very good, Alon is strangely drawn to it. While playing, he met a guy named Joshua Wise who runs a site called TheCrossAndTheController.com. He invited Josh on the show to talk about God and games. This is that show.
Dead Space 2 and EA's ill-conceived advertising methods, debate of Farmville's legitimacy as a game, and Kyle Pulver of RetroAffect.com
How the PlayStation 3's recent hacking has destroyed online gaming for the console and how Zynga has destroyed humanity through its completely unhacked, but totally warrantless, games.
The amazing Thrustmaster T500 RS is finally in the house, and Ara gives his initial impression of the build quality. Alon dissects Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2 and explains why it's the perfect, all-around gamer trainer. And Colin, well, he hates Stephen Totilo because Stephen is dead inside.
So many topics, so little time... This week, we covered the good and bad of opening tutorials, current generation haxoring, Go, ThrustMaster's pricey steering wheel, and super heroine boobs. Enjoy.
In the 360th episode of the ChatterBox Video Game Radio show, the gang finds out that they are the longest running radio show, OF ALL TIME. Listen along as they find out the secrets of Sonderkommando Revolt, multiplayer gaming, and the real power of friendship. Here comes another exciting episode of ChatterBox Video Game Radio!
Ara applauds Pac Man Championship Edition DX for its many ingenius elements, and Alon loves on his new Ubisoft BattleTag laser battle game. There's also some jovial discussion of the Holocaust and, perhaps equally interesting to some, Blizzard's intent to essentially sue all of South Korea.
Ara finds more to dislike about Gran Turismo 5, Colin wonders why there are no downloadable Kinect games, Alon still can't figure out why he enjoyed plowing through levels in Donkey Kong Country Returns, and PEN calls in to impress us with his incredible stories of masochistic restraint from game saving.
Gran Turismo 5 finally released, so Ara has a new game to obsess over. At the same time, Alon has been obsessing over Donkey Kong Country Returns and how it's helped him identify the characteristics of fun.
In tonight's show Alon, Ara, and Colin talk about the finer points of building an arcade stick, why production values aren't everything, ladies getting jealous of videogames, the eternal struggle against corrupt videogame journalism, and beads, beads, beads in Kirby's Epic Yarn!
The group is in agreement - we don't think Kinect is very good, even if it is kinda fun. We also learn how Molly snuck her way into the Super Meat Boy credits and what Ara hates about Call of Duty Black Ops.
Danny Baranowski tries to convince you that Super Meat Boy is the greatest game on the planet, then we all reenact today's Supreme Court hearing on the California game bill set to prevent minors from purchasing violent games. Protip - the Super Meat Boy tracklet played in this episode is a portion of McLarty Party People, named after our very own Molly, who assisted with its production.

What exactly is "twitch" gameplay? Why can't Sega make a good Sonic The Hedgehog game? What does 4Chan have against Minecraft? Why is Microsoft laying it all on the line for the Kinect?
This week's episode begs the question - What is more important to the world, the racism of Enslaved or the subtle beauty of Minecraft? I'm sure you can guess which wins.
In this week's episode, we find as many ways as possible to tell you why the new Castlevania: Lords of Shadow game is not good. We also talk to Molly, our resident GameCrush girl, about the recent changes to GameCrush.
